A Well Earned Celebration

[The battle was over and the god Reshiram defeated, driven away by the aid of Union and its allies. The city was safe, by and large, and as the news spread throughout the peoples of the tundra, they began streaming back into the settlement in droves. Dirty, ash-coated faces were filled with relief and gratitude when they saw that it wasn't just a rumor and that their home had indeed been spared. Not everyone was so lucky, but they'd weathered worse, of course. The people of Glacier endured, as they would always endure, and they were also a people that repaid their debts. And they most certainly all agreed that they owed their rescuers a debt.

So, as night fell after the battle, a great celebration was prepared in the center of Glacier. A wide square was cleared away in a matter of hours, and the people gathered what they could in a show of thanks. Tables of food, bonfires towering into the night sky to keep out the autumn chill, and throngs of cheering wellwishers lined the area. Warriors of glacier, men carrying swords and women all bearing axes offered enthusiastic handshakes and claps on the back. Music of all kinds was played, though tribal tunes full of horn and percussion, chanting and yodeling, and even some brass groups dominated the soundscape.

A platform for various elders was set up, and they offered speeches, of course...but those were somehow dwarfed by the presence of the divine beings that were waiting silently for the proceedings to end. Some of the gods that had come to the aid of the war parties had apparently decided to stay, though their reasons were as mysterious as they themselves. The humans would have their time, and the Servants would mingle freely throughout the evening.

Food, of course, is set out in piles. Meat, fish, arctic berries, and various pastries and the like line table after table. A smorgasbord of Glacier specialties, each with a new and unique flavor all their own, and some (such as the stew) possessing a smell that only a native could probably endure. Akutaq in particular seems to stand out among the worst offenders, but the Glacier natives seem rather fond of it, and offer it to their rescuers with great gusto.

And the rewards do not stop at simple meals. either. As the speeches begin to wind down, a woman some might find familiar walks up onto the stage carrying a singularly massive trunk and dropping it down onto the wood with a heavy thud.]


Southerners! You have done a great deed this day! We, the people of Glacier, would like to thank you and honor your sacrifice! Few would do as you have done, coming to the aide of strangers against the might of that dragon...and you have accomplished something we did not think possible. To that end, we would like to present you with the first of many gifts, a token of our gratitude and a promise that should you need it, we will come to your defense in a time of need!

[And then with a sharp kick, she cracks open the trunk and reveals a veritable treasure trove of three different stones to be distributed by her subordinates.]

Rest well, and enjoy the festivities! You are welcome here, for as long as you like! Eat, drink, and be merry within our halls!

[Minako and Eros found Moltres bopping its head in time with the song. She smiled at that. It was... cute, in a way.]

Ah... Hi. Thanks for jumping in like that. I really appreciate it.

[The Sylveon bobbed his head yes in agreement. He appreciated it, too!]

[ Yes, please, praise the bird more. Lord knows it could use a bigger head. Moltres puffs out its chest a bit, holding its head a little higher than before. ]

"Of course, of course. You know, I wouldn't do that for just anyone, especially unsolicited. You should be grateful one such as I took pity upon you."

[ Moltres: The pinnacle of modesty. ]
child_of_luv: (Oh Hahahahaha!)

[Minako was a bit stumped on how to take that for a moment, and laughed nervously to cover up her hesitation.]

Uh, right. Yeah. I'm very grateful...

[Eros tilted his head a little.]

Pity? [He 'sylveon'd at the bird in curiosity.]

"Darling, don't tell me you thought you could do all of that by yourself."

[ Was the fire bird laughing? ]

"You might have managed, but I highly doubt it. To be honest, you should be honored. It isn't every day that we help humans, after all."

Right. It isn't. [She smiled a bit. She could kind of agree with that, but they helped often enough, she supposed. Others had been nicer, at least, and not as... important? But she was still grateful at least.] So, yes... I really do appreciate it.

I am a little curious, though. What made you decide to help this time?

[The Sylveon's ears drooped a little.]

"We might have been able to..."

[Though, he sounded a little unsure of that now... especially in the face of an actual god Pokémon.]

"Must you humans always ask so many questions? We helped you because we did. Goodness, aren't you nosy."

[ Moltres preens a bit self-importantly. ]

"But if you must know, we were asked to, simply put. I wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this if I didn't have to be."
child_of_luv: (Does This Look Okay?)

[personal profile] child_of_luv 2015-11-08 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Sorry. I was just curious. I wasn't trying to pry...

[Goodness... she felt really small at the moment.]
