Sinori's Tale - Chapter One
_ My name..._ Long before I was born, _thousands_of years before that moment, I already had a name. A musical sound of syllables strung together to mean me, and none other. A particular inflection, perhaps a bit of awe, maybe a slight amount of...
Sinori's Story - Chapter Five
I opened my eyes. That alone surprised me. I had succeeded - my own history had been changed. I no longer had any roots in reality. How did I still have eyes to open? I was surrounded on all sides by mist. All sides - there was...
Sinori's Story - Chapter Four
The Magikarp was having the worst day ever. He had started off the morning trying to find a bite to eat, but anything that seemed even remotely like food all turned out to be the metallic baits used in a fishing pole. Just when he thought he was...
Sinori's Story - Chapter Two
My body felt like it was being twisted in six different ways. I tumbled through the air, vaguely aware that I had fallen out of Phoenix's grip... and then I smacked into something hard. I rolled downwards and finally came to a stop on a rough...
Sinori's Story - Chapter One
I watched Clara walk carefully towards the mountain. Opal limped on her left, moving just as slowly, as they scouted a path through the time-shredded landscape. Sonata rested on Sara's shoulder as she walked behind the Espeon and the Umbreon. The...

Sinori's Tale - Chapter Six
I woke to the sound of an angry growl. My eyes shot open and I was halfway to the entrance of my den... when I realized in embarrassment that the growl had come from my stomach. I glanced around the den just to be sure, but I was alone. ...
Sinori's Tale - Chapter Five
I woke up to a sudden feeling of pain at my back... and then I was slammed into a wall. Instinct took over. I scrambled to get my legs under me and shut out the pain screaming from my back and my side. I had to get out. That was priority one -...
Sinori's Tale - Chapter Four
I woke several times during the day, and finally gave up trying to sleep closer towards the afternoon. It was early for me to be up, but I was feeling too annoyed and guilty to really rest. Hunger was starting to become more noticeable too - I had...
Sinori's Tale - Chapter Three
The next few days were nice. I didn't do much the very next day - I didn't want to run out of food before another job came along, so I conserved my energy and lazed around my den. The day after that I ate the second berry, and with that in my belly...
