Night Creature

''Note: This is a shortpasta based on another shortpasta. The sprite is by Nintendo, but edited by me :D''

'On the darkest night,

if eight light rings appear at once,

Do not be to it straight!

Or your death will be precise...'   

My grandma, Glaceon, always told me that. I've never believed it, since it didn't make any sense. How could light attack you? Though now, I feel terrible for not believing her and would never have left if I knew what was to happen next...

One night, we had run out of berries and so, my grandma sent me off to find some, and to be careful not to wake the night creature. However, I didn't listen as I left, assuming it was just a silly fool's myth.

I started the journey, walking on in the tallest grass, to where I would find a whole heap of berries! They looked so bright, so delicious! I suppose my grandma wouldn't be mad if I ate just one...

Suddenly, in the middle of all the darkness, eight light rings appeared in sync, just like the fool's myth said.

I slowly walked next to the rings, happy to see a light in the dark of night. I tickled the light-maker as a little reward. Without warning, the creature swiftly sank its fangs into my arm. Its dark red eyes glared into mine and it painfully bit onto my tail. Crying in pain, I ran as fast as I could with the half-eaten berry still in my mouth. The creature followed me on a faster sprint, trying to finish me off. Luckily, my grandma appeared and bit its neck and the scared creature ran into the tall grass.

Disappointed, my grandma turned to ask me:

"Oh dear, I told you all the time, this dark creature lives here. You need to be careful... Beware the tall grass, next time."

Now that I'm an Espeon, I make sure to light my gemstone each time before walking into the tall grass. Now when it sees me, it runs away, scared and confused.

I learned its name: Umbreon, the darkness prince.

''Beware! Do not give on tall grass a breath!''

Or the dark prince will bring a swift death!
