It is a legend long forgotten and lost to time, from the age when the trio of birds still held their title of titans, still were respected and revered and feared.

They had once been the embodiment of their elements, reigning above them, their influence on the oceans themselves the cause of many disasters. The people prayed to the guardian of the sea, prayed for safer journeys and clearer skies, for the elements to be quelled and the storms to be still. The guardian observed the destruction its titans were bringing, and answered the people's prayers, sealing away the elements and casting upon them a mortal, yet timeless form.

The titans were furious as their power was taken away, and so their guardian answered. Only the trust of a human would allow their seal to be cast away and their power to return, for they shall learn to be wiser and shall strive to protect those who they were supposed to watch over.

For countless years, there have been lineages of people, warriors that have earned the respect and trust of the titans, forging a bond with them in order to guard their people. It was this bond that allowed the titans return to their original form, and its burden placed onto the human so that no one may use this ancient power to bring forth more harm and destruction. Without a human to trust, a titan shall never return to its primal form, and without paying the price for it with their own blood, a human shall never be graced with a titan's true power.

Time however, is unforgiving. As the years passed and as times changed, these few trusted lineages have died out, and with them the knowledge has been lost, the legends spoken in tales forgotten, and the titans remain sealed away. There had not been a human able to forge that bond signed in blood since.

yukihane hayato ( 雪羽 · ハヤト ), loosely translates to just snow feather / falcon. his family name very specifically refers to his family’s direct connection to the lord articuno, a family who dedicated themselves to maintaining their connection to their most revered since ancient times. his clan is one of the original families that settled into the region now known as violet city, originally a migratory tribe of falconers that settled permanently upon discovering the western roost of articuno, when the tides surrounding seafoam islands grew too high to remain in the depths of the cave systems. 

this is technically public information as far as central johto goes–especially those who live in violet city. articuno can often be seen flying overhead or even in violet city’s gym for those lucky ( or unlucky ) enough to be able to battle them. of course, this does require a great deal of care to be taken in order to prevent theft and needless injury, especially after the events of gsc/hgss. however, the bird is not stupid. articuno is the epitome of “do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. i was there when it was written.” much like their brethren. 

what is kept private, however, is the transfer of knowledge and preservation of articuno’s primal reversion, which is the real reason why articuno has thus stayed attached to the yukihane family for generations. the connection between the two entities is not bound by anything except for mutual trust. the yukihane family chooses to bind themselves to the honor and the duty for their revered.

"You know maybe you should go and get laid, maybe some good time in bed will get that stick out of your ass and get you to relax and loosen up." Guess the poor bird guy nearly having a stroke with some mix of aneurysm in there right in the middle of getting frustrated at all this training wasn't enough to bother Volkner.

"I—Wh—EXCUSE?! YOU?!" NANI THE FUCK?

"This isn't for me, it's for you to not kill yourself in front of the person you care about, you know! Being chosen as an Herald is not something to take casually!" Truly, he struggled to see it any other way, raised on this with every family member that even so much as survived the ordeal. "Promiscuity won't change that!"

Hayato sighs heavily, raising a hand to his head to press against the throbbing he can feel coming on. Why did Zapdos choose this one, he would never know. It's not really his place to ask either, but Volkner certainly has the audacity that would fit the thunder god by way of personality. He's frustrating to deal with—agonizingly so—even if his heart is in the right place.

After all, he wouldn't have come all this way, looking like a sopping wet dog, so far from home. He certainly wouldn't have stayed if he wasn't willing to learn.

His Lord Articuno regards him with a sidelong glance, feathers shuffling and settling back, eventually turning to Volkner. It's best not to rile him up too much, even if that's a difficult feat in itself, it seems to say. He's trying his best to help on the fly.

At least he seems to have regained his composure... "Alright—if you've got your little fun out of the way, let's continue before we break for the afternoon. You've certainly been making a lot more calls this week. Perhaps you could benefit from some recuperation. Come on."

“Examine!” braviary :)

It's nearly impossible to get this bird to settle down—Volkner claims she's merely a hatchling in comparison to the ones he had seen. He's incorrect, but he's not wrong, a gentle graze of her down feathers reveal to him that she has molted maybe once or twice, incredibly soft to the touch. There are a couple of pin feathers beneath the visible surface, but her sheer size gives her the advantage to preen effectively. But, alas, that's the normal part to every bird.

She is Hisuian, apparently. Hisui....

( he recalls the land labeled on old maps that are long buried in the storeroom in the yukihane estate, what was now sinnoh... he really did go to a time that was supposed to be long past )

Hayato stares at the crest upon her head. Flame-like in appearance, they are but a manifestation of psychic abilities—not something he would have expected as a variant, and he can't help but wonder how this evolution line died out. She's large enough, even as an alpha, but her proportions indicate this variant was bigger than typical Unovan Braviary... he has to admit he's fascinated, in the end.

A hand raises up, curious, and the excitable bird brings her head down to brush up against his hand. The duality in features... her beak is tough, sharp along the edges for piercing and ripping flesh. Her talons can do the very same, if not with harsher results with the amount of muscle she can carry compared to her surviving cousins. Impressive...

( it's a wonder volkner hasn't gotten clipped by her either, he ought to ask about the circumstances )

"For all the unsolicited kidnapping you like to do, perhaps you'd benefit from having real prey to chase down, wouldn't you? Is Volkner letting you keep to your instincts or do all the berries placate you?" he hums softly, clearly not expecting an answer from her. "Some ocean could do you well, I think."

The legendary gazes quietly at Zapdos' herald, piercing crimson not unlike those of it's sibling—it lends itself into being perhaps... less aggressive than the other, but with the knowledge of tradition at hand, it is no more than a ruse. Although the most sociable, Articuno does not appear to just anyone, as a legendary does.

However, this one. Volkner, his name was. Articuno had come to know Zapdos' herald through their bond, quietly observing him during his crash course in training to handle the burden of lightning incarnate with Hayato, seldom in his lonesome when he was forced to rest. Now, it's quite convenient that he had brought another 'mon that was capable of translating to human language. Articuno gazes at Rotom for some time, the little ghost bouncing around in the air for some time in idle excitement.

Somehow, it seemed like every team member Volkner possessed was a reflection of his personality.

Articuno ruffles it's wings, stirring up a chill in idle movement. It appears to be almost pleased.

'You've grown, Volkner. From the day my brother brought you here. There's less pain in your eyes.' Articuno's verbal cues are closer to soft warbles, gentle shifting in soft feathers. It's cry is ear piercing when needed, but otherwise, Articuno could be mistaken for a local pheasant. 'You remain resilient, and that is why I allowed you to learn with Yukihane—I am not the only experience that has pushed you to your limits, and I expect such things will not be worn in shame.'

The lord of ice stalks over before simply just.. resting his chin on Volkner's head as a gesture of trust as it is gratitude, before stepping back. After all, this one was not a fan of the cold.

'You've also taught Hayato much in your time here in Johto. For that, I am grateful. You have a comrade in him as well as I. You need only make the call.'
