#me realizing that yveltal absolutely had escorted aster to the afterlife 🥺

[gardenofgods]

Rayquaza has had a number of lorekeepers over the past few thousands of years. Many of them were also his champion, and he had a deep bond with them. All of them impacted his life in different ways, and he was torn and stricken with grief with each of their deaths. Some he got to spend years of his life with until they died of old age, while others had untimely deaths.

He did and still does care deeply for all his lorekeepers of the past, but Aster’s death specifically was what made Rayquaza feel like he was torn into pieces. Unlike the other lorekeepers, he had practically raised Aster since she was a child, after her parents were killed during an attempted kidnapping. While the other lorekeepers did feel like family to him, Aster was the first one he had a more parental relationship with.

Having her suddenly snatched away from him at such a young age, not to mention the bond they had was severed violently, was physically and emotionally agonizing. Rayquaza spent weeks recovering from the altercation itself, and the toll of her death as well. For many days, he could hardly even move.

As much as he hates it, and would never admit it, a tiny, tiny part is glad that there aren’t many left that can be his lorekeeper. He can’t deal with that level of grief and pain again, and it has worn on him considerably over the years. Rayquaza is someone who gets attached to people very quick and easily, and that absolutely can be said in regards to his lorekeepers.
