Description Five souls are brought together by the threads of fate woven from a conflict which happened decades ago. A conflict binding gods and mortals. Man and Woman. The Heart and the Soul.

Tainted by a curse from the Renegade, a Lucario seeks protection from the Time and Space deities. But a single emotion, of which neither god nor mortal is immune, threatens to tip the balance between the two opposing sides.

The actual title page of a fanfic of the same name, which could be read here: [link] .

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina may already be familiar faces, but can you guess who the two other female characters are? ;-p Okay, they're the characters of my co-author, and they're featured in an older artwork . BTW, the true main character is the foreground Lucario (YES, she's a Lucario), Shan. The others in the title page, however, are major figures.

Pokemon (c) Satoshi Tajiri, but the gijinka forms and the characters Shan and Kuro are the creations of Antarel and Chaos Githzerai. Don't use or distribute without our permission.

Read the artist's comments. The hints are there.

The one with a pink magical ball is a female Lucario....right?

Antarel In reply to KitsuneKyukon [2009-11-02 12:53:06 +0000 UTC]

That "ball" isn't actually what it looks like, but yes, you're correct. She's from the Lucario clan; she's just not wearing the usual attire that characterizes her species.

You read the story?! *squeals* Do you mean A Lengthening of Shadows or the still in-the-works The Truth Behind the Eclipse (hopefully both)?

Jen-Sunshine96 In reply to Antarel [2009-10-12 22:12:35 +0000 UTC]

BOTH! And Timeless! I LOVE ALL OF THEM! You are SO good! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! It's like haunting me in my dreams!!!

Antarel In reply to Jen-Sunshine96 [2009-10-12 22:17:35 +0000 UTC]

That's just so great! ^^ Timeless is wholly my co-author's work (I LOVE it too, very much), but yeah, the main character for Eclipse and Timeless is the same. Really, you should pay attention to how Giratina interacted with Palkia and Kuro in Shadows, because /something/ will happen in Eclipse that will be traced back to those interactions. ; p

I cannot wait! Seriously! Hurry! ME WANTS MORE! Sorry if that is too much pressure XD
I absolutely adore the love-triangle-ish thing you have going on...it's awesome. Chaos Githzerai is an amazing author too. I tried writing about your characters in my own little fanfic, I must confess...and it sucked. You people are awesome. Jeez, I'm jealous.

Don't worry, don't worry! We'll get our asses working once my sembreak hits in, and only a few days more. *finishes college requirements like hell* I want to get back writing on that fanfic already, trust me.

D'awww...I want to give Weaville a long, endearing hug to help stop her tears....but I can still see a slight improvement in your main trio.

Antarel In reply to NinRac [2009-07-06 10:09:08 +0000 UTC]

Aaaaw, yeah, Kuro needs lots of hugs since she's...not getting any from the one she loves. I suppose you have an idea on who he is, right? *winks*

Yeah...life is cruel in that way sometimes...and I've got my guess...then again, you did post a different at the same time and that does answer a few questions

Antarel In reply to NinRac [2009-07-07 11:25:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh so true. ;_; *giggles* I'll let you in on one thing, though: Kuro will develop a rivalry with another female (someone you already know) because she will misinterpret the interactions between the said female and the man of her dreams to be something...in the lines of Romeo and Juliet. We all know, of course, that that is not the case. ^^

NinRac In reply to Antarel [2009-07-07 17:35:34 +0000 UTC]

Interesting. It definitely says a bit about how love can be blinding and bring out some of the worse characteristics in people, such as rage, jealousy, and blindness. Sure there are times where it can be the case but it isn't always.
