Title: Duty
Character: Dusknoir
Summary: Nothing can prepare someone from a world without beauty for seeing it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the Mystery Dungeon games.
Notes: I like the concept, but not the execution. As always, spoilers for the games.

Duty
It's beautiful.

He knew it would be, of course. He has been told what the past was like, how it would be. But nothing can prepare someone from a world without beauty for seeing it. Nothing can describe beauty to one who has never seen it.

He stands there, on that cliff, and just stares. He watches it, looks at it, drinks it in until his eyes burn with the sheer wonder of it all.

A lesser Pokemon would have doubted their master upon seeing this world, even if just for a moment.

Not Dusknoir.

He drinks in his fill of the beauty, then, finished, turns to leave. He has Time Gears to be saved, and a beautiful, wonderful world to be destroyed.

He has a job to do.
