Heading fast to Alomomola Bay two pokémon were in a rush. Miracle, a zorua was in pain and coughing up blood and losing his sight. He was on a wagon as Cataria (a vulpix) was going as fast as she could to get to a merchant. The cart was about to fall apart as she reached the meeting place. Her partner was breathing very shallow breaths as the merchant came to see her. She was getting sick from the disease and about to collapse from fatigue. "Cataria I can safely assume. I am the merchant Ivan and you asked for something special only I have?" The merchant asked? Panting she replied, "I did what you asked and we are rogues so, here is the money for two cures and make it quick. I, I can't lose him at all!" She was desperate as the sandslash pulled out two needles and cleaned a bit of skin under each of their chins. He jammed the needles into their necks and she looked at the payment. It was credit chips worth $500,000.00 and a vial of blood. The merchant took the payment and left them to sleep the afternoon away. Cataria woke up and looked at her husband Miracle and he was stable. He was still weak and she stepped on the cart just to see it fall apart. She picked him up and carried him to the rental place that owned the cart. "Lady Cataria, where is our cart?" The clerk asked. She replied, "It is outside of the city and fell apart. You said it was free to use if I got the cart near the city and I did. He is getting a little better but I need a place to stay for a little while as he starts to recover. Do you know of a place?" The clerk gave it a thought and told the two, "Try the Kings Rock casino and they are currently looking for helpers to do some jobs." Cataria told the clerk, "þancian" (Thank-you in old Taolish) The clerk was confused at the work and she left in a hurry. At the casino she asked a slowking, "I heard recently that Royce is looking for help and my partner needs some place to recover from his sickness. Now my shoulders are hurting so, can you direct me to the owner, please?" His reply, "You are speaking to him. He looks near dead, are you sure he will recover?" She flopped to the floor and said, "He will. I have seen the medicine he got; it does miracles in a few days' time. I can pay you for a place to stay but; work would be better?" She was not that subtle with that hint. He gave it a thought and walked around her. Royce said to them, "Those are exquisite bandanas' you to have on and they match. Where did you get them?" Miracle replied in his weakened state, "You have to be married first. They are betrothal bandana. Where am I?" "Wait one moment. You two are a couple at your age? You two must want to have eggs so badly, how about the honeymoon suite for a small fee as normal rooms are cheaper?" Royce asked. Cataria replied when she whispered in his ear, "I can't make eggs, I have tried and it was an arranged double marriage. I am his first wife and his second hates him but, can have eggs. I really do not want to put that out as some in this part of the world would think it is immoral but where his father is from it is common among the rich and powerful for political wedding. I married for love but, she was force to." Royce pondered what she had said and gave them a cheap room and a few jobs to do. In the back of his mind was the question, 'Where is she from with that accent?' That was not an issue just yet. He let them sleep as she was tired of carrying her husband and he was dehydrated. It was the evening when they got a notice of work to do. There was finding the counterfeit chips, entertaining a regular, fixing some faulty slot machines, catching a few cheaters, and a few minor tasks. She looked in her collar and had her credit chips stitch in it. She looked at the amount and sighed. She thought, "Fifty coins and that is it? Maybe, I should guard the cash transfers to the bank on the other side of town. It goes through the slums and I will be alone as Miracle sleeps for a few days. Evictions would be a good start." She pulled out a list and let her husband sleep as she toured the wealthy neighborhood and there was the first address. She was on edge as the door was open and to her shock the one to evict was hung from the chandelier. She ran out and had to vomit in the front of the house. She said to herself, "Evict from what? They are dead unless that was the other parent? The list said it was a single person. I have to report this and go to the next house." Four houses later and she was done for the day. She reported to Royce, "Four notices sent and one security report. One person on the list took his own life or it was foul play. I reported it to the Corps already and I feel sick about the two children crying. I have a question, is Anana the unwritten ruler of this city?" Royce replied, "She is not but, is very powerful in the city. Only the Three Kings bank has the riches to challenge her. That is where the casino's primary vault is. Tomorrow, can you help guard the deposit as your husband tries his hand at the 'Risk room'. He has an alar ego who claims to be Rasputin anyway, he was about to pull out an eye of one the patrons to that room without hesitation." She quivered in fear, "Rasputin is the West Tao god of suffering and death?! I thought it was just a legend. Those tattoos were seals and at his weakened state that god can came out?" She told Royce as she was in shock. Royce replied to her, "I do not believe in gods but, is he sane or insane?" She felt dizzy and left for her room. Miracle was crying when she asked, "What do you remember?" He replied, "Nothing at all. I was sleeping on the bed and then, I was covered in blood. This is just like before, what is wrong with me?!" She tried to relax and said, "Ignore it and do your husbandly duties for me, Please?" She was not in the mood but, she feared what he would do if his mind cracked. She was not rushing and found a cheaper place to stay. It was an estate that a kindly old luxray lived in. He let her and her husband stay there for a week as long as she did not lay an egg. That night she was grooming her husband and noticed his tattoos were fading. She was scared what would happen next and looked at the job list. She was afraid and looked at herself. She stopped getting bigger, but, she felt strange. She said a prayer, "Please gods of the old country. Keep rasputin locked away. Hear my appeal and please let me have an egg of my own." Cataria went to bed and slept lightly as nightmares kept her up. It was late and she needed to take a walk. It was just before dawn and she was walking in the slums as it was filled with the new homeless patrons of the casino. The guilt of that job disturbed her more than the suicide and there was more to evict. She wondered into a temple of some religion and was thinking. She was sick of seeing the sick and poor. This was also part of her past as an orphan unable to have others understand what she was saying. Her past was one thing she wanted buried as it was a hard life with rogues guiding her. Thugs taught her how to steal and cheat and used her. In small towns and villages her only gift from her father; was a silver tongue deal making of a snake oil salesman. She needed cash and came to the casino for more work. Entertain a regular was easy for her as spinning stories was fast. Cataria was walking around with Gardevoir and telling the tale of her wedding party. The Gardevoir asked some things to Cataria about her body shape and her past. The Gardevoir asked Cataria, "What is that in your bandana?" Cataria replied, "My betrothal bandana? Oh, that is a bank credit chip it was given as a wedding gift. It is not much but only a few banks accept them. The tradition of this form a currency is long and often used with the wealthy. Not like you but, they have billions or trillions in bullion and could buy this casino with one trip and not be broke. I met a few and they use bullion because it is easier to count and keep track of." The gardevoir was somewhat intrigued as Cataria notice a group of four pokémon giving paw signals to each other that she figured out quickly. Cataria said, "Miss, I have to get security for a moment. I see some old paw signs that are not good." Cataria ran to see Miracle at the risk room and things were not that scary for her. There was a few beating of looser and Miracle was running the show and not Rasputin. The Bisharp that was the head of security was looking around and Cataria figured out something. She ran to look and noticed he was giving the orders to the others in the cheating ring. She ran to Royce and asked him, "Do you know how to spot cheaters?" He replied, "They act nervous and are easy to catch. Why do you ask?" She sounded grave and said, "Your current head of security is a ringleader of a cheating group. He was giving orders and three were replying back. I think the fourth noticed me and recognized me from my past. I am not of noble birth but married into it. I was just a pup with a recently dead father, no mother; starving. Some thugs or the mob took me in for a month and I learned how to catch cheaters in their illegal gambling ring. They did not kick you out if you ran out of money or owed them. They broke the individual's legs, harmed them, or killed them if they did not pay them back. I did not know modern Taolish well at the time. It is a second language to me; I am getting better at it." Royce was acting shocked, "I though he was incompetent, not a cheater? Where is your logic?" Royce did not believe her that much. "Simple, he catches the bad one's and gets the credit. Then, you learn to trust him and he keeps the good cheaters. He gets a cut of the earning and keeps it under a false name in a bank or his home. That is how I learned to catch them, by watching and seeing who is involved and not playing. Take out the king and the persuade them to talk and you lose five cheaters all at once." Cataria said to Royce. He gave it a thought and said to her, "If your logic is sound I need more proof. Catch him in the act. Also, your partner is making the risk room dangerous. Please get him out of there before they accept a bet that kills the patrons." She took his advice and left with her husband for security work transporting cash. Miracle was not as strong as she was but, more perceptive to what was coming. After the first trip she felt a hit to her side. A thug noticed her and knew her. They said, "New life then my enforcer?" Her reply was, "I do not know you anymore as you took my father away from me. Thank you for that? Next time I should kill you if we meet again. I know your faces and names so, stay away or the gallows for you." She left with the cash guarded and collapsed outside. She was sleep deprived and was rushed to the luxray's home. In her passed out mind she was in a hut and it was cramped as a female ninetales was glowing unusually bright. "My dear child, you are exhausted and in your condition?" The ninetales spoke. Cataria was bewildered and asked, "Where am I, and who are you? What condition are you talking about?" The ninetales spoke, "Theodora and I granted your most desired wish but only once will you be a mother. Soon a choice will be made and it will decide the fate of many." The place flashed and they were at the casino's bar. It was empty and one other was there. It was Miracle, her husband and he had two shadows. "Goddess of knowledge, life; alcohol please forgive my intrusion and what do you mean a mother only once? I am unable to lay eggs." Cataria asked Theodora. "Oh? I thought you knew. Once a very long time ago a few females did not lay eggs except dragons and flying types. They were nearly gone on this end of Tao for a reason. They died out and you are the only one for now. Do you know the truth on your birthplace?" Theodora asked. Cataria replied in confusion, "I have no idea at all? There are so many stories I have heard I do not know the truth." A flash and the two were in a white desert full of bones and pokémon crying over a body. A large metal ring held tags and it was half full. One fraxure took a tag from the body as the others wept. Theodora spoke, "This is your first visual memory and you were born on the reaper road. The quilava there is your mother and you are two weeks old. She is sad because you are venerable and have a good chance of dying. There is no food or water so, they drink the blood and eat the body to survive the trip. The eggs cooked in the sun and in the night. Females that did not lay eggs have an advantage in this environment as eggs crack and pups do not. I answered your prayers and you are going to be with child. I think you should not drink alcohol for a few months. Anyway, you are dreaming and your father lied to you for one reason. He lost your mother and had to eat her soon after you were starting to eat solid food. He kept that tag close to him at all times and never forgot." Cataria asked, "What test and what do you mean I am going to be with a child? Pokémon lay eggs as far as I know." Theodora changed tone and said in a disturbing tone, "You will pick your husband or the child. If you pick your husband, the child will be dead and, if you kill your husband your child will live. I granted your wish but I can take it back anytime I please. I am letting you have one child that you made. Do not screw this up and as you only get your husband or your child not both. Also, if he is killed and you did not do it, You lose both him and the child." "Why are you giving me this impossible choice?! You are the goddess that gives life and is love by all! How can you do this?!" Cataria pleaded. "Silence child, or I will take your child now! No one ever gets what they want without someone that suffers because of it. A mother steals food to feed her children on the streets. She makes it and only to see her children have died or is too weak to chew the food. The law is on her tail and she must make a choice. Feed her children and serve time or run and let them die? If she feeds the children, she spends time as prison work detail and never sees her child or even knowing if they are alive at all. If she runs, the children will starve and die. Ether one will hurt as the theft of a loaf of bread causes others to suffer. The baker cannot pay for the grain and flower to bake the bread and his family starves." Cataria woke up with a wet towel on her head and in bed. Miracle was scared that she was sick. Cataria just slept and needed time to recover, Miracle did not want to leave but he involuntarily volunteered to help with the rebuilding of the slums. He was wary of job accidents as a lot of building were not built right at all. He wanted to be a stone mason when he was older but, the forced marriage changed that severely. He was digging ditches for water and sewer lines into the area. From his travels he noticed a technological imbalance in the area. There are of tech and industrial were close to the agricultural and iron age towns. There was nothing that was consistent. He came home to the luxray's home with four days left to stay. Cataria was crying and he was scared. She was pacing at the door and it looked like for hours. "Please Miracle, I have something to tell you. The goddess Theodora has granted me a child but at a cost. I am going to be a mother because she let me be one only once." Cataria said to him. "Wait, what! You are barren! How then are you to have a child?!" Miracle asked her. She replied, "I have no idea but, a test of the soul is to done if I am to keep this child." She was confused as well. The luxray was a bit out of his mind and Miracle recognized it. "We might have longer to stay here than we think, I met a female that had Alzheimer's and she had no memory. He could turn on us to, so be carful around him please." Miracle told Cataria. The two slept well that night not knowing what would happen. Theodora came to Cataria in her dreams again. Theodora said, "My devout follower, what seems to be the problem and do not bow before me like all the other desperate females." Cataria asked the goddess, "Will I lay an egg or will I get bigger?" "Funny question but, you might lay a leathery egg since I was bored and played with your genetics a bit. It is lonely at the top and I felt guilty for some strange reason. I keep wondering why no one really warships me here? A grant life and wisdom." Theodora asked Cataria. Cataria replied, "I think they do not believe in you like I do. I want a child but, failed to lay a single egg. I feel sick and what is wrong with me?" Theodora left with one statement, "You have my gift and use it wisely!" Cataria woke up and came up with a plan to get the ringleader to confess to the cheating ring. It was early morning when she told the bisharp that was the head of security. Royce was nearby when she asked them, "I use to work in a high risk gambling hall and I know you are the ring leader of the cheaters. So, I want hush money to feed my children. I think 30 percent is a cut of your earning?" They replied, "No deal and I can get you kicked out fast." She knew he was going to say that and said a lie, "I know where the real tokens are and I will show Royce if you do not. I have faces and now names, are you in the organized crime around here?" She had him angry and he said to her, "I should kill you for finding out that I am the provider of the fake tokens and leading the cheaters here. Keep your mouth shut and you will live." Cataria said one thing and smirked, "Look behind you first?" They did to see Royce furious and creating a scene. Royce yelled, "You're a con artist and you are fired and so are your cohorts and you banned from my Casino! Cataria where are the real chips!" She replied carefully, "I lied as part of my end of the plan but, I can guess the floorboards of security office or his home. He leaves to go to his home six times a day with a nervous walking stance. To catch a cheater you must know who to cheat or see it a lot. If you do not believe me, I know some good mobsters around here that are cheap to extract information. Maybe, melting the arms for a start?" She whispered to Royce. The rest of security took the former head and the group that Cataria pointed out for questioning in the back rooms. Cataria heard a machine that challenged her a bit for a slot machine. She ignored it as she missed her husband a lot. A few days past and she was still in the luxray's house. He had lost his mind a bit and Miracle was taking care of him. Cataria found a way to make money fast. She had her past caretakers pay what they owed her. It was a lot and she felt safe enough to sleep for now. Theodora kept entering her dreams until on rest and Cataria was tired of this. "Theodora why me and leave me alone of one rest!" Cataria complained to the god. "I see so; you want the whole truth why I keep bothering you all the time then? You have me to thank for your chance to have a child. I picked you for one purpose, time and I am sick of the realm of the dead. I miss my friends that have returned to the living through reincarnation. I am sick of prayers and offering to me over nothing. Arceus does nothing and so do the others. The one's imprisoned in the timeless place can do nothing. My, My friends and lovers left me because they were tired of the afterlife. I was stuck, alone and I needed a way to escape and you were perfect to the job. I am stuck inside you and I am bored. That is the truth and your test is not governed by me. I can tell you there are four answers and one is the right one. I really do not care for my name anymore so, name me what you like but, I will have no memory of me until I die. Also, you will forget everything I told you." Theodora said and let Cataria sleep for now. The two left in the morning to return home and there was a surprise for Cataria and Miracle, a letter and an egg for Cataria. Polly (His other wife) looked at them and said, "I thought you did not lay eggs but this one says you are the mother? I want an expansion and Miracle did you cheat on us!" Miracle stayed quiet as Cataria said, "The gods gave me this as a gift and I know you do not believe me but it is true. Just give me the letter and I can find out." Cataria said, "This note is for me but, it is not my egg. It states that 'Please Lady Cataria, you're of wealth and I am not. Please take this future child and raise it as your own. I cannot afford to raise it.' They are poor at writing in old Taolish so, they think I can raise it? Unfortunately, we cannot right now. We are poor and Drake is letting you stay here until he gets a granddaughter. What can we do?" Polly was about to cook the egg when Cataria had a change of heart, "Stop Polly! I want the egg. I can't have children of my own and it may not be blood but, I want to hatch one child that calls me 'mador' or mom. Please just once and I forget the name of the father of the other two." Polly sighed and said, "Deal." With that Cataria rolled the egg into a nest and tried to feel it. She knew it would take a month and left it in an incubator for the short return trip to Alomomola Bay. Dropping off most of the earned cash the team of Miracle and Cataria left as Polly was cooking for three sons of her own. She had an affair with the male lover of her female lover by accident and kept her mouth shut. Two of his sons were not his but a sandile father. Cataria knew and kept the information as ammunition against Polly. Back in Alomomola bay, Polly was angry at a slot machine as it insulted her. She was angry and looked at it. She said to it, "If you sounded sexier you would get more attention? So, tell me why you are so belligerent?" The machine replied, "It is fun." Cataria got Miracle and the two tried to straighten out the machine. It failed until Miracle had an idea. He said, "Let's put you in the risk room and pull you apart?" Cataria interjected, "No, I want some relaxation for a little while and I need a rest. A day at the beach would be nice." Miracle was quiet and said, "Fine but, no hurting me and I found your letter to yourself." Cataria asked him, "What letter? Let me read it." The letter said, "If you are reading this that means you have forgotten and this is important. Theodora: the goddess of life, knowledge; alcohol has granted me a child. My father lied to me. You were born on the reaper road and our mother died when we were about two, three weeks' old. They had to eat the others that died on the trip to survive. Now if you want proof that I am you? The mobsters or thugs that raised use for a few weeks are here and they raised us after they beat our father to death for failing to pay back his debt to them. They left you on the streets for two weeks and decided to take you in as the boss felt guilty about you in the cold winter." Cataria was stunned and said, "I wrote this to myself? Why would I do that husband?" Miracle said to her, "I have no idea but you said to give it to you if you forgot." The two spent the day at the beach and soon a massager from Royce came for them. They were summoned for one more task for them and a parting gift.

Royce said to them, "You know the Qwilfish patrol is to be fired and I would like you to do that. The other thing is your reward for doing several jobs. You pick one of four items." The two looked at the items, The playing cards were useless to Miracle and Cataria refused to use them. The promissary note had some usefulness to them. The schemers ring was no use as either had now apposable paws. The final, was an saints scroll was intriguing to Cataria. Cataria and Miracle discuses this in private, "The job is not to my liking Miracle, I cannot swim and nether can you. The promissary note might come to be useful one day but that scroll is not a holly book but a comedy of the real book of the three gods of west Tao. Your call but, the ring and cards are useless to us." Cataria said to him. Miracle pondered it over and said, "I am sorry but, we cannot do the job as nether of us can swim. The scroll is the best option we have as the note has bad blood with my wife and the others items are useless to us. All we have for money was a wedding fit of a credit chip of fifty coins. That is all." "The credit chip of fifty coins is more than enough money as those are for gold coins valued at about $200.00 per coin. Whoever gave you that is rich and you should keep it for backup. Why can't you swim?" Royce said to them. Cataria said to Royce, "We never had a chance to learn. This arranged marriage changed out lives and we never had the time for a proper honeymoon or to relax a lot. It was growing food or starve to death and I never want to feel that hungry ever again." With that, the two left for home and Cataria tried to live one wish the best she could. She did not believe the letter to herself just yet.
