[Uxie was a patient creature. He had taken a five-week course in Mu training honed his mind to tune out pain, to spam Endure hold fast until his body's natural processes made the aches and agonies recede. He was grateful to Dana for her intervention; there was absolutely nowhere else he would have rather been than safely tucked away from the world

The all too familiar clicks of the small metallic hooves of Arceus echoed in the darkened corridors. Someone was looking for him and Uxie probably knew why she was.

[betterthanawiki]

Uxie was, in fact, all too aware of the reason Arceus was seeking him out. To remain in hiding would have been a futile exercise: he knew that as well. Tottering back onto his feet, he moved to the center of the hallway and sat down once again, awaiting her with his small hands folded in his lap.

In a way, that may have worked in Uxie's favour. Certainly, a ten-foot beast was intimidating, especially when you were as small as Uxie, and many would have been cowed by such a majestic creature standing over them.

Uxie, however, had known Arceus the Original One far before he'd known Bob the human. This was a rare glimpse of -- though he would never use the term himself -- mother, as he knew her. The same one who would scold a far-younger pixie for far more benign childish mischief, for letting his curiosity get him into things he oughtn't. For a brief, flickering instant, there was the desire to set his dignity aside, to reach up to mother and beg to be forgiven and cry about how much he was hurting

[rockinthrutime]

And so many hurt in the process! I hope you remember what happened when one of you meddled to much with human affairs. She was talking about Giratina of course, tossed from this dimension right into another for trying to kill and murder too many humans.

I can understand the fundamental purpose of your act, but causing them fear and panic is hardly a way to show them the error of their ways or to judge them. Arceus sighed, and her head grabbed the tiny sprite by the back of a neck what little he had, much like a mother cat with her kittens, moving as they talked.

What will you do now? You answer depending on how she would react, Uxie, so start talking.

Uxie had no intention of allowing himself to be swayed by threats of banishment. He was, after all, being of knowledge: not an individual entity, but one third of something greater. To take him away from this world would be to disturb the balance, to eliminate the one safeguard against Dana or Palkia growing out of control.

Think of it as a firebreak, Original One. Although I bring harm, the small, controlled destruction keeps everything from being consumed in the approaching wildfire. It was very hard to preserve one's dignity when one was being carried about like an animal, admittedly, but Uxie certainly intended to do his best. As for what happens next... that is in the hands of the humans. If there are those who will not be blinded by hateful things, if there are those who will not be swayed from their pursuit of the truth... then, Original One, I intend to be caught.

Then perhaps I will learn what it is like to die.

A vague, unconcerned smile crept across Uxie's face, though he knew Arceus wouldn't be able to see it past the solid yellow crest covering the back of his head. The members of this school will allow their brute impulses to overwhelm their reason. They'll perpetuate the same hatred that repulsed them. Their hands will be stained. They will have learned nothing. A very sad outcome, don't you think?

[betterthanawiki]

You underestimate me, Original One! Naturally, I am prepared for whatever may happen. Do you really think the being of knowledge would act without regard to the consequences?

Perhaps things will end that tragically, but perhaps our beloved humans are worth a little more than that, hm? Perhaps they will have learned that violence merely begets violence, and perhaps they will extend the hand of forgiveness.

Tell me, Original One... what do you think of humans? Are they kind, or are they dangerous creatures?
