《For Queen and Country [An Interactive Novel]》For Country

Elaine
It’s been five hundred years since the unified nations denounced superstition. In this age of reason, Elaine, the recent Queen of Vallis, has become the most celebrated ruler. So beloved by her people to be dubbed the ‘Millenium Queen’, the ‘Sun Queen’.
Diane
It is this love that makes it all the more unfortunate that she has met an untimely demise. To her only daughter, Crown Princess Diane, she leaves behind a kingdom in mourning. And though the rising sun dries her subjects’ tears, a growing shadow still lurks behind them.
You
It is up to Diane to protect her people from this looming threat. It is up to you to decide how she does so.
For Country
My mother was chosen.
I’m sure if I said that our subjects would agree. They’ve always had such a romanticized vision of her. She was the Sun Queen. The Millennium Queen. A daughter of the sun born to herald dawn and bring an end to Vallis’s darkest time.
Five hundred years into the Age of Reason, and yet the people still make legends. I suppose the entertainment is too much for the masses to resist. I wonder if the story would change if they’d seen how she’d act towards me.
Putting aggrandizement aside, as a queen, my mother was worthy of praise. She was a reformer, a ruler who brought Vallis towards tomorrow when it was most broken. The sun’s light upon the valley that I strove to reflect. And though that light shone coldly upon this ‘Maiden of the Moon’, I still longed for its warmth.
But now that longing will never be fulfilled. I inherited her talent and worked hard to make best use of it and for my achievements, all who have known me have given recognition with the exception of her. That now permanent failure is disappointing, but a child’s dream dead with the mother isn’t the most pressing issue at the moment.

“Your Highness?” Eliza freed me from my trance. She had accompanied me atop the old castle’s walls so I could watch the funeral procession return to the valley below. But before I had even realized, the procession’s carriages had already grown small in the distance. Well, coming to watch them was just to distract myself anyway.
“What is it, Eliza?”
She pulled out the letter included in my mother’s will. “Perhaps you should read your mother’s letter.”
I stayed facing the valley. “I’ll save it for later.” A letter consisting of instructions could be left to wait and considering this was my mother, that’s likely all it was.
Eliza tucked away the letter. “Then what will you do now?”
“I’m not sure.” I said. I hadn’t been sure since first hearing of Mother’s death. Talk of me taking the throne shouldn’t have started until I was as old as Mother is—was—now. Yet here I stood, fifteen, just of age, and soon to be Queen of Vallis. What a mess.
My eyes shifted from the procession onto Vallisia. The last time I gazed upon the twin halves of the capital from these walls had been ages ago. With an overcast covering the valley, the capital was covered in grey. The warm light that had shined upon it was gone. But there it still stood, beautiful as I had remembered it.
I had to protect it. With all the uncertainty of tomorrow and what after, at least I could be certain of that.

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.
