[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Nathan falls asleep. His last memory is Kirlia clutching the Clamperl pearl and humming in a soft, sleepy voice.

When he wakes up, he is in an obsidian cage, Kirlia beside him, sound asleep. As previously described, this cage can be latched from the inside or outside, and has a glowing red crystal on the roof. The blankets are gone.

There's no sign of Shiva, but there are some other cages nearby, including one full of broken glass with a blue crystal on it.

Looking out by the light of the crystal, a jolt of familiarity runs through Nathan. He recognizes this landscape from the one Kirlia showed him at Murkrow Cove! Then he is startled again as he hears human shouting, growling, and the sounds of combat, some ways away (Nathan is a significant run distance from Ventus still, not far behind him in time).
