[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

With Ventus in addition to Yena and Dizzy by her side, Shiva felt a little more safe - or frankly, subtly 'better', although they were not sharing a word and he pulled away his hand when she casually stroked it. How long a mildly positive feeling does linger within her while being down this dark inner of Mount Sentry, only the stars far far above do know.


The mentioning of fresh air down and more plants down the tunnel however... This was something that did a fine job to avert Shiva'a attention from any issues in getting along with the lack of daylight, time and fresh food - since THAT was something she would imagine everywhere, but not here. The inner of Mount Sentry surely was full of wonders, that was clear to her by now, but... Either it's true, or she has gone completely mad already and her mind was playing massive tricks on her - probably the latter though, as when she too breathes in all fresh air she was able to get, Shiva felt her vigor returning, as if it was circulating from somewhere very deep with her.



However.... only at the sighting of that MYSTIC ICY CAVERN - no other words would Shiva use to describe this place - was enough to trigger her fascination to a level she might not have expected. Awe filled her, increasing respect for nature, thankfulness to being alive to spot such a wonder unfolding before her very eyes - this somewhat reminded her on the legendary Tree of Life, though from a different context. This had nothing to with graceful Xerneas, nor cute Shaymin. This here, was fern - 'The Central Fern' as Nathan translated. What a matching naming. This was a place of plants and Pokemon, are humans even allowed, she wondered? And more, would she be able to touch the fern at least once? Was she worthy to feel it's wonders with her own hand to make sure that this was not a lucid dream? Not even speaking of...obtaining a single leaf of this tree to add to her glass jar.... Something's very weird about this tree, and that fascinated her, allured her towards it, caught her as if it was calling her name. It 'knows' things. It watches her, stares through her. Even if she wanted, she felt like she could not hide from the mental eye of this tree. How.....scary, but wonderous.

It was cold. Very cold, but luckily Shiva had her Ranger's cloak to keep her warm. Looking around further, she promptly received the answer of humans being allowed here or not, as these WEAVILE arrived and demanded their attention. Guardians! Clearly Guardians, though something was different about them. Immediately, Yena growled deeply back at then, baring his teeth and flattening his body while SPREADING his Masquerain-like wings.

Shiva did nothing to stop him. For now. Weird Weavile, it was probably that pattern in their face that made them special.

In a low, quiet and awed voice, she spoke up to them - will they understand her? "Be greeted from the surface, elusive Weavile. We're coming from afar where the sky is blue and filled with clouds and a flame ball that we're calling the sun - we're not here to cause a ruccus. We mean no harm to this miraculous place you're living. We're passsing... And our way does lead us further down, beyond and deeper into Mount Sentry. If you...do not let us pass, we have to make you do so with our own Pokemon though."
