Original Post

Dizzy is in the Library with Valder and Ventus.

As you climb the Cottonwood, you find your body light enough or ethereal enough to ascend effortlessly even among the thick twigs or sparse branches. So many of the hidden places in this swamp contain Pokemon, and a normal human might never notice. A Caterpie in a hollow, a Scatterbug in the midst of cocooning itself, a Bronzor buried deep within the heartwood.

Even Kirlia must not notice all these tiny, barely-emotional beings hidden everywhere.

In a single moment, you explore the dazzling undersides of gray boulders, the shed skins of Bug Pokemon and reptile Pokemon, and the cottonwood roots sinking into peat where amphibians and rodents burrow or hibernate. The forest is complete, from its toes to its head, and that means it's stocked to the brim with life and mineral.


"I visit all my shrines on occasion. But I rarely reveal myself to humans unless I have reason to. Too often it leads to conflict of one kind or another."

"Aw, my Egg! There is actually an Egg of mine somewhere within the Secret Library, borne when we founded this place. If you happen upon, ply it with kisses and clear any debris. Dust it off, and make sure to turn it so it can rest in a different position for a few hundred years. I don't know where the Librarian has placed it, but I'm sure it's kept safe."

Aww! Seeing that it turned out so easy to climb the mighty Cottonwood filled Shiva with more joy and more vigor. Barely has she expected it to be so easy, this must be another effect of the vision. Or the trip. She ended up climbing as far up as she could go, the whole 40 feet until she could view the whole region from her position - she'll remain there until the travel by the Gauntlet/Celebi ends, simply enjoying this magnificient view. With interest she also stopped at the cocooning Scatterbug, watching its antics for a little - there was probably no time to see what pattern its wings will ahve when it leaves this cocoon again on a glory day.

The sight of the underground for a moment, a sight that is usually hidden for the human eyes, awed her much! May all the insectoid and hibernating mammalian Pokemon spend a concealed and fruitful life beneath the surface. Haha, but they were probably not that deep underground as Shiva was before they all came to the Relic Stone!~ Or were they?

"So........" Shiva started with an expression of pure positive astonishment while not taking her gaze from precious Celebi, "....the Egg.... It's true, and it contains one of your kind? Mythica.... *cough* legendary Pokemon from an egg.... Now it makes sense to me why it is never found. Another Celebi, oh how the world would react.... I thank thee for that insight, graceful Celebi of Atheneum. And of course for your manifestation towards us... I hope to one day hear your voice again upon my further travel across the region. May we meet again, if not physically... I'll look forward to it."

She bows again to the Grass/Psychic Type, motioning Gothitelle to follow her example. "Ah, and of course I'll check on your Egg when I step through the door myself to enter the mythical place where knowledge dwells. But first..." She throws a curious glance over her shoulder to the deliberated shack which's time seemingly stands still. "But first I wish to approach this cabin that was formerly protected by the forcefield, if you allow such a thing that is. I won't enter with force - I'm just curious about it, and if given permission take some of the Apricorns from the trees obscuring it from view. Thank you again, and may we end up as guests that you can keep in mind with a smile on your face..."

Turning to Nathan/@Dragonstrike then, she lets a calm gaze rest on him and Kirlia for a few seconds. She's definitely not hysteric anymore, in fact she seems completely at peace with herself now. "Will you come as well, Nathan? You don't have to of course, but if you'd like to join... Then let us approach it together. Come, Lilith.... " *waving gestures to Gothy, and one for Celebi as well in the terms of goodbye*
