[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Nathan reads that message written on the pages.  Looks at it for a good, loooonnnnggg few minutes...

...then sighs.

"...one battle won't change the outcome of the war.  Sarimanok went on to conquer almost all of Creshire, and there's not really anything we could have done to change that.  Better just to avoid stuff like that in my opinion.  We ever catch the King's attention, good or bad, I doubt it will end well for us." (...)

Shiva would strongly disagree to these words of 'just avoiding' stuff like that, but she does not dare to voice what she's only thinking - partly because this is definitely not the place nor time to discuss opinions and intentions; partly because she is, thanks to all the quarrels with Nathan she helped Ventus through, painfully aware how little sense there was to try making him see her viewpoint. Means, she'll simply listen to Nathan saying that while giving him a stoic and unreadable expression, once he's done she lowers her head a little to muster some incredibly interesting patch of snow right beside her. Cottonee, her ever-supportive fluffball, chirped quietly and cuddled up closer to into her sweet Master's lap.

She does not want to change the outcome of the war - that'd be a noble, heroic, benelovent yet very naive hope, and Shiva knows this. If she'd only could, she'd very likely even do, but regardless how she'd turn things in her mind there's nothing to be done about it. No, she... She simply wished for the tribe of the Western Plains, for that one female soldier she faced in a bold duel, to know that their resistance is never wasted effort. How she has taken these words she can only guess, but only when she delivered her message she claimed herself as the winner of that duel.


She is aware of everything Nathan states about that particular Rapidash from her own interactions with him and having sensed things, she solely nods once to him voicing these things. However, his help on this stallion was appreciated and thankfully accepted, it was a calm and serene feeling to just sit here in the warmth of the horse, stroking his strong neck and forehead and feeding it hay with Nathan. Aww!~

What she also rather clearly picks up is that he does know more about these curious threads of light, her neutral sideways glance on him lasting for long seconds seems to clearly say 'Can't really hide anything from me'. She does not appear mad or anthing, not in the slightest, though she has perked up in wondering and mildly confused curiosity. "So...? And, can you... I mean, you have any idea where these threads came from? Please, if you do, tell us... Me and maybe Heart/@Spiritmon as well would appeciate to know if you are fine with telling us what you think. You know, Nathan, I sensed his and your presence alongside seeing these threads before my inner eye, but weirdly not Terra's or Spira's."

Heart was for a while sitting in the ground, gazing in the sky, until Shiva say something about them see threads or something like that. "To be honest Shiva...I dont know how me and Nathan was able to see those threads. Perhaps it is something about thing about us become more than humans. But if thats the case, you should be able to in see that. Maybe it is because of the blood of my family, the ArcHearts who was once blessed by Arceus itself...since we are going to stay here for a while I guess it could be a good moment to talk some story."

Heart than takes some time to tell Shiva and Terra some of the story (Who can be find here and here to let things be more quick).

"It might be one of the reasons why I was able in see the threads. And to me have the Soldier Bloodline within me who make me have conections with ghosts...even after three thousand years, the blood of Ark still flow inse of me." Heart did not tell Shiva or anyone about the final fate of his family...maybe because its not the right time in bring such sad story to such already depressing situation.

Heart put out his amulet with the emblem of his family who once meet before. "This amulet symbolizes the creation trio: Palkia, Dialga and Giratina, who you people once meet in triangle form before. But this one in particular is diferent. Ever wonder why the name of my family is ArcHeart?"

ArcHeart Symbol

"Because of that position of the three: The three forms the balance of the world as Time, Space and Reality. And Arceus itself it the literally god of all creation. Literally the "heart" of creation. Thats the mean and origin of my name. Ark name also comes from Arkeus, or Arceus. And Ark was the woman who create my clan. The position of that legendary resemble a bit a true heart."

Heart than put a end to his explanation to let the others digest that piece of revelation. They are problably in shock or perhaps annoyed. Its all depends with them now.
