[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Shiva wasn't too suprised as Heart opened up about his psychic bird's prophecy; no, she was rather enthusiastic and curious about it. For a moment she looked between Heart and Xatu, then drew her starry-covered notebook from her stuff and asked Heart to repeat the prophecy once or twice for her to write it down. Roughly a minute she only stared at the words as the ink was still drying - then she smiled dearly to herself, sparkles ran over her irises for a moment. "The prophecy's of a Xatu appear to be more telling. 'Darkness shows the way to light', 'hero save', the entire last paragraph... It's not too hard to understand what it may mean!~ Everything points to the Ruins... Thank you for telling, Heart. Thank you too, Xatu." She closes her notebook and hugs it protectively.

As Heart's rage began to build up and boil at the sight of THEM on the Unfinished Card, Shiva was at first worried and almost scared, got ready to calm him down - but she quickly let go as he managed to control himself. She only listened in silence as he told his opinion about the Scim's motives, didn't respond to it herself: She herself wasn't too sure whether she'd agree. She doesn't seem to think that pitchblack about the Scimitars as Heart does, to a degree she even wanted to believe that they are 'only' trying to prevent that ominous disaster - they were just doing it their way. Either way, the traveling group and them are working against each other despite they MAY have the same goal - Shiva's feeling told her that it was only a matter of time until they'd clash. Only one of them could succeed. Only ONE of them could stand as the heros in the end, and the natural fae enthusiast was wishful to belong to those who will do so.

She's thankful as Heart took the role of updating the Cops about things, that wasn't really something she'd be up to do at the moment. She was more interested...in the Psychic Types... She DID hear as Heart spoke so openly about his families fate, but right here she had to hold back her tears of grief about that happening. She had to be strong now. She just HAD to.

(...) Heart then repeat the same profecy to Shiva. "We might need to return to Teazel Valley right away. Xatu is more stronger than before, and might teleport us two." (...)

Wither her gaze wandering over the scenery, the crowd and the houses, Shiva lets out an impercible sigh before quietly nodding to Heart about this suggestion. "You're probably right... The cops won't let us investigate ourselves for sure, and it would be better if we'd leave things to them for now. If anything will occur, we will know and notice - if we are indeed those chosen ones, we will definitely in some way." The weight in those last few words, it threathens to pull Shiva down, to squash her like a Caterpie in the beaks of a Pidgeot, but she managed to not let it win over her.

As they got ready to leave, Shiva continued. "Ah! But, if it's okay I'd prefer to teleport back to the valley with Helios here. *steps beside him and gently takes his hand* Every Pokemon's teleport is a bit different, and I'm used to his way - other ones tend to make me dizzy." She chuckles a bit in embarassment.

"And yes, we should indeed inform the others", Shiva coughs a bit, "ALL of them, we are one group, have you forgotten...? None gets left out. Not now though. Maybe not even right away, as I have unfortunately no real idea where they are dwelling. They shall hear about it as soon as possible... As soon as possible we should also get going, proceed our traveling. We shouldn't waste precious time, not now - we shouldn't rush either, however. But...", her face lights up a bit, "We could contact them asking when they'd be fine with traveling on! I mean... What keeps us from spending more time in the valley than necessary? I remember you... wanting a battle 'gainst me, though...?"

(...) Gothitelle is a little more forthcoming. She nods when you ask if it was the robed men, and she gives you a "maybe" wave when you ask if Keni is safe.

Shiva shares a serious look with Gothy, then averts her gaze again to stare at the robed figures on the card, her expression unreadable. "They... How far will they go? What is the prize they are willing to pay to succeed...? Lilith, dear one..." Shiva gently takes her hand to hold it in hers, to get a feeling of safety.

"Maybe, you say... I take that as neither him nor Nathan's uncle are in mortal danger at the moment. That's good to know indeed. Is there anythingelse that you'd like to tell me, anything more you'd like to add? We should leave and return to Teazel Valley, you see... We should soon travel on towards Elanor, would you agree?" Only if Lilith doesn't have anything notable to add Shiva is fine with teleporting back.
