Original Post

"Please let me explain. Something, I was innocent what, has quietly tickled my senses as me and the others were on the way to Elanor. It was like...like something called for me, I might have imaginated but now I know that I didn't. Eggs of Noble Arcanine some of us do bear, in fact the precious and soft fae unicorn longed for you and this place - how could I not grant it its wish." All softly, Shiva places both the Minicorn and Flabebe Egg in front of herself into the grass, they're now between herself and the Guardian Mantis. "...They seem happy to dwell here, look." She smiles fondly towards both young Pokemon within the Eggs. Please tell me, is this what it looks to me like it is - Xerneas? ...The mystical and precious Tree of Life?"

"Our blessings are similar, but I hold only the merest fraction of Xerneas' power. Likewise, this tree is a mere tree, infused with some of my own blessing. It is called the Dragon Fig, and it is indeed a single organism. If your Egg wishes to stay here when it hatches, I will welcome it, for it does not contain a threat to our community. Indeed, Minicorn is an elusive and careful herbivore."

These two Eggs will hatch soon. You'll need to introduce them to this place and give them a sense of it as home, to fulfill your promise to Arcanine, but it would be OK if you bring them along on your journey until they reach maturity. Then they need to return here.

Oh... If the power of this Grassy Guardian is able to turn a mere tree into SUCH a precious tree, then Shiva's very impressed and enraptured by Their might, her gaze wanders beetween Them and the special Dragon Fig. "I see, thank you for explaining... Even if it was just an ordinary Dragon Fig before, it is a wonderful sight now... I love orchids, they're my favorite flowers. Allow me to ask, noble Primal Lurantis, will you let me pick an exemplar please? I will keep it alive and care for it, and it will always remind me - and Cottonee and Nightshade here - on you and this enrapturing place..."

Shiva grows very excited upon the realization that the given Eggs are soon to hatch into a smol unicorn and cute flower fairy, she smiles fondly to them - but there's a hint of bittersweetness within her expression. "I am very grateful that you welcome Minicorn and Flabebe in community and grant them your guard and blessing. But please..." She hesitates a bit before adressing the Primal mantis, "Allow me to spend a bit of time with them before it'll be goodbye, before I will have to leave their side in order for them to live in freedom and start a family, before the time has come to fulfil what I pledged for in front of Noble Arcanine. I WILL do so, I will keep my word, but yet I am not ready to part from these two special Pokemon - When they hatch they are very young, vulnerable, and I desire to share a bit of my love with them - so that both of us will keep one another in pleasant and warm memory, so that they'll remember me fondly shall we meet again. I wish to...see them grow a bit, become a bit stronger and capable to defend themselves, this is needed in order to survive in the wilderness. After they have hatched however and as soon as I can, I will stop by here to introduce them to this elusive grove, please grant me access then, Noble Primal Lurantis."

Carefully, Shiva then strokes both the Flabebe and Minicorn Egg, she feels very vividly how delightfully the young ones appear. "...They seem happy, they seem to enjoy this place. How could I not let them call this place 'home' then when the time has come..." It is true that parting ways with both will hurt Shiva, but she'll be strong and get by. She just WILL. She also hopes that she'll be allowed to visit every now and then...

"Since these two fosterlings of mine will be eventually given into your community, Noble Primal Lurantis... Please, let me ask how this grove is protected from 'ordinary' humans, from Trainers and their Pokeballs wishing to be used? It is close a Route and Elanor is not far away from here. How comes you're able to...hide away so well from people?" That's something Shiva's honestly curious about, and it also is a valid question in order to protect Flabebe and Mincorn from harm so that they have the time and peace to build up a small population again.
