Whooooooaaaaawwww, SCARY. Σ(°△°|||)︴

It's absolutely needless to say how HORRIFIED, TERRIFIED, DISTURBED and FEARFUL Shiva is once she realized that these Trevenant have put a freaking CUUUURSE onto her and dear Chi, t-that's.... That's just beyooooond mean! {{ (>_<; ) }} It GROSSES her OUT to even look at her hands wilting like that, but unfortunately this nightmare fuel of an image is buuurned into her mind.

Shiva definitely does NOT want to become a guardian of that burnt grove, especially not since it seems to have been made a burnt grove in the first place by... Scimitars?? W-what other reason could there be for A GAUNTLET being shattered and halfly overgrown...? "C-come on Chi my dear, we... We gotta go, we can't slow down, we MUST NOT slow down, n-no! You too, dear lil' Treecko... I've got to find a way to lessen or lift this curse, THEN we can continue following the sacred pattern alright? I'm so sorry for that...inconvenience..."

I wouldn't have put a Forest's Curse on Shiva without thinking about how to deal with that: I see several approaches, described in the following.

- First of all, naturally Shiva and Chi will NOT slow down if that gives the tiny tiny roots more time to bury themselves into the ground and ingrain them on the spot. That, and she puts all of her determination and inner strength to KEEP her hands held up as best as possible; I gladly spend 1 Will Point on that.

- Walking Limping onwards to seek help isn't really an option, but luckily there's still Raphael up the the sky, having kept his assigned guardian position loyally and eagerly!~ He managed to pick us that something with the sensitive fae-enthusiast was not right and glided down to greet and chirp encouragingly at her. Shiva's hesitant to pet the dear archangel but can still give him a sweet smile. "Oh, please don't... worry too much over us, Raphael... We'll be fine. We... Yes we WILL be fine indeed!! Come on, we need to get help...!"

It should still be possible for Raphael to pick Shiva and Chi up and FLY them away to find help, shall it? Please don't tell me that these tiny roots are still trying to ingrain into the ground while being mid-air...

Places Shiva will seek help at

- Elanor itself, more specifically Howl. He's the one she asked about the Sacred Grove, he may know about a burnt grove and the Trevenant residing there, at best he had someone come to him being forestcursed already and knows what to do or where to go to lift the curse.

- Cress City, the original capital where traditions are strong. It's said in one of the very first posts of this thread that many medics and mediums(!) are here, so I'm having high hopes that there must be one that specializes in curses and how to lift them from unlucky people and Pokemon. The Violet Tent seems like the ideal place to find such a medium.

Alternative approach

- Call Heart immediately and desperately ask for his help, explaining the situation and hoping that he and his Earthpower Skills can lift or at least lessen this curse on her and her dear lil' Luxi.
