[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Hoopa simply chuckles in response to Platina's uncertainness.

"Oh, little birdy, you have no idea what I am truly capable of.  It isn't just the powers of Legendaries I can summon, but the Legends themselves as well!  Or I would be able to, if my powers hadn't been sealed by some meddlesome force.  Ooh, but I can feel it starting to come back now.  I'm this close to having a suitable portion of my power back to start performing great feats!  And the more power I regain, the more helpful I can be for your team.~  Win-win, right? You should remember that, because I guarantee that you'll want to call on my aid at some point.  I highly doubt that this'll be the last you see of Legendary pokemon.  Oh no, the adventure is just beginning!  Hehehehe.~"

After tatTornadus pulls themselves up enough to look at Platina directly.  He seems to be...puzzled.

"...after nearly blanketing this continent in an unending blizzard and threatening you and your friends, you choose to show me compassion?  Ha...haha...it's almost enough to make me laugh..."

He shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts.

"...I am fine now.  Weakened, but I will recover before long.  There are no more forces influencing my actions, whatever they may have been.  I am more concerned about another."

(...)
Hoopa floats over to interject.  "Well duuuuuhhhhh, of course the door's behind us now.  Didn't you hear me say we're in the Mirror World?  This is the domain of the Four Therians, the Seasonal Winds.  Everything here is reversed.  And very similar to my situation, the Therians' true powers are sealed here.  And as if that wasn't enough, we have one teensy little problem: we're stuck here.  Only the Therians are able to manipulate what comes and goes from their realm.  And I don't think Tornadus is any condition to send us back to the real world right now, sooooo..." 

The Genie of Portal's response doesn't alleviate her concerns in the slightest, but they are put to the side in favor of interest as They explain the full extent of their Powers and Authority.

"Truly? You are a Summoner of the Gods themselves? That is....certainly an amazing Authority to wield. *Mumbles* and bordering on the heretic and most dangerous *Mumbles* . *Coughs* Well, I am certainly glad my group has earnt Your Patronage and Guidance, oh Great God Summoner Hoopa. If nothing else I'll certainly endeavor in seeing Your return to full Ascendency - to serve the Divine is an honor, and holding their Favor most welcome."

Hoopa's warning about the group facing other Legends does cause her to stiffen, but she takes a deep breath and heaves a weary *Sigh* , a resolute and regal glare now taking firm hold.

"....So be it. Challenging the Gods is the height of heresy or hubris, but if it must be done....it must be done. On my Name, I shall not falter against Them again."

(...)

To the Winter Wind's disbelief filled query, she only had this to say:

"Yes. Prideful and intent as I am, compassion is a gift that should be given. Especially for those that deserve it, Tornadus. You were not in control of Yourself, nor were You in Your right mind. Whatever is to blame for robbing You of Your agency is where my scorn lie, not You."

His fretfulness earns a curious look from Platina, before a look of comprehension flashes across her face.

"What are you - oh! If You claimed Dominion of Winter, then that must mean their are three other Kin of yours - the Spring, Summer, and Fall! Which means if whatever happened to You....oh dear, I can see why You are so unbalanced now. *Firm Look, then a Nod* Very well then. We'll help You figure out the Fates of Your Kin. If They suffer from the Blight that gripped You, we shall fight to free Them of it as well. So I promise to You, oh Cold Therian Tornadous."

(...)

Twintale (eventually) gets a tired *sigh* from Platina, shaking her head at the dead end the group was now faced with.

"By the.....Gods, that is not a portent I wanted. Do you know anyone or anything that can lead to the Great Ice Dragon, though? I rather we not have to stumble blindly trying to find Them, or have to give up entirely seeking them out, Heaven forbid...."

The mischievous spirit's response was meet with the deepest *SIIIGH* yet from the shiny bird as she hung her head, a very much 'done' air beginning to grace her.

"Joy. Then we're stuck until Tornadus regains Their Strength and Vigor. *Perks Up* Unless....Oh Mighty and Mystical Hoopa, can't you use your Portals to get us out of here? You claim that you have regains a bit of your Full Authority - could You perhaps push Yourself to Your new Limits and free us all from this Place? Or better yet, take us to where Tornadus' Kin is at , if you could Divine a connection between Them we could follow? If they are suffering from the Blight like They, then we need to help them too."
