"How should I, why would I know the answer to that? I'm saying you'd need, you'd have to have the uh, the Pokemon Sarimanok used to lock his palace. Royalty, Knighthood, Kingdom - He had three, they say, plus the Eye. And She's down there already, so she doesn't count. They're saying this Ghost trainer knows a bit about that, right? That's what Mismagius told me. Um, I've heard the Kingdom key, that Pokemon, lives in a mountain high above us."

"I don't even know what a helm is." After this is explained, he still hasn't heard anything about it, but promises to keep an eye out if he's ever back.

"...yeah, I know which pokemon you're talking about when you're referring to the Kingdom key.  And that partially answers my question, I guess, so thanks."

Speaking of that species, that reminds me...haven't checked on the Dratini egg OOC in awhile.  Still doing fine, I presume?  JUst takes awhile to hatch, yeah?

"...this...Eye, though.  What else do you know about them?  Anything you could tell us would be helpful."

Nathan also gives Spira a sideways, confused glance, but keeps the majority of his attention on Sneasel for now.

Spira perks up when the Sneasel mentions the Mismagius. He's gonna be paying extra close attention to make sure the Sneasel doesn't blab anything unnecessary now.

"Her very presence in the world is the source of our, is why we have the urge to battle. When you lock eyes with a Pokemon and you want to fight it? That's the Eye. That's Her. Down here it's pretty much, you'll never resist it. It's impossible."

He's about to say more when he catches Spira's eye and tilts his head at the man.

AH!! If there's a presence down here that's strong/stronger than usual, Shiva, Lilith and possibly Primal Espeon should be able to sense it, although she has barely an idea what Sneasel's talking about. Does she?

Hmmmmmmm...

"...do you know if she had something to do with the vines that recently attacked the surface?  Do you know what she is?  Like I said, ANYTHING you can tell us would be helpful."

Nathan's being persistent about asking these questions.  Spira, Terra, and Heart might not necessarily know why, but Shiva should.

The Eye.  If it's the one from the prophecies, they're probably going to need every scrap of information they can get...

With a little introspection, you realize that a feeling that's been present all your life, and got stronger in Creshire, is now much stronger than ever before. But it grew so subtly you never noticed. It's part of that urge you have to battle, to be better than you were before, to prove your worth as a hero of any kind. Or even just to succeed in competition.


"I wouldn't think vines would be Her style. She's supposed to be dormant. Sleepin'. Mostly she just, er, she's just, well, she affects emotions, is what I'll say. Makes everyone work harder at whatever it is they're passionate about. It's been worse than usual, lately, so I hope no one is thinking about doing anything especially dramatic. It'd be, you know, amplified. The bigger the bigger."

"...dramatic has been exactly what's been happening on the surface lately, unfortunately.  And things that have been sleeping down here have been woken up recently as a result.  Stuff's honestly been getting a little out of hand lately."

Emotions, huh?  Hmmmm...

"...when exactly did this...amplification of emotion start to get stronger?"

"Gradually. She went to sleep when Sarimanok died. I was born twenty years ago and it's gotten stronger since then."

"I'm sorry to hear about the, that the surface will probably soon be just as much a ruins as this place. I'd have liked to see it."

She's mostly just listening, watching the scene, letting the others talk and stuff, as well as actually concentrating on that....'presence' now. And when she gets it, it causes Shiva to go Σ(°ロ°) very vividly and audibly, resulting in Azu screeching at her in startle. It's true that this particular feeling is one she barely had at home has grown stronger in Chreshire, it's so damn true, it was and still is a fierce rollercoaster ride. She manages to satisfy and live out this particular feeling though via some victories battlewise, even if more subliminlally than actively, aka she only felt the satisfaction after said victory.

All that talking and especially mentioning The Eye in that context however causes another frantic reaction as somethingelse clicks in her mind, she ends up hiding behind the Shield once more and refuses to answer any questions. She's just scared, scared massively, and needs to gather herself again. That freakin' Eye, those huge and strong wild Pokemon, this makes too much sense to be not connected, and she's positive that Lilith will agree upon asked.

"As in, immediately after?  Do you know?"

This is sounding suspiciously familiar...

"Not if we have anything to say about it.  If you want to come and see the surface, we'll make sure there'll be something for you to see.  That's why we're here for the sword and the helm, among other things.  And why we'll probably be coming back down here at some point to fix whatever other wrongs need to be righted."
