Heart process what Nathan have say. Then he look again to Celebi then tremble. "Wha-taah!" He slip in his foot and hit the floor with strengh. "Forgive me for my disrespect might Time Travel!" Heart recover and kneel again. "I still in amaze after such journey so I couldnt reconize very well what I have see until now." Then Heart still kneel. Even be a PUNisher, Heart did not dare to make fun with a Legendary pokemon. Since his family respect all the Legendary.

Another chuckle from Kirlia.

"...you can stand now, Heart.  Celebi's already addressed that we don't need to be so formal with her.  Not while we're here, in her domain, anyways.  Just don't cause any trouble, obviously."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As stated previously, Nathan doesn't really have much more to say to/ask Celebi for now, so he'll head towards the shack with Kirlia and Solomon when Shiva heads there.  Very curious to see what Kirlia and Solomon find so interesting about it beyond the sense that there's power there...and definitely still interested in seeing if there are Apricorns for the taking on those bushes!

Dizzy is in the Library with Valder and Ventus.

As you climb the Cottonwood, you find your body light enough or ethereal enough to ascend effortlessly even among the thick twigs or sparse branches. So many of the hidden places in this swamp contain Pokemon, and a normal human might never notice. A Caterpie in a hollow, a Scatterbug in the midst of cocooning itself, a Bronzor buried deep within the heartwood.

Even Kirlia must not notice all these tiny, barely-emotional beings hidden everywhere.

In a single moment, you explore the dazzling undersides of gray boulders, the shed skins of Bug Pokemon and reptile Pokemon, and the cottonwood roots sinking into peat where amphibians and rodents burrow or hibernate. The forest is complete, from its toes to its head, and that means it's stocked to the brim with life and mineral.


"I visit all my shrines on occasion. But I rarely reveal myself to humans unless I have reason to. Too often it leads to conflict of one kind or another."

"Aw, my Egg! There is actually an Egg of mine somewhere within the Secret Library, borne when we founded this place. If you happen upon, ply it with kisses and clear any debris. Dust it off, and make sure to turn it so it can rest in a different position for a few hundred years. I don't know where the Librarian has placed it, but I'm sure it's kept safe."

Heart stand up again. "Thank you." Heart then begin to make some questions. "Celebi, if you dont mind can I ask you some questions. I have some with me and I would like some aswear."

Aww! Seeing that it turned out so easy to climb the mighty Cottonwood filled Shiva with more joy and more vigor. Barely has she expected it to be so easy, this must be another effect of the vision. Or the trip. She ended up climbing as far up as she could go, the whole 40 feet until she could view the whole region from her position - she'll remain there until the travel by the Gauntlet/Celebi ends, simply enjoying this magnificient view. With interest she also stopped at the cocooning Scatterbug, watching its antics for a little - there was probably no time to see what pattern its wings will ahve when it leaves this cocoon again on a glory day.

The sight of the underground for a moment, a sight that is usually hidden for the human eyes, awed her much! May all the insectoid and hibernating mammalian Pokemon spend a concealed and fruitful life beneath the surface. Haha, but they were probably not that deep underground as Shiva was before they all came to the Relic Stone!~ Or were they?


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"So........" Shiva started with an expression of pure positive astonishment while not taking her gaze from precious Celebi, "....the Egg.... It's true, and it contains one of your kind? Mythica.... *cough* legendary Pokemon from an egg.... Now it makes sense to me why it is never found. Another Celebi, oh how the world would react.... I thank thee for that insight, graceful Celebi of Atheneum. And of course for your manifestation towards us... I hope to one day hear your voice again upon my further travel across the region. May we meet again, if not physically... I'll look forward to it."

She bows again to the Grass/Psychic Type, motioning Gothitelle to follow her example. "Ah, and of course I'll check on your Egg when I step through the door myself to enter the mythical place where knowledge dwells. But first..." She throws a curious glance over her shoulder to the deliberated shack which's time seemingly stands still. "But first I wish to approach this cabin that was formerly protected by the forcefield, if you allow such a thing that is. I won't enter with force - I'm just curious about it, and if given permission take some of the Apricorns from the trees obscuring it from view. Thank you again, and may we end up as guests that you can keep in mind with a smile on your face..."

Turning to Nathan/@Dragonstrike then, she lets a calm gaze rest on him and Kirlia for a few seconds. She's definitely not hysteric anymore, in fact she seems completely at peace with herself now. "Will you come as well, Nathan? You don't have to of course, but if you'd like to join... Then let us approach it together. Come, Lilith.... " *waving gestures to Gothy, and one for Celebi as well in the terms of goodbye*

Valder will:
 - check out Tome Of Genealogy, hoping he's actually a noble.
 - Heal. For the relaxation
 - Check out an item from the relic library. Hoping for Wide Lens.
 - and, if any of the technical manuals offer something that doesn't require the ability to read, Valder will give it attention.

...These are kinda second priority, though.
 Valder's mainly looking for a specific book. He tells his boss to kindly look for a book named "the Croconawmicon"

@Lord Windos. <-- that isn't working, hope this'll do: LORD WINDOS

When his mercenary came up to him and requested his assistance looking for a book in particular, Ven couldn't help but raise his eyebrow at how 'uncanny' the title sounded, but never the less his expression smoothed out into a smile as he nodded his head. "Certainly, Valder. Let's go talk with that Slaking and see if they can't help us ascertain the location of this book you are looking for, or where we could find it if it turns out its not stocked by Antheneum. "

Order: Help Valder find that book, first by going to the Slaking and asking for their help on the merc's behalf! With a name like that and Vald's inability to read, though, I'm not to certain if that book will be of use to them or not.....

Valder thanks his boss. He's now very glad he has someone who could locate the book.

After having checked, I've concluded that I'd like to teach Icicle Crash and Fissure to Mamo, and Giga Drain to Haunter. (Giga Drain is available via Gengar, I thought it might make sense for it to count.)

Heart stand up again. "Thank you." Heart then begin to make some questions. "Celebi, if you dont mind can I ask you some questions. I have some with me and I would like some aswear."

"Ask away. This is a place of knowledge. I make no guarantees that I'll be able to answer, though. And I can only stay a very short time. I have things I must attend to, and appearing before humans is wearying."

You have to do it like this, @Nylon:

Code:

@"Lord Windos"

Alert check : (6)(4)(1)

Valder finds the Wide Lens folded away inside a thick dictionary of mathematical terms.
It looks like Valder can trace his ancestry to several nobles, including a pirate king in Creshire! If he can recognize names, this will be enough to Awaken the Blood. Otherwise he'll need help.

"The Croconawmicon? I know that book is somewhere here on our shelves, but I don't know exactly where. If you want me to find a specific book, that will count as your One Question for me. You're also free to seek it out. I think I might have seen it in a drawer somewhere, all chained up. I remember that the password for the chains is 'Mystic Water.'"

Turning to Nathan/@Dragonstrike then, she lets a calm gaze rest on him and Kirlia for a few seconds. She's definitely not hysteric anymore, in fact she seems completely at peace with herself now. "Will you come as well, Nathan? You don't have to of course, but if you'd like to join... Then let us approach it together. Come, Lilith.... " *waving gestures to Gothy, and one for Celebi as well in the terms of goodbye*

"...Kirlia and Solomon are interested in it, and I want to see if there's any spare apricorns over there, so yes, we're checking it out."

He looks at Celebi again before heading off to the shack.  "I'll see if I can't get Valder to come over here as well.  Got enough power and time to spare for him too?"

"The Gauntlet will give him the same gifts you were given. I'm afraid I cannot stay manifest for much longer, though. Even Ventus can receive the gift of becoming more than human, if he wishes, though he has forbidden us from speaking in his mind. And thus, we cannot reach him in good conscience."


You wander over to the shack on the lake. You find that time moves normally for you as you approach, though the shack's pieces never manage to fall.
The two bushes screening the shack on the lake are strange. Though they each have a single stem, many colors of Apricorn grow on each bush! Little unripe ones are struggling to bud out, while others are ripe and hard.

There are two of each of the following Apricorn fruits (in total):
-Blue
-Pink
-Red
-White
-Yellow
-Green

Ducking under the planks barricading the sagging doorframe, you see the shack is just one room, with a sooty stone fireplace and little else. The only real feature is a statue of Uxie! It's beautifully made, full colored, and a purple aura flows around the marble Uxie's head.

Solomon is eyeing it in his scholarly way. Kirlia is interested, but he can tell there is no actual life here.
