Forward From the Past

[Clif]

ooc: We may have agreed upon this, but nowhere did you say, NOR did we discuss any form of time travel between the two! Did you ask Jespeon (who is the main Admin of Island In Danger) if you could transport characters back and forth between the two? Even though we both are Admin on that sight, you should have consulted Jespeon before moving forward with this plot.

[wynnyelle]

Charna stood watching them discuss things amongst themselves. Really, she didn't think they'd be a threat to her...but one never knew. She was ready to defend herself if need be.

ooc: Erymire's got a colourful past, to say the least. Long ago a dark aruseus attempted to take control of the entire world. She briefly succeeded, but was overthrown and destroyed. The lasting effects from the battle still scar the planet to this day. Also, billions of years ago a giant asteroid struck the world, creating a giant crater; this event is possibly connected with the large deposits of elemental energy on the Pokemon world. The crater is now water-filled and many fault lines and thus mountain ranges radiate out from it {visible on the map I made}. The mountains near Erymire are one such range.

Teddy and Ursa seemed puzzled. "What's the horde?" asked Teddy.

OOC: burnthopes92, I am also an administrator of Island in Danger. I thought it would be acceptable to do so because Wynnyelle was currently inactive and Jespeon and yourself had agreed upon the connection. However, if you feel it's necessary, I will delete this topic.

[wynnyelle]

Charna stepped forward at this time. "Yes...what's the Horde?" It sounded rather dangerous, but Charna was used to danger.

ooc: There's no need to delete anything. I really like your plot idea. Why not base it here? You are free to connect your characters to any other game you wish, I don't want to squash anything here. I just don't want my own brainchild used on another game. The world I based Erymire on is my main brainchild, and one I have been working and writing on for over 8 years of my life.

[Omega]

Sombra turned to the articuno, "Yes, I'm sure we'd all be interested in this 'horde'."

OOC: Thank you, Wynnyelle. I guess since you approve, the idea stands.

[wynnyelle]

Charna stood back from the articuno, this was a bird she had never seen before. "So...who are all of you?"

ooc: The idea of a small island turning into a continent does not stand, since never in Earth's history has that happened, and never in Erymire's world's history has that happened. Think of Erymire's world as being a little like Earth, supersized and supercharged, with millions of species of pokemon and plants. The island can exist still, maybe it's a time AND place portal?

[~Handy~]

"Im Smooth. The Horde is a evil organisation of pokemon Erymire. Very dangerous." Smooth syas, looking at Charna then Sombra, since Charna wanted to know Smooths name, and to Sombra, since he looked the most interested.

[wynnyelle]

"I'm..Charna. Erymire...then I really am here, in the Southlands?" said Charna, looking around as though she were suddenly someplace entirely new, again. "Hazagbris bless us all!"

[Omega]

"Evil organization?" said Sombra in disbelief.

OOC: Time and place? I suppose it's possible.

[wynnyelle]

"I would believe it," said Charna. "Evil is everywhere, and it loves to be organised."

ooc: A portal is a fictional thing anyway, so why not? Maybe the two places are connected by something else. Maybe an important pokemon went to both places, or something?

[Omega]

"Not where I come from..." said Sombra in disdain.

[wynnyelle]

Charna looked at Sombra curiously, "how do you mean? I'm gathering that evil takes a very different shape where you're from? So you're not from here either?"

[Omega]

"I'm not sure where I'm from," said Sombra, "But wherever it is, we didn't deal with evil. It was peaceful."

[wynnyelle]

Charna raised a sandy-coloured brow. "You don't know where you're from? How exactly is that possible? And there is no such thing as a place without evil..."

[Omega]

Sombra sighed, "Well, I know where I'm from, but I'm not sure where it is," he said as he looked into the sky, "For all I know. That celebi could have taken me to another dimension."

[wynnyelle]

"You saw a celebi?" Charna's amber lights fluttered for a moment. "So...are you saying you were transported in time? Because I don't know much about celebis, but I do know they can travel in time."

[~Handy~]

"Yeah we saw a celebi." Jonas says as he looks at the ground.

[wynnyelle]

"Where in the world did you see a celebi?" said Charna. "you were visited by a sacred being! And whenever a celebi transports someone through time, she does it for a reason. You're here for a reason." If they had been visited and transported here by a celebi, they were close to sacred in her eyes.

[Omega]

"Well," replied Sombra while glaring at Teddy, "somebody broke one of its sacred items."

[wynnyelle]

"Broke a sacred item? What do you mean? Do you mean that you were sent here as...punishment?" Charna now wondered if it was safe to associate with them. "Are you cursed?"

[Omega]

Sombra sighed, "Well, where we come from, Celebi keeps tablets that tell stories. One of them broke and Celebi sent us here as punishment for doing so. We're not cursed. We're imprisoned."

[wynnyelle]

"That's fascinating," said Charna. "But how...how do tablets tell stories? For that matter, I'm not even sure what a tablet is. It's some kind of stone, am I right?" She was fascinated to be gaining insight into how celebies lived and ran their culture.

[Omega]

"Oh," replied Sombra with a serious tone, "I could tell you about tablets. Celebi carved them. They depicted events from the past and the future. Some say they even depicted tales from other dimensions."

[wynnyelle]

"What events are these?" said Charna. "Do you remember what any of them were? And how did you come to be handling them at all?"

[Omega]

Sombra directed his attention back at Teddy, "I wasn't handling them," he said before turning back to Charna, "The events depicted many things. The creation of the Island to which I am native, for example. However, some of them I had never heard. I recall one that depicted a black moltres."

[wynnyelle]

"This all has to mean something. A black moltres? Is he from your time...or another time?" said Charna, "what island are you a native of?" Maybe she would finally get some answer as to where they were from.

[Omega]

"No one knows what the moltres is," replied Sombra, "On the tablet, 'Kuro' was written. No one with that name exists where I come from. As for the island, it doesn't have a name. We simply refer to it as 'The Island.'"

[wynnyelle]

"Kuro?" said Charna, who, being a sheep pokemon, had no knowledge or understanding of writing. "What do you mean, it was written? And what is kuro--the moltres's name?"

[Omega]

"It was stated below the depiction of Kuro," replied Sombra, "I don't know what it is. If I did, I would have told you."

[wynnyelle]

Charna could tell that Sombra had said all that could be said on it. "Well, now that you're here, what are you searching for? Just a way back, or would that not be enough? Are you looking for a way to repair the tablet?"
