As they entered the building Mikel couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He fidgeted as he looked around and couldn't help but feel like he didn't belong.
As they approached the room with the chairs, Mikel elected to remain standing to the side, trying to touch as little as possible.
Lia, on the other hand, was content to make herself at home and climbed up on one of the chairs as she eyed the other three with narrowed eyes.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg "Mattaeus," Elizabeth first called out to the Seer after the rest had already gone inside. "You don't happen to have a stable would you? Or mind if I leave my dear Apollo outside with your trees? I only ask since Apollo's not the type to go into his Ball willingly and some people don't take kindly to a fire-breathing mount being so near there homes."

"Oh, certainly, Lass," Matthaeus calls back, laughing. "Don't worry, my house is made of stone, so unless your Ponyta causes the mountain to erupt, I think it'll be good."
"Anyways," he says, once everyone's inside, moving towards his kitchen area, "While you make yourselves comfortable, what would you like to drink? Water? Coffee? Tea? Berry Juice? I'm afraid I don't have anything stronger." He laughs a bit to himself. "Oh, I'm sorry if I'm coming across to strong, here. It's just that I've been used to having company. They only left a week ago, rather abruptly, after being here for more than a month." He looks out the kitchen window almost melancholically, before snapping back. "Well," he says hastily, clearing his throat, "enough about that. How about those drinks while we wait for Prophet?"

"If it isn't an inconvience a water would be great, thank you." Mikel said with a nod. "Do you need any help?" He asked moving toward the kitchen with the old man. "I would hate to just be a burden."
Meanwhile, after finishing up sizing up the others, Lia hopped off the chair and walked over to Elizabeth before poking her to try and get her attention.

"Tea would be great. Thanks." Caervin watches Mikel get up and follow the man; his eyes narrow in suspicion. The other boy's dark attire didn't sit well with him; was he up to something?
His attention is then drawn to the weird Kirlia. He watches the interaction between girl and strange pokemon out of the corner of his eye, ready to intervene with Kindy--or even Rune--if necessary....

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg After having tied Apollo to one of the tree's outside (Having left him with one of the lower hanging fruit trees to snack on), she made her way inside, pushing through the slab of wooden door and situating herself to one of the many chairs that decorated his home. Whilst the outside was ornate and decorative of a traditional nature, the inside had a touch of modern to it. Mattaeus's home reminded her of her old apartment back in Azure before she had left it. "Coffee with some sugar would be nice. Otherwise straight is fine as well." She called out to the retreating figures of Mikel and Mattaeus as she further scanned the room, petting the bobbed head of the little Kirlia beside her. "You said you had visitors before us, Mattaeus? Were they just passing along as well?"

Lia looks annoyed at the petting and swats at Elizabeth's hand with her stubby arms. Annoyed at attention not being given to her she kicks Elizabeth in the shin with her wimpy legs while looking up and waiting for the strange woman to acknowledge her.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Her eyes widened in slight surprise of the Kirlia's forceful nature as she retreated her hand, clutching it to her chest. Had she done something wrong? Was there something else that the Kirlia wanted from her? Staring at it a bit more intently, Elizabeth cocked her head at it as she removed her crossed legs from the Kirlia's vicinity. "Yes?"

Once she was satisfied the woman was paying attention, Lia raised her right 'hand' and then pointed at Elizabeth with her left before pointing to her right hand. Then she made a backhanded slapping motion into the palm of the right hand.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Elizabeth stared at the Kirlia's fingering gestures, frowning at her meaning. "You're a rough one, aren't you? Does that make you a male Kirlia then?" She wondered out loud.

Lia's eyes go wide. WHAT?! She thought annoyed and stomped her foot. Was this human blind?! It was clear she was way too cute to be a male! Ugh why did this stupid bimbo have to show up?!
She shook her head rapidly as she frowned at the fact that legs were out of kicking range. Determined to not be outdone, Lia teleported off the ground and onto the edge of Elizabeth's seat. She then tried to kick Elizabeth again, but the small amount of room she had mixed with her lack of kicking skills meant that the kicking motion caused her to fall off the chair and land on her butt regardless of if she landed her kick or not.
She quickly jumped to her feet and pointed at her chest before puffing it out.

"Oi. Mikel, that was your name, right?" Caervin calls out, getting to his feet. His eyes glimmer with anger, directed entirely at the young, stupid Kirlia. "Control your damn pokemon, will you? It's assaulting Miss Elizabeth. You should keep it in a ball if it can't manage to be civil."
Then he turns to address the pokemon herself, as Kindy gets to her feet with a snarl at her master's clear displeasure. "And you. You're only making him look bad, you know? Is that what you want? Because right now all I'm seeing is a rude pokemon who is disrespecting its trainer--and others--by proving that it clearly wasn't trained well enough. If you've got any sense in you, you'll leave Miss Elizabeth alone."

"Now, now," Matthaeus says sternly, having finished putting on the coffee and tea. "There'll be no fighting in a house of the Gods. Even if I don't know if said gods are still around..."
"And... my last visitors," he says, remembering. "Well, they were an...interesting pair. Brother and sister, they were disciples of Latias and Latios searching for the gods. They were convinced that the gods were still in this world, and that they just needed to be found. Apparently, though... they annoyed one too many authority figures in their search, so they searched for a shelter and some sanctuary, which I gave them. The gods do not judge. Well...some do, but that doesn't sound as good. Anyways, yeah, they left last week, to continue their search. Before you ask," he says quickly, "I don't know where they went. I made sure to not ask, so I couldn't tell. Easier on my conscience that way."

Lia quickly jumps away from Elizabeth and glares at Caervin when the obnoxious man calls out and tattles. She glances bored at the Growlithe and makes a final rude gesture before moving away and taking a seat back where she was before.
Mikel, meanwhile, quickly comes out, "Lia!" He said a bit worried based on the description. "Miss Elizabeth are you ok?" He asks looking over at Lia who was doing her best to try and act sweet. He frowned at her and raised an eyebrow, "What is wrong with you today?" He asked. Lia quickly tried to act innocent and look confused.

Caervin nods, sitting back down with Kindy curled about his feet. "Sometimes not knowing where you're going is the best way to hit the road. I've traveled all my life. Never stopped for more than a week. It's the way to live, in my opinion. My feet set to a path and they'll lead me where I need to be. Like here." He smiles up at Matthaeus. There was still a bit of hope that he'd find answers. "So, those letters...?"

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg As the Kirlia vanished from her eyes and reappeared beside her on the seat, Elizabeth jumped immediately at the sudden act, tossing over the chair with her quick movement, the attempted kick to her sides barely fazing her. Her brows furrowed more intently at the Psychic Pokémon with a level of annoyance she mostly reserved towards her father's gripes. "Thank you for the concern, both of you. But I'm fine." A light smile curved across her lips to assuage the group. "I'm sure me and...Lia... can work our differences out." She turned her gaze once more to the Pokémon. "Right, Lia?""But, yes, the letters. Let's get back to that."

"Ah, yes, Prophet should be here any time. He's not as young as he used to be... ah, here we go." The Xatu comes flying out, telekinetically grasping a medium-sized iron box with ornate designs on it. "One moment..." he says, the box opening to reveal an enormous amount of carefully stacked envelopes.
"Bah... I knew there were drawbacks to having my foresight manifesting in letters. And no one ever coming to collect. When did I write those? Sorry... Prophet is the one who remembers all the names. Now, let's see- Huh?" He pauses in his ramblings to pull out a letter that looks a bit different than the others. "This one's addressed to me. I never wrote one to myself... Hmm." He sets it aside, and starts digging through the box, carefully restacking the letters outside it in reverse order. "Wow..." he says, pulling out a larger envelope. "This... this brings back memories. Forty-something years ago. Wow, was my penmanship a lot worse back then... Anyways, lass, I'll let you open it." Matthaeus hands the large envelope to Elizabeth, while he just holds the one for him in his own hand and stares at it, puzzled.
The outside of the large envelope reads, in a careful hand, "Elizabeth Delisle, Caervin Silver, Mikel Kuro". There is also a date written on it of more than four decades earlier.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Elizabeth takes the offered envelope into her hand, examining it curiously with a scrunched look. Forty years? That's more than she expected. "You wrote this that long ago? That's..." She couldn't find the words. Her heart leaps, throbbing a jittering exhale, as her fingers slowly peel off the edges of the sealed parchment.

Lia forces a smile and nods giving her best impression of a 'thumbs' up. She wasn't willing to cause a scene with everyone watching.
When the envelope arrived, Mikel looked surprised. "Well...I don't think I am forty." He said with a light chuckle. "And I would prefer not to believe in destiny or foresight determining a person's future..." He mumbled. Seeing his full name he whinced, though he didn't comment.

Inside the unexpectedly heavy envelope is a letter which reads:
Amongst the noise, there comes a silence, That begins a conquest, without violence. From new comes old, and old comes new, Beware the one, disguised as two. Three heroes go to search for voices Along the way they must make choices Of what really matters in the end As the foe tries to ascend. Of who to lose, and who to save, For peace will come from the grave. To find the answers that you seek, Start at the place that was once bleak. Where from death came life again, In the form of the spring arcane.
There is also a little note at the bottom of the letter: "Enclosed is the letter to each of you that was written before this. Only open one in a time of great need, for only then will the contents make sense to you. If you open them before, I fear that you will make things worse. The future is a dangerous thing to know... I only hope that one day that you will be able to read this."
Contained at the bottom of the envelope are three more letters, sealed, one addressed to each of you.
