    Solaris----------Moonfall---------Ivy---------AmiSolaris glanced up, his head having just rested on Epitaph's flank. She was a good friend, he was grateful she was around, but all the same...what he was about to say would be preferably said in private. "Excuse me..." The Espeon muttered quietly, slipping off the bed and onto the floor with only a slight wince as he landed. His legs hurt, the bindings that kept them from buckling under him were horrible itchy. The only reason he wasn't dead, so he was told, was the bite wounds in the back of his neck had barely caught the skin. Vesta, his mother, had been a Flareon and though none of her traits were blatantly noticeable on him he had inherited one thing from her. A thick ruff of fur around the neck. It blended in with the rest of his coat, but had saved him from having his spinal cord gnawed on by a Houndoom. He hobbled forward to Tolin, nudging the Scyther with his head out the door and looping his long tail around the handle to close it behind him. "I dissolved his bones to dust." He said simply, once out of earshot. "Rapid aging. Ever since that sparring match with Alfred I've been...practicing...in private. The disc said that the Elite are near immortal with those pendants, they can heal from any injury with ease, but I doubt they can go forward in time."Solaris sighed and settled on the floor, pulling his legs in to get more comfortable. "You think that's why Eridanus fled yesterday. That he was afraid of Roar of Time. You'd be right, I think. What would an immortal fear more than to have his immortality stripped away as the clock winds back. Tempest thinks the same thing, she wants to run some tests on it's potency once they let me out of here..."The Pikachu had burst in earlier in a bout of inspiration and demanded him as a test subject for an idea she'd had. "She thinks it can be used to destroy the relics..." Pushing himself back to his feet the psychic turned once again for the door. "...if that's everything, I ask you leave us in peace." Solaris gave a slight sniff, shaking his head to clear the misery away. "You don't have children. You can't possibly know what it's like to almost lose one. I humored you this time, Tolin. Keep pestering and I'll kill you, you insensitive p***k."It was...a bit crass to assume Tolin didn't have kids, but that was the truth as far as Solaris knew.

 Tolin. That gave them a weapon to use against Orion, if necessary. " Don't run any tests just yet, forcibly destroying the relics is dangerous and there should be alternatives." At least the one, anyways. Bit rash to start something that might nuke Solaris (and the guild) out of existence... trying to break them normally was a bad idea, anyways. You never knew what bending time was like. " ...And Solaris? I may not have had children, but there have been a great many people more dear to me than I can explain. Almost all of them are dead. If I had the time to let you or anyone mend, I would take it. But I don't know when Eridanus is coming back, and I need to be prepared." Alfred was on that list as well, not that the Espeon really needed to know that. With that, the Scyther was gone.

 x Epitaph --- SaileitheEpitaph's ears twitched and her head lifted off the bed as Solaris reopened the door, her eyes locked on the Espeon instantly. Sai merely opened one of her eyes to glance at the door then close it again with a tired breath. She became still again after that.
"...Is everything alright?" Epitaph watched Solaris with a rather saddened expression. Seeing him move around the way he was didn't make her feel all that better.
Whatever happened with Tolin didn't occur to her as a good thing.

Solaris----------Moonfall---------Ivy---------AmiThe Espeon said nothing immediately, preferring to try and get back on the bed and failing miserably. His psychic was tapped out, he couldn't teleport and jumping hurt. Moonfall slipped gracefully from his seat and with little warning slipped under Solaris and pushed the Espeon up onto the bed in silence. That done he returned to coil back around Ivy. Solaris sighed, nodding a thank you, and shifted back to Epitaph's side where he finally laid his head down on her back in peace. "Yes, for now." He answered, but for how much longer would it be? Another attack could come at any second. The uneasiness of it all kept him alert, wide awake.

xEpitaph --- SaileitheEpitaph shifted as Solaris began to struggle, but relaxed again once Moonfall got down to help. The Flareon nodded a thank you as she laid back down and felt Solaris' head back on her moments after. She smiled. It was a happy but sad look as she rested her head back down on the bed and took a quiet sigh as she heard the Espeon out.
For now was quite true. After this, chances are everyone would be jumpy as well. It was scary truthfully. To think the most of them are still in the shock of the event as well. The fear didn't hit her personally full force yet.
"We'll go somewhere nice when you get better..."
Epitaph's voice was quiet as her weak, happy expression stared off beyond the wall in front of her.
He let his guard down, so did she. They'd look like a wreck regardless.
Sai's ears made swift twitches at her mother's voice. She showed no other signs of motion and was only half conscious by this point, but she was still wary of Epitaph's actions.
The Flareon laid in silence for some time before her body finally began to give off shivers as if she were crying. "I didn't think you would make it... and all I could do was sit and watch..."
The Flareon took a breath, calming herself to but a small extent. She didn't leave the side of the barrier for a moment, but she questioned Darius' death due to it. "I'm so sorry." The apology was indirect. She didn't know if she was saying it to Solaris, herself, Sai, or Darius.

((Shawny, feel free to take over Solly. I'm just trying to get everything on with.))  Epitaph --- Solaris -- Javs -- Saileithe Epitaph rested on a bed in a free room. Getting into the hospital quickly was easy. The Flareon wasn't hurt, but she was best left with her heart being monitored for the time being. It wasn't like she was awake to do anything anyway.
The trio rested coiled on the bed. Sai had grown used to the Espeon, making her far less picky of his closeness to her mother. Besides, she was there for him when he was hurt so it'd only make sense that he'd want to be close. They were all still, the only conscious two remained silent, listening to the steady beeping of Epitaph's electrocardiogram. Every beep seemed so important suddenly. It was comforting.
Javs teleported into the room, having just dropped off Era. Solaris looked at him for just a moment before resting his head by Epitaph's and closing his eyes.
"It seems everything's fine now?" Solaris nodded slightly and Sai's ears twitched at the voice. Overall, neither of them moved. "Yeah. Thanks for your help." The Gardevoir stepped off to the side and sat down in a free seat.
Aire has yet to say anything to him so he imagined he had time to collect himself. He was honestly exhausted, but it was thankfully over.

Tolin Apparently the guilds had been as busy as he was. A new pendant was always nice. He had already pieced together bits and pieces of what had happened by having a quick chat with a guild member when he passed by. Some Froslass was making ghosts pop up, not really much else there. What struck him as odd was that the Froslass had spoken with Javs at length, and then the Gardevoir slit her throat. There was a traitor somewhere, and unlike most of the potential candidates it would be possible to actually speak to Javs. Most of the pokemon were downright violent in some way or another... which meant if it really came down to suspicion force would be involved. This included Lloyd, and trying to force information out of him would end poorly. Now that he thought of it, he should visit Lloyd while he was still here. He had something to discuss with the Weavile, though it could wait for the time being. For now, Javs. A few slight taps on the door from the back of his scythe marked his entrance. " Care to have a chat, Javs?"

Epitaph --- Solaris -- Javs -- SaileitheJavs’ eyes opened from his idle. What caught his interest was the fact that his name was said rather than them just getting some random visitor for the advisor upon her condition. Apparently more people knew him than necessary, but this voice was familiar. After a few seconds, he stood and the door slowly opened through his psychic as he approached. “Pardon. I’d rather talk outside the room.” Not that there was anything unnatural to say. Everyone present saw and knew the situation, but he had the decency to acknowledge the Eeveelutions were resting and were likely better left unbothered.
The door shut behind him as he motioned around Tolin before finally resting his back against the room’s outer wall. He looked at Tolin then, trying to trigger his memory. Anything taller than himself made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Why he wouldn’t remember was beyond him. “I imagine this is about the relic?” Not many other reasons why he’d be addressed.

Tolin " Yes, it is." Tolin let the Gardevoir leave the room and get comfortable before speaking. He remained standing, his body loose and relaxed; any other position made him look as if he was going to attack. " I've already heard the basics of what happened. I also heard that you had a conversation with the Froslass before cutting out her throat. What did she say?" He would also have to find out who had the relic at the moment, presuming it wasn't just on Javs and totally unmentioned in the descriptive text.

Epitaph --- Solaris -- Javs -- SaileitheThe Gardevoir's eyes traveled elsewhere at the question. There was hardly a conversation to begin with. "We spoke." He started, almost correctively. "She was nervous. Judging by her tone and words, she was rather clueless of what she'd gotten into. Of course, I myself don't understand them much either. I'm merely here with Aire."
Simplified, 'I don't want to be involved in your s**t'.
Why she wasn't the one in this situation was beyond him... though she seemed a bit strange lately. Javs stared off for a moment in thought.
He continued then, his head turning slightly to view the Scyther. "Something did catch my attention though. While she stated the relic had been given to her by another Pokemon-- a Gengar, if I recall, she mentioned a pact of sorts." He frowned, the situation replaying in his mind.
"She was losing. Quite horribly at that. The relic responded accordingly and backfired on her. The barrier that protected her personally throughout the fight had fallen... That was when Solaris and I stepped in." Javs paused again as his attention fell off Tolin. The conversation was so short lived. He didn't want to forget anything. "The Gengar she had mentioned giving her the relic had said something about being unwilling to challenge the guilds. That's all I can tell you that I assume would be of use. Anything else?" He seemed uptight and straight to the point-- though it was likely preferred that way.

Tolin
"She was given the relic by a Gengar?"
There weren't any Gengar, as far as he knew, that had anything to do with this...
It was possible he was an elite. Or maybe even forcefully created by Darkrai. The original information hadn't said anything about an existing ghost-type Elite...
And a pact. What did the pact mean? The most he could think of was something to let non-elite use the pendants?
But why go so far as to make a pact...? Mortal bearers were doomed regardless.
"Is there anything else? Anything about the pact that might shed some light as to it's purpose?"

  Singel Uluat❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺Into the hospital rolled in Team Firewind. Singel, the leader, came in resting on his teammates shoulder. Uluat did all he could to keep his balance as well as Singel's while holding a TM and an Egg under his other arm. Needless to say it was difficult for the small Gligar to do all those things at once. But he handled them all rather nicely as he reached a hospital bed and smiled at Singel. "Now you go and rest up buddy. No need on making you worry yourself too much now that all the ghost problems are taken care of." The Gligar said as he sat down next to the bed.
Singel was beginning to get his sight in order, the haziness leaving his vision and he saw the hospital room he was now in. Typical for any hospital, white walls and one window. He suddenly got a splitting headache and let out a moan. "Hey Uluat? Can you go and see if there is a nurse to check my hea...." Singel stopped his sentence as he say Uluat finally fall asleep himself, having just as long a day as Singel had. He smiled as he saw his partner leaning his head against the egg like a pillow. "Well at least he will keep in warm like that I guess." He joked as he started noticing the egg shine a little in the light. He then cringed a little, realizing the shine was from Uluat's drool. "Now if only he could keep it dry and not moist." He joked again, this time a nervous chuckle sounding from his throat.❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺❖✺

Epitaph --- Solaris -- Javs -- Saileithe"I imagine it could have been normal affairs between normal Pokemon. The idea of a relic being involved merely blows things out of proportion." He replied quick, though he still didn't look back over. "But yes, that's where the idea of a pact being involved makes that far too innocent. Pacts themselves are kept within the beings that make them. What if this rather carried over on the relic instead? You need to think rather openly about such ideas." Javs closed his eyes and rested his head against the wall, pausing for a moment to collect his thought. He hated this game.
"If the Gengar itself mentioned taking on the guilds though... Then it's safe to assume this rooted from it and this unknown other before reaching the Froslass. Now then, the relics are connected to Darkrai, yes? He'd be my first suspect. Manipulation is rather easy, wouldn't you say?"
Tolin was lucky the Gardevoir's female other wasn't the one there. She'd never sit there and take this step for step.
Then again, Aire also would have killed the Froslass without getting anything out of it but the relic. The idea of it made him frown again at seemingly nothing.
"Whatever the pact was, I assume it's gone now. The relic was passed on again, but we also took out its current carrier in the process."

Tolin
So Javs really couldn't provide him with anything of any merit at all.
That was kind of unfortunate, not that he had really expected much.
"Mmm. Inform Solaris that a meeting is on the horizon. It's long since time for the heads to gather again."
New information was present. Plans had to be made and put to the front.
If the Froslass was a soldier of Darkrai as he considered, it would mean everything was going to get started soon.
Darkrai simply only had a few Elite left under his command. He had, perhaps, one other pendant left. And Creaus.
An all-out battle wasn't beyond the realm of possibility.
"And wish Epitaph well for me. She's to take the time she needs to rest. She can hardly keep Solaris straight if she's ill."
With that, the Scyther disappeared to a different part of the hospital. He needed to talk to Lloyd.

Epitaph --- Solaris -- Javs -- SaileitheJavs bowed his head silently as the Scyther teleported off. That went by far easier than he'd originally imagined. Maybe he was just used to Solaris coming back at everything he said with a question.
He was still for a few moment before finally turning back toward the door and gapping through. The Eeveelutions had passed out already. Not that he was feeling all that energetic himself.
The Gardevoir turned to eye the door again before teleporting out. He'd be back to bother Solaris later.
