Welcome to Gaia! ::

The highest floor in the Guild/Tower of Rebirth. It is a large glass dome that can rotate to view every direction.
Since the Tower is located in the center of the region it has the perfect of each Guilds palace and all the territory.
When not in viewing mode, metal slides appear to encircle the glass so the room is returned to a normal office-style area.

Minerva stood beside her husband. He seemed alright, in spite of the teleportation. The clear glass dome that stood in places of walls and ceilings was no doubt the cause; the direct sunlight was always beneficial for him.

Thanatos floated through the portal and inspected his surroundings. The full glass ceiling was nice. It definitely had a good feel to it. Suitable for Arceus, at least.



Tolin landed on the ground softly. Everyone seemed present, so they would likely start soon.

Albus did as well and instantly felt the power glaring through the plate. They always had a tenuous connection, but he hadn't experienced this kind of power since the Charizard.

The Leafeon frowned at the fact all of this had been set up. Arceus better knew exactly what he was doing if he had chose to see if an idiot like Solaris could mess up the time-stream.

His attention though, was caught by the ghost of Jupiter.

"Brother?" He questioned, stepping forward towards the Jolteon, questions forming within his mind. Did Jupiter trap his soul between life and death as Ethan had done? If so, why has Pluto never seen his brother since his murder?

Was Jupiter's presence here a temporary one, his soul pulled back by Arceus? Does that mean The Original One could bring back the dead?

Pluto asked none of this though. He had other matters to attend to, and amongst them was the feelings of guilt and regret he had always worked so hard to bury under his efforts at redemption. The leafeon bowed his head, a rare gesture from him.

He had nothing to say. Always he wondered if it was because he was blinded by spite that he did not see the truth of what Selena was. Could he have seen the murder in her eyes but chose to ignore it because of his pride that was wounded by Jupiter's ascension? The Leafeon carries many burdens upon his shoulders, and the one he is most unsure of -that of Jupiter's death- is the one that causes him the most grief.



Amaterasu rose to her feet at Arceus's arrival, dipping her head in respect once before trotting to his side, watching the conversation impassively as if she did not understand. When Arceus addressed Alfred, she yawned, bending over to scratch at her ears with her hind paw.

She straightened immediately as Alfred spat at Arceus, bringing up The Canvas. She redirected the blob of liquid off to the side harmlessly and stared at the Gardevoir rigidly, staring at him with disapproval.

Oh, it was Jupiter. Wonderful. She immediately turned to her husband who had already been stricken by the years of accumulated grief. Her husband had some very deep-seated issues regarding her brother-in-law. He blamed himself for Jupiter's death in many ways, though it was clear it wasn't his fault. She decided to disregard the pretense of formality given the circumstances. Everyone here barring the Scyther and the Gardevoir were family--except Arceus himself, of course. She nuzzled him lovingly even as she carefully listened to the discussion between Alfred and Arceus.

Jupiter was, unfortunately, just as she remembered him. An arrogant little man. He was just as crass as Arceus, who didn't seem to recognize tact or diplomacy. Calming down Alfred (and possibly Arceus if his current behaviour continued) would prove to be a challenge, if not impossible.

Thanatos just mused quietly to himself. He doesn't seem to know much for a god.



Albus mostly stayed shut up. It was a bit inspiring to be in the presence of the great god. The Original One. The Creator. The Beginning. He'd gone by many names, but regardless of what you called him, Arceus was a sight to behold. Not that Albus was very religious. He'd never seen "god" as a necessary concept to rule the house. Judgment served only to enforce his position as a royal.

Tolin, however, raised a number of curious questions within himself. Teacher broke the agreement? Arceus's predictions were erroneous? He was accepting counsel from Jupiter? He didn't seem to understand the consequences of his statement to Alfred, either. He could have lied. He could have taken a different route entirely.

Furthermore, what are the attachments to this "last chance"? Is it merely as simple as finding someone else to carry out the task or is it something more broad? Arceus could even wipe out the kingdom, if he wished it. If it was a simple replacement, anyone would do. Which, curiously begged the question; why hadn't he restored Orion's mind? Should Orion be capable to think, he would be perfect. His powers of Judgment were obviously the strongest even without a plate and he understood the issues at hand better than anyone else.

So, Arceus wasn't omnipotent. How far did it stretch, though? Could he hear Tolin's thoughts right now? Was it an automatic function or a proactive effort? Hello~?

Regardless, he would have to ask. Later, perhaps. Flavio's question was much more urgent.

Pluto looked up at Jupiter, sorrow in his eyes.

"Sadly, we can not change what has happened. We are only left to work with the results of our decisions." Unless if you travel back in time, but that has disastrous outcomes, so no.

Pluto turned to continue to follow the conversation, only then realizing he had missed the beginning. He picked up what he could though, and pieced it together well enough. He will demand a full explanation later from someone of course, but now was not the time.

Arceus's worlds sparked his interest quite a bit. What happens when one dies is a mystery that all mortals ponder. With the end of his own life looming not far off, the small amount of information Arceus leaked was quite significant. So this means there is an afterlife? The soul does not experience oblivion? What is this afterlife like?

Once a long time ago Pluto had asked these questions of Ethan. The ghost had no answers though; having not passed beyond he knew no more than the Leafeon. After this meeting is done, there were questions he would have on the subject with Arceus and Jupiter...

His attention was taken by Orion's prophecy, and Pluto listened raptly, committing every word to memory. Children of his children's children...that would mean Pluto's grandchildren's generation. Two of them would bring balance and harmony to this world?

"Is this then, a guarantee that the balance will be restored?" Pluto asked, stepping forward. The prophecy seemed clear enough about this. The Leafeon briefly glanced over at Albus, wondering what the time frame in this prophecy involves. Currently there was Solaris's kid, and apparently Selena has a child as well. The other twins -his own, and Venus's- does not have children yet (not that he knows of).

He does not like the idea of this world's fate being balanced on the shoulder of Ami and whatever results from Selena. And to think both children are tainted with the blood of non-eevees! He hopes that his own sons and Elizabeth would have more sense than that. If the prophecy is one far off from being fulfilled, perhaps it then would be their children who fulfils it.

"Um, excuse me? So, about the Weavile...?" Nova cut in, trying to follow everything but not doing too well. She rarely concerned herself with affairs outside of Pluto's mansion, and though she knows about the horrid state the world is in right now, she doesn't know enough about it.

As far as she was concerned, smiting Nico off the face of the earth was far more important. And she rather not see Solaris attempt to do it, especially with the past results of fighting the insane Weavile.



Amaterasu, seeing Alfred more or less calmed down and not likely to attack her father, settled down herself. She laid down beside Arceus, yawning widely as if none of this concerned her.
