[Setsuna's joining with the ranks of the Divine Defense Force means she's been spending a lot of time reading older texts related to the Savior and Legendary pokemon. War and protection come up a lot in those texts so those words are the next that pop out to Setsuna.]

...something...about a war? Or maybe it's a battle. Either way this Lord of the Ground or whatever is associated some kind of conflict that happened long ago.

[bleeding_heart]

Do you think it's from the time of your peoples' Savior?

[incousinswithyou]

[Haruka's hand gets a squeeze back.

To Merrill:] It could be. [glance at Setsuna] Depending on which side this Ground Lord was.

[That's about all! The grammar is just a little too archaic to be able to put those words together in a perfectly clear manner. Discussion and theorizing may begin.]

Given where - [ "we found these" is probably a bad thing to say in mixed company ] these were found, it could be Caldera's red giant.

[ In which case it's a god. But there were a lot of gods associated with that cataclysm, right? Could it really be called a "war"? ]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna stares at the text for a few minutes longer, but she has the feeling that's about all she is going to be able to get through today.]

It's difficult to say more than what's been said already. It's going to be conjecture from there.

[bleeding_heart]

We got a lot done, though!

[incousinswithyou]

[...the most logical thing to do would be to go back to the dang volcano and talk to the shiny Arcanine. Bring bribes and a properly modest attitude. It could be dangerous, but well. What better way to learn about the gods, other than the gods themselves? Incapacitating one with a suspicious rock apparently doesn't count.

Michiru has to wonder if this "Ground Lord" has taken a shine to Hotaru's lamp.

She's got her usual smile on, however.] I suppose we could all use a break.

[Michiru, you didn't even do anything.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka nods. ] It's a start. There might be references that line up in resources we haven't checked yet.

[ Not that she's going to be much help there either. But she could try.

Or, yeah. They could go speak with the messenger some more. Food for thought. ]
