Benny turned to examine Sparky going towards Arceus and then flew off as fast as he could. If he was going to complement Arceus he might as well do so right now, especially since the others were worried about Sparky. He caught up with Sparky just before reaching Arceus and had a happy smile for her. "Let's go talk to him together," he said to her.

Michael watched Sparky wander over towards Arceus, the very thing he didn't dare do. At least Eros understood. He grabbed his backpack to look for a Pokémon treat and handed one to Eros when he found it. Since they were waiting he might as well make the wait enjoyable. He smiled when he saw Lytse extend his paws and gave him a treat as well.

Kim watched it from where she was; it was admirable that Benny didn't hesitate to assist Sparky, and that he dared causally fly up to god of all Pokémon. "He's always been brave," she muttered and then turned to Frosiien. "Benny was Andy's first Pokémon, they met because Benny approached him. Or, well, approached Andy's honey sandwich to eat it, the fact there were two humans near that sandwich and him being a small Caterpie didn't stop him."

"Is there anything you would like?" the nurse asked. "Something to read, or some TV perhaps, maybe some drawing paper? Or you can rest if you are tired. Just let me know if you need anything. And, of course, let me know if you experience any side effects, okay?"
She smiled at Ray as she waited to see what would happen, or if Ray needed anything.

Marc stared at Sara. That... was true, she was a patient here, but he still felt the need to defend himself. "I did speak to the patient I treated," he said. "Although, well, Carol was catatonic and couldn't reply. Rebecca screamed at me every time I said anything, no words, just screams, and Tim is muttering to himself all day long and doesn't reply to anything I say. Rose is actually kind and thanks me every time I give her something to eat or drink or hand her her pills and Simon was always up for a chat, but got distracted by the voices in his head a lot."

He paused, Simon was brought up by Benjamin, for some reason Benjamin was adamant he hadn't gone home. "I don't know what you want me to talk about with the patients, but during the time I worked here I heard nothing out of the ordinary."

Again, except for what Benjamin had said, who sounded a lot more level-headed than most patients. Then again, even Simon could have moments of being seemingly normal, right until he replied to someone who wasn't there. "I don't know what you want from me..." he said at the end of his explanation.

Time to wrap up the writing, read it through a final time and submit it!

"French toast would be lovely," Benjamin said and glanced to Mike when April asked him what he wanted.
"Oh, ehm, waffles please," Mike said. It was a bit of a surprise that Jack ordered the same thing. It had been a while since he had waffles for breakfast and he was starting to look forward to it.

As the waitress left to handle their order, Benjamin turned to Jack and nodded. "Good, because I think we have a lot to talk about. The agency doesn't know we are here, so nothing we say is on behalf of our agency, nor can we make any promises for them."

How are the stories coming along? There is one week left.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I'm not sure you guys know the meaning of 'small post' lol. That was not one.

@xenon

Does my post qualify as a small post?

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

In the seemingly safe office, Fenna handed Clarissa the cube when she asked to see it and watched her examine it. When Clarissa asked about where they got the cube, Fenna named the village and told her about the skeletons and ogres and how the cube had gotten into her possessions, and she added a warning that some kind of water ninja wanted to have it as well, although she wasn't sure the intrigued woman was paying much attention to what she said as her eyes were glued on the cube.

Fenna couldn't answer the second question, but now that she didn't need to focus on scouting ahead and dealing with wolves on their way to the Mazy Hillocks as they crossed the territory of two wolf packs, then traversing the treacherous Mazy Hillocks and fighting three different enemies back to back, she remembered something that happened that morning, although it seemed ages ago after all the fighting since then. After she had first made their group aware of the wolves, Lilliana had also shared a concern, although at the time it was less pressing than the immediate dangers around them, and while she had heard it, it had been pushed to the back of her mind.

She turned to Liliana. "Didn't you say you thought you knew what it was and who made it when we were on our way to the Mazy Hillocks?"

I have received the first entry.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Fenna listened to the explanation of the gold contract. It sounded doable, especially if they could take a moment to rest and maybe practise a little bit. Fighting with a spear had been a new experience and she had done so almost instinctively, but practising would definitely improve her skill. She hadn't even used the longbow that had been in her... stone box yet. She refused to call it what it looked like most – a coffin implied she died and she had no recollection of that. As far as she knew, she was just transported here, somehow.

When James suggested waiting until the next day to go to the Academy, she felt the weight of the cube pressing down on her. Would she have to keep it with her all night, hoping the water ninja wouldn’t try and take it from her? Lilliana had almost died carrying the cube around. She shared a look of concern with MacKensie and it was a relief to see her fellow ranger wasn’t thrilled about it either.

She went down with Mackensie to hear what James had to say, nodding at Joji after he said he would be back soon, and once everyone was on the same page, she headed out to the academy.

The walk up the Citadel Mountain was hard – it had been a long day and she felt her body protest against even more physical activity, but if she wanted to have any rest that night she needed to get rid of the cube. Let the people of the Academy examine it, guard it, eat it for all she cared. She couldn’t help herself glance around for any signs of the ninja while walking towards the Academy.

The impressive building made Fenna pause and take in the details. The grand arch that served as entrance had many coloured lanterns, fuelled by… magic, if she had to guess. It looked more like electrical lights as they had back home instead of a flame, and seeing there was no electricity here, they had to be fueled by magic somehow.

She stepped onto a hexagon-shaped courtyard surrounded by buildings that reminded her of Gothic or Baroque architecture; a large fountain in the middle drew her attention - the white basin was decorated with what looked to be sea creatures. The statue of a woman who undoubtedly had meant something to this country - or this academy at the very least - was even more impressive with her eyes on the entrance as if she watched over this place. The people meandering or hasting across the courtyard gave them barely any attention. A small group was philosophizing about life, someone was reading on a bench, a young woman ran across with her arms full of books, and two swordfighters were examining a sword one of them had purchased.

“Excuse me,” she said to a man wearing robes – he seemed like the kind of person to work here. “We are looking for someone called Clarissa Shields, we were sent by Lucinda Bottrill from the Adventures Guild. We have a letter.” She gestured to Adam, who had taken the letter as per James’s suggestion, or instruction. “Could you please tell us where we can find her?”

The man was kind enough to send them to the main building at the top of the courtyard, and she looked at her companions before thanking the man and heading in that direction. Once inside the main building, she noticed a group of four talking to each other, they seemed busy with something, but maybe they could help them further.

“Excuse me,” Fenna said once again. “We are looking for someone called Clarissa Shields, we were sent by Lucinda Bottrill from the Adventures Guild. We have a letter for her and a mysterious cube that needs to be investigated, of which we can only explain how it got into our possession.”

Michael wasn't sure if he was ready to talk with Arceus about this, nor was he sure that now was the best time to plan a fun trip with Arceus's offspring. "I'm not exactly sure what to ask him..." he said, giving a nervous glance to Arceus. "My home region is not next on the list, I don't know when I'll be able to show you two what it looks like. I'd love to, don't get me wrong, I just..." he wasn't even sure how to finish that sentence.

"They are fire types," Netherlu commented. "Of course they'll be gorgeous." He gestured to himself. "I mean, we have evidence for that statement right here." He winked playfully at Nygari.

Benny had first gone to Andy and then flew to the gathered group. "What a party," the Butterfree said. "It looks like we'll be leaving soon, I heard Andy talk about it to Mindy. Bear and Merlin are actually napping now, can you believe it? I'm going to tell Arceus the nectar was suburb. Or am I not allowed to approach him?" Benny looked at the three legendary Pokémon to see what they had to say about it.
