[color=D1D0CE]If only Lumi knew what the Sage Stones were. It would have saved them a lot of trouble with guessing what had happened down there. She had learned legends of the Sage Stones and how they granted Pokemon great power. But every time they did, it would come with a twist. What twist was that? Did that mean they'd have to protect he Sage Stones forever, like a knight to a king? She tipped her head over at her brother, her maw tightening slightly as she listened to him speak. Maybe they [i]should[/i] check Ember Cave out. There was a voice that nagged at the back of her head, suggesting that this might not be so much of a good idea. But the thought quickly vanished under the pretense that they were to be actual [i]explorers.[/i] Working in the dark and sneaking around, but explorers nonetheless!

She glanced over at Sora, her eyes widening slightly in warning. The less that everyone else knew about this, the better. [/color]
