Rogue gazed at the Destiny Knot he had obtained from the hooded Pokemon and said, "I've been meaning to ask, who is this Exodus everyone's talking about?" Before Fern could answer Illovue interrupted, saying, "Hey, guys, I think we should continue our trek to Askorun and then begin talking." Rogue and the others nodded and went back on their way to the Wastes. Rogue asked the question once again and waited for Fern's answer.

"I see..." Rogue looked at the ground for a while and began to think to himself, "I guess finding Klutz's parents isn't the only thing we're going to be doing." Suddenly, Rogue felt something land on his antennae, it was snow! "Oh! It's snowing everyone! I think we're close to the northern part of Grandis Woods!" Rogue couldn't wait to get to Askorun, not only for the fact that Klutz's parents could be there, but because he had never seen the place, or snow and ice for that matter. "Maaa-unch-munch!" Klutz giggled and rolled in the snow, "Snow! Snooooow!" Rogue smiled and laughed, he knew that when Klutz was happy, everything was good. "I think we're here~!" They entered the Pine-filled pathway, it was cold but it was beautiful. After a short rest the group moved on deeper into the forest and noticed the ground beginning to shake, it only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to startle group. "What in the world was that?" Rogue asked, "I think it was a small tremor." answered Illovue. She then added, "But was it a natural one?" she asked. "I'm not sure, Illovue."

The odd tremors were becoming more and more common and louder as the group ventured into the forest. They were curious as to what was causing them.

((Okay, Flarsable, let's stop copy-pasting and get back to typing!))

"Wild magic? Sounds dangerous. I would consider a detour, though, but I don't know any other route to the Askorun Wastes." Rogue said. "Maybe I can be of some assistance." Rogue and the others turned their heads to the sound of the voice. "Hee hee, remember me?" A hooded Pokemon emerged from the snow-covered pines, "Oh! It's you! You're the one that gave me that old Destiny Knot." Rogue pulled out the Destiny Knot from his satchel, "Ah ha! See?" Rogue endearingly stretched his palm out. "You're correct, Rogue. Say, are those new friends of yours?" The Pokemon motioned at Fern and Lead. "Mhm! That's Fern, and that's Lead." The hooded Pokemon smiled and giggled, "Hee hee, I told you that the Destiny Knot would knit destinies together. Anyway, hello Fern and Lead. Nice to meet you." The Pokemon waved at Fern and Lead. "You know, you never told me your name. What was it?" "Oh, I apologize, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Dhani." Dhani removed her hood and revealed her face. "So you're a Froslass..." Rogue said, "That's right, my home isn't far from here. And coincidentally, it is located in Askorun. Come, follow me there." Dhani led through a secret path that only she knew of. "So Dhani, what were you doing at the hive?" Rogue asked. "Ah, I was passing by when I was caught and held prisoner by the Combee soldiers. You see, I'm a nomad. I have no permanent home and travel quite a bit. It gets a bit lonely at times, but I can manage." Dhani sighed contently and said, "So Rogue, what brings you and your friends out here?"

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, my friends and I are looking for Klutz's parents. You see, I found him a long time ago when he just an egg, I never got to see or find his parents." Rogue looked down at the ground. "Oh, how sad. But I'm sure you'll find his parents someday, and perhaps... something more." Dhani had an air of mystery around her, she was calm and cool as ice, Rogue had certainly never met anyone like her. "Er... I guess." Rogue said, "Ha ha, you make me laugh, Rogue."

Dhani smiled and hummed as they continued.

((Actually, I let him post again, but to be honest, I only said it so I didn't offend you (Soble) or anything. Sorry.))

Dhani stopped and replied, "Excuse me? I've never seen you before. Are you saying I know you from somewhere?"

"Vintage Lake? ...Hm, I've been there once but I don't remember ever seeing you, but if you say so."

As the group went on the scenery began to change. No longer were there lush pine forests, but ice, lots of ice. The ground was frozen and slippery, barely any life was visible, and the cold winds were freezing. Dhani didn't mind the cold because she was an Ice-type, but Rogue, Illovue, and Volvue however, couldn't stop shaking. The cold temperature was very hard on the Bug-types. "I-It's s-so cold... but this change of scenery is new and beautiful in way." Rogue's body shook like an earthquake, he could barely fly because of it, but that didn't take his spirits down. Volvue hated to sound childish, but he asked anyway, "Um, D-Dhani, are we almost t-there? I can't t-take this temperature..." "Don't worry, Volvue, we'll be there soon, just be patient."

Out of nowhere, the winds began to get stronger and stronger and Dhani felt an eerie presence, "I can feel it..." Dhani thought, "Crux... is here." Dhani suddenly stopped and said, "I know you're here. Stop hiding and come out, coward!" There was a moment of silence, nothing responded. "Dhani, What's going on?" Rogue asked. Dhani ignored Rogue and shouted, "I said come out! I know it's you... Crux." The area around the group began to get dark, suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Foul luft... choke fienden med förtvivlan, förmörka deras sinne, tryck på deras andetag..." The voice echoed throughout the area repeatedly. "Everyone! Listen to me! Just stand still and close your eyes no matter what. I'll deal with this." "Stop hiding, Crux! I know you're here... Ice Shard!" Dhani blasted a flurry of ice shards in the distance. "Grr... I missed."

Suddenly, the voice appeared again and said, "Oroa dig inte, Dhani. Jag är inte här för att lägga sig med dig, jag är här för att leverera ett budskap ... från Andra Mosebok.

"Gå till den låsta topp och besegra 8 generaler, det vill jag testa dina kunskaper och vässa dem för svårt prov."

Det var ett budskap från Andra Mosebok själv. Farväl, Dhani, skall jag se dig snart." "W-Wait! I want to speak--... to you..." The thick, heavy feeling in the air lifted away and whoever the voice was was gone.

"Who... who was that?" asked Rogue, "That was... Crux, he's an old friend of mine." answered Dhani, "Friend? He doesn't seem too... uh, friendly. His presence felt so uncomfortable." "That's because he is a Mismagius. They have a special power of being able to imbue their words with magic." "I see. Say... what was the language he was speaking?" "Ah, it's an ancient language that only his family line knows of. I'm not sure what it's called, though. And to be honest, I'm not even sure of his background." "But you said he was a friend." "He is, but he was always very distant from others, except for me. I was an exception, but even so I still know very little about him." Dhani closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "We're lucky we didn't have to battle him, he could've severely damaged our minds." "Oh man... he sounds dangerous." "He is very dangerous. After all, he is one of the Eight Generals." Rogue tilted his head, "Eight Generals?" Dhani nodded, "Yes. They are special Pokemon that Exodus hand-picked to help with his army of Shadow Pokemon. I've heard the names of the seven, but the eighth is unknown to me." Dhani sighed, "Can you tell us their names?" Rogue asked, "Certainly. They are: Crux, Apus, Equuleus, Gemini, Indus, Lyra, and Perseus." "Even their names sound intimidating..."

Dhani looked to the north and said, "I believe we should continue on. My home is near here, when we get there we will rest at last." The group was relieved to hear those very words.

"That's very interesting, Fern." Dhani complimented, "Crux was always a troublemaker. He would scare away all the children with little dolls that he claimed were made of dead Pokemon skin. He was so twisted sometimes. I worry about his mental health..." Dhani clasped her hands together and looked as though she was praying, "Have mercy on his poor soul, O Original One." She thought to herself.

"Um, Dhani, sorry to interrupt you, but I think your home is just up ahead!" Rogue pointed to a small igloo-looking hut, oddly though, a fire was lit right near it as though someone else were living there. "Hm? I certainly do not remember lighting a fire..." Dhani looked a bit worried, what if bandits had taken a liking to her home? The only way to find out was to look inside.

Dhani and the others entered the hut. "Hello? Is anyone here?" asked Rogue. "Oh! Rogue there's someone over there! I believe he's... meditating." Rogue approached the meditating Pokemon, who resembled an Alakazam, "Um... excuse me, but this hut is, um, taken." The Pokemon didn't respond, he just sat there... motionless. "Um... sir? Sir? SIR!!" Rogue poked the Pokemon and the Pokemon reacted, "Silence, child!" He whacked Rogue's head with a spoon, "Can you not tell that I am trying to focus?" He said with an irritated tone, "Ouch! Ohh, sorry... oof..." Rogue backed away and held his head in pain, "I'm so sorry about that, sir, we didn't realize you were occupied." Dhani's cheeks became very embarassed, "It's fine, next time remember to control him, please." "Will do. May I ask for your name?" Dhani asked, "I am Rufus. A scholar specializing in myths, legends, and history. I know many things about Bombur and its past." "A scholar, you say? Maybe you can help us. Would you happen to know anything about The Eight Generals?" Rufus's eyes widened, "Ah, so wish to know more of The Eight Generals, hm? Ha! I'd be glad to tell you! Why, the one thing I enjoy more than anything is sharing my knowledge!" "Ah! That's great!" Rufus cleared his throat and began, "The Eight Generals... they are an elite group of Pokemon who have been granted the power to control Shadow Pokemon without having to be one themselves. They are also considered to be in a league higher than that of a Gork. The names of The Eight Generals are Crux, Apus, Equuleus, Gemini, Indus, Lyra, Perseus, and Orion. Orion was the most powerful of them all, that is, until he vanished. Many say that Exodus killed Orion himself because he uncovered a dark secret that Exodus was hiding." "A dark secret?" Rogue thought, "I wonder what is was." Rufus continued, "The remaining seven are still alive from what I've heard. Currently, they are looking for a Pokemon worthy enough to become the Eighth General. Anyway, each General is known for a special talent or power. Crux is said to know a secret, dark language that is imbued with hideously dangerous black magic, Apus is said to be the greatest flying Pokemon ever. Equuleus can manipulate water to his will, Gemini is said to have two halves of equally dangerous power, Indus is said to be a skilled marksman, Lyra can use her voice to manipulate others and force them to do her will, Perseus is said to have extreme physical strength, and Orion was said to be some sort of druid." Rufus paused, then continued, "I hope this information was of use to you." "It certainly was!" said Dhani, "By the way, do you know of the Eight Tests?" Rufus put one of his spoons onto his head and replied, "Ah, yes, I certainly do. The Eight Tests are, as the name implies, eight challenges said to be held at the Mount Pinnacle Summit in the Majestic Peak. The tests are said to be extremely difficult and were used to hone one's skills. Many stories tell of The Hero's, or so they are called, that are supposed to go to the Summit and hone their skills to defeat darkness. They say that the stone doors to the tests haven't been opened in fifty-thousand years."

"Wow, what interesting tales." Volvue commented, "I'd love to learn more from you. Perhaps, maybe, I could become an... apprentice?" Rufus chuckled, "Ha! It's nice to see young people so enthusiastic about learning! Surely you understand that being my apprentice will require strenuous learning and training." Volvue smiled, "I understand, Rufus. So is it a yes?" Rufus chuckled, "Ah ha ha ha! Yes, yes it does! Ha ha!" "Alright! Ha ha!" Volvue and Rufus laughed together. "Heh, congrats, Volvue." Illovue smiled.

The group decided to stay at Dhani's home for the night and wait 'till tomorrow to decide where they were going to head next.

Rufus, Fern, Lead, Rogue, Illovue, and Volvue were having a discussion about the Majestic Mountains. After greeting each other and after hearing Fern's thoughts, Rufus said, "Hm..." Rufus put his palm to is chin, "I certainly have, Fern. If we are to go to the Majestic Mountains and take the tests, we must be prepared. This adventure will not be easy. It will take its toll from us." Rufus squinted, then turned to Rogue, "But what of the Klutz, Rogue? He is still very young and this trek to the peak will certainly be detrimental to his health, are you sure you want to take him with us?" Rogue looked at Klutz, sleeping right beside him, and replied, "Yes, I do. He may be young, but I'm sure he can handle this, after all, he's very intelligent and can fend for himself. I'm sure he'll be fine as long as we're with him." "I see... is everyone in agreement about going to the Majestic Mountains?" There was a short pause, then the others shouted, "Yes!". "Then it has been decided, we are to head to the Majestic Mountains tomorrow. Get some rest, for this will be a long and difficult journey."

The group prepared themselves for the adventure, although Volvue was nervous, as usual, about the adventure.

"That is a good idea, Fern. Does everyone agree to go on this route?" Rufus asked. "I do." Answered Rogue, "Yeah, me too." Illovue agreed, "I'm with Illovue all the way!" Volvue said excitedly. "Good! Then we are to depart to the Majestic Mountains tomorrow."

"Why don't you wait tomorrow, Lead? I mean, it's really late right now and it would be better if you got some sleep." Rogue suggested, "Yes, Rogue is right. We all need to get as much rest as we can tonight. 'Lest we be too exhausted to go on tomorrow." Replied Rufus.
