This was where one could find the eldest of the Weather Trio; by venturing to the top rather then the caverns of the Cave of Origin. Now, the Ocean God, or the good of the storm as some may call him, could be found here as well, for a time.
He sits; arms shackled above him with red chains that almost seemed to burn—though maybe it was just raw skin from struggling before he finally decided to give up and allow a deep sigh to leave him. He didn’t have to look up to see his brother standing at the doorway to the section of the pillar he was confined in, like a prisoner. Arceus gave no time as to when Marea would be free…as he suspected.

“I just wanted my brother back. The brother who was kind to me, who was so amazed by the first rainfall I created…Just as much as I wanted my wife to return to me. But I was blinded by so much rage that I…well…I deserve this punishment, don’t you agree?”
