Chains rattle and the sounds of metal doors closing all around. Dinnus opens his eyes slowly. Looking around, he appears to be in a cave of some sort. The egg is tucked to his side.

“At least you’re safe.” Dinnus says to the egg. “For how long I do not know…”

“You are both safe. The cage was for our protection.” A female voice says. The sound seems to echo around the room. “We found you both in the remains of that town. For now rest, I will come see you later.”

Trees become blurs as Dinnus runs towards the smoke. It seems the forest had taken the earthquake rather well. Ahead, the smell of smoke and fear permeates the air.

The forest clears to reveal a large lake, and a burning village on the other side.

“I hope I’m not too late.” He says as he skirts the lake.

“Is anybody there?! Is anyone left inside?!” He calls as he runs down the main path of the village. “Call out if you can hear me!”

The door to Dinnus' cage opens. His head comes up as his ears turn to pick up any sound.

"You have been deemed not a danger, you are free to go." The same female voice says. "I apologize for keeping you Keeper. There is a door on the other side of the room. It has been unlocked and you may leave."

Dinnus tucks the egg into the cloth he had been using to carry it and stands. Taking the cloth into his jaws he slowly walks across the room and out the door. 'This is strange... They know my title.' As he exits the door it slams shut and Dinnus finds himself in the middle of a field. No signs of a building or door remained.

"We will see you again young Keeper. Keep safe the child you carry." The female voice says, sounding very distant.

"Where am I now? Maybe I can ask someone nearby." He says as he sets off. "Who was that thou-" Dinnus is cut off by the shaking of the egg.

Dinnus quickly sets down the egg and takes a few steps back. The egg rocks back and forth before a crack appears down the side. Then another, and another. Before finally the shell seems to fall apart around a small pink body. Dinnus approaches slowly, nosing the shell away from the child. "What in the world..." he says as the child sits up and utters a single cry. "Mew!" Dinnus blinks, "Oh boy."

The rumbling ground rouses Dinnus from his sleep. The egg tucked snugly to his chest. “What on earth is going on?” He gathers his unhatched charge into its cloth and carries it outside. Dust falls from the roof of his small cave as he walks. “An earthquake?”

A mystic voice floats through the air, calm and gentle…

“My children, your prayer was received by me most graciously. Please accept this token of my appreciation… I wish you great tidings in the future.”

A ball of light floated down… and:

A large bag of very rare berries appeared!

Dinnus watches as the light falls before him and the bag of berries appears.  “Huh, So they responded in kind.”  He smiles, “It’s good to know that they listen and still interact with us.”  The Egg he has his tail wrapped around begins to move around.  “These berries well help raise the next generation.  Thank you.”

Dinnus crisscrosses his way through the thick forest surrounding his current home, his egg tucked to his chest by a large cloth he had recently obtained.  As he reached the clearing that contained the small cave he slept in, the fur on his back stands on end.  “Something is wrong... Something I couldn’t handle alone.”  He ducks into his cave and set the egg down gently.  “I know this world has god or beings of the like that watch over it, so this time I leave it to them.”  He sits and looks out at the darkening sky, “If you can hear my prayer, help this world.  Protect the future, if not for us then for our young.” Dinnus looks down at his egg, “For the little ones.”

[Dinnus has returned from the Stargazing event and has sent his prayer for the future of the small life he now protects.]

Dinnus awakens to the early morning sunrise. He yawns and as he stretches out he feels something leaning against him. Looking down he finds an egg, how it got there he has no idea. “Hello?” He calls out, “Is anyone out there?” He waits but receives no reply. “Well little guy, I guess it’s just you and me. I just hope I can raise you right.” He grins at the egg as his tail curls around it for warmth. He looks out at the rising sun and sighs, “I missed this world.”

[Dinnus has been left an Egg! He has also been spotted around the fields of the Kalos region!]
