“I need to get used to this,” Saint sighs. He’s back at his previous spot, sitting nearby the shrine. By some miracle, his spine hasn't turned into pasta from fatigue. And from the last battle. Gumball and Vulpix are both playing at his feet, both being rambunctious and occasionally jumping over his legs as if they were trampolines.
Safe to say, after getting crushed by a Duraludon, Saint can’t train his expression to be placid. Everything hurts. Everything is pain. He dreads to think of his next encounters—with Duraludon, with Kazuki. |

Verai often sat by the tree, breathing in the autumnal scents. Kitten had gone asleep, sprawled out on her side. Sometimes he prayed for the guardian's health and peace, and sometimes he prayed for his team's health. Sometimes, though, he simply sat, and took in the serenity of the shrine. And that, too, could be a prayer. |

Silvermoon liked the Noonlight Shrine. It was their go-to place, when things got too much.
They'd, um, been spending a lot of time there, recently.
"Work's, um, it's not- it's not getting worse." They said, to Moltres. Silvermoon knew she wasn't really listening, but it... it was still someone to talk to. "I... I just can't get myself to focus? Even on things I think are fun..." Sometimes it was hard to read, or log into UNOVR, or text their friends. That wasn't normal, right? But they had no time to see someone, really, so...
Silvermoon paused, and fished in their bag for a pokeball- the one Verai had first given them. They let the ponyta out, who tossed their head and shook out their mane. "Um... I know I haven't... seen you a lot." At all. Shame flushed in their face, but they forced themselves to keep going. "But I- I really hope you can be happy on my team? I- I've never taken care of horses before, so I might not know what to do, but-"
Silvermoon was cut off by the ponyta pressing against them, head butting gently against their chest. Silvermoon blinked, and fought to not cry, wrapping themselves around the ponyta in a hug.

It was embracing to say the least. Yet, the wolf woman didn’t really care. It had to be done. Pale golden rose flickered over the tree, keeping her head low and her mouth shut. She knelt down at the base of the three, offering up her froakie to be healed by the powers of the shrine. |

A hand presses against the tree, sliding up smooth bark until reaching one of the lower branches. There, while no one is looking, he plucks a leaf... and another... and another. Then leaves, placed in a sealed bag. For what purpose? Well, that's for Yuze to know and for you to wonder.
After this is done, he makes sure the tree healed him still (he hadn't come here just for the leaves, obviously), and only then does he return to the forest, disappearing among birches.

Silvermoon, when they had the time, always went to Noonlight. Precipice felt ominous, like there was always a presence. The Giant Shrine simply... wasn't there, anymore, so that left Noonlight. "I might have made another friend, today." Silvermoon said, looking up at the slumbering Moltres. "I think they're new... Hopefully I can help them, at least a little." |

Carrying Kaede into the Shrine, Mizumi looked around a tad nervously before his gaze settled on the tree. Oh wow. He had heard stories of the shrines from others, but had never had a chance to see one for himself. Seeing it now.. well, part of him was thankful he could enjoy this moment. No voices in his ear or TTS reading off memes. Instead, it was still and silent. The tree burned with life and Mizumi ached to touch the leaves but knew better. Instead, he approached and knelt by the shrine. He said a small prayer that his parents taught him as a boy, of when paying respects to the deceased, but then he paired another. A verbal prayer where he thanks the powers that would be for the Vulpix he has met, and hopes to curry their favor in making Kaede into the tank she wants to be. Once this was over, he carefully picked up the sleepy girl and left the shrine, warmly smiling. |

It was awfully early into the fight to need to heal, but they had been travelling for a while before it began, so were a little tired from the journey. Tam figured it was probably better safe than sorry, when it came to getting patched up!
It never hurt to take an extra rest, but it certainly hurt to fail to do so!

Taylor certainly wasn’t too proud to go heal, and as a blow landed soundly against the side of her skull, she’d left to do so. Staggering towards the shrine now, she began to seriously question if she might have a concussion. Was that possible? As the world spun around her, she realised it probably didn’t really matter if it was possible, if she was already feeling the effects! |

Aero yawned as she walked to the shrine in Route 1. It has been a while since she visited once ever since that Zapdos stole one at Surge Steppe and her first trek into Beta Island. She has no plans to catch a Pokemon for today. However, it never hurts to heal up in case of emergencies. Not to mention her being inducted into the Mythstar Guild made her excited about the future prospects for this game. That also includes some possibilities regarding her other subclass, with which she has some ideas.
Either way, she stretched her arms and once the healing was done, she was off to explore UNOVR once more. |

Ignoring the way his messages ping, Saint returns to Noonlight Shrine for a breather. He lets his pokemon play under the glowing leaves and the iridescent shade of the slumbering Moltres, and takes some time to sit, close his eyes, and simply enjoy the peace.
It’s curious. They even got the scent of autumn right. He wishes, sorely, that he could visit the sea. He misses the bright embrace of the sun. |

Saint is lying down on the ground, on his face. He can feel the warm rays hitting his back. It is therapeutic.
“Gumball…” comes his muffled voice. “Gumball, cut that out. I’m too tired for this.”
Gumball pauses where he’s using his trainer as a makeshift treadmill. He looks over to Vulpix, who’s sitting by and relaxing as well, emanating a comforting warmth. The fox nudges her nose, insisting that he keep going.
Gumball proceeds to bounce on Saint’s back, because nothing beats a patented Popplio petrissage! |

Some people will tell you that fall is a beautiful season. Yuze, though? He thinks it's damn depressing. Yes, he's one of THOSE people. The kind that see fallen leaves as reminders of death and yada yada yada. He doesn't like the Noonlight Shrine, even if Moltres is obviously a phoenix and represents the eternal cycle of life, and all of that. Why is he here, then? Well... maybe because he's not particularly against reminders of death and depressing things, or maybe...
All living things die. But not here. Not really. This was all programmed to be this way. That is the beauty of it. The digital space is — for the most part — eternal.

It had been a while. The last thing that King wanted to do was hang around a shrine, but it was a necessary part of the game mechanics. After all, if he was going to be fighting, he should probably be fully healed first.
Sobek was beside him once again, and the presence of the Totodile was genuinely comforting in a way. To him, it meant that he finally had enough free time to vent. The starter was less expressive than used to be, or was, until he suddenly spotted something and looked excited in a way that usually meant a big fight. King's gaze swung to observe the cause.
And he stopped and stared. He knew that there had been a Moltres event before he had joined the game way back, but he was pretty sure he had never seen the legendary pokemon herself. He kind of wanted to see if he could fight it too. "Not this time, Sobek," He reluctantly decided.
Maybe when he had that Gyarados army, he decided. For now, he was simply here to heal, if he needed it. He couldn't remember what his HP had been when he had last been on, so better safe than sorry, considering he had skipped some basic tutorials.
He pressed his hands to the tree, |

"Finally here, sleepy head." Mizumi kissed Kaede's forehead as he walked into the shrine. Approaching the beautiful tree, he looked it over a moment before settling down beside the tree. He sat down and crossed his legs, mindful of the skirt which was shorter than needed. The stats weren't great, but it was by far the cutest. Setting Kaede into his lap, he started to softly hum and pet her. "You did so amazing, Kaede... don't worry, we're gonna go back there and kick it's butt. You're super tough, just gotta get you a bit stronger.." His eyes softened as he said this. Things his father taught him when he cried after long training sessions. Kaede yawned, nuzzling into the skirt and Mizumi giggled. "Hi cutie.. let's rest here a bit, okay? Sleep well." |
