Chapter 4: One way in, a long way out.

It had been ten days since the female dragon had arrived on this strange land and so far there had been no "bad" days. The only problem was that Quilly had not let her do anything. Every day went by as she grew stronger and felt even more frustrated from lying on this uncomfortable rocky chair.

Looking out of, what she thought was a skylight; she could see only skies of blue and the beaming sun. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky like she was used to in her world. Even if she wanted to go outside into the beautiful clearing, Quilly just wasn't satisfied; even if all the pain Rachel had felt had fully faded away. She wouldn't stop worrying about the dragon injuring herself again.

Fine, the green dragon thought it was nice first off but after days of doing nothing wouldn't you often feel like doing something, no matter how dangerous it was. At first her boredom had turned to frustration, but then it turned to anger. The only thing was that the dragon didn't know why Quilly did it.

The next day her anger burst out like it was a balloon full of too much air. She leapt up from the stone sofa onto the soft dirt floors bright red carpet, and then she shouted at the worrying Quilava.

"Why do you do this to me?" the furious female dragon asked with a booming voice, not like Flins annoying voice which goes boom but a loud angry voice.

The pokémon just freaked out remembering something that had happened a long time ago. 'Why was this happening again? 'She thought. 'Why is it that everyone hates me, even when I try to help?' Instead of her replying she just ran, ran through the tunnel into the outside world, then into the deep dark forest. She wasn't going to be safe anymore and she knew it.

Rachel tried to run after her, not out of anger but because she hadn't expect a reaction that bad. Yes she wanted the pokémon to feel terrible but not make her leave its home. This made the dragon feel terrible for hurting her after she gave the grass dragon great hospitality.

She went after her once she found the way out. Once out into the opening she looked for tracks, though she didn't actually know what the squirrel like creatures prints looked like. Once she found an enormous trail of small prints which she could only describe as a little bit familiar, she set off.

Waking up from one of the 60 identical rooms, not including the end room, Camo tiredly approached the strange, engraved mirror. Looking through the glassy reflection he noticed his droopy leaves and tiredness in his eyes.

'How long had he been here?' he wondered as the sleep deprived dragon slowly walked down the corridor for, what he thought, was the hundredth time. He entered the large room through the large doorway just like before but he knew who to expect this time. Like always, he was greeted by Arceus but this time he asked "What are you here for?"

The confused legendary thought for a few minutes, not understand what he had just been asked. He uncertainly answered "I guess it was what I did in the great freedom war. I banished every human causing many pokémon to panic, not know what to do, and even kill them instead of living without a human partner. Then again, I did stop this terrible war. The only problem normally is that the light focuses on the bad points and tries to improve the world in any way it can, like trapping us here or stopping any evil, some way or another."

"So is that the 'terrible' feat you performed to get here."

"Either that or the fact I have locked up many of the legends powers with the help of others. I and Rayquaza trapped the powers of the legends, Kyogre and Groudon, but they were fighting for decades and were destroying the lands and the sea like the legend said. I nearly caused the end of the world one time but was stopped by a pokémon trainer which had time-travelled to stop me. "

For half an hour Arceus went on about his past, forgetting that they were still trapped. Camo kept listening, enjoying all these tales which were believable after all the journeys in Skylands he had done.

Butting in to the very interesting tales, he said "I have just realised how we can get out of here!"

"Why didn't you say sooner?"

He replied with a simple dragon shrug as he had no idea what made him think about it.
