Once they reached the hut however, It's outermost design betrayed what was inside, Outside It looked like a simple, run-down, old Beach hut, but what was inside was astounding. The place was Neat, Tidy, and Spotless, It was well-kept on the inside, and there was also a Stone stairway leading into the ground. Nicely aligned Stones turned to Solid stone as we entered a tunnel of sorts. It was well-kept too, with Torches, lit and burning brightly, and the stone pathways floor was without dust. We followed it, as our curiosity got the better of us. The only one who didn't seem to be in complete awe, was Taai. He had an odd expression on his face, almost as if..He knew the place. We followed closely, Taai side-carrying Gardy, whom had not fully recovered from their spar, and I held Zorua on my back, who decided she was at home and went to sleep on me after healing. "It appears we don't have much farther, There's a large opening up-ahead," Taai said. I nodded as I smelled flames, and oddly, the smell of fresh flowers and Roasted apples. My stomach growled loudly, as Zorua fell off my back. She was startled by the loud noise from under her and Fell, landing on her back. Everyone turned to face me and Zorua looked over towards me. "Sorry..Haven't eaten all day guys.." I said with a embarrassed chuckle. Taai sighed, and then looked over smiling. "C'mon, There'll be food where we are heading." He said, as He turned and continued down the tunnel. Zorua churned as she rocked to get back on her paws, as she sighed. "Shay, Can I get a hand?" She asks, looking defeated. "Sure, I'll help ya." I say, as I nudge her with my shoulder so she can stand up and then lift her from under her, as I carry her, Catching up to Gardy and Taai, as I notice Mew is missing. "Where is Mew?" I ask, my voice having a hint of anxiety. "She's up ahead, That's why you smell Roasted apples, She has a knack for finding the best apples." Taai states, as He doesn't look back or appear to be focusing in any way. He appeared..Distant..
