Deep down in the temple, where it is dark and quiet and few have ever gone, Armin and Jonathan are going to meet him.
The Relicanth is gigantic, easily four times as big as the other members of his species that swim around him. His giant body moves slowly, covered with a long lifetime of scars and the points of his cheekbones have grown long, trailing beneath him almost like a grandfather's moustache. There is no telling quite how old this beast is, but that it is old is beyond question.
And perhaps it is that age, or perhaps it is the temple, or perhaps it is something entirely different altogether, but Jonathan and Armin are going to have to contend with a voice inside their heads, a voice that sounds like the creaking of ancient rocks and the whisper of time itself.
Why have you come here?
Treasures: Should Jonathan and Armin manage to make a favourable impression on the ancient Relicanth
Jonathan will receive a fairly large stone tablet. Some damage has been done to it, primarily in the lowest left corner, but the rest is still fairly intact. The writing on the tablet, however, is unlike any that is known in this world -- a truly lost language.
Armin will receive a small mechanical model. It has been crafted to resemble the pokemon Magearna (or was this perhaps, an early prototype made by the creators of Magearna?). The small model, though no life exists inside it, can move in a very delicate manner. Truly an amazing example of clockwork technology!
In addition, the Relicanth will clear away some sand from the floor of the room to reveal
