Of course! The odds to recover it are better the quicker you can get it to the surface. Although sounding very simple, it's a long way down there from where you are. It won't be an easy feat.

You carefully reel the hook lifting the nest slowly, realizing how heavy it was before it took off from the branch that snaps off into the world below. It steadily stays still from a quarter length, until you sense a whistle of a stiff breeze passing through! The string now sways unstably, there's no guarantee it'll endure!

...Is what'd happen if you didn't pick up the pace. Knowing that it's too late to turn back, you hasten the reel despite it swaying like a clock, and successfully bring the nest to safety! However, most of its contents were missing but one egg and a piece of cloth. They must've unfortunately fell in the process...

Obtained a Peculiar Egg!

So what was hidden above the clouds shrouding the escalator's end? The two guards back there hinted a civilization--a savored haven for citizen and traveler alike. Though the sense of relief is abound, it can't be helped to feel uneasy for failing to save the rest.

But it wasn't all for nothing either, nobody knows what will befall to the last one were you didn't become curious for a day. Granted with a new responsibility, you wrap the egg with the cloth from the nest. As soon as the blowing wind subsides, you prepare to ascend above via the Golden Bridge.

Ch. 35: The Unnecessarily Surreal City

Location: Sky Highlands -> New Volmia

Slowly ascending the obscuring clouds while listening to an automatically-playing jazz music, the area eventually takes a visible form. Sitting atop the stratospheric clouds, glimmering in golden blurs, the imposing continent appears before your entrance at the end of the Golden Bridge.

You take off from the escalator to land at the grassy plains and notice a large, opened gate across the gargantuan wall surrounding the inner site. This must be the entrance to the city, you proceed further and see two guards in similar light-blue uniforms stationed in between their posts, facing at each other as if they're having a talk before noticing your presence.

"Hey! You over there!" One of them shouts, "No one's allowed to be outside at this hour!"
"Precisely!" The other follows, "You're not going to try anything funny, right? Then you better get back here before we decide to arrest you!"

"Yeah, that's right! No need for reasons, we already have you fined for suspicious activity." He says as he comes closer to your direction, holding an electrified baton while grinning mockingly. "We demand

10000 for what happened today, including the grass you stepped on and fee for clothes that's going to fit your dumb look even more. You're not going to run anywhere even if you try, so you better pay the price."

"Hmm, let's see..."

1. "Sure, I'll pay you up."
2. "How about we play a game of rock-paper-scissors?"
3. Hear what the mighty fishing rod has to say.

 

[XNaut]

3. Let's see where this goes.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

2. Can we get more ties than Mordecai and Rigby from Regular Show?

 

[Meadow]

Our great fishing rod overlord can talk...?! OMG!! Let's hear what our deity has to say, then! :D

#3

 

[noa]

1. I'd like to go to the sarcastic route.

 

[Satire]

3. Let the fishing rod speak, for Pete's sake.

 

[Hyzenthlay]

By letting the fishing rod "do the talking", I have the impression that we're going to beat those two guards silly with it. xD

Option #3!

 

[Lycanthropy]

#3 Oh, almighty Lord Fishing Rod, share with us your knowledge.

 

[DrPeegFaartz]

New here! Man, the story is awesome so far. I had to read all the 34 chapters, just after reading the first one. Time? I have a lot of free time today coz there's an exam tomorrow.

Let Chansey do the talking
Challenge them to a Pokemon duel
3. If it can call upon a Mantine, and can catch an egg, then surely it can talk and convince the two guards too.

(Hope this thread isn't closed yet)

 

[Kolar™]

3, lets hear our mighty rod out.

1. "Sure, I'll pay you up."

Sorry, I'm late. It's time for some sarcasm, people. :v
