This new shop is run by a young Glaceon. She's a powerful medium, capable of allowing someone to both speak with and see a loved one that they've lost. Though she wishes she could do it for free, her "trainer" Aranelle needs the money.

Ombreon hesitantly walked in in her human form, looking around.

"Hey there," Wentrix said. "Not really much to see here."

Ombreon nodded. "I hear you offer strong medium services."

"I do. It'll cost you $15. After you pay, you can speak to as many people as you want for as long as you want. Just don't distract me or they'll disappear."

She nodded and took fifteen dollars out of her pocket, placing it on the counter.

"All right. Now just imagine the person or people you want to see and put your hand on my head."

She imagined her parents and put her hand on Wentrix' head.

A blue glow surrounded Wentrix as the flaps on her head levitated and Om's parents appeared.

Ombreon smiled sadly when Sakala and Fanuko appeared. "Mom...Dad..." She began chatting with them in rapid Hachian.

Wentrix smiled, but concentrated on keeping the connection up.

Ombreon talked with her parents for an hour, then bidded them farewell.

The glow and levitating stopped. "I'm glad I could help you," Wentrix said.

"I'm glad you feel that way. I've had this power for a long time. I'm not sure why I kept it a secret until now."

She nodded. "I will." she bowed and left.

Shea lead Toax, Saik and Alexis up to the shop. "Here we are," she said.

Wentrix saw them, then turned to face them, her large belly clearly visible. "Ah hello. You've come to speak with a lost loved one?"

"I' am going to go pick up some supplies quickly," Toax said. "I will return shortly." He bowed to Alexis, then walked off with Saik.
"Men!" Shea said with a shake of her head. She looked at Wentrix. "Well, she is." She flicked her tail at Alexis.

"Ok. Please don't blame me if I can't quite do it though. The further back the person died, the harder it is for me to maintain a link, not to mention it's difficult to concentrate with the little ones moving inside me."
"It's all right," Alexis said. "All I ask is that you try."
"Certainly. The usual rate is $15, but I'll only charge you 10 in case I drop the ball."
"That's agreeable."
"Put your hand on my head and think of the person or people you want to talk to. I'll do my best to connect you." Alexis nodded and put her hand on Wentrix's head."

Wentrix tried to concentrate and the blue glow surrounded her, but before anything appeared, the glow faded. "I'm sorry. I just can't concentrate with these babies moving constantly. I can't make her appear."
"Can you at least let me speak to her without seeing her?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't unless you can find a way to make them hold still." Wentrix's ears drooped. "Maybe I should close up shop until their born."
Alexis took out her ocarina. "Maybe this will work. I've managed to use some angelic powers through this thing before." She began to play a lullaby which spread throughout the room. It wasn't powerful enough to affect adults, but she hoped that upon hearing it, the unborn babies would rest.
"Wow. You really managed to put them to sleep," Wentrix said. "Ok. Let's try this again." Alexis put her hand back on Wentrix's head and the glow surrounded them again. Alexis' friend appeared in front of her.
"It's really you, Ruth."

"Ruth. I need to know. Where is the other half of our ocarina? I've been searching for years now."
"Atop the highest mountain in the area there's a hidden entrance to a cave. Inside the cave rests the other half."

"You'll have to play a song to reveal the entrance. Listen carefully." Ruth played a song on the ocarina she had. "Remember that well."

"It was great seeing you again, Ruth."
"Likewise. Don't be in any hurry to join me, Alexis."
"I won't." The vision faded. "Thank you, Wentrix," Alexis said.
"Not a problem. That's why I opened this business."
