Sticking to the river shore the group wends their way through the wilds all the time keeping an eye on the water. The occasional Gatorfol, or other creature is spotted watching from the water, tracking their progress, but none make an attempt to attack. Thus, the day passes with no major incidents. There is a brief commotion when a large snake, easily big enough to swallow a person whole, exits the river in front of the group and slithers across their path. It gives the Sheikah a passing glance sizing them up, but decides against a fight and continues on its way, leaving the Sheikah to go about theirs.
“We’re getting closer,” a seer reports to Impa as the expedition stops for the day. “The Twilight magic is very strong ahead, but we’ve also detected traces of it all around here. It’s as if the Twilight is bleeding out into the surrounding land. Look at this.” The seer says showing Impa a black, wilted looking plant. “It looks dead right? Now watch what happens when I put it in shadow.” Using a blanket, seer shades the plant and it almost immediately perks up. Faint red lines pulse to life on its surface and the plant itself seems to exude an aura very reminiscent of being in Twilight. “And have you noticed that as we’ve walked there has been much less wildlife?”
Impa had noticed a significant decrease in the normal sights and sounds of the wilds. Fewer birds and small animals had crossed their path in the daylight and now as the sun set when biting insects should be most active there are far fewer than on the previous night.
“I suspect we may see more effects of this bleeding of Twilight magic as we close in on its source Mistress.”
“Noted, keep your senses attuned to this Twilight magic seer and inform me of any changes in its intensity.” Impa says dismissing the seer.
