Something Is Shining In The Depths
The shores of the usually-serene Azure Abyss were bustling with activity! Rose had set up a small camp to form a base of operation for her studies of the local environment. Silvershade had come for a visit, curious to see if anything was going on with the Minimals in the area. And -- of course -- Adventurers from far and wide had gathered, busily casting their lines into the gleaming pool to pull out the piles of fishing trash clogging the water.
They had made some great progress. Thousands of pieces of trash had already been removed!
Even though the Abyssal Monster still hadn't reappeared, Rose thought it was time to see if their efforts were having any effect.
Rose picked up a notebook and pen and, with Dex at her side, went to peer into the lake. The luminous blue-and-violet waters certainly looked clearer. In fact, Rose thought she could finally see the very bottom...
"Fascinating!" She said, scribbling down some notes. "There's something down there that we haven't seen before. It's shiny and reflective...maybe some kind of rare crystal? Or ore?"
The shiny objects had caught Dex's attention too. The Harlowin splashed into the shallows and ducked underwater, paddling with its clawed feet to try and swim to the bottom. Rose watched Dex's figure waver and shrink a little as the Harlowin descended -- but the bottom was deeper than it looked! After only a little while, Dex twisted in the water and gave one mighty flap of its wings to propel itself back to the surface.
"Nice try, Dex," Rose praised her companion as the Harlowin clambered onto shore and shook the water from its scales. "But I think it's just too deep for you." If only she had another pet, one who lived in water!
Silvershade had watched the attempt unfold thoughtfully. They walked up to Rose and Dex, waving to get their attention.
"Hi, Professor Clearwater," Silvershade greeted Rose. "I couldn't help but notice your friend's predicament, there." They nodded at Dex with a smile.
"I've been thinking about it, and I think I've got something you might be interested to hear," Silvershade continued. "There's a certain Minimal I've heard of that I reckon could help out with your problem. I've never actually seen one myself, mind you. But once I get back to the Ranch, I could try to start tracking one down!"
"That would be wonderful. Thank you, Silvershade!" Rose said. "Please write to me should you discover anything useful. I'll be staying here until the mystery is solved."
"Will do," Silvershade nodded. "I'll get going now!"
Keep Fishing To Clear The Abyssal Lake
Great work, Adventurers! The waters of the Abyssal Lake are starting to clear up!
While Silvershade begins to investigate their mystery Minimal, we still have more work to do. If we can fish enough trash out of the pool, the ecosystem will start to return to balance and fish may begin to appear there again. Keep fishing -- the Abyssal Monster is counting on us!
