The Problem In The Abyss

"Thank you for coming on short notice," Eldrin greeted Rose with a polite bow as she approached the shore of the Azure Abyss, Dex loyally at her side.

"My pleasure," Rose replied. "I only hope I can help! Let's take a closer look at what could be happening."

The two approached the still waters, unnervingly calm.  Not a single ripple of movement appeared. The Abyssal Monster was still nowhere to be seen -- and according to Eldrin, it hadn't surfaced once in all the time it had taken for Rose to travel all the way from the Floating Pinnacles down to the Abyss.

"Very curious," Rose murmured deep in thought. "Has anything about its habitat changed recently?"

"Not to my knowledge," Eldrin replied. "The weather has been very mild, and the waters look as pristine as ever."

"Hmm. But then -- oh! Dex, what is it,?" Rose's train of thought was interrupted as her Harlowin, who had focused intently on the waters edge. Dex splashed into the shallows and emerged with something clutched in its claws.

"That's a piece of Fishing Trash!" Rose gasped, taking the soggy material from Dex's Claws.

"How did this get here?" Rose wondered aloud. "I clearly remember Skylar's reports from the discovery of Quibbit Cove. The waters of Valaria and Aleriea have been clearing of trash, thanks to the efforts of the Adventurers. Could an ocean current carried this here. Or an underwater passage we're unaware of?"

As Rose pieced the mystery together, Eldrin's gaze darkened as he looked deeper into the abyssal lake waters.

"This is more than just a single piece of trash," Eldrin said gravely. "There's a lot of it."

Rose and Eldrin peered into the depths. Beneath the glassy surface, heaps of fishing debris clogged the Abyssal Monster's once pristine lake. What was once a peaceful, shimmering lake, had been affected by our interference, and just as we had thought it was all clearing up.

"We need the Adventurers' help!" Rose cried, putting one hand on Dex's shoulder. "They've helped clean the waters before. If we can clear the trash out of this area, I'm sure I will be able to get a better look at what's going on here.
