Summer at the Minimal Ranch
Vespera's journey to Silvershade's ranch was wonderfully pleasant. The beautiful island with its lush vegetation made her feel like she was on a tropical vacation! As a skilled adventurer, though, she knew that she needed to focus on the task at hand -- following the map that Barnaby Scrapworth had drawn up for her.
Vespera's Raylen, River, and their two minimal companions, Henrietta the Phoehen and Dew the Iricampus, dutifully scouted ahead for her. Each of them checked in regularly to help her orient herself in the wilderness. Despite the scenic journey, Vespera could not help but feel relief washing over her when she spotted the ranch in the distance, exactly where Barnaby said it would be. He was a curious fellow, but reliable!
As she approached the ranch, Vespera heard the minimals before she ever laid eyes on one -- they were a rambunctious bunch and chased one another in the pasture. Vespera smiled warmly, it was so sweet to see minimals she recognized from Merick's shop so happily playing together! Dew and Henrietta flew ahead towards the minimals and seemed to make new friends. River remained protectively perched on Vespera's shoulder.
Vespera circled the ranch house but there was no sign of Silvershade and when she called out, she got no response. Where could Silvershade be?
Suddenly, River raised their wings and let out a hiss. Startled, Vespera looked to her left and saw two fluttering dragon-like minimals slowly circling one another in the most mesmerizing fashion.
Vespera could not bring herself to look away from the slow, methodical and poetic movement of the beautiful pair. Despite knowing that the dance of the Grimmoire and Luminara could entrance adventurers, she could not help but watch them. Though harmless, those entranced tend to find that several minutes will have gone by out of no where.
River fussed again, pecking Vespera lightly on her cheek, breaking the moment.
"Thank you, love. As much as I wouldn't mind watching these two all day, we have a person to find!"
Vespera and River circled around to the front of the house only to find a post by the front door.
"Whelp," Vespera exclaimed, glancing at River, "Should we wait here or go find this fishing location?" River squawked and Vespera understood. "Fishing it is! Let's go find Silvershade!" With that, she called Dew and Henrietta and set off towards the beach.
