Vespera smiled at the sight before her. She was leaning against the railing watching her pet and minimals diving and swooping in the air next to her ship. River, her pet, loved playing with the two minimals that recently joined their little adventuring crew.
It had been an eventful week -- a trader had visited her stall with a number of stunning berries in different shapes, sizes, colors and hues. The trader told her of a glorious tree that reached up into the blue skies of the Harmonic Heartwoods. As beautiful as the berries were, Vespera was hesitant to add them to her stall...
That was, until a Phoehen swooped down, perched on the table and started pecking at the berries. The trader had chuckled -- he heard of the mysterious new minimals that had appeared around Aleriea and Valaria, and their fondness for berries. This piqued Vespera's interest -- she had noticed the Phoehen hanging around her stall in the past few days and the budding friendship that River had started forming with it.
Vespera had picked up the rest of the berries off of the table, and the moment the Phoehen hopped on to her arm hoping for another berry treat, she knew. Vespera knew that her next adventure was upon her -- she would make the trek to find the mysterious tree in the Harmonic Heartwoods to find more berries for her pet's new companion.
After trading for as much information as she could, Vespera got her crew together and they set sail the very next day. She had stood at the prow of the ship, feeding the Phoehen some berries, when she saw a sparkling flash out of the corner of her eye. Before she knew what was going on, an Iricampus had joined the Phoehen and both were eating out of her hand.
River, the Phoehen and the Iricampus had been inseparable since.
Vespera's crew spotted the shores of the Harmonic Heartwoods on the horizon not long ago. Watching her avian friends playing in the winds strengthened her resolve -- she'll find the mysterious berry tree soon. Anything to keep her little family happy.

New Minimals in the Skies and in the Water
Two new minimals have been discovered but little is known about their whereabouts...
Whispers of the Iricampus have been heard across Santae, and they tell of a magical seahorse companion with iridescent scales and wings like those of a dragonfly, capable of flying above the waves and diving into the depths, symbolizing freedom and exploration across the vast oceans.
Iricampus
Similarly, adventurers have allegedly spotted Phoehen in the skies -- a mythical bird companion that embodies the power of the sun. It can ignite itself in a dazzling display of fire and light, only to be reborn from its ashes, representing renewal and the eternal cycle of the sun.
As we await news of how to obtain these mythical minimals, we encourage you to take the time to enter our giveaway to win one of them!
