Digging Deeper Into The Canyon's Secrets

Vespera walked slowly down the path next to the river that wound through the center of Sienna Canyon, taking in the sights and sounds around her. With so much to see around every corner, she couldn't decide which building to explore next!

One shady archway looked especially welcoming. She could see rows of shelves inside, with strange items arrayed across every surface -- orbs, elixirs, dusty books and odd sculptures. What kind of shop could this be?

She stepped inside to get a closer look. As she entered, the pixie shopkeeper behind the counter raised a hand in greeting.

"I haven't seen you around here before!" The pixie greeted Vespera with a smile. "I'm Yara Fortuneforger. Welcome to Timeless Relics!"

"Nice to meet you! I'm Vespera," Vespera introduced herself in turn. "And you're right -- I'm new to Sienna Canyon. I came in search of ancient fossils and the Petrastone Relic."

"Ancient things are my specialty," Yara replied. "I sell every kind of artifact you can imagine here." The pixie fluttered her lilac wings and flew over the counter to join Vespera in the main body of the shop. "If it's fossils you want, I have just what you need," Yara continued. She led Vespera over to a shelf with papers, scrolls, and books neatly stacked on it. After a quick search, Yara withdrew a sheaf of papers bound together with silver rings.

"This is the one!" Yara handed it to Vespera. "This Codex has all kinds of information about fossil hunting inside."

"I'll take it!" Vespera agreed, exchanging a smile with Yara.

After returning to the counter to pay, Vespera stepped back outside with her new purchase in hand. She flipped through the Codex's pages, examining the diagrams and reading the text within as she continued to stroll.

Then she stopped in her tracks, reading the same paragraph over again. The information contained in this Codex was amazing!

It contained a description of Pets and Minimals working together with Adventurers in ancient times to excavate treasures from the earth. They used their Dig and Burrow abilities to create tunnels and move rocks -- greatly enhancing Adventurers' hunts for fossils and ores.

"Incredible!" Vespera exclaimed. "This is just what we need to dig through the landslide and enter Echoes Cavern! If I can find the entrance, that is..."

TL;DR
