River's Secret

Welcome to the Coastal Realms! You find yourself in a small Village near the sea. The morning sun casts long shadows as villagers begin their daily routines. Where would you like to go?

You can head toward the River, which flows from deep in the Forest down to the Ocean. The sound of flowing water grows louder as you approach. Which direction interests you - upstream toward the Forest, or downstream toward the Ocean?

As you peer into the River's clear waters, you can see fish swimming beneath the surface. Something shiny catches your eye among the river stones - it could be worth a closer look. The current here is gentle enough to wade in if you choose.

You spot several distinct species: silvery trout darting in the currents, and what appears to be an unusually large, iridescent fish with scales that shimmer with an almost magical quality. It seems particularly interested in your presence.

As you lean in closer, the iridescent fish swims right up to the surface, its scales shifting colors like an aurora. To your surprise, it seems to be trying to communicate - bobbing its head toward the shiny object among the stones. This is no ordinary fish.
