The Hylian Bestiary; Thursday, Third Period [01/19].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Back in the Danger Shop again, the students would find themselves at the edge of a vast reservoir of water, surrounded by shining, almost crystalline mountains, an area that was very much inspired by East Reservoir Lake back in Zora's Domain, right down to the dock-like platform jutting out into it, where Sidon stood waiting for them to arrive.

"Good morning, my intrepid adventurers!" he greeted, with an enthusiastic and energetic pump of his fist. "I hope you're ready to learn about even more Hylian beasts today, because we are going from the skies right down into the seas! That's right! Today, we're talking about a type of creature very near and dear to my heart...and my stomach, and that is Hylian fish!

"One thing I've noticed about Hylian fish that make them quite a bit different from Earth fish is that, while they share similar traits, there are some Hylian fish that actually can grant those consuming them a little elemental boost, depending on the type of fish it is! I'm sure there are reasons why these fish can offer such special traits, surely something to do with the magic deeply entrenched in the very heart of Hyrule, but it is often something I miss when I enjoy the fish here in this world! I have also heard that cooking the fish will also enhance these properties, but, alas, a Zora stomach has little tolerance for many cooked foods, so my experiences with them are mostly raw.

"Once more," he added, gesturing toward a small table that had little packets on them, "I have a compendium of different Hylian fish for you here to peruse. Please note, many of these fish would not actually all cohabitate in the same body of water, but we have made adjustments so that each and every one of them can be found somewhere in this lake. See how many you can find! If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to elucidate further for you, and feel free to go about your hunt in any way you prefer. Would you like to jump on in and swim about with them? Maybe try to catch them from a shallower point? There are also nets and fishing rods, and if anyone would like to go out further into the depths...."

He threw down a cheeky sort of wink.

"I know of an excellent swimmer who can take you there!"

Himself. He was definitely talking about himself.

"And, with that," he concluded, "if there are no further questions, I will release you to find your fish, and may you be fruitful in your quest!"

Class Activity: Find Fish! - Hylian Bestiary, 01/19.

Feel free to go about finding your fish however you'd like, or even just sit at the end of the dock and dip your toes into the water and enjoy the view. There's a pretty good variety, but the real trick would be being able to check your compendium to properly identify them, because they're also pretty similar, too!

Graham knew that this was a big risk, since he still didn't know how to swim, but wasn't the whole point of the danger shop that you couldn't get hurt? So if he fell off, he'd be fine, right? And, even if it was a little tricky, he actually was pretty confident that Sidon wouldn't hesitate to jump right in and save him, which would actually be pretty exciting and thrilling, and so now part of him was hoping to fall overboard after all, because zouuuuuuunds! Saved from near death by drowning by a prince!

Because, you see, Graham had managed to somehow cobble together a raft, and he decided he wanted to take that raft out into the lake and do his fish-finding there.

Look, when you have the icon....you use it, dammit!
