The Hylian Bestiary; Thursday, Third Period [01/26].

The danger shop that day was set up to look like a lush green forest, with plenty of little copses of trees and rolling hillocks, dappled sun filtered through the branches, and Sidon was very excited about today's lesson.

Well, he was usually pretty excited about most lessons, but this one in particular, because it was a consistent favorite of his since the first time he taught it.

"Welcome back, everyone!" he greeted the students cheerfully, with an excited opening of his arms and then a pump of his fist. "I have something very exciting for you today! We've spent the last few weeks going over some very important, but admittedly very run-of-the-mill Hylian creatures, but today, we're going to mix it up a bit, and discuss one of the legendary Hylian creatures, the great and mysterious blupee! A small, spiritual creatures that dwell within the forests of Hyrule, the blupee is said to be about the size of a large rabbit, and to move similarly, with bounds and hops and quick leaps and evasive maneuvers. They're said to glow blue, with the body of the aforementioned rabbit, but the face of an owl, and golden wreaths in place of its ears! They are said to be swift, and very easily startled, and very few people have ever actually seen the enigmatic beasts! Some claim that they are mere figments of the imagination, but there are others who say they have not only seen a blupee, but they have discovered that, when one strikes one with an arrow, the blupee, while unharmed, will drop rupees for the archer to collect before disappearing back into the spiritual realm from whence it came!"

As he spoke, of course, there was a flash of blue from somewhere behind him. Sidon turned toward it for a moment, then turned back toward the students with a grin. "Did you see that? I think we may have a few blupees in our midst even now as we speak! Now, surely, not all of us here are excellent marksmen, so perhaps shooting a blupee might be a bit out of our scope right now, but surely, at least someone at some time has certainly tried to catch a blupee in other ways! And if not?"

He laughed, beaming at them all.

"Then we shall be the first!"

Well, them, and the two classes before them where he'd taught this same lesson.

"Remember, though, they are quite skittish, and remarkably fast, so you may need to be quite sneaky and swift or perhaps even clever yourself in order to catch one! Sighting a blupee in the wild is a rare event indeed, so let us make the most out of it! Are there any questions before we begin? If not, let us begin our hunt, and may you find yourself quite victorious! Happy hunting!"
