You walk for a ways, but you see no crossing point. You will have to think of a different way to cross.

Ask Ashi if he could swim across with me on his back

You look at Arashi.

"Can you swim over?" you point at the river.

You know Lighira dont really like water, but you hope he is up for a swim.
Arashi puts two feet in the water and looks back at you. You quickly climb on his back, and he swims across, though with difficulty. At the other side, Arashi plops on lands and is breathing hard. You decide the let him rest a while. You see something glitter on the edge of the river, and you dig it up. It is shiny, gold and small. It looks like it broke off of something, given its shape. You wonder what it is. What do you think it is?

A gold coin or a piece of the sun stone

You look it over. A part of a coin? But then a thought pops in your head. What if it was part of the sun stone.
Naw. You think. How would a piece get here, and I just happen to find it?
You look over the edge of the canyon. It is very deep. But on the bottom you see something like a town or village. You decide to go to it. It takes you all day to get down it, and when you are the bottom, you look up at the canyon wall. Then you see stairs leading all the way down. You push your hand to your face and groan. Why hadn't you seen that before?
You head to the village, which is very small, eat, and get lodging at a inn. You then decide to try and find out what you piece of gold is.
You ask around, and someone tells you that their is a myth man at the edge of town, who knows about every myth there is.
You go there.
Inside is dark and gloomy, and a middle aged man with weird hair and a beard is there.

"Greetings traveler." he says, "what brings you here?"

You take out the piece of gold and hand it to him. "Do you know what this is?"

He fingers it, and goes to a bookshelf. He pulls out a book. He puts it on a table a opens it. You hover behind him, looking over his shoulder as he mutters to him self.

"Hmm. Well. If my calculations are right, then this *gasps* is a PART OF THE SUN STONE." he shrieks the last part.

"What?" you exclaim.

He suddenly looks at you with a weird look. Then you realize.

"Hey! Its mine, give it here!" you say.

But he holds it back. You want it, you need it. What do you do to get it back?

Bring out a knife threateningly and have my sylestia growl at him

"Umm okay but why do you want to come?"

I blink, trying to focus on it. Maybe a coin? It could be something a bandit dropped..

The man eyes the knife, and then looks at the piece of sun stone, then to Arashi.

"Give me the piece!" you say.

"F-fine!" he throws it at you, and you catch it. "But get out!"

You leave the building. What do you do know?

(By the way, I am going to camp for a week so I will be gone, but reply anyway and I will reply when I get back)

"Well. I have nothing else to do but sit in this hut. And exploring sounds fun!" Rhoda says.

Now that she is going to explore with you, do you tell her about the piece of sun stone, or keep it a secret for now?
