You needed some time alone, to gather your thoughts, and this isolated stretch of Mystery Island beach seemed a likely enough place. Undisturbed coastline stretches as far as you can see in either direction, sunlight glittering in the surf. An odd shadow in the rising tidewaters catches your eye and, driven by curiosity, you walk over and rescue it from the shallows. It is an old tome, heavy and waterlogged, but strangely resistant to the sea's corrosive touch. Its pages are waxy and each one is covered in interesting drawings which, upon closer inspection, seem to tell a story. "Excuse me," The soft, lilting voice makes you jump and you turn around to behold an amber-colored Peophin sitting primly in the shallow water, blue eyes light and friendly. Your reaction makes her chuckle. "I see you've found my book. Would you help me take it back?" She tilts her muzzle toward the book you're holding. Dumbly, you nod, and the Peophin turns about, motioning with a flick of her fluked tail that you should follow. You tuck the book under your arm and take hold of her pale blue mane as she dives, dragging you with her into the sea. You close your eyes against the briny water. In what seems like too short a time to have gone far, your head breaks the surface and you find yourself inside a cozy underground cavern, its floor perpetually carpeted with a thin sheet of water. "Thank you." The Peophin's oddly striped hooves click against the stone floor as she turns to face you. "My name is Foldara; what you have there is a piece of my life's work."
