[ Day and Cid are led to Tycho lake by the ethereal green thread, though the journey is less than pleasant. The closer they get to the lake, the harsher the weather gets. A storm rumbles overhead, a torrential rain soaking the wizards and making it hard to see where they’re going.
The faint light of the thread goes down, down, down, into the lake itself.The plant life around the lake seems to be moving, growing higher and higher as the storm rages on. Lightning crackles and the thunder is loud enough to make it feel like your brain is rattling in your skull. There’s no sign of any animals or people nearby, but the downpour is unrelenting. It’s likely to cause serious damage beyond just the lake itself if it keeps up, and it’s going to make swimming in the lake incredibly dangerous… Nature itself seems intent to kill, as entering the water is hard with how the plants seem intent to grab and hold, writhing in a way that feels alive, and even the kelp in the lake seems to be in motion.
Following the thread down to the lake bed leads them to is the same faint silhouette of the previous sage in a green glow. Its aura is unmistakable—this is a piece of the previous sage's soul. From the faint image of his raised fist are another four threads, faint and thin, extending further in different directions. The aura from these threads are familiar, too—they feel like the orbs that greeted you at the end of your mission.) However, they're not as important as the matter at hand. You are currently under water, after all. Oxygen is a finite resource.
Return to the old sage's room to hand in the fragment when you're done. ]
