Poky guided us across the bay and to the first island. Damp and eerie, it was uncomfortably still when we stepped off the skiff and onto land. We made our way west, where we found the corpses of those shard-like creatures, which I'm now piecing together as being connected to the titan. Did Fading Aurora do this? We didn't have long to linger, though, as even more of them ambushed us on the path. As we pushed westward, Poky saw a clearing ahead in the swamp—and Fading Aurora. We finally caught up. ***
