The sound of falling leaves ring in Kano's ear.

It's been a second since they go on their gathering adventure.

Saria cheerful hold her basket.

She crouches down and looks through grass.

Kano look at the forest sky.

He saw color full birds.

Much more different from his home world.

He doesn't remember but he can feel this bird feels magical.

The flying birds shine with multitudes of color, blue, yellow and green.

The bird flies around Kano.

Distracting himself and making him bump into crouch down Saria.

"Hey! look at where going, Kano."

She said while getting up.

Kano scratches his head.

"Sorry, sorry."

He helps her get up by lend a hand.

While helping her get up, he looks in her basket.

"It's empty?"

"You don't fine what you are looking for."

Saria looks around a tree stump.

"Yeah, Oak Herb are quite difficult to forager during this season."

Kano point at a clearing.

"Should we go there?"

"We might fine a few Oak Herbs and more."

Saria look at the clearing.

"Sound great, let's get going."

Both of them walks in the clearing.

Other there, they saw a lots of old tree stump with a bunch of mushroom.

Bushes of Oak Berry scatter around the clearing.

Kano and Saria starts their foraging.

Saria nods.

"We could ask my mother to cook it went we arrived back at the village."

She places the mushroom into the basket.

"My mother would cook some very delightful Mushroom Soup with this one."

Kano look at the basket one more time.

He saw an engraving that read.

"S.E.A"

"Sea?"

He said loudly.

"Saria look at him and look at her basket."

"Oh yeah, my mother carves it."

"It's stand for my name."

"Saria Evergreen Ays"

"Your middle is Evergreen?"

Kano question while picking up a nearby mushroom.

Saria chuckle.

"Well, my parents feel a bit bold and want to name me after the magnificent tree."

"The Evergreen Tree."

She looks at the basket and saw something next to her.

"Kano!"

She said while tugging his pant.

"What is it?"

Kano looks at her.

"It's a fresh footprint of a Quartz Horn."

Saria excitedly says while poking the footprint.

Kano crouch next to her.

"If it is fresh."

He touches the footprint.

Then they look at each other and in unison they say.

"It must be nearby!"

Saria holds Kano and her basket tightly and runs.

She looks at the ground a saw more of the footprint.

"Saria slowdown."

Kano said while blushing.

"We need to find it."

She turns at him.

"The Quartz Horn has been hunted down because of their beautiful Horn."

"If we could just see it for even a second, I will feel like being blessed by the God Reacher."

She stops and looking at the footprint that leading them into the woods.

She holds Kano close.

"Use your eyes and tell if you saw anything."

Kano squint and look closer.

He looks and looks, and he earn himself another ability called [Observer], that he swipes away.

Then he saw a shiny horn that moves out of his sight.

"I think I saw it, the Quartz Horn."

Saria's eyes start to shine and runs with Kano.

After a few moments of running.

They look around at the area.

"It used to be here, I know I saw it."

Saria starts to puff her cheeks in disappointment.

Then they heard.

A scutter.

They both crouch down behind a tree.

They're both peeking and looking at the moving bushes.

The bush moves around, and it emerge.

A Dazzling Pink Quartz Horn.

They both saw in awe.

Saria starts to melt in joy.

She leans over to Kano.

Resting herself beside him.

He blushes by her sudden move but calm down.

He tilts his head on her.

The view that they saw give them time to bond in solitary.

But from afar.

Two bloodshed eyes look onto their location.

With saliva dripping from its mouth.

The shadowy beast moves.

To hunt its pray.
