"If you wanna see some creatures, we can go to the fairy village over by the Macabre Topiary." says Glenn.

"Oooh!" cheers Morgane. "They have a little zoo and an animal hospital, it's the most adorable place! We should go! Maybe tomorrow though. It's getting pretty late. It's almost time for supper."

It's almost 6 PM. The sun will set in around an hour.

Charlotte nodded. "That would be fun, I agree," she said. "If we could go tomorrow, I would gladly hop along for the ride." She smiled as she envisioned what the place might look like.

Glancing upwards at the mention of the time, she saw that the sun's rays were filtering at an angle through the water, and looking at the river bottom, she saw that there were multiple glints of reflecting light embedded in the silt. Slowing her swimming, she stared at them for a moment, almost becoming entranced.
"You good, Char?" asked Glenn.

"Oh, let her enjoy the little things!" replies Morgane.

Glenn swims down to join you, stirring up little tornadoes in the silt.

"Watch this!" Glenn cries.

Glenn spins their arms around in circles and reels them back, before swinging them forward and making a massive ripple in the silt. The bottom of the river is now a kaleidoscope of different colors, rippling and spiraling into each other like paint in a blender. You begin to notice fossilized remains peaking from beneath the silt.
The dragoness's attention was pulled back when her name was spoken, and she blinked, shaking her head. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, a small laugh escaping her. Watching as Glenn swam down, she gave the hybrid enough room to spin and wave their arms in the river bottom.

Charlotte's eyes widened as hundreds of little sparkles were thrown up into the water, all glittering and flashing about in the cloud. Grinning, she darted through it, emerging from the other side and taking a fair amount of the cloud with her, the particles being pulled away in a cone shape behind her.

Looking down, she swam towards the fossils, using her webbed hands to wave away some of the silt that was covering them. There were surprises around every corner in this place.
You see the fossilized remains of what appear to be dinosaurs. But, the shape isn't quite right. It's covered in bony spikes, almost like a porcupine.

"Huh. I think we just found a new species." remarks Glenn.

"Ooooh, can you name it after me?" asks Morgane.

"Sure, mom." they smile back. "Of course, Charlotte found it. Maybe she should be the one to name it."
Carefully lifting the skull of one of the creatures, Charlotte pulls it from the sand, holding it at arm's length. It's quite large, about forearm length. She turned to look at Morgane when she requested it be named after her.

"Sure, why not?" She said. "How about... Morganosaur?" She set the skull back, and slowly strafed sideways, examining the rest of the sharp bones. "It looks like this thing would have been great at defense when it was alive. Wonder if there's any others like it around."
You and the Macnameras gather up as much loot as you can carry. Morgane sees Jenny stumbling out of the bar, and decides to go deal with things.

"This should be fun," sighs Glenn. "Hey, I had a lot of fun today. Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again tomorrow. Here's my number."

Glenn hands you a slip of paper with their number. They smile and pat you on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the neighborhood."

Glenn wanders over towards the family conflict. You've probably had enough of that drama, so you decide to sit this one out. You take as much of the treasure you found as you like home to your tank. As you walk past the front desk, you see Axel helping another customer sign paperwork. You get in the elevator, head to your tank room, and for the first time since the bus ride, take a well deserved rest.
