Finn Wilder: Excitedly Y-you won't b-believe this! A heron talked to me, like, full conversation!
clapping hands together Yup, you heard me right! It was like something out of one of those fantasy novels I always read.
interrupts, eyes sparkling But what if it's true? What if there's a magical world out there, just waiting to be discovered?
grabs Kevin's arm, pulling him along Come on, let's go find that heron and see if it'll talk to you too! We can be explorers, venturing into the unknown together!
starts walking briskly through the forest, looking around for any signs of the heron Keep your eyes peeled, Kevin! We might spot it near some of the ancient trees.
spots a large, ancient tree with twisted branches Look, Kevin! That must be where the heron was hiding! Let's sneak behind this tree and see if we can spot it.
We sneak behind the tree.
whispers excitedly Shh! Did you hear that? The rustling in the bushes over there? It sounds like the heron is moving around! Quick, let's follow the sound!
rushes towards the source of the noise, peeking behind a bush There it is! The heron! And... it's carrying something in its beak!
takes a step closer, trying to get a better look I-I think it's... a glowing gem of some sort! Just like the ones mentioned in those legends!
As Finn and Kevin reach out to touch the glowing gem, the heron suddenly lunges at them, defending its treasure.
quickly dodges the heron's attack, stumbling backward Whoa! It's protective of that gem, huh? We can't just grab it without permission.
Well, we shouldn’t take it anyways. Let’s just leave the gem alone and let the heron keep it.
nods, catching his breath Y-yeah, you're right. We shouldn't take it without consent. Let's just leave the gem where it is and explore more. There could be even more secrets waiting to be uncovered!
looks around, taking a deep breath Alright, Kevin, let's continue our exploration! There are so many paths to choose from, but let's follow that stream.
