Whitewater Gorge Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn

hahaholy shit i just remembered that yellowbelly is technically his dad

As he crossed through the flatlands towards the shore a burden began to grow within his body. Something had taken over him, like a dark cloud over his body. It was not physical, but it often felt like he could not move. When he woke he did not want to get up. It had delayed him a few days — he might have been at the ocean by now had it not been for the strange malady that had overtaken his mind and body.

His first thought was that this was a curse — perhaps some spirit from the Woods had latched onto him and was leeching his energy. For what reason he could not say why, but it was up to him to dispel such energies from him as soon as possible.

He didn't have a crystal or stone or anything to ground his magic, so he searched for one near the gorge, hoping to find a broken off shiny stone nearby.
