[He figured out the trick with the book after the bear incident. After the majority of the day without an answer to the problem he'd stumbled across he decides to see if use of the book would help.]

Swan Lake. Does anyone know where that is? We've searched all over town and have been unable to find it. I found a swan that was told by the locals that she needs to find it by nightfall. It's getting closer to sunset and we aren't any closer.

What is this place that it can turn someone so powerful into little more than a bird?

[She hoped so too. Not that she really understood how a lake was supposed to help her. It didn't take all that long to reach it, though.

Careful, she flew out onto the lake. Considering the season she thought it would have been cold, but it really wasn't that bad on the water. Floating atop the lake, she glanced up to the sky for a moment, before she floated along the shore, her eyes upon Zero.

Something was off. Maybe different? She couldn't say, but somehow he seemed a little different from how she remembered. Maybe not much, but... it was hard to tell when she couldn't out right speak with him.]

[He debates on what to do now, if he should stay and wait with her for sunset to complete and see what happened. The other choice is to just head back home to that giant house alone. Curiousity gets the better of him though and he sits against a nearby tree where he begins to pull things out of the satchel he'd picked up.]
