The spirit nods, and hops off the edge of the cloud, drifting softly down through the air as though it's as light as mist.

Cute. Leuska glides down. 

And then when she reaches Delsmiar and Luvei, she says, "We have a problem. This isn't a war zone but there are, apparently, hostiles." 

Delsmiar looks worriedly at the air spirit.

"Not them." 

{there are monsters—they try to hurt you—forest spirit will know more}

"How do we find the forest spirit?" Delsmiar asks. 

{look in forest}

She chews her lip. "Is there anything you can tell us that would ordinarily be useless but, since I'm currently receiving a stream of contextually-useless data about our surroundings, would be useful?"

It cocks its head inquisitively. {—?}

"I'm--an oracle, it's my species, I could currently tell you how many, uh, skystone blocks there are in a weirdly defined area, or that creatures--monsters I guess--in places that have blood all over them drop heart pieces, or that fruit here doesn't rot, but I don't know what a skystone block is or what the meaning is of the weird area definition or what dropping is in context or what a heart piece is or why fruit doesn't rot or anything like that." 

{dropping is like when the slime gave gel}

"Oh. That makes sense, thank you." 

{heart pieces are useful} it adds. {—you can make candy hearts with them—and spun shadows with shadow scraps—and other things too}

"What are candy hearts and spun shadows?"

{magic candy—candy hearts make you healthier—spun shadows make you faster}

"Faster?"

It nods.

"Like--running faster, thinking faster, having better reflexes...?"

It nods again.

"Wow." 

"We can probably send you, Luvei, and maybe the twins, into the shadow place. And the blood place I guess but I didn't see any on this island." 

{other island—every island has only one—shadow or blood}

"Probably safer that way," Luvei muses. "What kinds of things are there in the shadows?"

{spectral wraiths—creeping nightmares}
