And she sings while they jog down the craggy mountain path.

The bridge, it comes to pass, is little more than a row of logs laid on top of each other over a high canyon gap. Not even handrails. "Mind the wind!"

He laughs. Then somewhat carefully he picks his way across.

She jogs across. It's wide enough not to be truly dangerous. About halfway across she points back toward where they came. "Great view, huh?"

"It is, this whole planet is really nice, at least what I've seen of it so far. Do you know what those glowing orange buildings are?"

"Oh, those are the Sheikah shrines I told you about. Let me mark them on the map..." Apparently the Slate has a map too. It doesn't show much about this region except what she's filled in manually.

"So they're the places you get spirit orbs? That sounds interesting."

"Yeah. I don't actually know if they'll let you in. What's that thing?" She points at the scanner.

"It's a magic sensor system. It detects magic near me. I can also do some degree of magic analysis using it. That's where I got the descriptions of the magic you have on you from."

"Neat, I bet you can find valuable ingredients much easier than me."

There are some in walking distance now, even.

"Sure, let me fiddle with it a bit." He takes the scanner off his shoulder and expands the display to be bigger. "I don't know which patterns correspond to which ingredients but here's what's close by."

She uses the picture to fetch several bundles of spiky purple mushrooms from the cliffs they are at the peak of, as well as catching a peculiar salamander. "Rushrooms, nice!"

"What do they do? Most of these plants are just various patterns of metamagic so it's hard to interpret."

"If you don't screw it up, rushrooms make you move faster!"

"Well, that's interesting."

"Oh, want to try it later? Or just sell 'em?"

"I don't eat food, so I don't think they'd work on me, thanks for the offer though."

"I'll give you 'bout half what these are worth as payment for helping find them. But for now, onward we march."

"Works for me."

On they go. The next significant landmark is a tall hill with an orange-glowing tower on it. Black goo with strong metamagic-wild magic covers much of the path up.

"Do you know what the tower is, or for that matter the goo?"

"That's a beacon tower. If I get up there it gives me more map. But the goo is Malice. Kills about anything that touches it. So I haven't tried to tackle that one yet."

"Hm," he takes out another device like the magic scanner and turns it on. The display shows a maze of glowing lines traveling this way and that. "If you give me a minute I think I can teleport up there. If it works I'll come back and take you."

"And your teleport is safe? If you manage to get up there wave at me for a bit so I can see."

"If it works once it will work twice. There is a slight chance I won't end up where I'm planning but I have fail-safes." He walks slightly to the left and forwards, then jumps up a couple feet into the air before vanishing in a slight flash of silver. If Link's eyes are very good she might catch a brief glimpse of him in midair far above her before he vanishes again. Then he'll reappear on top of the tower. He waves.

She waves back, grinning. "Nice trick!"
