Dear Silent Voice From the Sky: Decided to wander on my own for a bit. Stumbled into a small eddy of water. Nothing happened. Apparently, this is not the “lil eddy” I’m supposed to find.
The quest continues.

“What is it?” Cuddle asked.
“A tiny healing shrine,” John Riley said sagely, pretending he hadn’t just read it on the back of the box.
