Just before returning to the campsite for the night, Hilda decided to take one more look into rocky shallows. Mostly, there were more minnows seeking the safety of the turmultuous, shallow waves that lapped the shore. But there, just in the shadows of the dying light, another shoal of Trifin Eels was lurking.

As the ocean sucked waves back in, the small minnows were rushed out into deeper water, and the predatory eels would snap them up, one by one. It was interesting to watch them work. But Hilda was a skilled predator herself, and their small catch from earlier wouldn't been enough for dinner tonight. She'd hunt just a few of these eels so she and Mud and Knife could eat well.

It was hard to tell, but Hilda was pretty sure the sun was getting close to setting. She was disappointed she was running out of time and hadn't found anything truly new to the area yet, though she had her suspicions that whatever footprints she found belonged to something she'd never seen before.

She had turned herself and her hounds around to start their journey back to the campsite when something nestled between the roots of a tree caught her attention. It was a single, pale mushroom she'd never seen before. Carefully, she plucked it and examined it closer. It was new! Thank gods, she'd finally found something interesting.

As she was collecting kelp, Knife suddenly became attentive to the water. Hesitant to jump into the salty waves, he stood in the sand with his ears pricked and whined pitifully at the water. Hilda came up beside him to see what he found, and quickly realized he was alerting at a small group of Trifin Eels.

They were hunting minnows in the shallows, swimming around each other in mesmerizing ribbons of color. Most of the shoal looked to be juveniles, but there were a few plump adults scattered throughout. Maybe they could take just a short break to try to catch some dinner...

Hilda and the hounds spent a few more minutes rustling through the ferns for any additional signs of the creature they'd lost, but when she couldn't find even another set of footprints, Hilda eventually gave up and led her hounds back out to the beach.

If she couldn't find something new, she'd at least keep collecting something old and useful. She trailed along the edge of the water, collecting kelp as it washed ashore in long, slimy tendrils. She spent more time fighting to keep Mud and Knife from rolling in it than she did actually collecting, but she did still find a good batch that she could use later.
