The loud rush of water had long faded. So did the panic when the sea dragged her down mercilessly into the depths. Although everything was darkness for a while, the faint sound of laughter began to ring in the abyss. Along with it came a dim light that after staring at it for a bit became more pronounced. Brighter. Bigger. In a few moments, two figures beckoned. The young girl approached, holding tightly to her sole possession. A little stuffed toy. She didn't know why, but getting closer to these people made her happy.

While the night was still young, an unusual clump of seaweed washed ashore at the North-Eastern side of the island, at the edge of the forbidden forest. Although if one were to look closely, they'd see something moving within that clump. Out of it, weaseled out a little creature that resembled a plushie. A soaking wet plushy. Those who paid attention to pop culture would know that this thing looked remarkably like a Shaymin from Pokemon, and they would be right. This wasn't the real thing however, as a closer inspection would make them clearly see that this was just a stuffed toy. And yet, it moved like it was scanning the area, like any lost animal would.
A few predators looked curiously on this site and tried to approach, but the toy growled, rather cutely, but something about it made the dangerous creatures of the forbidden forest back away slightly. Three wolf-like hunters circled the toy, unsure whether to attack or leave it be. The toy looked like it was protecting something. Quite desperately as well. Maybe something in the seaweed that had washed up?
