Yona had been out of her lab for a week or so, but her mind hadn't stopped. She had filled up a notebook with ideas, thoughts, and experiments to try out. She had trekked over parts of the island, finding a couple new plants and documenting them. Still, it plagued her though. Her father's notebook had been magically sealed so that the words on the pages were illegible ink blots for those not yet experienced enough to see it. It was her father's way of protecting his research when Yona was young, and it was still effective on her now. The green haired woman had scoured the pages, looking at spells and diagrams, spending hours pouring over little sketches of plants- some familiar and some not. She didn't doubt the effects of one page in particular.
A page near the back of the notebook, one of the last spells her father had worked with, likely spells at least at the A rank level. The sketched plant was old now, slightly water damaged from the one night Yona spent sleeping on the streets in the rain. But the picture was either a related species she did not recognize of the common yellow wisteria plants around her home or something she had never seen before. It was hard to tell, the thorns suggested it was not related, but the flower arrangement and size was so indicative of a wisteria. Perhaps the plant had a deadly cousin. She assumed also that the nature of this plant had to be poisonous- the small skull and x stamp her father had placed only on poisonous plants in his encyclopedias was the same mark at the bottom of this page from his research-driven spells.
This was what brought Yona out to the empty beach about an hour's walk from the guild's front gate. Locals that the female had questioned had mentioned seeing one of VPs of the guild, a new face named Sol, moving out that way. If Yona could find him then she would be able to question him. She carried a bag over her shoulder and in it, her father's precious notebook. Yona had had it magically waterproofed and tear proof long ago now, but carrying it still left her feeling on edge, ultra protective of one of the only items to survive the fire.
Once she got to the beach, Yona placed her hand down on the natural line between the gravelly sand and the thick forest soil. She concentrated for just a moment before sensing a physical body, tucked inside a large tree in the area. When she lifted her head to look in the direction it was easy to see the large tree right on the edge itself a few meters away. Yona strode up to it and tucked in the branches was where she found the man called Sol. She shouted up at him, being certain to be extra loud.
"Hey, you! Sol? Sol! I need to talk to you! It's very important!" She thought for a moment and added with a tone of false panic, "Its an emergency!"
