>You make your way further eastward, as Hina continues her dance.
>Soon, the trees begin to thin, and you can see a river ahead, fed by a waterfall flowing down the mountainside. Dozens of little ponds dot the land, filled with cat tails. Small gardens filled with bushes dot the area, set between meandering dirt footpaths. There are buildings here, small rounded things plastered with cattails and moss, often partially submerged into ponds. Here and there, you see a kappa on the roads, bustling about. On the far bank of the river, you can see a large building that looks like several barns that have been awkwardly fused together, where more kappa are gathered.

>You make your way through the village, picking your way through various footpaths around the houses. The kappa seem to be giving you a wide berth. You don't encounter any of them, but you can see them taking routes that would lead away from you, or simply moving around the houses.
>Soon you reach the edge of the village, the mountain's slope growing more and more pronounced. Ahead, the incline becomes rather steep. A path wends its way up some rather sheer cliffs. Some distance above, you can see some figures flying through the air in formation.
