There were rumors about the wonders that could possibly lay in the depths of the Shoal Cave, and Sebastian never found himself interested in them. He was used to such tales in Goldenrod, where the locals who were too cowardly to venture beyond its well developed walls would tell similar tales of what hid in the nearby Ilex Forest. While he was certain that many supernatural mysteries existed in the world, he was also certain that most of these rumors came from the people that were slaves to their amygdala.

In spite of his skepticism, Sebastian sat confidently before the entrance to the local legend. However, he wasn't on some childish treasure hunt. He was conducting research! As a performer, there were certain emotions that Sebastian was fascinated with. One of those emotions was the fear that was directed towards the unknown. If anything, he hoped that exploring the cave would give him insight into how he could stimulate that same mysterious fear in his own performances.

But before then, he would wait for the tide to die down. Sebastian had heard that the tides shifted every six hours, and it looked like it would be low enough for his taste at any moment.
