Hikari braced an oar against the mud and pushed the boat back into deeper water.  "I think we might be able to find another waterway around, but I don't know... are we lost? We're lost, aren't we?" she asked with a mix of resignation and dawning realization. As if right on cue, the sun dipped lower, a hazy orb about to disappear below the horizon behind the fog that was getting thicker and colder by the minute. "At least look on the bright side, I don't think we'll run into wolves here at night," she joked limply.
