Counting Sheep

Night and Day was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor searched for the missing five shards for the pedestal inside the Cave of Gold.
==Dialogue==
Eivor started her search for the missing five shards. Eivor traveled nearby to the settlement of Hungladder. Eivor soon found a letter within a burnt-down house.
From further investigation, Eivor uncovered a diary entry near supplies outside.
Eivor soon found the shard underneath the settlement within the tunnel.
*Eivor: This must be one of the shards I need to place on the pedestal.
Eivor left the hostile settlement and went to find the next shard. Along her travels, Eivor came across Kassandra, who seemed to be talking to herself.
*Kassandra: She's impossible, Aletheia. I know you want me to work with her but I know, I know. But what more can I do? She won't trust me...
*Eivor: Is Kassandra... talking to herself? She is truly mad. Good riddance.
Continuing on her journey, Eivor came across the Excavation Site. From her probing, Eivor found a note on top of a stone tomb within a small cavern of the site.
Eivor soon broke down the wall and recovered the second shard. Thus, Eivor left and headed to find the next shard. Eivor traveled to the next location and arrived at the Fairy Pools. Upon her search, Eivor found a sacrificed body and the shard pedestal behind the waterfall. However, the shard was missing. Once she left the pedestal, Eivor saw a woman near the sacrifice as she called Eivor out.
*Old Woman: You there! Could you kindly step into this pool so I might complete my ritual for the fairies?
Eivor spoke to the woman, as wolves circled around them.
*Old Woman: Oh, yes. Could you please be a dear and wade into the Fairy Pool so I can sacrifice you to the fairies?
*Eivor: You're asking if you can kill me?
*Old Woman: Since the nightmares started, the fairies have whispered in my ear, promising power if I find sacrifices for them. They've even led me to one of their treasures for my hard work. The prettiest shard. So please, into the pool now.
<tabber>
|-|(Pay 500 silver) I'll buy the shard and leave=
*Eivor: What if I stay out of the pool and buy that pretty shard from you instead?
*Old Woman: Oh... The fairies won't be pleased. But my daughter is getting married soon and I'd love to get her a wedding gift. All right. The shard is yours. Run along now.
|-|(Fight) Make me get into the pool=
*Eivor: If you want me to go swimming, you're going to have to make me.
*Old Woman: That's no trouble at all, dear. I'll help you right in.
Eivor and the woman, with the wolves, fought. Eivor proved victorious and killed the woman.
|-|(Level 3 Charisma) That shard is poisoning your mind=
*Eivor: Fairies are tricky creatures. Are you sure that shard isn't muddling your mind?
*Old Woman: I haven't quite felt like myself lately... You could be on to something. Take this shard far away from me, please!

Eivor recovered the shard from the woman and left the Fairy Pools. For the next shard, Eivor traveled to the Brother's Cave. Within the cavern, Eivor came across three snakes and an empty shard pedestal. Nearby, Eivor found a note by the pedestal.
From this clue, Eivor headed to investigate the village of Inverarish, which appeared abandoned. Eivor noticed blood near a well and upon further look, a body was discovered at the bottom of it.
*Eivor: One step closer.
Eivor saw a house barred up and found her way inside by pushing a movable structure from a window path. Inside, Eivor found another letter.
Eivor left the house and followed footprints from outside the door.
*Eivor: Footprints. Walking at a hastening pace.
Eivor followed the trail as it led her into an abandoned lookout in the woods, which was stalked about by bears. Eivor noticed scaffolding and climbed up, only to see another dead body with a letter near it.
After seeing how one brother killed the other, Eivor recovered the shard from the body. In her final search, Eivor travelled to Dun Ardtreck. From her search, Eivor came across a note within a house of the area.
From her reading, Eivor made her way down the cliff and scaffolding and dove into the waters. From her underwater search, Eivor found the third shard. Eivor quickly left the area to find the last two shards.
*Eivor: That's all the shards. Time to unlock the temple and end the nightmares. And Kassandra thought I needed her help.
==Outcome==
Eivor collected all five triangle shards for the Cave of Gold's pedestal.
