Hurry up.

You and Vivi scavenge the forest to the best of your ability while simultaneously making your way back to the others. If you find it all yet can't get back in time, it's all pointless anyway. You have no idea what she's looking for, so you leave it to her. With determination, she digs around for various herbs and roots, and you start to hear the giggling and chatter of the other girls right as Vivi holds the final ingredient up in the air. That isn't the end, however. She grabs some bark and grinds it all into a pulp against it. She's soon left with a goopy grey substance and she holds it up towards you.

"Scoop your finger through it and swallow it down. That's all it takes."

Though the mischievous witch could easily be tricking you, it worries you more what'll happen if you don't trust her. You get some on your finger and plop it into your mouth, and it tastes absolutely disgusting. You bare it, and swallow it down with a wince. A tingle flutters through your body. Though, nothing else seems to happen.

"Good! Now me and the others. The moon will be up soon." She looks down at her suddenly empty hands with a blank, confused expression. "... Huh?"

"Where did it go?"

"Why are you asking me?!"

A reverberating cackle comes from your right. You turn to see an eerie sight--a translucent white figure of a woman with hair that flows down past her rear, and she's garbed in a loose-fitting robe. The bottom of her body trails off into nothing. In her hands, however, is the bark that holds the cure. Her echoing voice is deeper than Vivi's, though even past the ghostly appearance, you can see some similarities between them.

"Nice try, sister!" she calls out. A pale flame suddenly burns the entirety of the bark into ashes. "But there's no stopping my fun tonight. Do you have any idea how boring it can be being a ghost? Sure you can possess people, spy on anyone undressing all you want, but I don't even have a body. This is going to be a fantastic time, and you put the lotion on too, didn't you? Fantastic indeed."

"Are you the Wicked Witch of the Sea?" you ask.

She laughs again. "That's what people have come to call me, but in life I was Callisto. That damned Captain Jack and the others got the better of me I admit, but I made everybody regret it."

"My sister was always a sore loser," Vivi whispers.

"I heard that!" The ghost swoops up in front of the two of you, and you can feel the chill of her form waft over you. "I didn't lose. You'll see. That foolish rabbit didn't even know I was inside of him the entire time. Bringing this many girls to me, and a boy of course. The legend is true, how I can be beaten once and for all, but I thought I'd have a bit of fun with it. I watched from afar, and managed to get every last one of you to wear my special lotion. It was so easy!"

Before you can respond, Callisto soars through the air and towards the camp. You and Vivi hurry after her as the sun starts setting, and as you enter the clearing to see the girls once again, the shimmer of the moon catches your eyes.

There's immediately an intensity in the air so thick you could cut it with a sword.
