After a long discussion on where to search next, the scientists voted to search the water as there was not enough evidence to support creature swooping in from above. And since at least one of the hatchlings affected was in the water themself, they decide it's much more likely the creature came from the river.
[b]Air: 35 votes, Water: 46 votes[/b]
Life goes back to normal for most clans as the shock and strangeness of the sighting fade into the past, but Griffin and Odessa continue searching with their teams, equipping themselves with boats and research gear to look high and low for the cause of this abnormality. No other dragons have come forward with reports of temporary vision loss, but some clans close to the river upstream of the sighting report hearing strange cries at night—close to the sound of a wailing hatchling, but also bone-chillingly alien.
There's no clear sign it's related, but it seems too big a coincidence to ignore, so both teams begin to travel upstream in search of the noise. During the days, the river is calm and quiet, only the sound of flowing water and the chirps of birds and insects to be heard. But when night falls, the cries come—only one or two at a time, hours after the sun has gone down and dragonkind has put itself to bed. The cries never last long enough for even the sharpest of ears to pin down a location, and the moonlight pays no favor to searching eyes, but a conviction settles among both camps that they are on the right path.
