Duel Nature
As you climb a hill in the path through Whitey's Grove, you finally see it: the white whale! The whiiiite whaaaale! It's right on the path in front of you! You pick up speed and flat-out run towards your iconic, deeply symbolic nemesis.
Then you trip over a dueling turtle that was slowly making its way across the path in front of you. When you look up, the whale's gone again. Curses! Oh, well, at least you found a turtle!
| Duel the turtle |
