I used the shades to travel
There weren't any roads and most of the place was riddled with trees.
There were animals but most were alive- unlike me.
I did try to experiment with the sunlight and so far, though painful, nothing much happened to me even when I was fully exposed to the sunlight.
"Is there any civilization nearby?"
"I'm only aware of what you are. I cannot escape your presence."
So, I couldn't use the spirit as a scout?
"What happened after I lost? What happened to my friends?"
"I do not bear that knowledge. I broke free from my host when I switched to you, severing all connections, therefore, I only know what centered around you. Though I do pray and hope that the two of them are alright."
