[font=arial][size=5][color=#6b4627]But Viazir got up to look, pulling at it and using some of his own magic to hold the line steady.

[font=arial][size=5][color=#6b4627]"That's because it's a coelacanth!" said Holo, squealing. She got out her field guide and flipped through it quickly. "There! See? This thing has been around since the time of dinosaurs."[/font][/size][/color]
