It wasn’t my problem

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."
