The Great Pond

Somewhere in Nagatazuan lies an enormous lake, It’s tranquil face broken only by oversized rubbery lilies which bob up and down gently on the pools exterior. If one was to silence themselves and listen, it’s possible they might hear a gentle splash or two as tiny fish swim up from the green depths, perhaps to catch the low flying insects which can be heard buzzing and which can be seen flitting across the waters still surface.

Everything is peaceful here; the afternoon sun casts long shadows across the lilies, allowing a warm green glow to seep upwards from the murky lake floor. Tales tell of a shimmering weed which can be found at the very bottom of the lake: Wise men claim it has incredible regenerative properties, able to cure both sickness and grievous wound in an instant. Surely these tales would inspire both adventurer and traveller alike to explore the deep, but alas no men travel here… This could be due to the swampy nature of the area which surrounds the pond, but a persistent and well-equipped group of travellers could easily breach the waterlogged terrain, maybe something lies below… What could be slumbering beneath lilies green?
