Folks call the area a Lake, but it's more like a pond.  Small and unimportant looking, yet peaceful.  The dock is no prize winner either.  Narrow in width, boards broken with several down right missing all together!  No tree nearby, no canopy, nothing to shade oneself on a hot day while fishing.  The watering hole may look small in size, but it deceives the eyes.  The water is as deep as the heavens.  No man knows what lurks beyond the light in this Lake.

My family is my reason for being. My kids and my wife are all I have. This village is all we know in this crazy world.
Hello child. Is this young boy your brother? No, I am here alone. I have no brothers. A child all my themselves in this pond? Where is your family, just like mine? They work for the royal doctor and are helping him with his rounds. I am alone, but that's OK. I'm used to it. What is this? Hey, that's mine! I was hoping to sell it to a fisherman. It can tell how the tides will be in the future Let me see it first! Why do I have a feeling you found this around here.... My father gave it to me! It was a gift! But we are low on money, and I though I would sell it so that my parents didn't have to work so hard. Let me get the rope as well, I don't think a child like you knows how to operate with it. I think you should get going now. Will you steal everything I own?  Yes! There is no witnesses here in fishing dock area. Now does your parents have any gold for my family? They have the King's favor, something far more valuable.
