The river that runs through this part of the forest is clear and cold and crystal blue.  Small fish dart about, and a few lazy insects flit back and forth above the riverbank.  Lush grass slopes up from the river itself.

I a insect that loves to bite travelers as they sleep in the woods . I have a venom in my bite that kills . I can live for more than twenty years.
buzz...hello pretty fish. Ohhh, what a nice insect! Hello there! What brings you to this particular place on such a beautiful day?  I'm just being lazy today.   HAHA, I know that feeling, well! Perhaps you're feeling lazy due to the lack of sunlight? I know some insects are affected by that.  Maybe...I do love it when the sun shines on the river.  I think I will sit on this log a while.  Have you lived here very long? Oh, yes. I've lived here my whole life! My parents before me, and their parents before them. Oh, we do tend to travel a bit, but we always come back. There's just no better place to be! Oh I agree.  I have lived her over twenty years!  It's a bit rough though...I like to make friends but then I kiss them and they die.  I don't mean to kill them it's just in my kiss. Oh, my! That must be quite heartbreaking! Well, at least I'm smart enough not to kiss you, haha! Say, are you thirsty? I'm sure that if you roll a little this way, I'd be able to lend a fin and give you a cool drink.   Sure...I'll stay far enough away from you not to hurt you and far enough away that you won't eat me...here I come...splash away. Ahh, a good strong slap of my fin and.... There you go! Hope that was refreshing, my friend!  a bit more than I expected but that was refreshing.  The water feels cold today. I found this flower.  I think it would be pretty floating in the water there with you. Aw, thank you! That's called a lily. They are very pretty, aren't they? Their buds are quite tasty, too, so thank you for the special treat!
