The lake is crystal clear, lined with trees, to the far back of the lake there's a small formation of rocks almost like a small waterfall allowing water to flow into the lake. It's quite beautiful, the sun bathing the surrounding area in a warmth so comforting you could easily fall asleep on the shore. There's an old wooden bath, for its age it seems to look like almost new, and rarely used. There are no animals nearby except for birds softly chirping in the trees.

the head monk
I am the monk in charge of the local monastery. I hear confessions and lead my brothers in daily prayers. I serve my community.
Hello there. Oh, hello. Come to get some fresh water? Ah yes, and just enjoy the view and tranquility. That haircut and those words... are you a monk? very astute! And what are you doing here? Just getting some water and cleaning some of my children's clothes. How many little ones do you have? Oh, I've got plenty. Eight to be exact! yes! That is plenty. Oh dear. How far from this clean lake do you live? Not too far, just a ten minute walk from the village. Where do you live? There is a monastery about a mile away in the opposite direction That is quite the trek, do you come here often?
