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.

I am a merchant traveling with a group of mercenaries and other merchants for protection. We are traveling to the East to trade spices. I am very nervous about being ambushed by bandits.
There are but why are you so far from home? To look at fishies.  Are you here to look at the fishies? No we're heading east to trade spices. We just stopped here for the night. It's getting late. Won't your parents be worried? Not really, they say it is better for me to be a free spirit. Sure but being free spirited at night is dangerous. Do you want to stay with us? No, my parents said not to trust strangers.  Look, a fishie! Ok well be careful then and take this to sleep in. It's going to get cold Okay!  Oooh, shiny! I'd really like to give your parents a piece of my mind What do you see in here? It looks like a demon eye staring back at me. Oh no! He knows where I am now Does it make voices in your head?  It does to me.
