F inally, I was feeling some peace. I had been wandering through the lands for a while now, lost and confused. But tonight, tonight a feeling of peace had descended upon me, settling over me like a cloak, and I could eventually breathe easy for a while. This eve, the air was cool and calm, so quiet that I could hear the crickets chirping and I came closer to the lake, I could hear the frogs croaking, calling for their mates.

Everything was so serene, so beautiful as the sun descended down below the horizon, casting a light orange glow across the clearing and bouncing off the ripples on the lake. The beauty of it all caused me to pause in my wandering, to stop and take in the splendour of my surroundings. I watched as dragonflies flitted across the surface of the water, and fish occasionally flipped out of the water, causing droplets to spring into the air, catching the last rays of the sun and sending tiny cascades of rainbows back into the depths.

As I glanced around, my eyes enlightened upon a creamy orb, resting upon the pad of a lily, next to a large toad. It seemed like it contained something important, and something that shouldn’t be entrusting its safety to a small, slightly unstable water plant. My peaceful mood caused me to want to wade in to safe this orb, to pull it to the banks of the lake, to examine it and its content.

I dipped my hooves into the edge of the water, the feel of it was cool against my legs, it was strangely calming. It felt like the right thing to do. I waded in further, the pad turned out to be in the middle, where the water reached my chest. I felt it was only polite to greet the toad, and to tell him of my intentions, to make sure he had no aversions to my plan. “Good eve, Sir. I am sorry, I hope you don’t mind, but I would like to pull this orb to the bank, to stop it from falling into the depths of the water and drowning. Is that okay by you?”

I waited for a minute or two, but this orb was entrancing, and I wanted to know more about it, so I dipped my dial downwards and gently nipped at the stem of the pad to set it free and then I latched onto the pad with my ivories, and very gently started to tug it to the edge of the lake..
