The Secluded Pool


The area is abound with trees, tall and full, their shade making the steamy day cool and comfortable. The trickle of water sounds in the distance, but not at all loud, just the rapid movement of a small bit of water over the rocks, its current gentle and rather slow. A pool is located near this trickle, oddly deeper than it seemed it could be, the depths of it bottom dark and untouched by light. A body rises from the darkness and it's head peeks from the still water sending ripples in every direction. The head was of an equine, ears perked forward he eyed with curiously, though he did not seem as though he was willing to come out and talk to you.

The head went under again and the form disappeared to the dark once again, rising within a few moments, a book in his jaws. He tossed it to you, sending cold droplets of water everywhere and getting you a bit wet as well, but not terribly so. The book was not titled, it had a plain cover of leather, crinkled and almost decaying from being stored underwater, but the pages were clear and very readable, with neat and legible cursive. The body once again disappears beneath the water, into the darkness, apparently, he wished you to read the book.

On the first page you begin:
My name is Abetont and I apologize for not speaking to you myself, but I'm terribly shy and if I should try I would embarrass us both. But do not worry, since this is the case, I have decided to write this book, so that you might know a bit about me, as I'm sure you're quite curious if you came all the way here. Please continue on if you do wish to, if not, simply toss this book back in the water and all will be done. I do ask that when you finish to put it on the shore or back in the water, thank you.
