The Secluded Pool


The area in which you walk is thick with trees, tall and full, their shape making the steamy day cooler and more pleasant. The slow, gentle trickle of water over rocks sounds in the distance. As you near the trickle an opening in the canopy floods brilliant light into a clearing, within the clearing in a large pool. The pool seemed deeper than it should be, its depths black and untouched by light. Suddenly a body, blazing white against the darkness, rose to the surface. As the peophin's head broke the surface ripples undulated outward. He snorted, clearing his nostrils of water. He perked his ears forward and eyes you curiously, although he does not seem willing to come out and talk to you.

Before you can say anything his head slides back into the water and his form disappears into the darkness. After a few short moments he rises to the surface once more, a book in his jaws. He tosses it to you, sending cold droplets of water everywhere, a few landing on your skin. The book had no title on its plain leather cover and it was crinkled and almost decaying from being stored underwater, but the pages were still clear and legible, written in a neat cursive script. The peophin disappears back into the murky depths, apparently he wished you to 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.
