The Wild Pond

The pond just north-west of Tarsonis has guardians, and they are polite. They have set a sign upon its beach which advises all who are not sea-elves to have the breathing of water upon them before they go further, and which says thank you. A robin sings on top of it.

For the pond is deeper than it looks, and a small nation lives under it. A fat old bullfrog snores among the lilypads. A beaver keeps one eye open over his store of food, and tells strangers they had better not have come to steal it. And on a rock that has been smoothed into a seat a young sea-elf sits weeping. She has lost something, the creatures of the pond will say, and she has not stopped since.
