The lake was huge, easily a mile around with crystal clear water. The lake was in a giant decline in the ground, with grass surrounding the water that ramped upwards before hitting the trees, which curved towards the center, leaving a hole open a foot wide where light came in to illuminate the whole scene. The water had a somewhat turquoise hue to it, but still allowed you to see all the way to the bottom of the lake. The light that came from the small opening spread out to it hit a large area of the lake, but bounced off the surface of the water creating a beautiful scene of light contrast. No animals inhabited the lake, save for two giant Koi fish, one with a swirling pattern of blue, with a hint of white, while the other was completely white. The two fish swam happily in circles, chasing each other playfully in a dance of love and laughter.
