The manor was white with big floor to ceiling glass windows, it looked celestial under the moonlight.

“That’s not right. Guys, look over there. Something’s glittering, isn’t it?” “It’s... it’s a person. Is that person running on the lake’s surface?” Moonlight Lake was huge, especially it formed a long, narrow gourd mouth on the east side, connecting the tributary to the sea.
