Novel & Cerita Swift Wash Crystal Lake

“That won’t do. Azure Cloud Mountain is beautiful. If the lake is nothing special, it’ll drag the mountain down with it. You have to come up with a story, even if you have to make something up.” An idea popped up in James’ mind, and he smiled. “Actually, there’s a story. This lake is called Crystal Lake, and there’s a church on the mountain. We can create a love story about a priest falling in love with a troll, but they could never be together, so they ended their lives for love.”

I gasped,as my eyes widened at the reaction, before I slightly pulled away from him, as her fulfilled, and I resorted to moving around a bit in the water, trying to calm my racing heart. “I read that the Blaine diamond was discovered at this lake…” I said, remembering the details of the lake. I felt his presence behind me, as he replied, “Yes, that's why it's crystal clear, just how the diamond is too.” “That's cool…” “Can you see the crystal gems?” He said, bringing my sight to the gems that sparkled at the bottom of the lake. I gasped as I leaned closer to pick one of them. “What are they?” I asked, scanning the one in my hold.

Instead, I felt relief knowing she was still with me. I kept walking through the vast forest. I pushed on, the scent of damp earth leading me deeper until the trees parted and I stumbled into a clearing. And there it was. A clear crystal lake. Wide, deep, and untouched. The water sparkled under the sun, a silver mirror reflecting the canopy above. Its surface rippled gently as if calling me. Without hesitation, I walked to the edge, stripped off my clothes, and stepped into the water. It was cold, biting, but refreshing. I welcomed the shiver that passed over me as I waded deeper until the water reached my waist.

Caitlin said, laughing as they raced downhill. “Don’t worry,” Polly said, out of breath, running beside her, “I have one for you.” “What about me?” Scarlet chimed in. “I want one, too!” Ruth barked. “And so does Ruth!” Polly laughed. They soon reached the edge of the lake and all came to a stop by its shore, out of breath, Scarlet still laughing. Caitlin looked down at the water and marveled at its light-blue, crystal-clear color: she could see right through to the bottom, and saw it was lined with thousands of smooth, multi-colored rocks. The place truly looked magical.

We came across large branches and dead trees, needing to climb over them or duck. We came to an opening in the woods, and my jaw dropped when I saw a crystal blue lake, the clearest I’d ever seen with rocks instead of sand along the beach, clumps of snow around the few driftwood logs on the edge of the lake. An eagle swooped down, its talon skidding across the water, then darted into the sky, its caw echoing through the still air. “This is amazing,” I said quietly, more steam expelling from my mouth.

I said, then turned back to my plate to eat. “That’s right…Lunar Lake is on your property. That’s the watering hole for the wolves. You might want to stay clear of that part of the property.” Sherry bought out more fish and placed it in front of us, but I just stared at the basket. “It’s an all-you-can-eat fish fry,” Tyler said as he took two pieces of fish from the basket and placed them on his plate.

Hera’s POV The shrill call of a bald eagle outside grabbed my attention. I opened my eyes to look around me. The view before me was so mesmerizing, that I gasped with delight despite my predicament. The vast stretch of crystal-clear water shimmered in front of me! With the ice thawing at the edges, I instantly recognized it as the Back Bay of the Great Slave Lake. A smile crept to my lips as I got up from the bed to sit beside the large bay window. There was a huge sundeck outside the bedroom beckoning me towards it. I glanced at the door longingly. Had Felixe locked that door, too?

And as we walk side by side, the weight of my worries seems to dissolve, the sounds of the village fades into the background, replaced by the rhythmic cadence of our footsteps upon the cobblestone streets. Finally, we reach the site Dwight was boasting about - it’s a lake. The crystal blue waters stretch out as far as the eye can see, reflecting the jagged peaks of the surrounding valleys with startling clarity. The air is crisp and fresh, tinged with the scent of pine and earth. Lavish grasses sway gently in the breeze, while overhead, clouds drift lazily. “Beautiful,” I murmur. “Yeah, very beautiful,” Dwight echoes. I notice in my peripheral vision that Dwight is staring at me as he echoes

Then Crystal howled and suddenly, her silver lightning sparked through mine, giving a wide light to see across the dark. My heart tightened, and it joyfully leaped at the thought of also possessing one of the traits of a werewolf. However, the joy didn't last long when Crystal's voice chastised me. ‘Now is not the time to drool’ she groaned. Her eyes controlled my sight as it looked around for something to draw us out before my body softened and became once again adherent to the wave of the swamp. ‘There!’ Crystal yelled, her eyes flashing to a big stick lying right at the side of the swamp.
