Open Staying calm by the shore

[Sofi Ayre]

Even though she would never say it out loud because that would be terribly rude, and possibly upsetting or offensive to somebody around here, Sofi had always thought the lake was a bit spooky. It was beautiful too of course with the rolling hills and the way the water shimmered in the light, but it was also very large and wild. And the water splashed at the shore which made the prefect think something unpleasant was going to wash up at her feet at any moment. And the monuments were spooky too that reminded her that people had lost their lives here. Those people had been students just like her when they died, and she could be stood exactly where it had happened. Sofi took a deliberate step to the left and folded her hands in front of her and fixed her gaze on the lake instead to try and enjoy her time here before she needed to return to the castle for her next class.

Not bad, the four arms. Safe, safe, even when seen! Away from the shoal dangerous, but so curious, the four arms! Want to peek! Four arms standing by edge so near, be careful be quiet, swim closer, not too close! Peek, peek out of water, careful! Looks so strange, no tail! So pink, lake-grass on head? So strange-looking! But careful careful, never too close, only eyes out of water, careful safe!

Sofi remained very still as she looked out across the lake. She tilted her head ever so slightly with her expression mild as she sighed softly. “It really is very nice,” she mumbled to herself, then looked behind her to check no one had caught her talking to herself because that would be so embarrassing. There was a small splash ahead and Sofi looked at the water again, unaware of anything unusual just beneath its surface.
