Greatwater Lake she was afraid of dreadful prophecies

gonna roll in discord to see if hes successful w/ finding the marigolds :0

what her name calls to mind are sea serpents and sinister shadows muscling their way through an ocean floor. he wants to ask then where's your charybdis but he bites his tongue. 
her teeth graze his shoulder but what she doesn't know is that he can be as stubborn as her. they hobble together towards the lake as the trees thin out. its visible now, a pale grey disk in the fields mirroring the overcast sky. just beyond it like a wolf's lower jaw, the jagged horizon of a forest. it is dense and stout and dark, despite the slight fog that wreathes the branches.
once they are close enough to clearly see the reeds and flowers framing the lake, urias pushes forwards, walking just ahead of her. he noses through the plants efficiently and carefully, eyes narrowed.
