Blue waters spread across as far as the eye can see. Deep dark blue, the kind of cold water that touches your bones. On the other side lies a dormant volcano, and off-frame another. They watch over the lake like the king and queen of some underwater kingdom.
Three boys walk up from behind us. This is their turf and they have not qualms letting us know. Past us without even a second thought onto the wooden planks.

They are joking, fulling around to see who will jump first. And past them, the princess walks down the plank determined. She is but fierce and jumps in first.
