He moved toward the two as silently as a shadow, his head lowered as his wide eyes surveyed the situation. This was a strange sight in any corner of the world, fish flailing in the mud and long grasses surrounding the lake in an attempt to fill their gills with water.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a great blue heron stalk toward them, its throat warbling as it scooped up a fish and swallowed it greedily. He lifted his head as more bird calls echoed around them and the expansive wings of cranes and egrets soared above them.
