I Fell In To a Freezing Ring of Water!

Natha gazed through the young arctic forest that lay in the heart of the island. Now that looked a bit more hospitable but Natha had already decided that she didn't want to live anywhere she had to swim to. The male introduced himself as Kai and stated that he hadn't been to the island before. She nodded. "Yea, it's my first time here too." She chuckled and nodded swiftly in agreement as Kai mentioned that he wasn't the water loving sort. "Me neither! If it weren't for my bloody curiosity I would've left well enough alone."

She padded to a nearby tree and leaned against it as she peered down into the bowl of the island. "It is pretty, I'm gonna get a closer look at the water I think." She started the descent, figuring she ought to at least make the trip worth it. When she reached the lake and bent her head for a drink she was surprised to see it was made of fresh water. "Uh, it's not salty. Must've collected from the rain… say Kai, you an explorer at all? I'm thinking of exploring the Polar Sound if you wanted to join me."
