[say]"Swimming is fun, but the water can be dangerous if you don't know how. Once we're finished here, we'll go to the shallows along the coast and I'll give you a lesson, okay?"[/say] He smiled. The last thing he needed was for her to end up in trouble in the water, especially with how she liked to wander off.
But back to the L'ma. [say]"Not very sad,"[/say] he assured her. [say]"The L'ma used to be a big, beautiful bird. But it was cast down into the ocean without its wings. Nobody knows why."[/say] Or perhaps they did, but Ronin had never met anyone who knew the whole story. [say]"So now, it has to swim around forever, instead of being up in the sky. But,"[/say] and here his voice took on a hushed tone - this was where the adventure lay. [say]"They say it lives at the bottom of this deep pool. If you get the shiniest and best stone you can, you can throw it into the pool and make a wish. The L'ma will grant the wishes of those who threw the prettiest stones. Or so they say."[/say]
