Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, the surface of Lake of Life lay as still as a piece of ink-dark glass polished over and over, reflecting the layered canopy overhead and the scattered moonlight filtering through.
Di Tian knelt on one knee in the shadows by the lakeshore, his posture lowered to the utmost. He glanced up at the silver figure sitting three feet above the lake's surface.
