The sound is coming from the middle of the lake, but it is a sound so pure and harmonious that it seems to reverberate on every surface, coming from all directions at once.

"Music", the boy thinks as he reaches the water, but he knows this isn't exactly true. The sound is turning louder with every passing second and as it does so, our hero can see ripples forming on the surface of the water, growing larger and larger until they reach the shore and disappear at his feet.

"Someone is singing". As the thought crosses his mind, a form emerges from the lake.

Only the head and shoulders are standing above the water, but it makes no doubt to the boy that those belong to a woman. He cannot make out the words she is singing, much less the language, but he finds himself mesmerised by the song, unable to move and think clearly.
