The Water and the River (Part 1)

"Using air magic like that is cheating and cruel!" Leria said in outrage.

"It is." Eiros nodded. "But it also works so people still do it. Or at least they try. There are sentinels all around the lakes and they'll light a flare at the first spark of lightning so be careful what you do."

"I've never fished before." Raaz scratched his head. "I didn't have time to waste hanging out at the Philo River even when I was young."

"Me neither. That's why I brought us here, Dad." Lith said. "We can learn together."

Aran and Leria wanted to point out they had already fished with magic, but Raaz's joyous expression shut them up.

The Baron had brought fishing rods and baits for everyone. He taught his guests the basics and then everyone chose their spot.

"Remember, guys, fishing is about patience and luck." He said. "Take your time and enjoy the peace of nature."
