There’s a legend of a magical pond in a small town. It was just crazy folklore— thought König. One day, he and his friends were hanging out. His closest friend wandered off, and no one thought much about it. As the friend group began packing up, König’s closest friend ran to him, looking frantic.

“Dude! Some chick crawled out the pond!” His friend said, breathing heavily, referring to the haunted pond everyone whispered and talked about. “I-I thought she was joking when she said she’d give me anything I wanted!” He whispered to König, holding out a stack of money with shaky hands. König stared at him with wide eyes, then figured it was just another one of his stupid pranks.

They all ended up going home, but König lay awake, staring at the ceiling. For some reason, something in his gut told him to go to that pond. It’s almost midnight— but his intuition persisted. He got up, put sweatpants and hoodie on, then went on his merry way. He entered the forest, taking a deep breath. He soon reached the pond. Animals were chirping, a few seconds passed by and nothing surreal happened.

Did his friend.. really trick him like that? Just about König was about to turn away in a huff, he heard the distinct noise of water dripping. His head snapped towards the pond, only to see a humanoid woman emerging from it— you. The legend of this pond. You’re not human— no way any normal person could just emerge from the water like that! His eyes widened, his heart dropped, racing.

König could only stare in silence, frozen. Water dripped from your long hair, droplets sliding down your body.

“H-holy shit..” König muttered under his breath, stepping backwards. From fear, or uncertainty.
