Qinghe squinted her eyes, examining the pond. They had all walked past this one pond, so she decided to take a closer look, in case she missed something. Unfortunately, she saw nothing; the water wasn't deep and was very clear, allowing her to see right to the bottom.

As she was about to leave the pond, Qinghe's steps faltered, and she slowly walked toward the center of the pond. The closer she got to the pond, the more noticeable the changes in the stone became. At first, it was just a red glow on the surface, but now it began to tremble incessantly, as though it wanted to emerge.
