"Is this the Dragon Abyss Road?"
"Elder with the discerning eye, the Dragon Abyss Road stretches for five hundred eighty-six miles, with the widest part being a full forty-six miles across. The depth is unknown, and it divides into three tiers of terraced platforms, each tier offering a different view."
"Outside rumors tell of the deepest part of Dragon Abyss Road leading to a deep abyssal dead zone, devoid of light, algae, and warmth, utterly lifeless. In reality, it is a vast, vibrant cold spring where the Dragon Sturgeon reside."
"Cold spring?"
"The cold of the cold spring is not a matter of temperature; it signifies a chilling descent. The Blue Water Pond within the Turtle Clan's territory is one of the cold springs of the Great Marsh—a river within a river, water within water. Not all cold springs are blessed, though; some are superior to others, and some carry deadly poisons that create a lethal area for miles."
"It sounds like a salt lake."
"Salt lake?"
