Just Dive In

Jupiter stared into the flaming lake, as though he was waiting to see something appear out from its secrets. The sunset glimmered and glamoured its way onto its surface, and small silver fish leapt up and dove back down, piercing its glassy ceiling, causing little ripples on an otherwise pristine surface.
