The secret lake in a town

A story of a lake in a town which have some secret

By Mind writerPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a small town nestled among high hills, there was a mysterious lake known as Geleskon.

Legend had it that the lake was magical, six feet deep below the surface. No one dared to approach him for fear of the secrets he possessed.

In this town lived a curious young girl named Iqra. She had heard stories of Geleskon all her life, but unlike the others, she felt deeply drawn to him.

One sunny afternoon, while her parents were busy with errands, Iqra decided to explore the Forbidden Lake.

As she neared the edge, a gentle breeze blew through the trees, as if beckoning her closer. With trembling hands, Iqra dipped her toe in the cold water.

To his surprise, the surface glistened like liquid glass, reflecting the clouds above.

Ignoring the voices buzzing over her head, Iqra walked deeper into the lake. The water fell to his ankles, then to his knees, then to his waist.

With each step, he felt a strange sensation, as if the lake itself was alive and running with energy.

Suddenly a voice echoed in his mind, soft and melodious. "Who dares disturb the sleep of Gelescon?" he asked.

Iqra froze, her heart pounding in her chest. "It's me, Iqra," he replied, his voice barely above a saintly one. "I just wanted to see what secrets you keep."

The voice echoed with laughter, a sound like a distant bell. "Curiosity is a powerful force, young lady. But be warned, not all secrets are meant to be revealed."

Despite the warning, Iqra felt a surge of determination. She wanted to know what lay beneath the surface of the lake, what secrets it guarded so fiercely.

Taking a deep breath, he jumped, diving headfirst into the icy depths. The water enveloped him like a cocoon, enveloping him in its embrace.

Down, down she would go, until she saw nothing but darkness.

But just as panic set in, Iqra saw a faint light in the distance. Rushing towards it, she soon found herself in a vast underwater cavern, illuminated by a soft, golden glow.

And there, in the heart of the cave, was a treasure beyond imagination. Shiny jewels are scattered across the sandy floor, while antique artifacts adorn the walls

. Iqra's eyes widened in surprise as she reached out to touch the wealth in front of her.

But as his fingers touched the glittering diamond, a shadow fell over the cave entrance. Sheila turned to see a towering figure in the doorway, his eyes blazing with anger.

"You have violated sacred ground," the figure added, its voice echoing through the cave. "These treasures belong only to Geleskon, and you have no right to claim them."

Iqra shivered realizing her mistake. She was so focused on uncovering the lake's secrets that she forgot to respect its boundaries.

"I'm sorry," tears welled up in her eyes. "I didn't mean any harm." I just... I just wanted to understand."

The figure studied him for a moment, his expression unreadable.

Then with a sigh he pointed to the treasures at Iqra's feet.

"Take what you will," he said, his voice softer now. "But remember this: true wisdom lies not in the pursuit of wealth, but in the appreciation of what you already have."

With those words, the figure disappeared into the shadows, leaving Iqra alone in the cave.

And when she returned to the surface, she knew she'd never forget the lesson she'd seen beneath the depths of Geleskon.
