Astoundingly blue even at sunset, the little lake seems almost supernaturally colored. Of course, a ranger like Darius knew that it was more likely due to the powdery "rock flour" that grinds off the mountain runoff changing the way light was perceived. Still, however, the effect was a turquoise blue of startling intensity. The waters of the lake seem almost opaque due to dissolved matter. A tangle of old and new animal tracks are vaguely visible around the edges, mostly mountain goat it would seem.
Kynee feels her cat medallion hum faintly against her skin once at the lake's edge. It's an especially soft vibration, not the rattling normally accompanying the presence of a monster. Strange.
As Talashia follows, hoping to get a rise out of the ranger who she had been on the road with the past 3 days, she gets a tingling feeling along the base of her spine upon examining the lake. Magic. After a moment she is certain there is some kind of illusory magic imbuing the lake.
