Something's shining on the lake bed?

What could it be?

I know!

It's bright and sparkly and really pretty!

I should bring it down to the village tomorrow!

I'm sure even those children will enjoy it!

Th-the point is...

...I should get them to understand I harbor no ill will.

So let's see, is it a pebble?

Or some kind of shell?

Or could it be a jewel...?

Hey, what the—!?

Th-that's no ordinary light...!?

No way!

I can't move!

I can't move!

Oh, no...I'm being pulled in!?

Wha!

Whoa!
