Everyone climbs inside the large paddle boat and Garret does the paddling. They paddle through the calm but dark waters of the lake.
"Be careful not to fall in. There is a reason why the water is so dark. You see, this lake connects dimensions. If you fall in, you could sink through a portal to a sub dimension of Tounela. That's why we need to watch out for giant squids. They sometimes escape from that dimension into this lake."

"Tounela?" Freak Boy asked curiously, casting out his rod. He had a shrimp on the end of one hook and a lure on the end of the other. Best to see what the fish like.

"Tounela is the check in world for the dead. It is the land of the dead where people who do not go to Taivas or Hell remain."

"I was always under the impression that when we died we just sat rotting in the ground." Freak Boy said with a shrug, waiting patiently for something to bite his lure.

"Hmm, well that is the way it should be. Maybe you can ask the fish about that."
Elijah watches the bobber bob under the water.
"Oh, it looks like you have one...reel it in and let's ask it some questions."

Freak Boy holds up a finger.
"Shh... wait for it." he says. He lets the bobber go under a little longer as the fish swims down with the bait. He stands up slowly without yanking the rod, then he yanks it back with all his might to set the hook.
He begins reeling.
"Whoah! These things are strong." Freak Boy says, turning down the drag and reeling with more power.

"Yes, they like to put up a fight. Their knowledge is important to them."
Elijah watches him reel in the fish.
"There is an easier way..."
"Here fishy fishy fishy fishy..." And two fish jump into the boat.

Freak Boy finishes reeling in his fish, then sees Elijah do his "fishy fishy" thing. He gives him a sour, jealous look.
"Showoff..." he says poutily.

Elijah laughs.
"Go ahead, ask the fish whatever you like, but be warned, some are wiser than others. The Gold fish are the wisest and the rarest."

Garret's legs are getting tired, so he stops paddling for a moment. He sits quietly to listen to the wisdom of the fish.

((sry i havent posted sooner))
Linnea looked in Garrets direction and nodded.
"Yeah it's nice to have a break from them," she sighed. "I was starting to feel a lot of tension in Helsinki."

"I'm glad that you came as well Linnea. I hope that maybe this shows you more about the way of life of angels." Elijah says to Linnea.
(I'll assume you are in the boat with us)

Freak Boy thought for a second, then held up a red fish. He looked at it and decided to start with the most obvious, but probably the most irrelivant question.
"Why are we here?"

"Yeah, I have been very distant with the life of the angels." Linnea smiled.

The fish stares at Freakboy with its greenish brown eyes. It thinks long and hard and finally answers:
"Humans are the orphans of creation. You reason for your existance is to find your family. Most do not find this until death."
