#two royals

(Starter for @exalteye​)

In recent days, an interesting rumor had made its ears over to Owain (meaning in this case that Owain had more or less blatantly eavesdropped on two other students as they spoke in the dining hall): apparently there was something very, very interesting going on with the fishing pond on the monastery’s grounds. Rumor had it that there was a Golden Fish in the pond, a mysterious and resplendent creature that would confer good fortune to those who caught it and ate it... and while it was true that most of Owain’s act was indeed an act, he did see no reason why there couldn’t be some magic luck fish! And, boy, he was feeling like he could use some magic fish luck about now.

So Owain ended up at the side of the fishing pond... pondering. He didn’t actually know how to fish, he had to admit -- he’d never really had the opportunity to practice with a fishing rod, and he wasn’t going to risk rusting any of his swords. So he decided... he was going to have to do this the direct way. He’d managed to catch a fish with his bare hands before, even, back in the hungry days of the future! Sure, it had taken around an hour and been a horribly messy process, but it was proof of concept. Owain gingerly laid down his precious yellow coat on a rock near the pond, and put down each of his weapons carefully and lovingly by the rock, before swan-diving into the pond.
