"And what a beautiful view."
Prospero stood atop a large rock overlooking the lake, one hand on his hip and the other holding his staff. He wore a light smirk on his face, betraying his inner thoughts. Glancing around, his smirk grew. "Ariel?"
Ariel appeared at his side with a mischevious grin as the wind began to pick up around them. "Yes, Master?"
"Tell me, Ariel. How many fish do you think are in this vast lake?"
The sprite laughed. "I do not know, Master, but I believe that we may soon find out!"
"You are too right." Prospero thrust his staff forward and raised his arms, using the wind Ariel controlled to lift the water up high, then higher, and higher! until he had it at the very spot he wanted it at. Grinning at Ariel, he nodded. "Give it a little push, my dear. Let's fill the mansion up."
With another laugh the sprite disappeared, and a strong gust of wind swept across the pillar of water towards the mansion, carrying the water with it.
Prospero watched as the water flowed out of the lake, carrying all the fish with it, and burst into the mansion, filling the main hallways with water and flopping, gasping trout. He sighed happily. Oh, the wonders he and Ariel could create! He rested against his staff.
Maybe the mansion residents would be pleased to know that they will never run out of trout.
