Eventually, he found a door saying THE POND OF PEACE. The door was surprisingly light as he pushed.

He appeared in a forest with a crystal clear pond in the middle. A growl came from the pond. He had just drawn a fish; what was making that noise?

Chapter 3 The Pond Of Peril

Distracted from the noise (which he disregarded as imagination) he took in the Pond of Peace. The summer forest had trees laden with fruit: peaches, mangoes and sweet apples​. In the centre, a deep, warm clear pond, that was surrounded by cherry blossom trees, rippled gently in the light breeze. The warm wind calmed him from the great excitement he had been feeling in this incredible Emporium. This room certainly matched its name. The book of secrets must be very powerful to create this amazing thing. A perfect cobbled path stretched to the gleaming mirror in the centre. Swiftly, a lark soared above the serene scene below.

Without warning, a monstrous head full of needle teeth and two fury-filled eyes, like evil beacons, reared up at the lark. Within seconds, the monstrous fish had slammed its jaws around the poor bird and tumbled into the pond again. Petrified, Sam stared at the spot the fish had been. Before he could move, the beast had locked on a new target and was swimming towards it. The target was Sam. At lightning speed, the fish leapt and Sam ran. The monster powered after. It had huge algae covered legs! He ran towards the path where the door was. As he rounded the corner, he realised that the door was gone! He turned to face the demon-fish, heart pounding like an African Drum. Panting like a dog, The creature laughed a bloodcurdling gurgling laugh. Its prey had no escape.
