Vopak whipped this line into the waters of Verita Bay. His little sister, Vora, looks over his shoulder and smiles.
"What kinda bait are you using?" Vora asked. "I here these fish only take the best."
"Well, I'm using the best," Vopak replied. "My own blend of bugs and sugar. They flock to it like flies to honey."
His line snags, and Vopak reels it in. His little sister gaps as he lands the large fish. A smile spreads across her face.
"I want to try!" Vora exclaimed.
Vopak smiles broadly, handing her the pole, "Now, be sure to hold on tight. Sometimes these fish are stronger than you."
Vora clutched onto the pole, "Vopak, the current is really strong."
"I know, Vora," Vopak sighed. "Hold on."
The rod is almost ripped from Vora's hand, but she bears down and yanks backwards, pulling the large fish at the end of the line up out of the water and onto the shore. Vopak cheers as Vora beams.
"I did it, Vopak! I did it!"
"Yes, you did, Vora," Vopak cheered.

Their mother beamed as she saw her two children walking back home, each carrying a bundle of fish, "We'll eat like the House Heads tonight!" She exclaimed.
Vopak laughed as he hand the fish to his mother, "Without the servants of course."
"Of course," His mother laughed, taking Vora's bundle as well.
Vora laughed softly, hugging herself as she skipped off. Vopak smiled after her as he turned into his room.
