The Arrival of the.....Squeek

[squeek]

"Ooooah!" Squeek frowned, swinging its head from side to side. Water. Oh how Squeek hated water.
It was sitting on the shore, as far away from the water as phsyically possible without going into the woods. Hoping something would happen because Squeek's stomach started to frighten it's hamster with the sounds it made. Then again, if it came to crossing this....lake, thing, Squeek was could definitely wait.
Though, its inexorable desire to become a better fighter held it fast. Holding its socially inept and almost gauche body in place so that it may learn to be better at everything it needed to be. And maybe more!
But, right now, all Squeek really wanted was something to munch on. So did the little rodent now curled on top of its head.

Suddenly, the murky depths of the Ghost Shipyard's waters began to bubble and ripple rapidly, turning from color-to-color: red, orange, green, blue, pink, purple, yellow...Then, the ever-changing waters parted into what seems to be a gigantic whirpool- a watery torrent of swirling color and a dazzling spectacle indeed. From the center of the whirpool there arose a head of long, wavy, dark blue hair and then the head of a man with pale, green skin that shimmered with small droplets of water. The whirpool continued to give way to the man until his full body was completely in line if vision.

As was mentioned, he had a head fully adorned with dark, navy blue tresses and pale, green skin to boot, and they were accompanied by two long, thin, pointed ears that protruded from either side of his head. Tall with a lean, muscular figure and a stern face sporting a hooked nose, he was clad in nothing but a long, flowing garment that covered only his lower body and resembled that of the bottom half of a robe. It, like his skin, was green, but it was not made of ordinary cloth. An arrangement of seaweed, shells, and other objects were intricately woven together to make the garment, and it shimmered in the pale light that had somehow managed to filter through the ominous, grey clouds of the Ghost Shipyard skies. His hands were long-fingered and webbed just like his feet and he resembled some kind of sea creature. In his hand was grasped a long, golden trident, its tips long, sharp, and gleaming as it stood nearly as tall as its weilder. However, what was most interesting about this man was the fact that from his backside there protruded a long, scaly green tale that was not unlike a fish's. It flicked back and forth broodingly as he examined his new student with much precsion and curiosity. His voice was deep and unmistakably masculine as he spoke, but behind its rough exterior there resided a musical, melodious tone...In other words, it was simply inhuman...

"I bring greetings and great tidings from the waters of Twilight Moon Academy to the one they call 'Squeek'. " He then smiled, lay his trident across his bare, toned chest, and bowed low. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Arcadian Hydrafyn, and I shall be your intructor here at TMA."

((Welcome to TMA! =D You'll like it here, trust me. I started a while ago and just couldn't stop! xDDD If you need any help on anything, don't hesitate to ask me or any of the other Mod's, m'kay? =3 So with that said....WELCOME ABOARD! ^__^))

[squeek]

(Lol, thanks. Squeek likes its new teacher!^^)


"FISH!" Squeek pointed. It liked fish! They smelled funny! They looked funny! They also tasted pretty good.......
But it still didn't move any closer to the water. The fact that it's teacher looked like a tasty treat and/or overall nice person didn't change Squeek's feelings about water, or any other liquid for that matter.
Then how was it to get to school?
Squeek knew!
It began to run across the deck until it was close enough to jump onto Arcadian's shoulders. Being small and light, Squeek figured it wouldn't be that hard for someone as strong as his new teacher to hold it up!
Unfortunatly, this wasn't the case. Actually reaching Arcadian was a little harder then the bouncy creature had previously thought. And it was soon reminded exactly why it hated water SO much.

((Well, I'm glad he likes 'im. =D))

Arcadian chuckled in amusement and faltered for a moment as he responded to Squeek's calling him "fish". "Uh-...heh, well, not quite, but perhaps something along those lines." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and flashed Squeek a smile. His eyes then widened in surprise as the creature tried to jump onto his shoulders but had a bit of trouble doing so. Arcadian scooped up the poor, soaked creature and placed it on his shoulders. "There we go. Better? Well, then, I suppose we ought to get going." And with that, he turned into the general direction of TMA and took off at an amazingly high speed which left a trail of ripples and flecks of water in his tracks. Even though he was not completely submerged due to his student on his back who seemed to possess an acute sense of hydrophobia, his fish-like tail acted as a sort of paddle and propelled them through the waters as he kept just his torso surfaced.

"Now," he addressed his student, not even slightly out of breath as he pressed onward, "You have a few mandatory classes which include Master, Alchemy, Beastry, Magic, and Weaponry. However, you can choose as many electives as you please. These include History, Life skills, Music, Potionry, Puppetmaster, Study Hall, and Samurai, so how's about it? Care to take a go at any of them?"

As freezing as it was, Squeek managed to focus enough to hear his teacher talk through the rushing of wind past its head. Actually, it was speaking that was the difficult part, at least to Squeek. So it tried to mimic the sounds its teacher made.
"L....lif...eh...life ski! Studi!" Squeek smiled its big toothy grin, it was so proud of itself! "Fish!"
Moofie, the hamster, clung to Squeek's hair for dear life. It also seemed quite happy for the tiny tiger person. "Food munchies!"
Squeek gurgled happily, watching the water zip by through the fog. Along with all the strange aquatic creatures that seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. So far, everything seemed to be going well.


(Whoo, short post. Oh well, I'll get some good ones in tommorrow.^^)

"I take it as Life Skills and Study Hall, eh? Not a bad choice." Arcadian continued on his journey for about another 5 minutes until the peak of the large, daunting silhouette of Twilight Moon Academy could be seen sitting benignly upon the horizon of the pale, grey sky. "Ah," said Arcadian to his student, "We're nearly there!"

The structure was, as it had appeared from far away, very large and resembled that of a medieval castle with its stone consistency and a multitude of towers and parapets. The doors of the building were nothing short of ominous and looming, yet, in some strange sort of way, it possessed a welcoming presence as if in the sense of a new beginning. Arcadian halted on the sandy shores of the academy, his tail ceasing its rapid movements to curl up behind him. "Sadly, this is were we must depart....for now. But before I forget..." he reached into a "seaweed" pocket of his garment and pulled out what looked to be some sort of red, sapphire orb. "This is for you." And he handed Squeek the gleaming object.

***Squeek received the Orb of Drakkan***
The "Orb of Drakkan" provides the bearer the ability to summon a vicious, miniature dragon onto the battlefield for a total of 3 turns. This creature is capable of doubling the amount of damage the user does to its opponent, or acting as a substitute for the user. In this case, the dragon will take a hit and immediately disappear, leaving its summoner unscathed for that phase.

"I wish you the best of luck in your journey, Squeek," said the man as he began backing into the waters. "Perhaps we shall meet again one day. " And with that being said, the waters began to shift, faster and faster until they had formed a large, multi-colored whirlpool. And with a salute of his trident as he raised it in the air, Arcadian Hydrafyn sank back into the watery depths, the whirlpool instantly disappearing, leaving behind nothing but still, smooth water.

(( Don't worry, writer's block gets the best of us. X__x; Trust me, I know. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to make up the name and ability for that orb?! >__< xDDD Hope you make good use of it.))

[squeek]

(I'll try. ^^)


"Ah!" Squeek waved, already missing the fish named Arcadian. It then looked at the orb curiously, tried to bite it, held it up to the sky, played with it. This was the greatest thing on the planet! (Even though it didn't taste the greatest)
But now Squeek was confused. What was it supposed to do now?
"Moofie?" The little white hamster scurried between Squeek's legs towards the academy. Squeek followed with it's eyes, now sitting on its head in the wet sand. How very large this academy was. How very scary.
Squeek held the orb up and looked at the academy through it. Now it looked small and right side up! And red, very red.
Then Moofie interrupted by clawing Squeek's nose! How rude! But it followed anyway, tail flicking back and forth curiously.
