Crossing his arms, the black haired man frowned slightly. His eyes scanned the water around him, his eyebrows narrowed.
Was he here on time...?
Without thinking he gently touched his swath that was attached to his belt. His fingers traced over the lines that were engraved making a series of swirls and lines. Who was he waiting for in the first place?
He tried to look into the fog, but couldn't see anymore then 5 feet ahead of him... why would they want him here?
Uneasiness made him restless he shifted from foot to foot, swaying with the cold wind that blew.

A quiet tune hummed its way down the Ghost Shipyards. The air, previously bustling with life immediately silenced, listening to the music. The music slowly grew louder as it seemingly made its way towards the boy. The grass began growing swiftly and visibly, and several flowers wrapped itself around the base of Dark Link's legs. The air seemed to sparkle in the dark light, shimmering all around.
The music was all around Dark Link now, and the source of it was now seen. A woman stood close by, one arm resting ontop of a tall tree stump. The woman's eyes were the soft shade of autumn leaves, and her short, curly, silver white hair was pinned up neatly in the back of her head. Though out of all this, the most noticable feature of the woman were the two snow-colored fox ears on her head. She was wearing a simple tunic of a white-blue color, and a silver chain wrapped around her neck twice. One each side of her matching skirt were two daggers, both dangerously sharp and glowing white.
The woman bowed low then spoke, "Dark Link? I am Nightfox, your Master Teacher at Twilight Moon Academy! A Master Teacher's job is to instruct their student, you, on how to control their own special ability or abilities! But first- we need to get to the school. Do you have an preferences? We could walk, take a boat, fly, summon a beast, or use our powers. Anything you'd like." Nightfox smiled.

Before he saw the woman before him, all Dark Link could sense was a humming- almost as in a trance he feet turned to stone. His pupils dilated, until something snapped him out of his trance. He let out a small gasp and took a step back his leather boot crunching the sand beneath his feet.
A vine slithered up his leg like a snake, and was almost at his waist when he heard the humming once more. He shook his head until he saw something afoot, half hidden. He almost said something when she spoke first. When she spoke, her voice seemed different then she looked like she would. She seemed almost like a goddess, someone who would speak very little, all wisely.
Though he would never ever admit it, he felt relived when she spoke with a friendly tone. "Yes, I am Dark Link." He said curtly, and feeling as if it would be foolish not to return the juster, he bowed back slightly making his earing bounce up and down. He lifted one, sleek raven colored eyebrow as she made her offer. "I- I'm good with anything." his words stumbled out, he was in shock. Could she REALLY do all of those things?

Nightfox smiled kindly, "Yes, I can." Her eyes twinkled with delight and mystery. The vixen woman turned around and lifted her arms in a raising motion. The water began to tremble and a long, solid dirt road pushed itself to the surface. She stepped onto the pathway and began walking towards the distant dot of the Academy, her hands tucked into unseen pockets, humming a sweet melody.

Startled, he yanked free of the vine with a wild yank and hesitated at the dock. His golden eyes flickered in the gloom uneasily, as he reluctantly took a step on the dirt road.
He looked at the woman, feeling angry with himself. He couldn't show fear. Fear. That word.. it made his mad. He would have to dismiss the unnatural feeling of being in the middle of a lake. Curiosity got the best of him as he slowly stuck out his left hand into the water. It quivered, like he was hurting it but he didn't recoil. It was water... how could she do that?! There was so much water... it was impossible! But... there was always the thought of magic. . .
He had never really believed in magic, but here before him was undeniable proof. He slowly pulled his hand free, and silently slipped ofter the Master Teacher.

A laugh echoed in the silence that hung low in the foggy area around them, as a smile played upon Nightfox's face. The woman waved her hand at her student and began to speak, "Now that we have a while to walk to the Academy, I'll begin your first lesson by teaching you about myself. Nightfox is my only name; I have no last name. It was given to me at the age of 99 when I had graduated from my Elementary Lessons. As you might have guessed already, I am Immortal."
Nightfox paused dramatically, as if allowing the vastness of her life-limit sink into Dark Link's mind, then continued, "At the age of 300 I was completely finished with my Advanced Lessons, and I left my domain, which I will as of now not tell you about until you have earned my trust."
Once more she paused, this time with a slight smile on her face, showing Dark Link that though she was in good humor, she was still serious. She once more picked up where she left off, "For two hundred more years, I had traveled the Mortal Realms in search of a suitable game to keep me amused for the next thousand years, or until I was ready to return home to seek a mate. Around my 500th birthday, I found Twilight Moon Academy, and won over the coveted job of a Master Teacher."
She turned quite sharply and stuck her face near her student's, "And now I'm 1,500! Now, what about you? Tell me about your past. Don't be shy!" Her brown-red eyes twinkled joyfully, as she turned around and continued walking down the path, her light hair swaying in the wind.

99?! To get your name at 99?! The black haired man stared at the woman before him. Why! She didn't look old at all! And to think- 1,500?! His mind could not begin to grasp the thought. He nodded every now and then, taking in her words in awe.
Avoiding her question, he couldn't resist "How- how did you become immortal? Were you born that way?!" He... just couldn't believe it! Sure he had know many powerful people but immortal? That was usually used by cocky overseers. But the way she said it, so calmly seeming to dare anything in the world to try to kill her- it stunned him. 'How?!' his mind screamed, as his golden gaze flickered a tint of red in one eye.

Nightfox giggled insanely, "Cocky overseers? I'm honored you think me higher than that. I admit I can have a bit of an arrogant attitude at times, but it comes from living several generations through. Though I should tell you I'm considered quite young for my Clan. I'm the same as a young adult in mortal view. Maybe around 20?"
She grinned, flashing pearl-white teeth, "Now, to answer your spoken question, I was born Immortal. My family, and the rest of my clan, has been Immortal since the day we were founded. How's that to float your boat?" She laughed, and held out her hand. A stem sprouted from the center of her palm, then split into several long green strands. The ends of the stems sprouted maginificent white, flowing flowers. She hummed to herself as she amused herself with these plants.

'Born... Immortal?' When she stopped, he caught up to her, his shoulders stiff as he approached. His black hair hung in his eyes, but he didn't bother to slip his hair behind his ear. 'It's... so strange.' His eyes studied her, narrowing with curiosity. He shook his hand slightly and watched her play with the flowers in her palm. 'Where they eating her flesh?' His eyes were glued to her hand as he looked at the base, after a moment he voiced his question.
He wanted to know. Questions bubbled in his mind. He had to know or he couldn't rest. It was just who he was. He blinked slowly, and sighed. His multi-colored eyes crept u to her face, no expression shone in his eyes. "Will you tell me?"
In his old life as he called it, he had limited information. He hated that. It drove him insane he naturally wanted to know about everything with so much going on it was like being isolated with people who wouldn't help you. It drove this man insane.

The flowers leapt off of Nightfox's palm and settled on Dark Link's shoulder, like a cat in a warm blanket. She held up her bare palm, unscathed and perfectly smooth, "The plants grow about a milimeter above my skin, it's quite handy at times. They also stay attached to what humans like to call an "aura" that immortals seem to have at times." She nodded, and as if to prove this, she held out her arm. Plants, vines, and flowers all flowed around her arm thickly, like green armour.

He studied her, his eyes never leaving hers- until there was a plant on his shoulder. His eyes flashed gold, and he took a quick step back in surprise. When it was explained, his look of surprise faded away. A smile tugged at his lips but it never grew. His eyes fell onto the water around them, as it stood up like a brick wall. "How long can you hold this up for?" he asked, raising a thin raven colored eyebrow.
His eyes went right back to the water. There could be something in there. That wouldn't be any good. He frowned then his gaze returned to his mentor.

Nightfox patted the water caringly, "Oh I'm not holding it up! In fact, it'll be comming down on us any moment now!"
She paused, then laughed merrily, causing the water to shake, as if laughing with her. A close inspection deeper into the water could show that the plants, trembling in joy from Nightfox's delight, were the cause of this. The woman spoke, "I'm just kidding! We're safe. The plants are using their own power for me to hold back the water." She nodded.

When the water shook, he swiftly backed up ready to swim his shoulders were tense and his eyes were golden. His gaze darted wildly around, his eyes flickered slightly. When she announced they were safe he bristled. 'Calm down... calm down...' he soothed himself. 'She's just trying to get to you...' he closed his eyes briefly, trying not to let his anger pour out. He took one last deep breath and walked over.
The water all around him made Dark Link uneasy. He shifted from foot to foot with each passing heartbeat. "This doesn't make you... restless? They fact that mere plants are holding up thousands of gallons of water?" he almost yelled, whipping out a hand almost curled into a fist. The fact that she had just messed with him- saying they were going under-- it made him panicky.

Nightfox smiled, then spoke, "Well, since it bothers you so much that you don't think a Master Teacher with 1,500 years of experience can't hold back two mere walls of water, we'll fix that." The dirt path began rising past the water until it laid just above the water's surface. It even had a small guardrail on each side. Nightfox grinned, and continued walking, "Now would be a good time to discuss your schedule:
For the first 6 periods of the day, everyone will have the same schedual: 1: Magic 2: Weaponry 3: Alchemy 4: Beastry 5: Master 6: BREAK
Then comes the optional classes.
For period 7 classes, students choose ONE of the three: Music, History, Potionry
For period 8 classes, students choose ONE of the three: Holy, Flare, Summoning
For period 9 classes, students choose ONE of the three: Dragoon, Samurai, Theivery
For period 10 classes, students choose ONE of the two: Puppetmaster, Survival
Pick the classes you'd like to take, and tell me so I can make you a schedule!" She held a notebook in the air, "Ask me if you have any questions."

When the ground rose under his feet he stumbled back, his eyes narrowing. When it stopped he shook his head. 'How many surprises are in store for me at this school? If this is just the walk there...' He looked up as Night fox began to speak. 'these classes- they could come in handy-' He continued listening intensely when she said his first three options, History stood out to him. In the next cluster Summoning... that could come in handy... And If he learned to summon a dragon- Dragoon would be a good class but- Samurai would teach him new sword techniques. And With Flare, he could cast spells onto his weapons... He pondered as he listened to the options for the 10th class. Survival.
Smoothly, he spoke like a rock less rive never missing a beat. "History, Flare, Samurai, And Survival." He held the hilt of his sword in his left hand while his golden eyes were transfixed onto Night foxes eyes. "Do I have to prove anything to get these classes?"
