"Hello?" Mikki looked in every direction, hoping for a small glimpse of human life, but nobody was around. "Hello?" She spoke louder, hoping that a kind and gentle person would appear out of the mist. This place is nothing but a graveyard for ships. Am I supposed to even be here? She pulled a slip of paper out of her pocket. This is the right address, but no one is here. I expected at the very least a building or something. The fog was dense. She could barely see in front of her and almost all sound was muffled. She put down her backpack, but kept one hand on it in case she needed to defend herself. Inside were your basic living necessities, a box of Cheez-Its, and her liquid shuriken. I'm starving. She opened her backpack and searched for the Cheez-Its, keeping one eye out for any life-form. She slowly munched on her snack, halfway praying that no one would hear her. Anyone who would willingly hang around here has to be weird. Wait...I'm hanging around here. She shook her head, shaking her mind of that thought. She didn't want to be considered weird. At her old school, she was very popular. Status was important to her. A strange noise came up from one of the dead ships. "Who's there?" She dropped the crackers and pulled out her shuriken. Hiding it behind her back, she took a step towards the ship. "Didn't you hear me? I asked who's there?" Another noise came from behind her. She spun gracefully around, facing the other direction. "I...I'm not afraid to fight, you know?" In truth, she was terrified of fighting. She had never truly fought before, and she didn't want to start now. Putting on more bravado than she really had, she summoned up the courage to throw her shuriken forward. It hit nothing and came back to her. She jumped up in the air to catch it and landed softly. She whirled around and threw it in the opposite direction, still hitting nothing. Guess my mind is just playing tricks on me again. Laughing nervously, she sat down on the dock to finish her Cheez-Its.

The midnight air clouded the vision of Mikki as she stood alone in the shipyard. Several noises could be heard from deep within the forest behind her. While some animals slept for the night, others we out hunting. This noise was muffled by the thick cloud of fog, but this made it even more creepy.
From along the shore on which Mikki stood, a distant sound of footsteps could be heard making their way down the shore. As these steps grew ever so so closer, the full moon appeared from behind a cloud in the sky. The moon's slight illuminated the area as its rays reflected off of the fog. This light made the fog seem for dense and the bright light blinded Mikki.
From the fog strode a young-looking man. Garbed in a silvery white robe, he held no weapons. His long hair was as dark as the midnight sky, but a faint smile was visible across his face. A scar was concealed along his cheek by his hair and he generally looked like a pleasant person.
He walked over to Mikki, who still had a frightened look on her face. He placed his hand on the shuriken and lowered it down.
"There is no reason to fear," this man said, "you are safe now. My name is Olddan and welcome to Twilight Moon Academy. What is your name?"

Olddan? That's an odd name. "I am Mikki LaFevre. Are you here to take me to the Academy?" She knew that was a stupid question. Of course, he just said he was here to take her. The man seemed friendly. He was non-threating, so she stood up. "Do you want some Cheez-Its?" He must have been the one who was making those noises. Good thing I didn't hit him or I certainly wouldn't be allowed in the Academy. She held out her crackers as a sort of peace offering. "I'm sorry I tried to attack you. I thought you were some sort of monster." She laughed nervously, hoping that he would accept her apology. Her teal hair blew in the wind. She picked up her backpack and put it over her left shoulder, and then picked up her shuriken in her right hand. "Am I ready to go to Twilight Moon Academy?" I can't wait. It'll be great.

"Oh no, I could not," Olddan said kindly with a smile on his face as he gestured his hand towards the cheeze-it Mikki was holding in her hand. "You are ready to go to Twilight Moon Academy, but there is one test that you must complete."
He raised his hand to his left and the fog quickly parted and revealed a large lake. Far in the distance, the light of Twilight Moon could be seen faintly.
"If your powers are able to, you must find a way to get me and yourself across this lake. This task is not mandatory, but it is helpful if you want to be able to test your powers."

It may not be mandatory, but I bet something good will happen if I get us both across. But, I only know of one way to get across, and I don't want to have to give up a year of my life. Maybe the master was just joking. Besides, I'm going to live until at least 70 anyways. What's one more year of being old? Mikki held up her shuriken high in the air. "I apologize. This is about to sound very cheesy. Water God! Absorb into my shuriken!" Forming high in the air was a blue dragon. Behind her came a tidal wave. "Olddan. Hold on!" She grabbed his arm and jumped high into the air, landing straight on the dragon's back. As she held on to one of the dragon's spikes, the wave grew underneath them. Ships were disappearing underneath the water as it threatened to swallow everything in sight. But, luckily, they reached the other side before the entire school was drowned. She hopped off the dragon, taking Olddan with her. The dragon, the wave, the destruction, it all disappeared. Nothing seemed out of place. "So, this is the Academy?"

Olddan jumped off the large dragon, landing on the grassy ground before Mikki did. "Yes," he said with a sigh, "this is the academy. Now...there are many classes that you can attend here to improve your skills, but you must get a schedule first.
For the first 6 periods of the day, you will have the same schedule as everyone else: 1: Magic 2: Weaponry 3: Alchemy 4: Beastry 5: Master 6: BREAK
Then comes the optional classes.
For period 7 classes, you may choose ONE of the three: Music, History, Potionry
For period 8 classes, you may choose ONE of the three: Holy, Flare, Summoning
For period 9 classes, you may choose ONE of the three: Dragoon, Samurai, Thievery
For period 10 classes, you may choose ONE of the two: Puppetmaster, Survival
You may think this over for a second."

Mikki knew exactly what she wanted. "For electives, I want music, summoning, thievery, and puppet-mastery." Then, she felt something rub against her leg. It was furry, but she didn't want to take any chances. She reached for her shuriken, ready to strike whatever it was when she happened to glance down. "Kana! How did you get here?" She picked Kana Reign up and held her close. "Sir, can I bring Kana Reign along with me? She won't cause any trouble; I promise! She's potty-trained, doesn't chew, and everything! She can even do a backflip!" Mikki pointed at Kana and spoke in a firm voice. "Chiquenaude!" Kana flipped over herself. "See?"

"Sure," Olddan said petting Kana, "you may bring Kana with you to the academy and before I forget, here is your schedule." He quickly brought out a piece of paper and wrote down Mikki's schedule and handed it over to her. "Also, I have a surprise for you."
Olddan reached into his pocket and pulled out a long necklace. At its base, there was a a large diamond. "This is a diamond necklace, but diamonds can hold magical properties as well. This necklace has the power to summon a low-level, defensive Wolf to aid you in battle. Be careful, the diamond draws energy from its wearer, so make sure you have enough energy to summon the wolf."
