The ground crunched loudly beneath Damien's combat- like boots as he walked into the Ghost Shipyards. His shoulders where slightly hunched over and one of his hands was in the pocket of his plain red hoddie. An overstuffed backpack was on his shoulder and his new dual reaper was in his other hand. The shipyard greeted him with the smell of dead fish that had sat in the sun all day as the sun sank further down the horizon. Though it was getting dark, Damien still had his trademark sunglasses on. Being half vampire he had some red in his eyes and he wasn't proud of it. So he kept them on at all time so it would be impossible to tell what color his eyes where.
Damien walked onto the dock and stretched and yawned. He had gotten up 'early' today, risking sunburn to get here and hoped to get to the school soon. He stood there for a while before sitting down, moving the backpack in front him and leavening the dual reaper within reach. He unzipped the backpack and pulled out a bag, it contents where hard to make out inside the clouded wrapper. Damien pulled out a strip of meat, thin and shaped similar to jerky, and pushed it into his open mouth. Though it looked like jerky, it bent to easily and looked to pink to be jerky. In fact, it looked like raw meat, which indeed it was. Bacon to be exact. But it was Damien’s new favorite snack. He knew that it was unhealthy, and he probably would get some disease from it, but he had a new found love for raw meats… Damien continued to nibble on the bacon as he waited for his teacher, or whoever was going to take him to the school, to show up. He just hoped that whoever it was going to be wouldn’t be too freaked out by his little ‘snack’.

While Damien continued eating his food, a thick mist began to creep in from all sides of the lake. Within only a dew minutes, the entire lake was wearing a thick, mist coat. Little could be seen. Damien could only see about 5 feet ahead of his face.
Small waves began to ripple up against the shore as something moved in the lake, unseen by Damien. The waves continued to increase in size as whatever was making the waves made its way closer to the shore. Soon after this, the waves stopped and there was a distance sound of a boat or other large object washing up on shore.
A creek was heard behind Damien as someone or something approached him. A second later, a hand grabbed Damien by the shoulder. "Welcome to Twilight Moon Academy," the figure said. All that could be seen of this figure would be its head because its body was shrouded by the mist. It was a woman with long, gray hair. Even though this woman's face was wrinkled and resembled an older woman, her eyes beamed with a young radiance.

Damien watched as the fog rolled in, noting how it resembled a scene from some cheap horror movie. Still, when the women put her hand on Damien’s shoulder, he had a momentary heart attack. He turned around, scrambling on the slick wood for traction before he fell down again. This was probably for the better because he was trying to grab his dual reaper and off her head. He gathered his precious bacon back into its bag and zipped it back up. Damien stood up, scratching the back of his head nervously. “Umm… I’m Damien.” He said, slightly embarrassed that he almost had the crap scared out of him by an old lady. “Are you going to help me get to the school?” Damien asked, assuming that she worked there. He put his bacon into his pocket so hopefully she wouldn’t see that he had been munching on raw food.

"Oh course I will help you," the old-looking woman said. Her voice was surprisingly young-sounding. She stepped back off the dock and into the sand. The fog began to disappear and her attire was able to be seen. She was wearing knee-high leather boots that had a three inch platform. She wore a tight leather dress with a dark hood. A staff was held across her back. It was odd to see an older woman wearing the tight and somewhat revealing cloths that she was.
"You can follow to to the boat I brought. My name is Kenra by the way." She had a very bright smile across her face as she walked slowly but steadily down the beach.

“Ok… Kenra…” Damien said grabbing the rest of his belongings. He felt rather odd calling a woman that looked so much older than him by what he assumed to be her first name, but by the way she was dresses and the way she sounded, perhaps she wasn’t as old as he thought. Damien pulled out one last piece of bacon, popping it into his mouth and wiping his hands on the inside of his pocket. He followed her down to the beach, wondering which of the boats was hers.

They walked for about three minutes when the fog had almost completely receded and a small boat could be seen in the distance along the shore. Kenra quickened her pace when the boat came into view.
The boat was docked a little of shore. There was no anchor or rope keeping the boat in place. It seemed to sit in the water magically. Kenra pulled up her leather dress and water precariously into the water and jumped swiftly into the boat, which rocked for a moment.
Once she positioned herself comfortably on a wooden bench in the boat, she beckoned for Damien to follow her into the boat.

Damien looked doubtfully at the boat. It looked too small to cross the water to the academy. Damien just hoped that it wouldn’t capsize… And that he wouldn’t have to paddle. Damien lifted his bag above the water so the contents wouldn’t get wet and waded into the water. He dropped his bag and his weapon into the boat and hulled himself into the small vessel. It rocked precariously for a moment before Damien settled himself into a seat. Damien still had doubts about the boat, but his teacher seemed to trust it enough, so he probably should too. Damien looked across that water, now able to see the school. He hoped that he could just get there without needing to swim. Clearly he didn’t trust this boat at all.

Kenra waved he hands through the air and the boat began to magically move its way through the lake. The waves that gently lapped the small boat soon began to increase as Damien and Kenra's boat moved closer to the center of the lake.
By the time they were in the exact center of the lake, the waves were so large that the bottom of the boat began to fill with water.
"Oh no," Kenra cried as she realized what was going on, "we need to find a way to get this water out."

I knew it!! I KNEW IT! Damien thought in distress as he began to scoop out the incoming water with his hands. He scooped faster and faster, trying to remove as much water as possible, though not getting much done.
Damien took off his shoe and began to scoop out water with that, and actually was getting more done than just scooping the water. He dropped the boot in the boat, though Damien still had a boot in his hand, on that looked like his other boot. Damien scooped out a boot full of water and chucked it boot out of the boat, though when it hit the water is disappeared and another boot appeared in his hand. Which shouldn't be to surprising with his power it to make duplicates of things. Damien only had problems with pure elements and organic materials, so it was a good thing that his boots where synthetic leather. If it weren't he might have a problem.
The water level in the boat had gone down a little but Damien was not quite sure if it was enough to get the boat across the water to the school.

Kenra stared with a solemn look on her face. She seemed to not notice that the water was filling the boat much faster than before. As though a sudden shock filled her body, her eyes opened and she stared in awe at the pool of water in front of her.
"Oh dear, there is water in the boat," she said. Kenra seemed to completely forget that she had noticed the water once before.
She pulled her staff from behind her back and began to wave her spare hand around in a circle. Water began to rise from the boat and form a solid sphere of liquid. She guided the sphere of water out of the boat and into the lake around them. She repeated this process multiple times.
"What do your powers happen to be? You may be able to held."

Damien looked up at his teacher with an irritated look that said both 'I'm already (or so he perceived it) helping' and 'What do you think my power is??'. It seemed that Damien was a very irritable individual.
He put his boot back on and left the duplicate at the bottom of the boat. He sighed and picked up the duplicate boot and made eight more of the duplicate. "I make duplicates." He said flatly, making the new, eight duplicates disappear. He notably left out the fact that he couldn't really make pure elements nor organic materials. But why would he tell her THAT?

"Ah," Kenra said with a distinct light in her eyes, "maybe you can make us a duplicate boat so that we can get to the academy with no problem at all. Do you think you can do that?"

"Umm...." Damien said, scratching his head thoughtfully. He wasn't quite sure how he was going to get around to doing that, the boat being wood and all... He often tried making organic materials, but it never worked… He bought a rose for his girlfriend once and tried to duplicate IT, and ended up making a metal duplicate. Despite the fact she love the metal rose he said he made (which wasn’t a lie) it still wasn’t a real rose.
Damien had a spark of inspiration. If he could make a metal rose why not a metal boat? With that, a boat that almost looked exactly like the one Damien and Kenra where in slowly materialized beside them. This boat was shiny and made of metal, but other than that it looked exactly like the wooded one. Unfortunately, the metal boat was too heavy, it tipped, rolled over, and sank into the water from its own weight. Damien winced as it capsized, a large bubble broke the surface, presumably from the duplicate boat. One could also assume that Damien made the boat disappear, no doubt confusing any fish that might have been swimming by.
Though slightly deterred, Damien tried again at making the boat. This time, the boat looked exactly like the one Damien and Kenra where in, even the color was the same. Though, one might notice who this one was rocking much more… “Is this ok?” Damien asked pointing at the new boat. For those wondering how Damien made THIS boat, you might want to know that THIS one was made with plastic… Perhaps not the best material to be used for a boat.

"Ohh," Kenra said with a happy smile on her face, "that boat would do perfectly well." She quickly stood up and leaped across the water between the two boats and landed smoothly on the other boat. She attempted to regain her balance but to no success. She fell pathetically onto her back on the new boat.
"I'm okay," came a voice a little later, "you should be alright to jump across. I hope there are no more obstacles to our travel across the lake. (foreshadowing)"

Damien tossed his stuff over to the next boat before jumping over himself. He over jumped slightly and almost fell into the water, and had to catch himself before he did. He was honestly hoping to get to the school without getting wet, and so far, other then the other boat springing a leak, he was doing fairly well. "What are we going to do about the other boat?" Damien asked out loud, looking at the poor disregarded boat. If the boat where alive, it would probably be making sad puppy faces right now...
