Silently she walked up the steps of a deserted boat rental shack. She looked around wondering where she was to go now, but saw nothing but emptiness and mist. The girls name? Alyx Erette, born and raised in Okinawa Japan. She has come to this place after she received a misterious mail message. She looked around once more but still to no avail, she was seemingly alone.
She walked into the shack only to be greated complete and utter silence. She walked to the counter to see if there were anything that would help her. Seeing none she walked towards the back of the shop her ears listening for anything suspicious. Finding nothing around the small shop she walked back outside. She listened again but heard nothing...no birds shrilling, no bugs buzzing, no people talking. Only the crashing of random waves around all the ships she saw. She looked down at the paper in her hand to confirm this was her meeting spot.
As she read the words a cool breeze shuffled her hair and whisked the paper out of her hand. As she ran to catch it all she could hear was the 'thud' of her footfalls. She caught the paper with a thought ~Why am I here? What if this person turns out to be an enemy?~ she asked herself with another look around the yard.

A few yards down the shore, a man was fishing. He had his lure in the water and was diligently concentrating on that single location, hoping that a bite might come his way. Unfortunately, for several minutes, he looked at the same spot, but nothing happened. After about an hour, he gave up his hope and began to make his way down the shore. Then, he saw a girl enter an abandoned shack. The shack in question had not been occupied for several years and he wondered why this girl would be here.
"Excuse me," he said, "young lady. There is no one there. Why are you here anyway?"

She jumped a bit then turned to face the newcomer "I see that no one is here....and I'm here because of this" she said handing him the now torn note. "Heh it got blown away and kinda got ripped as I caught it.." she said trying to see the man's teeth. She smiled kindly and waited to see what his response to the note would be.

"A note?" The man said with a question of his face. He looked at the note and a questionable look came across his face. "This not says that there is an academy around here. That is a lie. I am the only one around this lake for miles. You must be mistaken coming here."
He handed the note back to Alyx just as there was a rustle in the woods next to the pair.
A man appeared from the forest. He was garbed in loose-fitting, transparent drapes. He walked so smoothly that it seemed that he was gliding over the beach. The old fisherman glanced at the figure, but was not able to pull his eyes away. He was hypnotized.
The man approaching from the forest lifted his hand in the air as he neared the fisherman. He raised his fore and middle finger and pressed them on the fisherman's forehead. A shock filled the air.
The fisherman suddenly had a dazed look on his face and walked away as though he was under control of another.
The garbed man neared Alyx.
"Never mind him. He is common folk. My name is Lysander and I am a master teacher at Twilight Moon Academy."

Alyx gulped "What the hell did ya do to the guy?!" she shouted looking at the poor old man. She then looked at the note in her hand and read the academys' name, "So I'm like supposed to go with you?" she asked the strange looking man. As she waited for his answer she shifted from one foot to the other.

"What I did to that man was erase his memory of what just happened. He is common-folk, as I said. He has no mystical powers as most of us at the academy do. He cannot know about the academy and thus, I had to take care of his memory. I posses the power to enter your mind and do whatever I want with it."
He slowly moved his way to the lake and took a deep breath of air. "I can sense all the beings in the lake. They are becoming restless. There is a storm coming. We should get to the academy quickly."
He began to run along the shore, keeping his eyes on the lake.

"Wait for me!" she said putting on her ebony cloak and chased after him. "Memory...I have a couple memories I wish I didn't have.." she whispered under breath. She looked at the lake and thought she saw a flash of scales "A-are there mermaids in there or something?" she asked

"Mermaids?" The man asked, "of course there are mermaids....what else would we eat?" He paused. "Just kidding. There are mermaids in the lake, but they are one of the various majestic species that live under the waters of the lake. Now what were you saying about your memories?"

"Huh? Oh nothing just talking to myself" she said with a slight blush. "What other things live in this lake?" she asked looking at the water again, hoping to change the subject at hand. She just couldn't talk about her past to any stranger...what if he was part of THAT clan? She could be in real trouble then.

"You will soon see," the man said. He raised his fore and middle fingers on his right hand to his forehead. He held it there for several seconds. After some time, he took his fingers from his forehead and held them outward over the lake. Small air bubbles began to to rise from the lake. It seemed that the creatures from under the water were beginning to stir.
From the bottom of the lake, mermaids and various other creatures rose to the surface. From along the shore, creatures called naga were slithering with their half-fish, half-snake bodies. Their tails slithered along the sand, leaving imprints in the sand.
A large, whale like creature with a large neck rose from the water's surface. The creature, called a largantha, raised his head high in the air and bellowed a deafening roar. Lysander smiled, seeming to know what the creature was saying.
"So..." Lysander said, "are you ready to cross the lake?"

"O-On that thing?!" she asked, looking at him suspiciously. What did he take her for? A fool? "Why should I trust you?" she asked looking around, waiting for an ambush. She scanned his clothing once again for THAT symbol.

"This thing," Lysander said, "is a gentle creature from deep in the lake. They are kind and will never hurt anyone. And...you should trust me because I am currently the only one you know at the academy. I could always abandon you..."
The largantha lowered its long neck and placed it on the shore next to Lysander. Lysander quickly ran up the back of the creature's neck and stood on its back. "Are you coming?" he said, motioning for Alyx to come with him.
