The Mist is Calling..

[Musei Kasumi]

Musei slowly drifted away into a deep sleep after he was knocked out. It was when he was a kid, Musei was running around the town when he was attacked by a ninja from another village. It was the scariest thing that ever happened to him, the feeling of fear. Musei ran as fast as he could but no matter what he did, that ninja stopped him. He was about to die when his dad showed up and killed him. Musei smiled and hugged his dad. Then his dad bent down and told him to wake up, your journey is not over yet. Musei opened his eyes and began to cough up water. "What...happened?...." He asked as if he didn't remember.

Argentum smiled a bit when Musei regained consciousness and gently held him still by placing her hands against his chest. They glow slightly, and any water left within the ninja's lungs would be absorbed through his skin and into her own body, leaving behind a warm, tingling sensation; magic was a lovely thing. "You lost consciousness; hit your head, I think. I just swam with you the rest of the way to the Academy." Her eyes lit up. "Too bad you weren't awake for it, though, I think you would have liked the change of perspective." Laughing her musical laugh, Argentum noticed where Musei had hit his head and a slight look of concern crossed her expression. "Are you alright?" Argentum, very characteristic of mermaid's disregard for personal boundaries, very gently touched Musei's injury. "Does it hurt too much?"

Musei rubbed the back on his head as he could start to breath better. "It is ok......thanks for helping me..." Musei said. The wound was bad but he did not want to bother her. He just look around and the mist was clearing up but not fast. "So we are at the academy now?" He asked.

Argentum brought her hand back and clasped it together with the other, very gently placing them on her 'lap'. She nodded slightly, smiling warmly. "No reason for thanking me. And yes, we're at Twilight Moon Academy." Her expressive, metallic green eyes looked at the large structure that was only a short distance away, now visible in the lifting mist. "You'll be safe there." stated the mermaid, only somewhat to herself. Subconsciously, Argentum rubbed her arm where the silvery blue flesh was already beginning to dry from being exposed to the air for so long. She brought her gaze back to Musei's. "I can't stay with you much longer." Her smile became sorrowful, though she tried to keep her expression bright. "If you think you're well enough, you can go to the Academy; I can escort you no further, Musei."

Musei hand a hand signs and healed the back of his head. "One last thing, when do I start classes?" He asked. The mist began to lift and he could see the academy. It was huge and nice too. "I guess there is going to be a lot of people here... Hope I can find a quiet place where I can be alone..." He thought. Musei looked back and waited for an answer him his second teacher.

[[red].Raven]

Argentum's smile lessened slightly as she thought over the question. "Well... as far as I know, classes begin whenever each particular teacher decides to start his or her own particular class." The mermaid's gaze drifted up to the Academy and once again there was evident sorrow in her eyes; it wasn't often one such as herself had much company, other than the same merpeople she's known all her life. Her metallic gaze came back to Musei. "I'm sorry I can no longer guide you, Musei, but I can feel this air parching my body; I must return to the water." Laughing musically, Argentum reached over and kissed the ninja very lightly on the cheek; a familiar gesture of both greeting and farewell among merpeople. The silvery-blue-skinned mermaid returned to the lapping lake water and submerged quickly, disappearing into its dark, murky depths. Far out into the lake, a silvery figure could be seen leaping in a graceful arch from the water before re-submerging with a smooth splash; and then all was still once again.
