You've been fascinated with these strange and.. magical
creatures from a place called Nightfall. You've learned everything
about it from books, the internet, everything. So, when someone
offers a boat trip that can actually get across the choppy body of
water, you can't decline. You nearly freak out when your feet
crunch the sand of the sandy shore. You walk up and onto the
cobbled path, but can't help but notice something is.. wrong.
Nobody is out like you've read about, and only the occasional child
runs past you. What's going on, and can you unravel the mystery? A
bit of paper flies past and lands at your feet. It doesn't say
much.
Winnie let out a long, exasperated sigh. She wasn't sure why she'd
gone without her cousin, who had unfortunately broken her ankle
shortly before the boat ride was scheduled for. Maybe it was
curiosity about the supposedly "paranormal" residents, maybe it was
her own ignorance. Either way, now Winnie was stuck on an island,
being disappointed by the ghost town of a village. The feeling of
eyes on her only seemed to make her mood worse. With a scowl,
Winnie trudged through the empty town, trying to spy something
worth her time.
Suddenly, a normal-looking fox ran out of a forest, a flower crown
on its head. Strangely enough, the tip of its tail was green, not
white. It stopped, staring at you.
Michon looked up, jumping. "O-oh! We're here.." He shakily got out
of the boat. "I c-can't believe I'm d-doing this.." Michon
muttered. Well, he certainly knew why. It was because he wanted to
prove that he wasn't afraid of evreything, and, well, to satisfy
his own curiousty. He nearly went to the moon with fear when he saw
the fox, then looked down to scribble something with a trembiling
pencil into his notebook.
Aki got off the boat with a sigh. Her eyes flickered around the
area. Something... felt wrong. She shrugged it off. Maybe she was
just over-reacting. She looked around the place before letting out
a disappointed sigh. Was this really the place she heard so much
about? Maybe, she'd made a mistake coming here? Suddenly, she felt
as if someone was watching her and she shivered. She started
regretting this whole trip. If only she could return to her
comfortable bed and read some books. Aki sighed again. Well,
better make this trip worth it, she thought, even if the
whole village seems like a ghost town. She just hoped she
wouldn't be meeting any ghosts.
"Life is short, my darling. So, live it to the fullest
while you can, lest you end up with regrets."
The fox opened its mouth a bit, too startled to do anything but
stare. The green, velvet bow tied around her neck shuffed as she
did. Then, the unexpected happened.
Aki immediately blinked. She stared at the fox for a few minutes.
She slowly raised her hand before she pinched her cheek. "Ouch!"
She rubbed her reddening cheek, before muttering to herself.
"Maybe, Mom was right. Reading too many books has made me go
crazy."
"Life is short, my darling. So, live it to the fullest
while you can, lest you end up with regrets."
She walked up, turning human when she was standing in front of
them. She was a small girl who couldn't be any older then 10 or 11.
She had bright lavender eyes and brown hair tied into a plait. She
was wearing a green and white dress tied with a velvet green bow at
the waist and sparkling green shoes.
Michon tilted his head. What kind of people would be on a desolate
island? What kind of troubles would they have? Michon was
automatically very, very curious. Still, though, he was also wary.
"W-wwhat kind of a pickle?"
She turned, walking down the cobbled path and into a building not
too far down. It had tables and chairs and behind the counter was a
woman who seemed to be in her mid 20's. She had curling, blue
horns, like a ram's, short, sapphire blue hair and cunning, white
eyes. She had freckles dotted on her face and was wearing a uniform
that also seemed quite casual. She turned as Amaya walked in,
smiling.
"Hey, young princess. Anything I can do for ya?"
She had a demon tail that flicked in the air, and it was tipped
with a blue spade shape.
Aki blinked before she tilted her head, her eyes sparkling in
excitement. She should be feeling something like shock, but instead
she was excited. Maybe she's read too many stories about demons,
but she thought the woman looked really cool.
"Life is short, my darling. So, live it to the fullest
while you can, lest you end up with regrets."
