:Meru Enters:

Meru slipped off her sandals as she fiddled her toes into the soft white sand as she made her way to a swing.
She plopped herself down as she took out some bread from the small bag over her shoulder and broke small pieces off, tossing it into the water.

"Come out, Come out," she pleaded.
A few bubbles floated to the surface as a tail flipped and splashed as the bread disappeared.

"You're here..." Meru smiled as she tossed more bread and a huge 'fish' covered in seaweed popped up.

"Yes Ms. Hayama, what is it you have returned for?" A young mermaid swept away the
curtain of seaweed.

"My time manipulation...it's getting me stuck in my visions. Can you do an analysis?"
"Of course I can, come."

Meru cautiously walked to the lake as the young mermaid gazed up at her.


"Do not fret Miss Hayama...it's the first step..."
"To what?" Meru asked as the mermaid began to descend.
"To mastering your time travel..." and with that she disappeared.

"Sigh...only one question..."
The sun began to creep over the gray clouds.
"Oh that's why...I need rest for school tomorrow.
It won't be a good first impression for people to meet the sleepy cranky Meru."

:Meru Exits and slows down time as she goes home and sleeps, making it so she gets 11 hours:

Damien slipped though the shadows of the trees. He was a transfer student (although it was still very early in the year) and getting accustomed to this new freedom was exhilarating yet tiring. He was alone in the woods for now so he decided to do do something he wasn't allowed to do often. Only in the training room when the teacher came to teach.
He grew restless as he walked further through the woods. He had no school today since he just got settled and would be forced to attend tomorrow. His gravity and water powers wavered and the only way for him to not be abused by them was if he cleared out his mind.
So on he went deeper in the woods until he found a nice shady spot and took out his beloved instrument. The violin was a deep golden brown, that belonged to his mother before she was murdered.
He brought it to his shoulders as he started playing a calming melody that started relaxing his muscles. His tense shoulders dropped and his mind cleared out. He kept playing until an hour or so passed. Mid-morning had come and go and he relieved the bow of its grip and put the instrument back in its case.

It was late now...
The cicadas played their lovely tunes as the night became scornful and
mysterious. A dead silence was present in this area as someone new appeared from
a thick mist.

Mm...I can smell her...
That sweet smell...
That...innocence...



It was a tall, broad shouldered figure, whose hair blew with the soft gusts
of wind that felt like flirtatious kisses to him. Even nature craved this incubus.

His soft lips slowly opened as his velvet voice rang through the silence.
"But alas...I cannot take her just yet...I have to play around a little first.
To think...at my age and still playing games...what is the world coming to...? Oh yeah, that's
right! It's coming to an end."

A large smile grew on the males face as he rose a finger effortlessly and a pillar of
water shot up from the lake and collided with the ground beside him.
Another figure of exact likeness in scent and all appeared.

"Water Clones...how childish of me,"
He stretched and let out a wolf-like howl.
"Hope you're ready for me little sis...I am defiantly ready for you,"
he licked his lips as he disappeared in a swift movement,
the water clone following his lead but heading to a different location.

:Shiyoshi Enters:



He sits on the port of the lake as he watches silver fish shine under the moonlight
as they dance beneath the water.

:Cle'on appears in a mist:
"Hello Master," he bows.

"Cle'on..." Shiyoshi stands instantly and turns to him with bright eyes as they narrow
in suspicion.
"Where is she...?"

"Oh the girl...?"
Yoshi glares. "No you freaking idiot...my parrot."
"I thought you wanted the girl yo. You never said anything about a parrot."


It was saddening because Cle'on was really this slow...
Thus why Nolce' did all the talking.
Speaking of which...

"Where is Nolce'?"
"He's looking for the Girl,"
"...how do you lose a 17 year old girl...?"
"Eh, I dunno."
"It was a rhetorical question Cle'on..."

Shiyoshi's eyes slanted to a cat-like eye.
"...you do realize how important she is..."
"To you? Yes Sir."
"No stupid...to the head masters plan..."

"Ohh~ right! You mean the plan to--"
"Cle'on...do not say the plan here in such a place..."
We're not alone. he used telepathy.

"So if I am to check...Meru will be at the Depths like we discussed? Or somewhere near that?"

"Probably..."
"...then lets go find her."

:Shiyoshi and Cle'on disappear:

...

"The depths..."

A small splash is heard as something shiny can be seen moving below the water
as Raizon searches.

All is now quiet, but below, someone stares up at him.

Damien looks around as he spots Raizon parting the lake.
"Sup dude, what happened here?" He asks with a light curious tone.

"I am sorry..." the mermaid popped up with her silver hair shining on
her shoulders as she stared deeply into Raizen's eyes.

"Scary people have visited my lake lately..." her eyes narrowed.
"I did not know if you meant harm upon me..."
