While others found it difficult to entertain themselves Rei had come prepared. A rather worn looking novel sat

 on the corner of her bed. A title engraved across the cover that was almost impossible to read at a distance 

but if you took a moment and stared intently at it, maybe even ran your fingers across the engraving, you would 

discover that it was titled The Alchemist.  A beloved book that she must have read a thousand time. A story 

about a young Shepard who set out on a journey for treasure but in the end finds his personal legend, His 

destiny. She didn't know why she loved the book so much, maybe it was because she wanted to be the boy in the 

story. Maybe it was because she wanted to have adventures or perhaps it was because deep down, she always knew 

that she was meant for something more. The String of destiny tugging her across her misfortunes, leading a path 

to this very moment. She had arrived, she could feel it in her being and while others saw a tiny room. she saw 

fate. Filled with pride and excitement, it would burst forth from her tiny being if she let it and of course she 

would not.  All this emotion underneath her cold collected shell. Her face a blank slate of any expression. You 

would never know what she was really feeling. You almost might wonder if she was able to feel at all. Violin was 

one of her many emotional outlets and it just so happened that she brought her violin with her and it was in 

this very room. An Item that she Insisted was brought with her and not stowed away like simple luggage.  Though 

it took a little Persuasions, Rei had gotten her way. The case was tucked neatly against a pillow. She reached 

for it and opened it, revealing a beautiful ebony violin lying dormant inside. She grabbed it gently and 

gracefully tucked it under her chin. She turned it thoughtfully before letting her bow caress the strings in a 

harmonious strum before freeing the musical notes into a vigorous tune with an upbeat melody. The sound filled 

the room and carried throughout the halls filling the silent void for hours until her arms and neck ached and 

fingers became numb.  She felt calmer now, relaxed enough that she decided to slip on her nightgown and into 

bed.  Setting the lights in her room to a dim hue because she couldn’t bear being in complete darkness.  

She drifted off into a deep slumber and had only awoken due to the sudden jolt of the boat. She slipped out of 

bed and slipped on her silk robe while staring out the window. Contemplating the shadows and dim lights that 

flickered against the fauna of the Island. The Halls soon came to life, the students crowding the halls and she 

could hear the slight roar of their excited chatter outside her door.  She would get dress and collect her 

things and sit on the edge of the bed and wait..and wait … until there was no more sound. Then she would open 

the door and make her way down the hall, on hand cradling the book to her chest and the other hung down at her 

side, carrying the violin case. The ships halls were now peaceful and she maneuvered quickly thought them 

without obstacle until she came to the pier and she hesitated for a moment before stepping onto it. Holding her 

chin up she walked briskly fully over it and onto the soft earth. She could see the crowds of students off in 

the distance and she was amazed at the quantity.  She lingers behind in an attempt to become unnoticed and so 

far it seemed to work quite well. Suddenly an older man came from the shadows and spoke out to the Edgar youths 

in front of him.[i]  Demons[/i]… She never fought an actual demon only personal ones and was surely up to the 

challenge. The fact was, the idea of fighting demons wasn’t what really surprised her but the small information 

she just learned about her father. He hunted demons. He walked this very ground. Her years of resentment and 

rebellious still lead her here.   [i] Like father Like daughter[/i]    The thought repulsed her and a small jolt 

of adrenaline-fueled her rage within. She ..took a  deep breath and slowly exhaled    [i]Don’t get all worked 

up, not over him. [/i] Now that most of the students were making their way through the concealed paths of the 

forest. Rei was more intrigued by the pond.  She broke from the path and made her way towards the Kappa pools. 

The steam rising into the air and causing an unearthly effect.  Cautiously she started towards the murky water 

with shadows of squirming creatures within.  She wasn’t going to be deceived by the warm water, the fact that it 

was even a pool was already off-putting, she would drown with or without the kappa’s help. Quietly she set her 

things down. Her free hand reached into one of the pockets of her jacket revealing a sandwich bag full of 

speared cucumbers. Apparently, this wasn’t just Rei favorite snack but also Kappa’s as well. She read somewhere 

that they went berserk over cucumbers and could possibly be a tool to befriend them. Now seemed a better time as 

any since the following day they would probably be all slaughtered. She opened the bag, grabbed a few pieces 

before tossing them near the edge of the pond. She herself was at a reasonable distance so the fear of being 

pulled in was minimal. She crouched down and waited ::::
