The life at sea was incredibly boring from a rats point of view the crew rush to and from and never really noticed they had been at sea two weeks now with nothing of interest happenstance at all, Cecil was in many way upset by this he had been craving adventure the Thrills of the sea he had heard stores about. Little did he know that his wish would soon be answered. The next day the entire sea seemed to be enveloped in a green foul smelling mist. the captain locked him self in his cabin as the crew tried to run for safety out of the mists came the ghoses of people lost at sea. onley latter in life would Cecil understand the power of these souls, and how they could be harnessed to give life to the life less, but for his first encounter he was awe struck. He watched them all as they took out there rag eon whatever living thin they could it was a blood bath, the crew who could not make it below deck we’re ripped from limb to limb. After it had done its damage it passed. As the captian came out of his quarter the alarm was raised and the crew armed them selves for the pirates. At this point Cecil decided it would be a goo time to revel his presence changed to human form and grabbed his gear
“ who the hell are you” the captian yelled as soon as he seen Cecil
“i am Cecil Gail and I am here to help' said Cecil as he took down to men with his bolts
in a instant the sound of cannon fire rang out
“i think you pissed them off boy” The caption yelled
for a good 10 minuets the vessels exchanged fire till the pirate ship was close enoph to bored Cecil put his bow on his back and drew his daggrs, this was the first excitement in awhile and he was looking forward to the fight . It is at this poin he got a crazy idea, what if he got on the enemy ship and took its charts and log? He could easley find the pirates hideout then. The air echoed with the cling of steel while the others were fighting Cecil was taking lives, with each swish of his blades he was catching men in there armorers weakest point with out realizing it he shifted to Nazumi for also known as man rat form, using his tail he tripped someone up and jabbed them in the throat blood sprayed him in the face. Covering his whiskers, it was at this time he boded the other ship snuck in to the caption quarters and grabbed everything that looked important. Ran back to my ship stowed everything and went to rat form. The next few days the captain searched for him with out any luck
when the tower was see able Cecil Shifted back to human got dressed grabed his stowed stuff and walked to the caption who was surprised to see him. shook his hand jumped off and swam to shore.
Like a dream Cecil stood on the Cerulean island the place ware all of his dream would come true.

“how do you know what you saw is true” cecal asked , there was no response only a pile of coins were the man had been” cecil left them were they were and headed to the academy gate.
The gate keeper stood there in his full plate mail if Cecil didn’t know any better he would think the man was a statue.
Beside the gate keeper there stood a little shack and there in was a Magus of some sort twirling his glasses by invisible means. As Cecil tried to wall in the gates the guard stopped him.
“do you know what course you are taking if not go to the guy over there and ask for a brochure”
