In a forest somewhere far away from actual city,town,village life, there were many different shadows, different images. Deeper into the forest sitting on a rock with her feet in the water, sat a young girl. Her skin was fair, her hair was as dark as the night could go, her clothing was a short dress that was black. On her legs were black and white striped leggings and her gertish blue eyes looked up at the half of the moon in the sky. Her hair dangled down long past the middle of her back as she sat there, humming to her made up tune.

Luneth walked through the forest, his hands in his pockets as he whistled a tuneless tune. As he walked, he thought about how long it had been since he had talked to anyone. "If I didn't keep my distance from people they might get hurt or scared. Maybe both." A young man appeared next to him. "You worry to much, luneth. I'm retired, remember?" Luneth rolled his eyes. "You're still intimidating, tenuul." As he walked, luneth saw the girl sitting there. "There's your chance. Interact with people." Tenuul motioned for him to move forward as he disappeared into luneth's body. Luneth walked over and sat at the opposite end of the water, messing with the surface but not saying anything.

She looked up seeing movement and saw the man across the water. She stopped humming and stared at him, her face was very soft and young looking, about eighteen or nineteen she looked. Her eyes looked at him head to toe. She couldn't remember the last time she saw a boy, or person for that matter. She looked at him blankly before standing up and looked at the ground yet her body showed that she would attack if attacked. "H...hello?"

Sort of scared, luneth backed away a little bit, not saying anything. He could hear tenuul in the back of his mind. "Was that really the way to react? You're such a child."

She saw this and stepped back too rubbing her arms out of habit. She looked down and giggled only slightly. Her voice carrying a gentle shyness along with a bell like twang. She let her hair dangle over her shoulders and her bare feet soaking the rock she stood on.

"H-hello." Luneth said, waving and smiling a bit. Looking at her she looked about his age and not as scary as he remembered some other humans he'd met.

She nodded and turned her head towards the woods around them. She sighed. As she moved her head her hair came like waves and slowly drifted in the air as it they were floating, however shadows did seem to surround her and her hair seemed like shadows.

Luneth stood up and walked back to the water and continued to mess with the surface. "Want to see something cool?" He asked sheepishly.

This seemed to catch her attention. Mainly because she suddenly smiled and beamed with happiness. She felt her eyes drift to his hands as he messed with the water." Uh...sure I guess"

Luneth concentrated and felt himself grow gills and fins, eventually turning into an actual fish that fell into the water with a thud. Luneth swam over to the other side and brought his head up.

Her mouth dropped and she gasped softly. She clapped her hands to herself and closed her eyes and seemed to concentrate for a moment. Before the dark shadows around her became a formation, it looked like an animal was shaping, soon a beautiful black horse with red eyes appeared from the shadows and she petted it with her hands calmly."I love the animals...I wish I could make them as beautiful in real life...like you can make yourself into..."

Still a fish, luneth looked up in amazement. "Thats a beautiful horse. A beautiful horse for a beautiful girl." Luneth covered his mouth with a fin and hid his head underwater as he became a different creature. Luneth felt his upper half come back but his lower half remained a fin.

She blushed a crimson color and looked down and the horse galloped away. She blushed softly and still. She looked at him in amazement."did you just become what I thought you became?... And.....uh...you're not so bad yourself ..."

Luneth brought his head up, his silver hair released from its ponytail, blushing a unique shade of red. "A merman. I'm luneth by The way. luneth senright."

She blushed a bit more and knelt down I front of him and smiled."I'm Weep.....uh......I've never really known my surname........ Infact I don't even know who my parents were to begin with....." She said looking at him a small smile."most call me Weep Outcast...."

Luneth put his arms on the land. "I haven't seen my parents in a couple of years. They decided it was about time I set out on my own." Tenuul's voice could he heard in the forest. "You're not alone. You've got me. Although I'm not exactly the best comapny sometimes."

She blinked before tilting her head at the voice. She shrugged and smiled."I've been alone...except the shadows keep me company a little I guess."

"Tenuul, if you're going to talk to us, could you come out here at least? You're being a bit creepy." Tenuul appeared on land next to the water. "Says the guy who transformed into a shirtless merman. Where do you clothes go anyway?" Luneth shrugged. "They appear when I change back. Anyway, weep, this is tenuul. He's a demon."

She blinked and then smiled nodding to him and clapped her hands"oh! Oh! I am too! Well...kinda..I'm more of a Shadow...." She smiled and looked down blushing when he mentioned the shirtless part.

Tenuul put his hand on luneths head. "Yep, I've been looking after this boy since he was fifteen. I tell ya its been a long couple of years when you've possessed a human and the two of you have a... Mutual understanding is the word, I guess."
