`` So this is it, eh?'' 
 
 Cathyn stood at the front of the boat. The northern winds passing through her hair, just like it did all those years ago. Everything about the world around was bellowing nostalgia, the smell of the ocean, the cool air, the movement of the boat on the waters surface. And yet the memories that came along with it were blurry and messy with motion and noise. A problem she has n't been able to rectify through out growing up. 
 
 `` I asked you a question, sweetheart.'' 
 
 Suddenly she was back. Back to this grim fairy tale that she named life. The warm thoughts her mind conjured were now replaced with a rude man. 
 
 `` Well?'' The man asked as Cathyn turned around. 
 
 Cathyn took a deep breath and let all the stress vent out through a single breath `` This is the place.'' 
 
 The rude man, Benny, sat there on the right of the left of the boat in his deep black suit and red tie, drinking from a bottle of some kind of whisky. Cathyn could n't tell, nor cared really. He was n't exactly good looking, but not ugly. His face was a contrast onto itself, as he had think black eyebrows on a overly tanned face. 
 
 `` Be careful with that, you do n't want to be passed out before we even get there.'' The woman on the right said. She was Lyca. She was different form Benny in the sense that while he was upfront with his rudeness, she kept her true side hidden at all times. She always had an agenda and would betray the trust of a 15 year old girl just to get what she wanted. She wore a wool coat covering a short black dress. Cathyn envied the sheer beauty of her, her calm face, her warm smile and her deep black hair that curled around her pale face. 
 
 `` Cathyn, honey, you'll catch cold if you stand there like that, come sit next to me.'' Lyca ordered. 
 
 Cathyn stumbled slightly. `` Um, is it okay if I stay here and look at Boreal as we approach?'' 
 
 Lyca's smile dropped a little as she bent forward slightly, putting her elbows on her legs. `` As long as we do n't have another incident again, that's perfectly fine.'' 
 
 `` Incident?'' A rapid voice came from the back of the boat. Suddenly Lyca turned her furious face towards the man in shadows. 
 
 `` None of your concern.'' Lyca said coldly. 
 
 Up until that point Cathyn thought he was just one of Lyca's henchmen. Now that he drew the attention towards himself, she could see the difference. For one he was n't constantly trying to intimidate anything that moved. He did n't need to try. He was wearing an odd mask, the likes of which Cathyn had never seen before. It was a black blank slat with three green eyes in the middle forming a triangle pattern. Only a small bit of skin was sowing throughout his leather bound outfit. It almost had a sickly green tint to it. 
 
 The sound of a pumped shotgun shattered the silence, as Benny stood with said shotgun in hand. 
 
 `` We're here'' Benny said as the man in the odd mask began to turn down the power of the motor of the boat. Slowly the boat went into shallow water and eventually the shore. Benny was the first to step off the boat into the damp sand. 
 
 Cathyn stood at the edge of the boat trying to figure out a way of getting down without sinking into the sand. Suddenly Benny grabbed her hand and helped her down. `` M'lady.'' He said as he helped her down. A few seconds later he did the same with Lyca. The man with the odd mask landed behind them. 
 
 `` What's the plan now, Lyca?'' Benny asked. 
 
 Lyca turned towards Cathyn and bent down slightly to be on the same eye level as her. `` Sweety here is going to find us that castle, ai n't ya?''
