Prologue
In a dimly lit cavern off the coast of Japan a turtle walked in carrying a large yellow orb. Her sisters followed and tried to look over the turtle's shoulder, so that they could see the object she was holding. one of them pushed on the turtle's shoulder making her drop the glass sphere. The goo inside of it splashed all over them.
Their eyes widened in horror as they shrunk and changed. Their cheeks became rounder and their eyes grew bigger. Their limbs became stubby and their shells became tight. They looked at one another in shock and fear as they realized what had happened. They were little kids again.
Their leader, the one who carried in the orb, ran off towards one of the connected caves. She knew she would find their master there. As she approached the bed that her master slept on a cold feeling swept through her. Schedule attempted to shake her master awake, but it didn't work. Only then did she realize that the skin under her fingers was icy.
She cried out, and her sisters came running in. She told them about their master, and they all cried together. Then the leader lifts her head up and walks out. Her sisters were confused by this action, but they followed anyway.
Soon they were all walking through the cold night air, tripping over their too-large shirts. Tlea leader didn't know what she was doing, but she knew her objective: keep these girls safe.
