The next day in the afternoon, Azur and his family were taking a hike across the Denmark countryside. Azur is carrying a wooden basket on his back which was filled with animal body parts that Fiona prepared for him in case he got hungry during the trip. They were heading for a beach up north where Azur was going to be taken to the academy. It was a half an hour walk from their cave. They had crossed the hills and the moors until they finally reached their destination. Before they let Azur go on his own, they decided to give him a little pep talk.

"Azur, remember to not trust a bunch of people. Always write to us to let us know how you're doing." Fiona reminded Azur.

"Okay, modor." He said back.

"I don't think he'll even know how to write to you." whispered Grendel's mother.

"He'll figure it out."

"I know this is hard for me to let you go, but take care of yourself out there. Stay safe and lay low." Grendel's mother said to him next.

"Yes, Granny." Azur said.

"I love you, Azur. You have a fun year." Grendel said.

"I will, dad. Don't worry." With that, Azur walked down to the beachside. His family sat down to wait for Azur to picked up so they can wave goodbye. Azur watched as the wind blew and the waves roared on the waters. Not a second left until sundown.

He sensed someone next to him. He looked to his left and saw a humanoid, blue-skinned, female creature with a cat-like face and a long tail. She had long black hair, a long ponytail and pointy ears. She was wearing tribal wardrobe, consisted of a wooden chest plate around her breasts and loin cloths. She was crouched on the sandy ground licking her hand then wiping it on her hair. She then noticed him looking at her. They both stared at each other until she broke the silence.

"Peu nga?" She spoke in a foreign language that Azur couldn't understand. He looked at her in confusion then turned is attention back towards the ocean and the sun as it was close to setting.

"Pesu mì ewyas peyral nga? Nga ke pxel ne ayswirä ne'ìm ne kifkey." She asked again, trying to make conversation. Azur still could not understand her.

"I don't understand what you're...telling me."

She frowned and realized, "You are English?" Azur understood her and nodded.

"Oh. I am sorry. I am Se've te Tskaha Mo'at'ite of the Omaticaya Clan on Pandora."

"The what?" Azur asked. He and his family never had any connection with anything or anyone outside their home. Everything there is to learn is quite foreign to Azur.

"The moon Pandora? I am a Na'vi. The main species of my world." She explained.

"There's other worlds besides this one? I never knew that." He deducted.

"You didn't? How come?" Se've asked. She didn't understand why he doesn't know very much.

"Me and my family don't get out very much. My dad only goes out to hunt." He said. He pointed to his family sitting on the hill behind them.

"That's them over there."

She looked towards them as they waved to them.

"They seem...nice." She struggled to find a better word. She tried not to be rude. Just after the sun had finally set, nightfall came and it became dark. A thick misty fog engulfs the entire ocean around the beach area. Azur looked on stunned at what was about to happen. The sound of a bell is heard and Azur and Se've look to see a bright green glow in the distance. A large, ghostly, green pirate ship sailed towards ashore. On that back of the ship said Queen Anne's Revenge. It floated just inches above the water and finally came to a stop just beside the two. A board came down from the side in front of them. A ghost appeared before them in a black pirate's wardrobe with a captain's hat and flintlocks strapped to his chest. He was decapitated, so he held his head in his arm. He had a scraggly black beard. He was the ghost of Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard.

"Oi! New students, Eh?" He exclaimed in sheer surprise.

"Climb aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. We haven't got time to lose." He said and walked (or rather floated) over to the helm. Se've walked up first.

"This world is full of surprises." Azur nodded in agreement and walked on board as well. On the ship, there was an entire crew of ghost pirates. Some were swashbuckling, some were drinking ale, even though it went through them and some were singing drunken songs.

"SILENCE!" Blackbeard shouted to his crew who instantly quiet down to the sound of his yell.

"We have us some new arrivals at Peregrine Academy. You all treat them properly now, or else we are all out of a job!" The crew nodded and returned to their hassle.

"Peregrine Academy?" Azur asked as he looked towards Se've, who also shrugged in confusion.

"Come this way." Blackbeard lead to their quarters. "Hope you both feel right at home." Azur entered his cabin, which seemed small compared to his enormous size. He walked over to the hammock bed and lied down in it, only for it to it collapse to the floor from his weight.

Azur sighed. 'I might as well make the best of it.' He thought as he pulled the cloth from the damaged hammock over his body and drifted off to sleep.


Three and a half hours later, Azur was rudely awakened by the noise of drunken singing. He clutched his ears in pain from the loud noise. He left his cabin to find the source. He came upon a tavern built in the ship where there was a lot of horrid singing, fighting and men flirting with women. Azur saw Se've by the bar who looked distressed. He walked over to her. Se've saw him and said "I really don't like this place at all. Maybe we don't fit in his world at all." She looked sad and homesick. She missed her home world so much. One of the pirates tried to flirt with her and she had to poke his eye out.

"This is just a ride to the main event, Se've. We just need to suck it up. I know. I'm a little nervous myself."

Se've said "But aren't you afraid that something bad might happen to you?" She sounded worried for her new schoolmate.

"I just have to make the most of my life." Azur spoke. Se've looked down and gave him a hug, taking him by surprise. Se've soon realized what she was doing and pulled back.

"I'm so sorry. Force of habit." Her apologizing was cut off by Azur hugging her back lifting her off the floor in the process.

"It's quite alright, Se've. We're both friends. Is it okay if I called you that?" She answered "I guess so. Can you put me down now?"

"Yes." Azur put her back down on the floor.


Three days later, it has been a struggle for the two new monsters for the pirate crew were a bit rambunctious to deal with. Se've and Azur sat down on the floor boards on night when "Land ho!" The pirate from the crow's nest shouted. The crew and the two looked over to the other side of the ship and saw the said land far ahead of them. On top of a hillside over the raging ocean sat a large castle-like building. It donned on the two that it was the school they were attending. Se've was standing on Azur's back to look over his shoulder for a better view. She seemed unsure about the school based on it's appearance.

"Welcome home, you two. I know you're going to enjoy it here." Blackbeard then shouted to the helmsman. "Take her home, Mr. Webber!" The helmsman complied and turned the ship towards it's destination.
