The man slowly approaching the area made Sirene's breathing accelerate, her heart pounding uncontrollably. Sirene closed her eyes, intricate thoughts began to pour out of her mind.

'Am I going to die?' 'Who is this man?' 'I wish mama was here...' 'Why did Lady Amalthea turn me into a human? What cruel fate has she bestowed upon me?'

After a few seconds, the thoughts became a void. Sirene detected nothing was happening. She slowly re-opened her eyes when noticing the man's face one feet away from hers. Her eyes dilated. "Hi." he said with a smirk on his face. Wails of shrieks escaped from Sirene's mouth. The man startled hovered over Sirene's mouth with his hand, "Quiet, you!" Sirene concluded her cry for help with a rigorous kick on his crotch. The man responded by rolling over and moaning with pain, "What the hell was that for?!" clenching his teeth.

"Where am I?! Who are you?!" said Sirene, "Tell me!"

"The question should have been reversed and you're in the land of Valescon." the man stood up, the pain subsided but his ego was burnt to a crisp. "My name's Nikola, at your service." he bent foward, implying his humor behind the statement. Sirene raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing...?" "Um... nevermind."

Nikola observed Sirene's body, "May I ask what you are doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well... you are sort of naked." Nikola chuckled.

"Naked? What is this 'naked'?" Sirene was overwhemled with confusion.

'Whoa, this girls pretty stupid.' Nikola thought to himself, "You aren't wearing any clothes." he said while scratching his head.

"Oh, you mean that rag thing you wear on yourself? I should be asking why YOU wear such a silly thing. And is that made out of animal fur?!"

"Because I'm civilized." Nikola grinning rubbed his chin, gesturing his class.

Sirene annoyed tried to stand up, "You are strange."

"I'm strange? You're the one with the white hair! Albino!"

"Oh shutup!"

Nikola chuckled to himself, whoever this strange girl was, he liked her fiery spirit. Suddenly, uproars of trumpets and movement of running horses were heard in a distance. Nikola alarmed untied his cape, "Quickly! Wear this!" he wrapped the cape around the girl and straddled her onto the horse. The distant sounds were forcefully distinct now.

"What is it?" Sirene asked Nikola.

Nikola awaited, "It is Lord Valescon."
