I was in a familiar area that I remembered from a distant time. It was a beautiful and peaceful grove. There was a beautiful and majestic woman standing directly across from me, staring intently at me. I remembered her loving face from somewhere; I just could quite place my finger on who she was, or what she was from.

"Lyndsay Renee Tsukino, come here my daughter. You are beginning to reawaken in your true form," the woman said, breaking my sputtering thoughts.

"Are you really my mother? Where is my dad? And why the hell haven't you talked to me in 16 years?" I questioned.

"Lyndsay, it was fate. You asked your father and I not to contact you in anyway way, shape, or form until the time was right. You may not remember any of this, but you are not only a goddess, but a vampyre goddess. You took the form of a mortal body so you could go on a quest. You were not yet ready for this task and you failed and ended up in a different dimension, the dimension that you have lived in for the past 16 years, Earth. King Endymion sensed your arrival and immediately found you. When Neo Queen Serenity and he took you in, I personally told them who you were, and what you were doing there. They took you in and raised you with Small Lady. When it was time, you were channeled by Hylia, and that is what led you to Hyrule to obtain the Master Sword and the Triforce," she explained.

"Mom, what is your name?" I asked.

"I am Nyx, the goddess of Night."

"Who is my dad?"

"I am afraid I cannot tell you that, however, I can tell you the riddle he left for you to solve:

Clever young one use your mind,

Night and Sun have been combined,

Then the truth will be revealed," she stated.

"Ugh, typical parents, always making their kids think instead of just telling them," I sighed.

"Now it is time for you to awaken Lyndsay. I wish you luck at the House of Night. If you ever need me, go to the temple on the grounds. I love you, my daughter," she said, cupping my face in her hands and kissing my mark.

I awakened very abruptly and sat straight up. There was a searing on my face where my mother had just touched moments ago. As I looked around the room I realized that I was in some kind of infirmary. There were two shadows outside the door, one male and one female.

"Erik! You know that once you Mark a fledging, you are to have no contact with them afterward!" the female raged.

"I am sorry Neferet, but she passed out. I can't just leave someone passed out in the streets of Tulsa, especially not a new fledging. She could have died. Her body would have instantly begun rejecting the change and she wouldn't have had a chance!" the guy named Erik countered.

"Yes, well you do have a point. However, we must discuss this matter later. She should awaken soon if she hasn't already," Neferet concluded.

You would think a highly trained warrior like myself would have picked up on the fact that they were about ready to come in the room and here I was gawking at the door and eavesdropping which could lead to trouble. Well, if you thought that, you were wrong. They both stepped in the door and it took me 30 seconds to realize that I was still staring at the door.

"I am happy to see that you have awakened my dear Lyndsay," Neferet said.

"Uh, those markings weren't there when I marked her," Erik stated.

"Goodness! It appears the goddess has added to your Mark! It appears she favors you as well!" Neferet said, although she didn't seem too thrilled about it.

"What is going on? Where am I, who are you people and what do you mean by the goddess has added to my Mark and that she favors me?" I questioned.

"Ah, a curious one I see. It doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is that you are well. We were beginning to worry about you," Neferet replied.

"Why would you worry about me? I was only passed out. It's completely normal," I explained.

"Maybe it was for you, but it most certainly is not normal for a vampyre fledging to be passed out for three days!" Neferet informed.

"Three days? Dang! Are you sure I wasn't in a coma?" I asked.

"No, I'm quite sure," Neferet laughed.

"Umm, well, if you two are all good now then I'll just be leaving," Erik said heading toward the door.

"Hold it there, mister. You're not going anywhere. You will be giving our new fledging a tour of the campus and showing her where her dorm is," Neferet said.

"Why should I? You're her mentor, aren't you? Shouldn't you be the one giving her a tour?" Erik complained.

"Yes, I am her mentor, but I am also the High Priestess of this school. Have you forgotten that?" she questioned him.

"School? This is a school? I thought I was in the hospital!" I exclaimed.

"Dear Lyndsay, did you really think after being Marked and passing out, you would be taken to a HUMAN hospital? No, this is the infirmary at the Tulsa House of Night," Neferet explained to me.

"Oh, this is the House of Night? Well, I feel like a ditz! I really should have picked up on that bit while talking to two vampyres. I must have hit my head when I fell down or something," I said.

"Seeing as you are able to function, let's begin on this tour. Shall we?" Erik asked.

The campus was gorgeous. It reminded me of the Sealed Grounds in Hyrule. The Statue of Nyx reminded me a lot of the Statue of the Goddess, Hylia. It was as if my mother, Nyx, has possessed the statue and was staring intently at me.

When we finally reached the girls' dorm, Erik said that it was the end of my tour and that I would be able to find where I was sleeping at in there. I entered the building to find a common room filled with fledgings. I felt as if I had just killed someone as everyone turned to look at me. The room went dead silent.

"Uh, hi. I'm Lyndsay Renee Tsukino. Could one of you show me where I'm staying at?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Why don't you ask Zoey, she's the leader of the Dark Daughters and Sons. She should be able to help you," one of the fledgings said with an obvious attitude.

When Zoey stood up, I noticed a powerful aura emitting from her. She had intricate Marks that framed her face. She started to walk toward me.

"Hello Lyndsay, I'm Zoey Redbird. I see that you are very unique, like me, and that Nyx is on your side. You are welcome to stay with my friends and I in the tunnels not too far from here. There we can get to know each other better."

"That would be wonderful, Zoey. Thank you."
