Before the arrival of the news that she was to attend school, she was as empty and as lonely as a clam without its pearl. She had seen the world from her tower, but it made her feel disconnected, unsure if what she was seeing was her imagination or reality. Many years of depression had settled upon the young mermaid, her only one bright shining hope was that her parents would one day have to allow her to leave the house.

Spending her life locked in a tower the mermaid expended her time learning about the subjects that were around her, her tutors taught her about the stars, the moon, and the tides that it moved. During those times of study and learning Azura was truly happy. She would learn as much as she could from those who were masters in their art, but soon they no longer visited the eager student and she drifted back into her depression.

Her morose moods improved when the some of the staff would sneak her books from outside the estate. The stories concealed within those pages pulled her out the darkness that was creeping into her being. The written escapades were as fresh as a sea breeze on a hot humid day, they awakened in her a love for adventure and knowledge of what is out in the world. Books gave her a breath of new life, one she never expected to have locked away in the prison that was her tower/family estate.
