__//**Backstory**//__
Twilight had just came upon the island of Raziela and Escovia. Lusaya was practicing some magic behind her home, training to endure the pain of it. She heard screams of agony and swam to them as quickly as she could. She saw shrouded men attacking the merpeople of the region. Still being a young mermaid, Lusaya wasn't sure what to do. The elders were trying to battle off the men with magic. Some merpeople were lying on the ground, suffering, dead or dying. Blood was mixing in with the water and it was hard to see past it all. Lusaya's mother was frantically trying to find her children while fighting off the men. Lusaya noticed some of her friends dead on the ground. She swam away and hid for hours, only the sounds of screaming and crying surrounding her. After the attacking men had left she quickly tried to heal the suffering with the little magic she knew.
