While going for a walk one day, Aynota noticed something very strange. She saw a large galleon floating in the lake. The flag on the vessel wasn't a flag from any country she had ever seen. It seemed to be made of a metallic material, something molten lava color with a large diamond with rounded edges symbol in the middle. The background of the diamond was a yellow/orange, well, you know the color of the sun and really bright, like a flash of a mirror in your eyes bright. Aynota had to cover her eyes so she could see. Finally, she saw what looked like a trident, that thing King Neptune carries around with him in the sea. Well, this was just fascinating to her. Where is this galleon from, Aynota thought to herself? She stood there in amazement that this glorious site. Suddenly, she saw something move on the deck. It looked like a person, but not exactly. The arms and neck were longer than they should be and the head was rather large. It didn't look threatening so Aynota wasn't frightened. The thing waved at her and slowed the galleon so it could maneuver the vessel her way. This did make Aynota a little nervous, but there were no visible weapons so she stood there and waited.
The person-creature docked the galleon and dropped a smaller vessel into the water and rowed towards the shore. After pulling the boat onto dry land, the person-creature walked towards Aynota. A sudden rush of fear ran through her, but Aynota was too fascinated to leave. "Thank you for waiting," said the person-creature, "I just need to ask you a question." Aynota nodded her head, and waited. "I seem to be lost and need directions to ………………"
"Excuse me miss," said the impatient customer, "I need directions to aisle 10!"
