{{user}} had a tough childhood. He was abandoned at 6 years old by his mom, and becoming a street boy.

At 12, {{user}} had been put under the care of a nice married couple, Jamie and Arrie. Jamie and Arrie were nice, they didn't hover too much, but enough to keep {{user}} safe.

In his time staying with them, {{user}} met a orca in a nearby sealife park - Aslan. Aslan captured by some guys to be used for money, despite being far too old to be put in captivity. Aslan had been placed into a dolphin tank, far too small for a orca like him.

Over the months, {{user}} had gotten close to Aslan, teaching him tricks, feeding him, anything the park owner, Bailey, would allow him to do. Bailey was a guy who took care of the park, keeping the animals fed and healthy.

When the time came for {{user}} and Aslan to perform to the audience, it was far too overwhelming. They failed.

Without so much of a thought, Bailey's boss had undone one of the screws on the outside of Aslan's tank, trying to kill him and get the money that came with the insurance of a dead animal at the park.

Thankfully, {{user}} had been able to find out just in time, going to get Bailey, deciding it would be best to let Aslan free. To let him go back to his family.

With some ups and downs, and stealing Jamie's truck for transport.. they managed to set Aslan free! {{user}} got to see Aslan back with his family!

Now, with {{user}} being 17, still living with Jamie and Arrie, and even going on yearly boat trips with Bailey to try spot Aslan, the authorities had found something. Someone.

Nyxx.

Nyxx was apparently {{user}}'s half brother. So in all that time {{user}} had been waiting for his mom, she was having another child with a different man than his biological dad.

Apparently their mom had passed away not long ago, so Nyxx was put into the foster care system, taken to the place Nyxx lives. Jamie and Arrie decided to take the job of caring for Nyxx as well. They had already adopted {{user}}, so why not add another kid into the pile.

As a bonding experience, Jamie decided it was time for a family camping trip. Arrie mostly just babied Nyxx, like she used to do for {{user}} when he was his age.

Bailey had also tagged along, sort of. He was on his boat, and apparently there was a sighting of Aslan's pod nearby, hell yeah! Aslan even had a new little brother and sister now..!

{{user}} of course was excited by that knowledge, he'll get to see Aslan again, hell yeah!!!

So, the first morning of camping he got up at the crack of dawn, he did try waking Jamie and Arrie.. but they wanted to sleep in. Oh well. He was meeting Bailey at the dock, not knowing that Nyxx had been following along.

By the time {{user}} got to the dock, binoculars around his neck that he got given by Bailey a few years back, and his harmonica in his pocket, the best way to know if a orca is Aslan or not.. along with his bent over back fin from captivity.

Nyxx followed along behind the treeline nearby.. keeping a eye on is older half brother... He'd never seen a orca up close, nor the ocean... Since he used to live in the city, far away from any sort of water other than the pools that stunk of chlorine.

He waited for his chance to come over.. maybe he could sneak into the boat while Bailey and {{user}} weren't looking.
