(Terrible map, I know, but I prefer to leave it up to people's imaginations~ This is only a 'base' of what it looks like - you can imagine it however! ^^)

-- Esterpine -- Lost Island of Creatures --Unknown --

Located in a remote, blocked-off area in an abandoned town, kept hidden from public for hundreds of years; this is a small 'school', of sorts, which lays between the abandoned and rotting buildings, completely unknown, and forgotten by those who walked there years before.
Its walls house the humane-creatures who wander the ruins, teaching them survival and life. Woods hide the place, and only the bravest (or the lost) dare to wade through the darkness in their search (Pray, they don't get mauled along the way...).
The people who live here are strange, a tragic experiment which led to severe mutations - to the point of Supernatural. They hold strange powers, strange expressions, strange bodies, strange views, strange everything. They're human, but not. They're social, but can rip you apart in seconds. They're smart, but know little of outside life. They're strong, but afraid - afraid of one thing. Something they know of only as 'her'.

One man, Alfred Marsh, discovered this strange town after getting lost and seeing a cut through the forest up ahead of his path. He came out in the strange place, unknowing of what to expect. After wandering about, tired and broken, he collapsed, waking up several hours later in a crumbling building, surrounded by...Humanoid-type creatures. They were eerie, staring at him with curious, unblinking eyes - those who had them, anyway; but they didn't seem to want to bring him harm. As Alfred regained his complete consciousness and sat up, the creatures moved closer - some making chattering noises to the ones around them - their own language.

They were hostile at first, but some braver ones offered him comfort and help. Soon, Alfred had begun to bond with them, making them his friends and learning of what they were.
As the years went by, their culture and understanding grew. Alfred taught them things: how to hunt, how to read and speak, - how to be human and how to be real. He was their teacher, their friend and guardian...Someone they highly treasured and loved. He was friendly, kind and patient, building and giving them resources.
Alfred made it his job to find out more about these strange mutations and what caused them - and when, maybe even who. It was advanced research, but the creatures were willing to help. He began to search and experiment, seeing what mix of chemicals resulted in what. Years went by. He recorded all results was close to finding out exactly what the chemicals were - and maybe even something to reverse the mutations.

But, unfortunately, he died of a heart attack soon after making his last notes, at 72 years old. Mid-way, he started feeling weak, and so only partially wrote his last conclusion.
His last lines can be seen written here

It is yet undeciphered. The creatures found their guardian, dead, and there was immediate havoc. A funeral was held, and the book kept hidden, treasured and looked after. Their only clues, and last remains of Alfred.
They still don't know what he meant, but they now begin to fear the worst. They have to work with what they know, what they've learnt and continue to progress, in hopes that, maybe, they'll find what their dear friend had worked out.
They live and train now, in a school they have made, to find the meaning of his final passage.
They can only hope to decipher it before it's too late.
