Chapter 1:

Baron George and Sir Alanna's castle,

Pirates Swoop, Trebond.

June 16, 479 H.E.

Shanna looked out over the forests. She felt the wind blowing through her freshly rinsed hair. She smelled the sea smells flowing around the castle. Shanna breathed in. It felt good here.

Shanna heard footsteps, and turned around to see her grandfather, George of Pirates Swoop. She was staying with him and her grandmother for the summer in Pirates Swoop.

"Shanna, you really shouldn't be out here when you've just taken a shower. You could catch cold." He said with a grin.

Shanna smirked. "What happened to the fun loving, danger seeking, young devil George that everyone always tells me stories about?"

George sighed and leaned against the railing next to her. "That George died a long time ago. Around the time your mother got married to your father."

"Oh, poo. I so wanted to see what he was like."

George chuckled. "I'm sure you would have had lots of fun with him seeing as you are the same. Dangerous."

As he spoke that last word Shanna was caused to giggle. "I can't help it if your genes got passed through my mother to me. Blame the damn genetics."

"Although I completely agree with you, I doubt that your mother and father would like for you to be so rude." He sighed. "Well, I think it's time we get ready to leave."

"Leave? Where are we going?" Shanna was confused. She was supposed to be staying the whole summer here. She had only just arrived!

"Didn't you know? Your grandmother won't be able to leave Corus this summer due to Jonathon acting weird from Thayet's sickness. So, were going there. She does want to see you, so badly. How long has it been since you and Alanna actually got to talk? Not counting those letters you posted us."

"Last time we talked was probably my thirteenth birthday when you, her, mom, dad and I all went to the Yamani Isles for a week."

"Mhmm…well, we shall fix that. You and I are leaving this boring place and going to the palace for the summer!"

"Oh goody." Shanna exclaimed with sarcasm.

George raised his eyebrow. "Now what's wrong?"

"It's just that…well…I live at the palace all year long. I never get any peace and quiet. I was hoping that I'd be able to enjoy the space here. Not at another palace where it's all busy and loud."

"Oh Sha." He sighed using her nickname. "Well, I guess we could stay here. Too bad, I heard that the pages, squires and knights were training in Corus this summer. Oh well. They can wait till another year, when you and I are too old for such diddly daddly. Better go tell the servants to stop loading up our stuff into the carriage." He turned to leave as Shanna thought about this.

"Actually, I don't want you to do all that just for me." Shanna said coolly as he was about to leave the balcony. "I'll just have to find some peace and quiet at the palace…maybe on the practice courts…" George grinned at her and she blushed.

'Never underestimate the power of teenage hormones.' He thought to himself as they left the balcony.
