"Hello. My name is Tiaret of Clashing Rocks who are you?" Said Tiaret calmly as she walked straight up to Joren and his cronies. He just gaped at her while his gang started murmuring behind him "Do you have a problem?" she asked in her sweetest most innocent voice. He finally got over his surprise and replied back "Don't think you'll last for long Traello. How much did you pay to get here?" he said the last sentence with a snarl and his gang all sniggered. She looked at him thoughtfully then said softly, almost to herself "so it's like that then." she turned around and marched back to the others. "What was that about?" asked Merric "I just made an enemy in record time" replied Tiaret. "I'm not sure if it's because I'm female or because I'm Traell though" "Oh female definitely" replied Seaver "I'm Traell too remember and I've never been bothered for that. "Well you don't wear the panan do you?" she argued back "but I've got the tattoos!" he protested then realised Kel was looking at him "What?" he asked.
"What is a Traell?" she asked baffled. Tiaret sighed then explained "The Traell are a people that travel around most countries trading. The panan are the things we wear so we can recognise each other. Woman wear a hair veil and men wear a hat thing. Most Traell have element magic and if they do they get a tattoo on their left hand." She said holding hers up so that Kel could see a tattoo of a flaming phoenix. Seaver revealed a tattoo of a wave and a sea serpent. "They're very detailed aren't they" said an impressed Kel.
By that time, they had come to the library. Tiaret was impressed by the size of it likewise the training courtyards and other rooms. "Do you know how to fight?" asked Merric looking at her doubtfully, as she was very slender and petite. "I can fight yes" she replied back with a smile" "where are the stables please? They gave me permission to bring my own horse and I want to check on her" "Over here" said Kel leading them round "this is Peachblossom my horse" "the worst one in the yard" muttered Neal behind her. Tiaret laughed and led them to the end box "This is Teshi, my horse" she said with pride as she stroked the large grey mare inside the box. "She's beautiful!" said Kel as she leaned forward to stroke her long silver mane "how long have you had her?" "Since she was a foal" replied Tiaret as Teshi tried to eat her veil. "Hadn't we better get back now?" asked Cleon wearily "It's getting dark." They all agreed and trooped back to the palace. Tiaret's room was next to Kel's and they wished each other a good night before turning in. Tiaret fell asleep thinking happy thoughts about her new home... little knowing what Joren and his gang were planning for her
