Chapter 2
A week later she had landed on the shores of Corus, Tortall. She was now at the palace speaking to the training master, Lord Wyldon. Everyone here had been tricked into thinking that Kalin was a boy named Toren of Pearlmouth. Kalin's bright blue eyes shone mischievously in the lamplight. 'These people are so gullible!' she thought to herself.
"You are dismissed to your new room in the pages wing" Lord Wyldon told her, "Good night Page Toren of Pearlmouth." He said her as she bowed.
"Good night lord Wyldon and I thank you." She responded to him and left the room. As she was led to her room many pages and squires stared at her.
"Who's that?" the murmured to each other. One older boy caught Kalin's eye in particular; he looked at her smiling welcomingly. He had dark hair and emerald eyes.
"Here's your room boy." The servant told her as he opened the door. She thanked him, entered the room and started unpacking. This would be interesting.

The next day all the first years, including Kalin, lined up in the hall to be chosen by sponsors.
"This is Toren of Pearlmouth, who will sponsor this boy?" Lord Wyldon announced to the older boys, among them was a girl; she had short brown hair and kind hazel eyes. She nudged someone next to her.
"I will sponsor her Lord Wyldon." A boy stepped forward; it was the boy Kalin had seen in the hall the night before, the one who had smiled at her. His emerald eyes were sparkling.
"Very well." The training master said, "go about your business then." He walked off and Kalin's sponsor came up to her.
"So you are Toren?" he asked her, she nodded, trying very hard to act like a boy. "Very nice to meet you Toren, I am Nealan of Queenscove." He told her as he held out his hand. As they shook hands he said smiling, "But you can call me Neal." She smiled back at him,
"Thank you." She replied.
