Olivia was nervous. She looked over the goods she had packed, and went over
them about three thousand times, making sure she had packed everything. Her
daemon, Paleem, was fluttering, bird formed, nervously around her shoulder,
making sure she didn't forget anything. She was wearing what her mother had
called a "nice" dress, a dress the color of burnt cream, with a golden,
flowing skirt and sleeveless corset top. Her waist length, curly, tawny
hair was in a French braid, with wispy tendrils hanging out. The
expression on her face was of pure nervousness, her golden eyes worried
under furrowed dark brows. Finally, exhausted, she collapsed on her bed and
fell asleep.
Twenty minutes later, her mother, Lyra Silvertongue, Lyra Belaqua, Will's Lyra, the daughter of Mrs. Coulter and Lord Aserial, Eve, mother of all, but to her sleeping daughter, merely Mum, stomped into Olivia's room and woke her up, her pine marten daemon hissing by her feet.
"Oh-Livia." She said angrily.
"Get up! You are late for the train to St. Sophia's." When her exhausted daughter shook her off, she roared, "UP!" Olivia climbed out of the bed and smoothed her hair down. Her daemon, cat formed, with rich, golden fur, and tawny eyes not unlike his human, looked up sleepily and then slunk around Olivia's heels. Her daemon changed into a golden pine marten, and he and Pantalaimon sat comparing each other. Mother and daughter scooped their daemons up at the same time, where Paleem changed into a lemur and sat, wide eyed, on his human's shoulder.
Olivia and her daemon went downstairs, where her father, John, with his lovely red Irish setter daemon, exclaimed over how pretty she was, and kissed and hugged her goodbye. With that, Olivia and her mother went to the train station, where they embraced and wished each other luck. And then, Olivia Silvertongue-Belaqua, was on the road to her new life.
