I don't own Alanna, George, Tortall, Daine, and anything you recognize. I own Sara. I don't know how to put up a disclaimer this is in the text when reviewing could someone please tell me? Thanks! Also it would be helpful if you guys could provide me with some ideas. Thanks!

"Fine!" Sara replied and stomped into her cabin.

Two days later they arrived to Tortall. Sara got off the ship dragging her pack behind her. There she waited at the dock for her parent's friend George Cooper. Her parents had told her that going to a convent would be good for her. She, however, didn't believe them.

A carriage pulled up. On the side was a lioness and in a seat was George Cooper accompanied by a lady with red hair and violet eyes.

Sara got in and all the way to Pirate's Swoop she wished for the sea. When she arrived at Pirate's Swoop she was measured and put into a room. There she sat and thought of the sea. That was until a knock came at the door three hours later.

"Yes?" Sara asked.

"May I come in? George sent me to explain some things." A woman replied.

"Yeah, sure." In came a woman with brown curly hair. On her shoulder sat a seagull.

"Hello! My name is Daine, and I will help you out. First off the woman with red hair and purple eyes is my friend Alanna, and George is her husband. Alanna has a bad temper so if you keep on her good side you'll be fine. I will accompany you to the convent. I won't, however be able to stay with you." Daine told Sara.

"I'm Sara. Now goin' to the convent aint my idea of fun. Me parents forced me to go. Said it woul' be good for me." Sara replied.

"Oh the convent shouldn't be too bad. You'll get to see Alanna every now and again when you pay visits to the palace for events." Daine assured her.

"Yeah I guess so. Whose that bird sittin' on ya shoulder? Why is 'e just stayin' there?" Sara asked.

"Oh his name is Hooki, and he says he likes it here. Well I must be going to help with preparing lunch!" With that Daine raced off.
