The days went by quickly for Sara. She was kept busy trying on clothes and helping Daine with animals. Sara liked Daine and her seagull Hooki. Hooki shared Sara's like for the sea as well. When ever Daine went to the sea with Hooki Sara came along. Finally the day of the convent came.

Sara got in the carriage with Daine and the driver. She feared the convent. Not only would they comment on her rough sea hands but they would correct her speech. She liked the way she talked. They wouldn't.

"Hey Daine. Have ya ever been t' a convent?" Sara asked.

"No but I have heard about them." The wildmage replied, stroking Hooki who had come along.

"What d' ya d' there?"

"What do you do? Well they teach you how to sing, walk, talk, and be a lady. Some even learn magic but you're not going for that. You'll meet a lot of people." Daine assured the brown and blue haired girl.

"That sounds so borin'. I know I'm gonna hate it a lot. I hate walkin' like 'em fancy folk." Sara complained.

"Well it's too late to turn back we are here."

Daine and Sara got out of the carriage. Daine wearing a long, simple light green dress and Sara wearing a long blue dress with trims of silver. Sara hated dresses so she had snuck a few pairs of pants and t-shirts in.

Daine and Sara walked up to the gate where three guards were.

"What are your names?" The head guard asked.

"My name is Veralidaine Sarrasri Salmalin. And hers is Sara Yates." Daine called.

"What is your business here?"

"Miss Yates is going to be attending this convent and I am accompanying her."

"Come in." The metal gate opened a crack, just enough for two women to get through and closed behind them with a thud.

The convent was big, about half the size of the royal palace but still big. It was white with many windows. The double doors were made of birch wood. It was the biggest place Sara had ever seen.

"Welcome to the convent Miss Yates and Miss Salmalin. What your posture Miss Yates. Keep your back straight, head up, feet forward, and hands by your side. Follow me."

I hate this already. Was Sara's last thought before she entered.
