[Alessandra]

---

Alessandra slowly made her way up from the cabin of the ship and closed her eyes. She shivered a bit as the cool ocean breeze whipped at her clothing, as if trying to change her mind. As a child the ocean was always a comfort to her, a reminder of home, but today was different. She looked over the side of the ship and in the distance she could begin to make out the outline of Dark Cove, a place she had once loved and considered her home, but also a place that brought her sorrow and fear. She wrapped her arms and her cloak tighter around herself and retreated to the cabin below to finish packing her belongings.

Alessandra wished that Mave had been with her, but he insisted on journeying ahead of her. Rumors had reached him from his trusted servants and advisors that remained in Dark Cove. He did his best to try to hide his growing concern, but try as he might he couldn’t hide it long. One evening as they sat in front of a small fire, they began to talk about the concerns that lay heavily on both of their minds. It was not long before the decision was made to return to Dark Cove. Mave insisted on going ahead, promising he would send for Alessandra as soon as he felt it to be safe. He escorted her safely to her mother’s home in the country before making the voyage back to Dark Cove. They had been apart for only a few weeks, but for Alessandra those weeks felt like an eternity. She missed the thought of having him near, and over the past few months the love she felt for him had only grown. She appreciated the time that they had had together, the walks along the beach, discussing what their futures might hold in store for them. After a few weeks word reached Aless that Mave had secured voyage on a ship for her, and promised he would meet her at the docks of Dark Cove when she arrived.

When she reached the ship she was greeted by an older gentleman that introduced himself as Albert Barton, the captain of the ship. She could see the twinkle in his eye as he relayed the message he had been given by Mave… "Lord Gerhart said to take good care of you missy. An’ I don’t care to be fed to that there dragon of his, so I plan to do just that.” With that she was given a brief tour of the ship, and they set out on the voyage. The trip was uneventful, and on the third day the captain told her that they would be arriving at the docks of Dark Cove by sunset. Hearing that news lightened Alessandra’s heart, and the day seemed to go by fairly quickly, until finally she heard the captain call her up so that she could set her eyes on Dark Cove.
