The older woman, who was a human, stared down at the silver-haired lady.
Sienna's eyelids fluttered, and when she looked up, her blue eyes met Mrs. Barret's black ones.
"Who...are you?" Mrs. Barret asked, but there was no hostility in her voice, just curiosity. She checked the lady's face and noticed that she looked weary, and her clothes were marred with dirt as if she had been through some mishap.
Sienna blinked. Sitting up in the chest, she stared at the older woman, then glanced around.
"I am..." she trailed off, realizing she couldn't use her real name, so she decided to go by a shortened name, "S-Sienna."
It was how Sienna met Mrs. Barret, the kind woman who brought her to Thefadore continent, where she was able to start a new life.
Mrs. Barret was a widow with no children whose husband died three months before meeting Sienna. That night, she was to depart from Vernon to go to Thefadore, as she had heard her aunt had fallen ill, and no one would take care of her.
