Oriana had been dreaming of the day she would meet up with her family in Enmir. Her brother and mother had been away for quite some time and she missed them dearly. She was told by their father that they would be traveling for the first time to see the rest of the family.

The night before the trip Oriana couldn't fall asleep as she was reading books about Enmir and imagining all the scenery and how it would really be there. 

The thing she was most excited about was the fireflies she had been told about. She had never seen one and she couldn't believe that there could be these little bugs that lit up and glowed in darkness. She wanted to catch hundreds of them and bring them home so she could use them as a light night. But her dad had told her it wasn't possible as they would die and they needed to stay in their habitat. 

Disappointed, her father had told her more stories of the marshes and how they were dark, moss covered with hanging mangroves. He then went on telling of all the small creatures she could maybe bring home from the swaps that she would have to properly take care of. There were frogs and small dragon fish she thought of them from the pictures he had shared with her. She had plans to take one home and hopefully they would let her. Ori's brother, Koko, would also enjoy the new pet. 

The next thing she really wanted to see was the Shaedmoor, Oriana wasn't really afraid of dark places. The thrill of the adventure is what mostly got her excited and hearing about how it was dark,marshy and full of intrigue she absolutely couldn't wait. Ori couldn't wait to take a small boat ride in it. She also wished she would be able to swing from tree to tree with the hanging vines that drape them. 

She was ready for the adventure !
