The aliens in this story look like large snakes, but they have fur that comes in different colors, and they have seal like faces with parrot like beaks. These aliens, which are called the Mystana, are sea dwellers, and protectors of the oceans and all of the animals in the oceans. The Mystana feed on emotions, and plants. The Mystana are the size of squirrels when they first hatch, but quickly become the size of a killer whale. The adult Mystana have venomous fangs, which they use mainly for self-defense. The baby Mystana acquires the fangs as soon as they become adults. The first female infant Mystana that connects with Sara has light cream colored fur with a black diamond pattern. This is the story of Sara and Misty, the first baby Mystana that she plays with during the sea voyage that Sara stows away on. When a Mystana brings Sara to the Mystana's nesting island, they take good care of her, supplying everything that Sara needs and in return Sara protects them from people, who want to exploit the Mystana and put them on display. Living on the alien's island changes Sara and lets her start breathing underwater, which allows her to spend her time swimming in the ocean with Misty and Shell, the other female Mystana that Sara connects with on the Mystana's island, and it also causes her to become immune to the Mystana's venom, after she gets bitten twice and gives her the gift of healing the Mystana if they become slightly injured. Sara is the first of six people, who are selected to protect the Mystana, and the second person that is chosen is John. The remaining people that are selected to protect the Mystana are all orphaned girls. On the day of her twelfth birthday, Sara, who had black hair and brown eyes, was on the dock when her father's ship tied up to the dock. She ran to him when he stepped onto the dock. He opened his arms and wrapped them around Sara when she reached him, lifting her into the air. When he put Sara down, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a stone egg. As Sara's father, Luke, held the stone egg up in the light, it sparkled with multi colored reflections. He handed the stone egg to Sara and said, "When I saw this, I knew you would like it, I found it on an island east of us." Sara took the stone egg, she put it in her pocket and then said, "I really like it when you come home to me." Sara and Luke walked back to their home, arm in arm. She opened the door and Sara followed him inside, shutting the door behind her. That night while Sara slept, she was unaware that the stone egg that Luke had given her was hatching, into a baby Mystana. As soon as the baby Mystana had hatched, it looked around before slithering over to Sara's bed, climbing up the bedpost and onto the bed. Sara woke up when she felt the bed moving. She turned over
