Once upon a time, there was this female pirate, and her name and past were unknown. She wore a black eyepatch that covered her left eye. She wore brown and tan clothing and a brown cloak. One day, she was on one of her many adventures.......

I sail my boat on the waters until I see an island. I know for sure I haven't explored yet, so I decided to anchor my ship there.
Once I'm anchored up, I climb off my ship and start to explore the island. It's not that big, it has a few small hills and a small sandy area, a couple of trees here and there, big enough for a small village.
I find a path and decide to follow it, passing a few small critters on the way, squirrels, bunnies, foxes, mice, etcetera.
Once I get to the end of the path, I find a small cave at the other end of the island. I decide to go inside it and don't find much, just leaves, but it's pretty big, probably could fit about 6 llamas, maybe more, inside it.
I look around the cave for any treature or trinkets I could take with me.
When I find nothing of value to me, I decide to leave, which is about 20 minutes, then I head back to my ship, which is about a 15-minute walk.
I get on my ship and raise the anchor and sail off, ready for another long and lonely day.
A couple of hours later, I decided to get something to eat, so I anchor my ship for some rest and head to my storage chamber where my food and other items are stored.
I reach the chamber, and I find 7 llamas, asleep, next to food with bites in them. What in the world!? I think to myself.
I stay silent, not wanting to wake them and have them attack me until one of them stirs awake.
The llama's eyes open, and it stands up and stares at me blankly and blinks. Creepy.
I stay still, not wanting to startle it and have it attack me, my breathing a little shakey, though.
The llama then gives me a smile of sorts and walks towards me, then sniffs my hair.
"Hm, very lovely boat you have." I hear a feminine and elegant voice say. I look around, confused, knowing it's only me on the ship and the 6 llamas.
"My name is Oradana, and you are?" I hear the voice say again, then I look towards the llama and squint my eyes at it, confused still.
The llama stares at me, like it's expecting an answer from me, then I see its mouth open, and the voice speaks again.
"Well, I don't have all day, Ms. Pirate, me, and my brothers and sisters should really get back to our cave." My eyes widen with shock.
"Y-you can speak!? What kind of witchery is this!?" I yell, terrified.
"No witchery here, Ms. Pirate. Well, technically, yes, a witch had put a spell on my siblings and I when we were born and sold us to some pirates. Who then dropped us off at the island because we were no use to them because we refused to talk for them. Now, what is your name, like I've asked before?" She says.
"You said your name is Oradana, yes?" I ask her, wondering if I'm dreaming.
She nods.
"Well, you can't really go back to your cave anymore, I didn't know you and your siblings were on the ship, and I sailed off." I tell her, cautious of my words.
She stares at me blankly, then smiles.
"Then we shall just travel with you, Ms. Pirate." She says bluntly.
I stand there shocked. 6 llamas, talking llamas, traveling with me, on my ship!?
"Unless you want to turn around and bring us back to our island." She says, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"No, no, it's okay, I get lonely by myself anyways. Company would be nice." I say to......Oradana, I think her name was.
"Very well, now, I've introduced myself. What is your name?" She asks me once again.
"Oh, right, my name is......"
