Quote: The Leaves (7) - With the changing seasons, there are piles of leaves all around Destiny City. It’s a difficult job to try and keep up with them all, and sometimes the allure of these leaf piles is impossible to ignore. Maybe they just need a good kick? Or, who doesn’t want to relive the childish joys of their youth? And no one’s around to see, right? So why not jump into a pile of leaves? Oh–because, when you do, you jump through one pile and come out of another somewhere else across the city. The leaves all seem ordinary, but there’s a few odd seconds between when you jump into the leaves and when you jump out; it feels like falling, tumbling, somersaulting through the air. It’s not scary, just odd. You see walls of leaves–brown and orange and yellow and red–and they crunch magnificently. Overall, it doesn’t seem menacing, just a bit of trickster fun. If you try to step into, or jump in a pile of leaves again, you might wind up somewhere else entirely–or right back where you started.
She was walking through the park when a pile of leaves caught her eye and for a moment, she simply stared at it, wondering if…if maybe she could activate that strange portal again…and where she would end up. It was…
Well, it was something that sounded safe, and Mechelan had her phone in case she got lost, it would only take a moment to change back into Tilly to access it so…
What was the harm, really?
Mechelen gave a sigh and jumped into the leaf pile…and yet again…
There was the sensation of falling…through this time. She kept her eyes open, and she wasn’t utterly in a panic…this…
Honestly it was quite beautiful. A wall of yellow and orange and red…it…
It was over just as she started to appreciate it, and so when she stepped out of the new leaf pile, because wow. The exit could be controlled if you weren’t an idiot and fell into it…she looked around and then spotted another a few feet away, moving over to it and jumping once again.
Three different piles in total Mechelen jumped into, and when she came out of the third, the feeling of an aura hit her like a train and she spun around, seeing a beautiful girl in a very frilly pink and purple outfit…
With the Lysithea symbol adorning it.
Breaking into a grin, Mechelen crossed the short distance between them. “Hello! I’m Mechelen, Page of Lysithea! It’s lovely to meet another Lysiteha Page!”
It looked like the leaf piles had done her well!

Ngome wasn't even surprised anymore at any weird and crazy stuff that happens in Destiny City anymore. Since moving to the city and becoming a knight for a few months she has now been accustomed to all the stuff that happens and have accepted it. Today was no different to any other crazy day she have had. The other day was the dice game, and then the spider webs. And today it seems to be piles of magical leaves. She has seen the piles of leaves all around the city. At first she wondered why no had sweep the leaves but then she remembered where she lived. Large numerous piles of leaves every where? Something crazy that has to do with Destiny City. She decided to try out her theory and to jump into one of the piles of leaves. Taken a deep breath she jumped into one of the piles. As Ngome fell through the pile of leaves, she felt a sensation of weightlessness and disorientation. Her eyes were closed tight for the duration of the fall, and when she opened them again, she found herself in a completely different part of the city. Looking around she noticed another Lysithea knight. She smiled at the girl. "Nice to meet you. I am Ngome. It is nice to meet another Lysithea knight."((222))

Mechelen nodded. “You were jumping through the leaves too? It’s crazy, isn’t it?” What was almost crazier was the fact that she wasn’t…weirded out by the leaf portals any longer…in fact…they were fun…and the fact they had led her to someone who would possibly be a new friend was even better. “How long have you been Ngome? I became Mechelen a few months ago but really…only really started doing anything pretty recently but…I love it…”
She hesitated for a moment, chewing her lip and trying to think of what to say, or to ask and finally.
“Have you gone up to your Wonder yet? I haven’t, but a friend took me to her wonder…it was on Neptune though, she was a Knight of Neptune and it was pretty amazing!”

Ngome's eyes widened in surprise at the mention of going to her Wonder. She had heard of it before but had never been to one herself. "No, I haven't gone to my Wonder yet," she replied, her voice betraying her excitement. "I've heard it's an amazing experience though. She had heard just a tiny bit about it. She wanted to at a little before she tries to go to her wonder. "I have been Ngome for a few months myself too. I just kind of moved here."It has been quite a ride being a knight so far. She has had some strange and thrilling experiences, and it seemed to her that there was always something new and exciting happening in Destiny City. ((123))

“Well, welcome! I’ve lived in the city for my whole life, if you ever want to hang out like…out of costume and need some help finding things, just let me know. I obviously want to be friends if you do!” Mechelen was excited to be talking to this new Page…especially if she was new to the city too…
“How old are you?” It was a good question, the girl didn’t look very old at least, but still…perhaps she should find out this information before just…jumping on the idea of friendship. Still…they had things in common at the very least. Both Lysithea Pages…and both not having gone to their Wonders…
It was a good start at any rate.

Ngome smiled at Mechelen's offer. "Thank you, that's really kind of you. I'd love to hang out sometime." She was grateful to have met another Lysithea Page and potential friend in this crazy city. As for Mechelen's question about her age, Ngome hesitated for a moment before answering. "I am twenty-eight."She wasn't sure if she should tell more about herself. She decided to tell just a little info. "I moved here cause I was looking for someone."She didn't mention that person was her daughter who was taken from her by her parents when she had her at a young age. "How about you?"((105))

“Oh!” Mechelen was honestly surprised. “You don’t look it! I’m sixteen, I’ll be seventeen in January though…have you found the person that you’ve been looking for? I hope you have…” She frowned slightly, not even wanting to think of the odds of finding someone in such a large city…Destiny City was far too big to be playing where’s Waldo.
“If you haven’t found them, I hope that you do soon, and I’m very glad that you moved here regardless, it means another ally and another Lysithea Page to be friends with…so you’re still winning, I think at least.”
Maybe with her powers…Ngome would be able to have a bit more luck in finding her missing person!
Magic helped, after all.

Ngome smiled at Mechelen's kind words. "Thank you. I haven't found her yet, but I'm not giving up." She was determined to make the most of her time in Destiny City and maybe even find her daughter. She knew the odds were against her, but she had to keep trying. "And I'm glad I moved here too. It's been a wild ride so far, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a knight so far has definitely been…an adventure to say the least…but it’s a good one, I think. Where else can you jump into piles of leaves and end up in different parts of the city? It’s pretty amazing.”She paused for a moment before continuing. "Do you have any plans for today? Besides patrolling?" Ngome asked, changing the subject. Ngome was happy to find another Lysithea knight. ((141))

Mechelen nodded and gave a little smile, absolutely feeling the other Page’s determination and wishing she could give something back or…or really help in some way but. Maybe not right now.
“That’s true! It’s such a strange but fun city sometimes.”
The idea of having other plans for the night wasn’t something that Mechelen had really thought of and she shook her head after pondering for a few moments. “Honestly, I should be getting back home. I have school in the morning and it’s getting a bit late…I’m going to hope that the leaves will take me back there, but in case they don’t, maybe I’ll see you again tonight as I’m trying to make my way home.”
She laughed softly and paused again. “I’ll send you a message when I get to my wonder and get my ring. We can meet up again, if you want!”
Mechelen did. She wanted to always meet up with other Lysithea Pages…and maybe…that would start to be some kind of goal.
See how many she could befriend and meet. It sounded fun.
“See you, Ngome!” And with another laugh, she hopped back into the leaf pile and off to wherever it decided to drop her.

Ngome watched Mechelen disappear into the leaf portal with a smile on her face, feeling grateful to have met another Lysithea Page and potential friend in Destiny City. As she walked away from the leaf pile, she couldn't help but think about Mechelen's offer to hang out and explore the city together. It sounded like a fun way to spend her free time, especially if it meant getting to know her fellow Lysithea knights better. She stood there for a few moments, looking around and taking in her surroundings, before deciding to make her way back to her apartment. It had been a long day, and she was feeling tired. ((110))
