Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mistral had headed out against the better advice of the weather report tonight, and was now reaping exactly what she deserved. Scattered showers, starting around 9 PM, thunder after 10. Around 10:15, she spotted lightning, and the rain got steadily heavier. "Planes would be grounded by now," she said, patting the side of her leg lightly to call Mendel to her side. "C'mon."

Her dog trailed her into a nearby bus shelter, and Mistral settled onto the bench, leaning against the glass. If the rain cleared up, she'd go home. If it didn't, she'd turn back into Anabel and call an Uber.

Mendel hopped up onto the bench beside her, and Mistral sunk her right hand into the thick fur around his neck. She looked back towards the street, watching the traffic - she could feel someone moving through the rain, another knight like her.

Mistral narrowed her eyes, and a ghost appeared in pool of light cast by the streetlights on the opposite side of the street. "Mycenae," she said softly. "********."

Mistral got to her feet as he approached, politeness winning out over her shock. "I am," she said. Up close, she could see that he was a different Mycenae, male, taller, but the uniform was a close enough match that she doubted he could have been anyone else. It made sense. Wonders had to have knights. Accidentally kill one and the next one in the line will pop up, like one of those punching bags.

Ready to fight.

There was no telling if he knew who she was, or the unusual circumstances of his awakening. Would he want to fight her? She hoped not, but it certainly raised the question of whether there was another Cove out there, another Hogwarts... "Mistral," she said, holding a hand out to him. Best to pretend not to know his name. That would just make her look creepy.

"And you are?"
