Veronica had just finished up tending to her equestrian team's horses, she had volunteered to take care of it after practice. As she walked out from the stables she noticed the sun had already set. "Shoot its that late already I've got to get back to the dorms." She said to herself as she checked her phone for the time. She made sure to lock up before she took off running in the direction of the dorms.
She noticed it was eerily quiet on the path and she thought she smelled something burning. It was all a bit unnerving for the young girl, she couldn't put her finger on it but she felt there something dangerous nearby. That was when she heard it, at first she thought it was a horse's neigh but it was too deep and guttural. She looked around trying to find the source of the noise. Her eyes landed on a huge black mare that seemed to be standing in a cloud of roiling smoke its mane, tail, and hooves wreathed in flames. Veronica wasn't sure what she was looking at, it almost looked like a demon but that couldn't be possible or at least she thought it wasn't possible. She had heard rumors of weird creatures lurking in the dark places of Destiny City but she assumed they were just that, rumors.
It's burning red eyes seemed locked on her as it motioned to charge at her. She had to shake off her confusion and shock quickly as the mare raced towards her at a blindly speed. She just barely managed to dodge out of the of the way and avoid being trampled. "What the heck is going on!" She cried out to no one in particular.

Oh boy. The youma was a big one, and for a brief moment, Stirling almost wished she had time to call for backup….but…
No. She didn’t need it. She was a Squire now, and could do this on her own. When she saw her friends again, they would be so amazed at how much she had grown and that would be that, they’d all go save the world together.
…Or…whatever.
Her unicorn horn dagger was clutched in her hand, and not for the first time she wished that she had her hairstick still, pushing that into the eye of this youma would just be great but…alas.
Still. She was stronger, and she was faster, and as she ran towards the creature and shoved it as hard as she could with all of the force she could muster, she shoved the tip of her dagger into the eye instead, again, using all of the force she could muster. “It’s a youma…you should run okay?”

Veronica looked on in shock as a girl in a pretty outfit ran past her with a sparkly dagger in hand and jammed it into the monster. "A Youma? What?!" She watched the girl do battle with the monster as it bucked and thrashed presumably in pain from her assault.
The girl had told her to run but that didn't feel right to the young lady. She was scared but she didn't want to just leave the other girl to fight this monster, this Youma, alone. She dug into her backpack looking for anything she could use as a weapon. She pulled out her text books and threw it at the Youma. "Hey go away! Bad Horse!" She yelled as she chucked the books at the demonic equine.
She noticed a bright light out of the corner of her eye as she turned her head to see a floating charm next to her head. It looked like a pink crown with three points on it and it was about the size of her hand. "What's this now?!" She didn't understand what was happening tonight.

“Ah…” Stirling winced and wanted to chastise the girl, but was oddly reminded of herself on the night that she awakened. Wanting to help but not really knowing what was going on…and how annoyed her friends were at her…
Almost as if on queue something appeared next to the girl and she swallowed. Ah. So…that’s how it was going to be, then. This was just like the night she awakened…only it was someone else doing the awakening. And that was okay…and she wasn’t going to shoo this girl into hiding.
She wanted to help, fine. She would help. Explanations later. “Take it! Reach out and grab it, you’re like me! Special and magical like I am, take it and we can turn this stupid horse to dust like it belongs.” Page or not. Squire or not. They had power. They had power and they knew how to use it, and Stirling wasn’t going to berate this girl for trying to help, and wouldn’t make her feel bad for only being a Page.
People had to start somewhere and this was how she started. And Stirling would be there to help her as much as she could.
“Just be careful! I’ve got your back, I won’t let you get hurt, I promise!” Moving away, Stirling took a running leap at the youma, aiming a kick right for its flanks, hoping to give the fledgeling Page time to awaken and at least a little time to process.

"Grab it? O...Ok." She still didn't know what was going on but she figured she'd listen to the strange girl who was currently saving her life. She reached out and touched the charm as light covered her and she felt strange.
She felt stronger somehow, like she was now more than she had been a moment ago. Looking down at her self she noticed she was no longer wearing the powder blue colored uniform of Crystal but was instead wearing a pink and purple dress with long yellow sleeves.
She stared in shock at herself for just a moment before she shook it off. The girl had said she was 'like her, special and magical'. She didn't know what that meant but she said she could help fight that monster. So she was gonna help. She watched the girl do a powerful flying kick at the horse monster that sent knocked it back into a wall with a painful sound thud.
She watched as the Youma struggled to get up from the impact and realized this was her chance. She ran over to the monster and gripping the charm brought both her fists down on its skull with as much force as she could muster. She heard a cracking sound as the monster suddenly turned into dust before her just like the girl had said.
"What the heck just happened!?" She exclaimed as she stood up staring at her hands.

Good! Yeah that…that had gone pretty perfectly, honestly, and when Stirling turned to look at the new baby Page…she gave a nose of excitement, pointing at the symbols. “You’re just like me then!”
And she didn’t seem that much older either so…oh…this was obviously going to just be a new friend. A new Lysithea Knight that she got to be there to help protect and awaken and…oh there was so much to do, and honestly, Stirling was feeling a bit overwhelmed but. She’d get there.
“Okay! Okay, the danger is gone, so that’s good…let’s pick up your books and then we should have a talk! If you have some time to talk that is!”
Goodness she hoped so. And she hoped that the girl would want to be friends too…
She hoped so much right now.
