[color=a187be][b]Mirabelle Kingston[/b][/color]
[indent]The grey skies vanished and the stench of public sidewalks lifted. The world spun in a haze of bright, white light. Mira lost all sense of orientation in the flash of white. Which way was up or down was lost to the young half-human. [color=a187be][i]Or am I a half-elf? Like a glass half-full or half-empty?[/i][/color] It was an obscure, sudden thought that came in the few moments she was traveling between space. It was gone just as quickly, and a red castle against a blue sky appeared. Between the dizziness and sudden brightness, Mira plopped into the group on her hands and knees with a gasp; and she sat there for a moment, her music resounding from her headphones. 

The grass was soft under her palms, but she knew her black thigh highs were torn anyway. She looked up and around at her new surroundings. Finding herself in the company of peers, blood ran to her cheeks under her pale makeup. Mira clicked off her music before quickly standing--with a slight stumble as she arose too quickly--before fixing her hair. The braid had somehow retained its neatness, and she simply pulled it over her shoulder again as her bright eyes wandered over the others. Mira wasn't given the chance to make any snap judgements before a powerful voice greeted them with a show to follow. 

Despite her straight face, Mira was entranced by the magic. It was fun and beautiful. It was nothing like the things she learned from the Kingstons--not that she had stuck to the practice very long. With a glance around, it was clear he had grabbed the attention of everyone there. The woman beside the man with the sword--now a cane--even watched him, her gaze filled with awe and pride. There was a moment of silence and awe...that was quickly broken as a boy pushed forward, shooting questions off at the mouth rather quickly. Mira watched him curiously. He was younger than she, but reminded her of a cowboy. 

[i]"I'm glad you made it..."[/i] was the only response. 

Mira took it in stride and simply raised her chin and waited, a stillness to rival a soldier's at attention.
