The paper held between her fingers was just as crisp as the moment Dawn had found it, her thumb idly sweeping over the carved text and coordinates as she slipped through the woods. The so-called meeting place was a far ways away from her little apartment in Chicago, and had taken both multiple consecutive flights, as well as several favors from a friend here and there, to reach the woods that had surrounded it. She had been dropped off near the edges of the place, her ride having taken one look at the thick treeline before laughing in her face. Dawn was grateful for the help regardless, and had given him her thanks before hiking into the woods alone. 

She had been at it for quite some time now, allowing her to stew in her own thoughts. She wasn’t particularly nervous or worried- age had long since tempered her nerves- but she was definitely curious, to say the least. Curious about the Academy. Curious about who else had received the acceptance letter. Curious as to what she might find in the upcoming months. 

Curious, curious, curious. 

One of her questions was promptly answered upon stepping into the light, only to catch sight of a rather...eclectic group, to say the least. There was a small, pink creature, a pegasus...Dawn found herself naturally gravitating to one of the more hesitant seeming of the little gathering, a dark haired young man who seemed to be gathering up his wits. She smiled at him as she moved to his side, bowing her head politely before turning towards the clearing.

Hopefully her approach wouldn’t put him off even more. Poor man looked thoroughly out of his depth.
