"Taaaaaaaria!"

The high-pitched warble roused Calliope from her sleep. Through bleary eyes, she glanced at the dorm window to see the first rays of dawn. [color=00AAFF]"Just a little longer..."[/color] she mumbled, rolling over, prompting Seraphine to nuzzle her cheek and chirp again. She groaned - and sat bolt upright as she realised what day it was. [color=00AAFF]"Ah! I hope we're not late!"[/color]

She hurriedly dressed and rushed from the dorm, Seraphine in tow. Shivering, she jogged faster, as much to warm herself up as to avoid being late. It had been a year, and she still wasn't quite used to the chill mountain air, especially in the mornings and evenings. Of course, getting to meet the Rallen Knights, and the prospect of becoming one herself, made it all worthwhile.

A chance she didn't want to jeopardise by getting in trouble.

[color=00AAFF]"If we're gonna get there fast enough,"[/color] she panted, [color=00AAFF]"looks like we'll have to make a dramatic entrance. Unity Mode Activaaaaate!"[/color] A brilliant blue glow surrounded Calliope, her entire body feeling lighter as the transformation took effect. Once the light faded, revealing her blue battle outfit and fluffy cloak, she threw her fist in the air. [color=00AAFF]"Alright, you ready Sera? Let's take on our newest opponent: Time! Dragon Dance!"[/color]

As Seraphine twirled by her side, Calliope spun and leapt, sky-blue auras forming around both of them. Their pace sped up, surroundings rushing past. When the gate and courtyard came into view, Calliope winced. A good few people were already there. She danced forward at full speed, towards where the others trained. [color=00AAFF]"Ahhhh! Look out!"[/color] Unable to stop herself in time, she barreled right into one of the newcomers, a green-haired girl with a Kirlia.

[color=00AAFF]"Ooops! Sorry about that!"[/color] De-transforming and staggering to her feet as Seraphine chirped in alarm, Calliope held out a hand to help the girl up. [color=00AAFF]"Are you alright?"[/color]
