Dane"Damn it, Mira! You fiend! Get down here!"
"Hm? You dorks still waddling around down there!?"
Miraline turns her head back to glance at her pursuers briefly, hazarding a mirthful laugh as she preforms an acrobatic flip through the open air above their heads. Grasped in one hand is a bundle of what seemed to be belts, clattering together hazardously as their holder gracefully spins through the sky-
"Anyways, what happened to all that energy you had earlier? Here, look, I'm slowing down just for you!"
Just as she says this, her seemingly free hand grabs hold of a cable attached to her glove. She pulls on the wire strongly, subtly adjusting her trajectory until she lands safely on the roof of a nearby shop. Without missing a beat, she released a small clasp on her glove and retracts the cable back into her glove, instantly returning the hook that had been attached to the building two roofs over. Satisfied with her stylish landing, she twirls casually towards the edge of the roof and peers down at the handful of men clutching their pants and glaring irritably up at her-
"Well, what is it? Aren't you going to jump up here and grab these back? I guess I'll have to help you out a little..." Miraline hangs the belts tantalizingly over the edge of the roof, and every man in the crowd collectively gasps. Not one to give up a chance, she thrusts her feet down to steady her footing and begins to twirl the handful of belts in the air like a lasso-
"Now go get them!"
Releasing the grip on her prize, all of the gold-tinted eyes below watch hypnotized as the belts fly lazily through the air, over their heads and onto the roof of the building opposite. Rather than taking this moment to escape, Miraline lets out a victorious chuckle and places her hands defiantly on her hips. "That outta show you fools not to mess with me!" With this final taunt, the youthful vampire sticks her tongue out teasingly and leaps off the roof directly into the crowd waiting below. They seem surprised at first, but quickly react to her insane leap, reaching up into the air to grasp at her as she fell...
"As if!"
Catching herself just as she nears the grasping arms of her kin, she quickly launches the cable from her Mobility Glove and attaches it to the same tall building as earlier. Applying subtle magic pressure to the cable, she deftly manipulated the mechanism in her hands and suddenly flies off as if shot from a cannon. Again, she hazards a glance backwards at her unfortunate victims, who had let go of their pants to try catching her. Realizing their mistake as she dances off into the sky, she can't help but release another playful laugh as all of their pants fall simultaneously, revealing their undergarments for all to see. Ignoring cries of anger and embarrassment from behind her, she curves casually around the corner of the tall structure and disappears from sight, making her way across the city to the place she called home...
Two hours later...
"Huh? Where did this come from?" Miraline stops what she was doing and reaches down to grab a loose flier posted to the door of her apartment building. <An advertisement? Lets see...wanted, monster hunter?! Huge reward? Well, I am sorta tight for cash, no clue what a Monster is, but I'm sure I'll be able to kick its butt...> With suddenly revitalized determination, she rips the flier from the door and dashes excitedly into her apartment building, body full to the brim with anticipation for the coming adventure. She doesn't waste any time packing up, shoving a handful of necessities and a spare set of clothes into her backpack, sheathing her father's shortsword safely at her side and covering it with her mother's warmest wool cloak. She lingers at the doorstep with a melancholic look on her face, eyes drawn to the lopsided family picture hanging lonesomely on the wall. <Looks like I'll be leaving after all, Mom. I'll try to bring Dad back this time, yeah? Just sit tight...>
With one last longing look at her parents, she gives the picture a quick kiss and rushes out the front door, heading briskly towards the city limits. As she runs through the uncrowded streets, she passes a few familiar faces and returns their smiles of recognition cheerfully. With the flier grasped tightly in her hand, she rapidly approaches the nearby guard checkpoint and slows her pace, waltzing casually up to where two guards sat talking to one another. They were fully suited, and their weapons sat idly at their sides, they didn't get much action these days, but they had to be ready for anything. When they saw the cloaked girl approaching, they adjusted their stance warily, but immediately loosened up when they saw who it was, and what she was holding-
Miraline can't help but smile defiantly as she thrusts the flier out before their eyes, golden eyes almost glowing as she speaks...
"Bring me to the Capital, I want to to go fight the monsters. You guys have a dragon, yeah?"
Sometime early the next day...
