#earthrunes

Her wings flare and she places a hand on her hilt.

Grosvenor scowls and follows

She rounds the corner.

Juliet is being trapped by an arm. Two young men are on her, and speaking "YOu know, vandalism is a crime! We'rel lawabiding citizens. '

"Yeah," the other says "And we have to protect our community"

"Assault is a felony, jacko. Hands off."

The two turn. "Who the hell is this?" "Looks lonely to me"

The taser flares.

in the nocker's hands that is

She grins. "Sure thing."

"So - let her go. Now."

They eye her, eye the taser, But there are two of them, and these aree girls.. And it's not like they see the hilt. They aren't enchanted.

"You're welcome to try."

"Leave. My. Sister. Alone" Another girl, clearly her sister, might be holding a gun.

Okay, that is too much, and the Haney's let her go and back up...

She GLARES at the brothers. "And keep leaving her alone."

Their pace picks up, and the taser is put away, Grosvenor pulls out hsi wonderbluss and lines it up to everyoneee. To everyone but Sparrow, it looks like he's acting a bit whackadoo with a looking glass.

"julet, are you okay?" Willow puts away the water pistol she had in the shadows and rushes to her sister, then says to Sparrow, "Thank you whoever you are"

"No big. Juliet here is my friend."

"Yeah she..gave me sometimes' the two sisters hug. Juliet likes to play tough, but it's clear that rattled her.

The nocker is pointing semi discretly to the older sister and mouthing 'ding ding ding' , he even offers the gun for her to look through

"Well, nice to meet you in person. I'm Julia. Yeah, I know." She offers her hand to Willow.

Willow disengages from her sister enough to take the hand. "It's nice to meet you"

"Just ..iwsh it were under better terms"

"Sometimes that's how the world is." A firm shake, and a glance over at the nocker.

The nocker is eying his wonderbluss and looking about. Clearly trying to make a choice here to help break her out now or later.

"Juliet, why don't you take that watergun back to the house?"

"I.. " She nods "Thanks again"

And starts to head off.

Willow blinks, "I should probably go with her, she's been through a scare"

"She's a tough kid... but yeah, she's lucky she has you." A LOOK at the nocker.

"It's not been easy" Willow says "Sometimes I know she thinks I act more like her mom than her sister. It's not fun for me either but.." A shrug

Juliet is now out of sight, and the telescope/Wonderbluss is lined up.

"It's hard. My cousin Colton lost his folks, so it's just him and me."

"Poor kid, yeah, he sounds like a nice..."

BLAM!

Sparrow has never seen anything quite like this. The burst of glamour from the gun doesn't so much infuse the mortal as just punch a hole through her banality and scatter it! Scramble it, lowering it immensely

Her wings flare in surprise!

Instead of the glamour building and building to a burst over the dam, the dam is lowered and...

A moan as visions flow about her, the dance washes all around. It's a kith Sparrow knows well. As where there was once a mortal, now there is a giantess

She takes a steadying breath. "You have the best job, brother."

The azure skin, the white hair tinted with a lighter shade of blue , with armor and a chimerical sword she rises and begins to speak in a language neither understands

"Ohhh.. hey, hey there Willow..."

"Yeah, don't worry, she'll come too in a moment..."

"Is that Norse?"

"Not sure, might be Old English" He confesses, "Like, Pre roman"

And images from a past life erupt around her. Great war horses that a troll could ride circle. Figures blow horns! A dragon's shadow passes over.....

and yet this is actually one of the calmer dream dances Sparrow has seen

"She's doing well, I think... good fit, with her sister..."

Then finally, a gasp "I...I remember... but it's... it's leaving... " SHe looks about as if, "Where is..." Then she falls, tears in her eyes "Oh , how can I miss you so much when I don't remember your name??" She is not talkinng to them, clearly.
