Winona dropped Cassidy suddenly, ignoring the peeved hiss exuding from the feline. “Did you see that, Cassidy?” she ogled. “It looked supernatural!” The beam of light flashed onto the ground a few buildings away, expanding and changing colour. The colour shifted to a constant hue, and then suddenly dissolved.
The cat rolled his eyes, not bothering to dignify the question with a response.
Winona stamped her foot, whining a little. “You don’t believe me, do you?”
“We have no idea how the human world operates. Wouldn’t it be slightly foolish to just assume a magical phenomenon is taking place?” He was still aggravated from the sudden drop.
“I suppose you’re right,” the girl yammered as she swung her foot idly. “Plus, this dirty metropolis is too busy to waste energy pushing through crowds.”
“Wow, you’re seeing sense for once.”
The girl chuckled, and bent down to pick up Cassidy. “Yeah, we’ll just pass through surreptitiously and go back to-“ they were already soaring through the air. “Isn’t this much more fun?” Winona screamed. She released a little more magic and fluttered gently onto a building. It was a few roofs away from the scene of the spectacle. The girl gripped Cassidy even tighter and began rushing over to the rapidly gathering crowd. When she got there, she stood in awe. A perfect circle of ashen earth was being gingerly examined by scores of people. Winona jumped off the roof – not caring about drawing attention to herself – and inspected the damage close-up. She ushered for Cassidy to come closer.
“Something powerful did this, and I’m going to find it.”
The girl flew off, leaving the crowd in a greater state of disarray than before. She smirked in her cynical way as she caught some bemused faces out of the corner of her eye. Now all that remained was to locate the source of the blast. Surely something so powerful couldn’t be that hard to find? She began with the alleys: something supernatural (which she now completely assumed) would undoubtedly be keeping a low profile. Unfortunately, the alleys were a labyrinth of twists, turns, and dead ends. When she came to one such blockade, the girl sat down and sighed.
“We’re never going to find this thing, Cassidy! It’s impossible in a place like this.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure. If this thing is as powerful as you believe, we’ll just have to wait for an uproar.”
The girl nodded and cupped her face in her hands. “I wish it would hurry up.”
