she notices that along the way home the transformation becomes harder to sustain and eventually fades.

Dawn was actually grateful that the transformation faded by the time she got home.  She didn't want to explain it to her parents.

Once she was safely inside her condo, Dawn woke up her computer and began searching for answers to a few questions.

What were those things?

Did anyone else transform the way she had?

OOC: Should I roll on Computer Use, or research?

(Hmmmn Computer

Dawn sighed at Bing and Google.  No answers. Where was Merlin when you needed him?

She did her homework until six in the evening, when she watched the local TV news.  She hoped someone had found the mess and was willing to at least speculate about it.

She finds some interesting references 2 missing persons in the last few days no sign of a body or a struggle just vanished without a trace...

That is interesting, Dawn thinks.  Did they transform the way she did?  Did they get eaten by things?

Dawn takes notes on where those two missing people were last seen.  She'll go look at those places tomorrow.  For now, she'll try to get ahead in her classes, just in case she won't have time for homework tomorrow.

Eventually Dawn will go to bed, perchance to dream.

she is surrounded in her Dreams by Soldiers clad in mail who she feels enheartened by and who are clearly enheartened by her

their in some kind of City made of white stone with gold trim just at sunrise.

Clearly the thing to do is to give a rousing speech, then go find the enemy.

Unless the battle's over already.  In that case, give a victory speech and go explore the city.

she goes out to find the enemy knowing she exists for this to fight this war to defend the people to be the Champion

She wakes up the next day.

Dawn thinks about the dream while she's getting dressed for school.  What was that city?  It certainly didn't look like Camelot.  Was it Atlantis?

Dawn did her best to appear completely normal at breakfast.  When she went to school, she tried hard to pay attention in class.  It was a little difficult, given that she might be fighting more icky things after school.

After school, instead of taking her favorite shortcut (which she will never take again) home, she goes to where the first missing person was last seen.  Odds are she will find nothing, but she will try, keeping in mind what they say on TV about investigating crime scenes.

When she gets there she finds same thing police have reported That they vanished...

She finds though a slight conspicuous scrape on the paint on a bench along one of their regular routes suggesting their was a bit of a struggle... but no body or blood...

Dawn thinks whoever did this was good, or good at cleaning up.  One struggling victim and all that was left behind was a scrape in the paint.

Dawn sighs and goes home.  Once again, she will see what the Internet can tell her.  Did the two victims have anything in common at all?

she finds both were out at night when they vanished

they were 16 and 23 years old.

Shes able to penetrate things on her condition and find a number of forums aimed at "The hopeful"

Dawn frowns.  Obviously she'll have to go back to where the two disappeared from at night.  That's going to be tricky.  She usually isn't allowed out very late.

Dawn decides to investigate the forums about "The Hopeful".  Maybe she can learn something about yesterday from them.  She certainly hopes so.

she learns the basics of what the hopeful are That they magically transform to use their powers.

and that they have a mandate to protect and improve the world.

Well, that sounds like what happened to me, Dawn thinks.  Now what?  Should I go seek the Holy Grail?

Dawn does some more digging into the forums.  Is there a discussion group or a support group?  She won't be able to meet any of these people in person, since she can't hand out her contact information.

Their is to the best of my knowledge no such thing for now you should prepare to make war upon creatures of darkness.

Dawn stares at the computer screen (even if that isn't where the message came from).  That's just plain bizarre.

How does a twelve-year old prepare to fight the forces of darkness? Can she get a fencing teacher?  Would practicing the transformation until she can do it smoothly and fast help?  Where does one get armor these days?

Dawn decides that the Internet can help her find a fencing teacher, after she bookmarks the forums about "the Hopeful".  If she can find one willing to teach a child, she'll note down prices and talk to her parents about it.  They have to pay for it.

Until her parents get home, Dawn practices transforming in her room.  That way, her parents won't walk in on her in what she thinks of as "princess form".

she finds it not much of a practicable skill but something coming from her Belief and Light within.

on the forum they mention that she should try to look for other local hopeful if possible


Don't hunt Darkspawn alone if at all possible.

Does this helpful forum have tips on how to find other Hopefuls?

Dawn has no idea how to go about this right now.  If Dawn can't find other Hopefuls, she'll have to go fight Darkspawn (whatever those are) all by herself.  Dawn suspects that dialing 911 the next time she sees something icky won't be an option.

Theirs a number of forums we can set you up with that will help you meet prospective Nakama mates.

also look at the website for the light company but be aware they are mercenarys and will charge.

Dawn types back, Thank you very much!  The Light Company is not an option, so if you would set me up, that would be very helpful.

Why are they not an option? You can pay in wisps

still it is best to limit your reliance on them to a as needed basis especially if your young.

occasionally you might simply need their specialtys

But don't rely on t hem for every day things.

Dawn thinks for a bit.

I'm young, so paying much of anyone for anything is not an option.  What are wisps?

Wisps are part of who we are they fuel our charms.

Their formed of emotional energy...
