Lyra had gotten her coffee, had taken a seat and took a good long sip of her coffee before she finally opened her eyes again. And what she saw...oh boy. There weren't many outlines where she was at, that she could see, the but the ones that she could see were bolder and...there was color. She could see color now as well. What was going on? Was she going crazy, or maybe she was just hallucinating...could blind people hallucinate visually? But this wasn't a hallucination, she had seen her own hands move back at home...or at least, she thought she did. She could just keep her eyes closed and try to wait the problem out some more, but what if it went from visual to auditory as well? What if she was sick or something? Lyra was really starting to panic as all the possibilities of what could possibly be going on when she heard a voice.

She recognized it as Mr. Putin's voice and strangely (and thankfully) Lyra started to calm down though she didn't know why. She listened as he asked her about her grades in history and if she was having any trouble. She looked up to tell him that she wasn't great at memorizing dates but froze. The way that Sven was looking down at her caused a shadow to fall over his face, not a really dark one, but it was just enough for Lyra to make out certain features, like his nose and mouth, and even the color of his skin and eyes. Suddenly the anxiety that Lyra was feeling before came back and she quickly put her face in her hands. As she did that, all around her the shadows started to move slightly, twitching, and the longer this went on the worse it got. Some shadows even started to have tendrils appear out of them. But Lyra didn't notice, she was too busy trying to calm down again.

Lyra’s dreams consisted of sounds and smells and feelings, so her dream (or maybe nightmare was the better word) wasn’t unusual in that regard. But usually, she was more coherent. She remembered being seated someone, and a woman talking. Lyra remembered the sound of her voice well but not what she was saying, something had made it hard for Lyra to understand anything. Then the next thing she knew, she was lying on something cold and metallic, like an examination table. Lyra could smell…bleach? It was that kind of smell that only a hospital could have, sanitized and overly clean. Lyra couldn’t move either as she felt straps hold her down and the most concerning of all was the needle she felt poking into her arm. She wanted to ask what was going on but nothing was coming out. But soon, though, Lyra was waking up in her bed, confused and slightly disoriented.

At first, the disorientation was just from the really weird dream, but as Lyra sat up she entered a whole new world of confusion. Because she could see. She couldn’t really see well, but she could make out very faint outlines of things. She brought up her hands and watched the outlines moved as she moved her fingers…what was going on? Lyra didn’t get much longer to ponder this mystery though as Lyra heard her door open and the click of the light switch and suddenly the outlines were gone.

“Good morning honey.” Lyra heard her Mom say, then heard her tone change as she asked, “Are you okay dear? You look a little pale…”

“I-I’m fine Mom. Just had a really weird dream…” Lyra told her, not sure how she could explain what just happened. “I’ll be down for breakfast in a few minutes.”

“Alright dear. If you want to talk about it, just let me know.” Her mother told her before she closed the door to let Lyra get ready for school.

Lyra’s mind was busy thinking as she got ready. She hadn’t been able to see since she was a little girl, over eleven years. But now suddenly, she saw something? Was this normal? Maybe it was just a product of her dream or imagination. Yeah, that was probably it. Lyra didn’t have to worry about this. Her day would go on like usual.

So convinced that her vision was back to how it usually was Lyra finished getting ready and headed downstairs and ate breakfast with her mother, who then took her to school. Along the way, though, she noticed more a few more patches of outlines, not very big and when she did see them it was kind of random, at least to her. And she could kind of make out what they were outlines of sometimes...Well, this was getting to be way too strange for her liking. The outlines didn't appear at all if she kept her eyes closed, so that's what she did, hoping that when she did open them again things were going to be back to normal completely, or else she was going to have to tell her parents about this.

Lyra said goodbye to her mom when she pulled up to the school and hopped out of the car, using her cane to find her way into the school, even though she pretty much knew the layout already. She went inside and headed to the school cafe, perhaps some coffee would help her get back to normal?

@DrewVonAwesome So I realize that their powers probably haven't come in yet, could Lyra be able to see in the dark yet or should I hold off on that?

If you had told Maria a year ago that she would be going to school to learn about strange mythical beasts, after inheriting one from her estranged grandfather, Maria would have never believed you. But here she was, pulling up in a limo with said strange beast, a Grim named Garren. But right now, he took the form of a Doberman that she called Horatio. Horatio had been very protective to Maria ever since she inherited him, staying close by her side where ever she went when he could, and staying put until she came back when he couldn't follow her. He reminded Maria a lot of police dogs with how well trained and obedient he was, but when it was just the two of them, he also showed of affection and Maria learned quickly that his favorite spot for her to pet was right behind his ears.

And it was good that Maria got along so well with her new beast as she definitely wanted something somewhat familiar and comforting as she went to, what was to her, essentially a new world. Speaking of which, the limo had stopped and she opened the door and stepped out and got her first good look at her new home, or, at least, the school part of it. It definitely looked like a fancy school, maybe not as magical as one would expect it to but that kind of made sense to Maria. Garren was quick to follow Maria as she walked through the school gates and through the crowd of people, taking note of what their beasts' mundane forms were. Some were animals like dogs and birds (there was even a horse!) and some even looked like people! Maria would have loved to examine them closer, but not only did she not know if that was considered rude, she also had to get to the theatre hall for a lecture. She let Garren lead the way, as it seemed like he had been here before and knew the way.

As she was walking, she fell into step with another boy. His beast was also a dog in mundane form and was actually a puppy. So a young beast then? If so, that was kind of cute. "Hi! You new here too?" Maria asked them as they got to the theatre's door and started to look for a seat.
