he came to the Steppe on a day when the sun was low and bright on the horizon. Mephisto had only just begun to explore Novus as part of her scouting missions for the Halcyon, and already she was learning more than she realized about the world that was now her home. She’d seen the deserts of Day Court, the forests of Dawn Court, the night markets in Denocte… but the common lands had remained a mystery to her until these days. At first, she had begun to make her way back to the temple of Vespera, curious to see if the Goddess would show herself… but then, there is a distraction which draws her flight short.Mephisto circles the Bellum Steppe, noting the battlegrounds with mild curiosity and smelling the acrid scent of blood on the air. These were expected things where battlegrounds were concerned… but what wasn’t expected was the gemstone field that stretched along the eastern edge of the cliffs. It was otherworldly, and immediately the Pegasus knew that there was a magic at play here. She didn’t care to speculate if it was dark of kindly magic, but as she swooped low over the field and later settled among the emerald, ruby and sapphire blooms, she was careful not to damage or touch the blooms.
Where others would take a piece for themselves, Mephisto respects the magic too much. Instead, she simply walks through the field with her mind filled with wonder and curiosity. The warg always had a respectful approach to magic, knowing that it could turn on you in an instant (as it had with the Winter Court), but finding it impressive all the same. It was a reminder of their own humanity and insignificance in the world, and she hadn’t felt as small as she did in this moment in Novus.
She stays for only a few moments, drawing in her last vision of the field before taking to the sky again, abandoning her idea of visiting the Peak in favor of returning back to the Halcyon barracks, eager to share the strange phenomenon she’d witnessed with others, leaving the magic field behind her.
