Lupin's feet throbbed from her monotonous plodding. She peered at her feet, wondering if her shoes were worn through like they were in books.
Apparently, it was much harder to wear through a pair of good shoes than most stories enunciated, because her shoes looked fine. With a tired half-sigh, she turned another corner.
More Mythics, probably phoenixes or harpies, stood by the entrance to the town. (IS THIS OK?) One of them was tense, looking annoyed, while the other looked pretty oblivious.
They were talking in lower voices, hushed and not quite nervous. She decided not to yell "RABBITS!" at them, as that probably would not go well.
Please come do some poking, she wished, knowing very well that she was going to walk right past them. The sun, rising over the horizon, gave a fiery glow to the docks, masts, and buildings scattered across the seashore.
POKE AT ME PLEASE, she tried to convey with her eyeballs. The eyeball magic did not work, unfortunately.
She glanced up at the sun and stopped dead.
A milky white shape was visible behind a cloud. Terror pounded through her veins -- the moon was up. It was rare for the moon and sun to be visible together in the early morning... but it was currently happening, and she was officially doomed.
Oh no, no no no no no no no no, she pleaded with the clouds, begging them not to part.
But part they did, and the moon shone down on her viciously.
