Ning went to the station the next morning, arriving later than most days as he had gone on patrol around the city for a while before coming.
The station was quieter than usual, although the silence was broken every few seconds by phones ringing, officers calling to one another, and the sound of someone dragging a heavy box of case files across the floor.
Ning walked into the homicide division and immediately noticed Mira standing beside her desk.
The young Wood-Elf looked far more energetic than she normally did this early in the morning, shifting from one foot to the other as she waited for someone to notice her, while the wide smile on her face made it clear that she had news she was struggling to keep to herself.
The moment she saw Ning, her eyes lit up.
"Sir Valen!"
Ning barely managed to raise a hand in greeting before Mira rushed over to him.
"I awakened my power."
Ning stopped.
"You did?"
