A Rising Tide

The bar was overly crowded, but Aria noticed only supernatural creatures. "What's going on?" Aria muttered.

"What do you mean?" Daniel said from behind her.

She turned to him, giving him a dark look. "Do you really not see anything odd?" She asked.

Daniel frowned down at her but his friend Oliver turned slightly his eyes moving rapidly from one corner of the room to the other. "New girl is right," Oliver said quietly.

"Wouldn't be the first time today that happened," Zira said, as she surveyed Aria.

Aria got the distinct sensation that the fire witch was measuring her.

Zira's mouth twisted into a brief smile. "Does the new girl have a name," Zira inquired startling Aria.

"Aria," she said with a blink. "Aria Summer."
