On the evening of Sunday, December 1st, something happens. There are those who can explain what and why and how, but those are immaterial at this particular instant, at least until such information is disseminated. And most people will not even be able to tell, if such information is not told to them, that anything happened.
But some will...not because there is a change to the Chantry. The building still stands. The wind still blows through trees, the bubbling warm spring that is the Node still gives off its rejuvenating vibes. Not a sprig of wild grass on the property seems to be disturbed. But those with Spirit...they know something, indeed,
happened.
They know because of Callisto. The bear guardian is someone that anyone who has been on the property and used Spirit magic has likely seen. The enormous white bear-–easily taller than any person and more bulky by several multiples–-can often be seen on the property. Only once has she Manifested, when Mara tried to bring the corpse of the ghul on the property. The rest of the time she seems largely dismissive of the willworkers who populate the Chantry grounds; they live in relative harmony.
After what happens on Sunday, Callisto has lost her calm. She prowls the edges of the property like a vigilant animal who has found a dangerous rival in its territory. She still leaves the mages to their own affairs for the most part, but she is watching them closely now. Her hackles are raised and she seems on the lookout to safeguard against something.
She is a calm guardian of the property, for the most part. It is HER territory but she is willing to share it with these two-legged creatures from the corporeal world. Any other guests they are luring to her territory--willingly or not--are far less welcome.
