Miro grunted as his back crashed through the glass of a double window in the building they'd been fighting next to. Tossing his long brown hair, the man blinked his eyes rapidly, trying to shake the hit from his mind and body, preparing to get back in the fight with the shadow monster. But before he could jump back out the window, a gasp drew Miro's attention and he glanced over his shoulder at a door of an apartment. Apparently, he'd landed in the living room, and someone – probably an imaginative child – had heard the commotion and come to investigate. What met his sight was not the curiously frightened gaze of a child but the wide-eyed astonishment of a young woman. She was dressed in a simple long shirt and loose trousers, wrapped with a long cloth sash with tasseled end, and he could see the long braid of hair swinging behind her head. The hall light blazed yellow behind her, igniting a fierce green-gold color in her eyes, making it seem as if they were glowing. The sight held Miro's attention longer than he thought possible before she blinked, breaking the spell. He turned his gaze away, spotted his friends still battling the massive creature, and leaped out the window.
Ginny stood frozen for a few seconds after the stranger had vanished from the window ledge. The sounds of some kind of battle drew her to the ruined opening, and she poked her head out, sharp eyes scanning up and down the street before she spotted the ghostly forms of people fighting some kind of huge beast. Ginny watched, transfixed, wondering how no one was seeing this but her, until the group had vanished around the corner at the far end of the street. Slowly she pulled herself back inside, straightening up and staring absently about the room.
If that's not the randomest thing … but I wonder who he was …
