Hypatia was trained as a grange-mage in a Meletian temple to Karametra, but found that her calling was on the field of battle. She took up the sword and shield of the Meletian army and showed great promise in fighting off threats to the city.

During one battle, she was wounded on a high plateau overlooking Meletis. She saw a pegasus herd flying overhead and said a silent prayer. A pegasus flew down and allowed her to climb onto its back, saving her life. The two of them became inseparable.[1]

Inspiration[ | ]

  • In Greek Mythology, the hero Bellerophon flew on the back of a pegasus.
