I had felt that rush of power. I had felt the compulsion toward Uncle Howard stop. I was no longer being pulled along by his words. But I still couldn't move. It was like I was trapped in my head.
I was still in that same place with my wolf. It was still very dark and I wasn't able to see anything, but I felt the presence of the animal all around me. This was something new, something different. I didn't know how to think or feel about it, but I knew that I wasn't afraid.
Something about my wolf was very comforting. I wasn't afraid of my wolf or the powerful aura I could feel coming off of her. I felt the need to talk to her more, to bring her into the light so that I could see her.
"Do you have a name?" I asked my wolf, uncertain of what to say to her.
"My name is Lyra." Her voice was strong but she still sounded scared and lonely.
"Lyra, can you come out of the shadow, can you come to where I can see you?"
