Around Aria, the castle walls fell apart like broken teeth. Her power shot out in silver waves that broke rocks and bent iron bars.
The guards screamed and ran as chunks of roof crashed down.
"Aria, stop!" Caden grabbed her bright hands. "You'll bring down the whole castle!"
But she couldn't stop. The Moon Wolf power roared through her blood like wildfire. Her eyes blazed violet as old magic tore free from years of hiding.
After that, everything went dark.
She was running through a forest that looked like it was from another time. Huge wolves with silver hair and eyes that sparkled like stars were all around her.
In her mind, they spoke in a whisper.
"Child of the moon, you have awakened."
"We have waited so long for your return."
"The prophecy stirs. The old blood calls."
