The shard flared.
Cosmic energy streamed across the beach, gathering into a broad back, powerful legs and a long, sweeping tail.
Lunumbro landed before them.
Giantwave stepped back.
The wild lycat, far from home, barely glanced at him. His nose lifted towards the trees.
He sniffed once, then dashed into the trees in pursuit.
Mai followed. Giantwave hurried after them.
Through tangled roots and overgrown stone, Lunumbro moved with growing certainty.
At last, he came to a clearing and stopped at the edge of a foreboding tree line.
Lunumbro sniffed the cracked stone that peered through the sand before him.
The engravings on the stone made Mai’s heart leap. She became paralyzed as memories from another life crashed into her.
Years ago, Silas had vanished here.
