As they climbed out of the mud, a strange silver light glowed behind them.
Kael turned sharply ready to strike.
Out of the swirling light rode Wanda, heading straight for them.
"Let's go I will take you somewhere safe, follow me."
Then Wanda raised her arm, a slender stick was in her hand. She whispered something under her breath and a bright silver light appeared in front of them.
Without waiting, Wanda urged her horse forward and rode straight into it.
Kael looked at Lara who nodded, and together the werewolf and Lycan followed Wanda into the light.
For a moment, everything disappeared. The forest, the mud, even the sound of the hounds, until all that was left was the bright light around them.
Slowly the light faded, and they were standing in a dark open place. Lara and Kael shifted back into human form, both breathing hard. The air smelled of water, and in the distance, they could hear the crashing of waves.
Wanda got down from her horse and looked around.
