Chapter 23: White Fur, Golden Eyes

Safira found herself in a forest clearing.

There was a howl in the distance, one that felt ever so familiar. It almost felt as if she was the one who was howling. Safira looked all around her, trying to figure out where the howling was coming from.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to find it. She looked up at the sky, only to see a full moon. It was beautiful and mesmerizing, unlike anything she had ever seen before.

She climbed up one of the trees in hopes of a better view and that was when she spotted it. In the distance was a cliff and there seemed to be a creature at the top of the cliff.

Safira found herself drawn to it. She made her way at once. Through the dense forest, she persevered, ignoring the branches and trees that stood in her way. When she finally arrived at the cliff, she made the climb.

"How am I tired from climbing… in a dream," she said to herself as she continued to make the ascent.
