The holy words were working. Annika did not understand the language Runa spoke, but she understood prayer when she heard it. Annika was quick to add to Runa’s words with her own prayer. She called on her Creator, thanking him for life and Breath of Wind. She called on Mother Moon and Sky Woman, who birthed twins. She thanked the good twin for the sun, life, food, and the Sisters of Corn, Bean, and Squash. She even prayed aloud to the bad twin, fearing he ruled in this unforgiving land. Finally, Annika finished with a Catholic Hymn her father would sing. His strong baritone resounded in her ear even as her alto filled the space around her. Several demons fell victim to her prayer, and as Annika watched them burn, a hint of a smile ghosted her lips. If only the demons in her world fell this quickly.

	The doors swung open while the creatures burned, and a new group of demons swarmed them. There was no way Annika could leave her group to fend for themselves while she went inside to try and find Ananym, who very well could be Witchfire. Instead, Annika threw her arms wide and looked up to the sky, calling on Brother Eagle to join her. The familiar warmth of the shift enveloped Annika. The bones in her arms grew hollow and light, and feathers quickly covered her body. She shrunk in size, but her power grew. With the change complete, Annika snapped her head down. She looked left and right as her golden eyes took in the surroundings with added attention to detail. Annika took to the air with a loud screech, soaring high above her companions before she dove to grab onto the burning demons below. Despite her new power as an eagle, Annika could not pick the demons up. Screeching in annoyance, she released the demon she had a hold of and flew away, circling once more to rethink her efforts.
