	Annika looked up at the pink dust that fell over them all. It tickled her nose causing the wolf-Annika to sneeze. She rubbed a paw over her nose before looking at the stillness of Runa. Annika whined, worried for the old woman. After another moment, Runa gasped, clearly returning from wherever she went. The news she carried with her did not bode well for them. Annika assumed Runa had gone on some sort of spirit walk, similar to what Annika had to do to retrieve her powers from the Creator.

	Max opened a portal, and Annika did not recognize the scene. It wasn’t familiar to her, but she couldn’t deny the pull to enter. With a final look at the others, Annika padded forward on her paws and entered the portal.

	Annika was assaulted with strange smells and sounds. The demons running amok wasn’t even the worst of it. Strange rock buildings stood all around her. The Sanctum Sanctorum was strange yet familiar. The cloak seemed to respond to the building, feeling more settled on her back. But there were strange lights and hardly any grass and barely trees where she stood. Annika turned in a circle, seeing cars for the first time. Everything was an assault on her senses.

	A familiar voice interrupted her shaking breath, and Annika looked over at Madalyne. Annika stepped closer to Madalyne, seeking comfort in familiar numbers. Annika knew she had to shift back to human soon, but she was waiting.
