Serena's wolf had destroyed all that was left of the witches of Yanni and the circle of flames had receded leaving her exhausted and unable to shift back into her human body.
She laid down in front of the castle on her limbs, her head lifted to the moon as she wondered why it was still glowing red when she had defeated the dark witches of Yanni.
That was when she felt it, shard by shard as her sisters were cut off from her. Taken without a trace.
Unable to contain her pain, she howled loudly into the night. Howl after howl and yet her pain never stopped. It felt like she was being ripped apart from her insides as link after link she had with her sisters was broken off.
Nothing in her life had ever prepared her for pain this great and she couldn't take it. Her wolf thrashed and roiled on the ground but nothing could ease the burning within her soul.
