Three days had passed since Mira had been brought into the sanctuary, and although she was slowly settling into her new surroundings, her trust in others remained fragile. The sanctuary was a place of peace and beauty, yet Mira still found solace only in Canna's presence. She followed him everywhere, her small hand clinging to his as they walked through the lush landscape of the domain.
Canna was pleased to see that Mira was adjusting, albeit slowly. He had been worried that the trauma she endured would take much longer to heal, but the sanctuary seemed to be working its magic on her. One of the most surprising developments was her bond with Nyx, the massive shadow bear. Canna had anticipated that Mira might be frightened by Nyx's imposing size and dark appearance, but to his amazement, she had taken an immediate liking to the bear.
