Compelled to forget the night and everything about it!

—Mira

As the dust settled from Uncle Levi's devastating display of power, my attention was drawn to the two boys still suspended in the wendigos' trap.

Their wide eyes darted between Levi and me, a mixture of awe and terror etched across their faces. I could almost hear their hearts pounding from where I stood.

Earlier, when I had stumbled upon their predicament, I'd thought I could help them out of their mess. Now, looking at the carnage surrounding us, I realized how naive that idea had been.

There had been so many wendigos, and I'd been completely out of my depth. If Levi hadn't shown up when he did...

I shuddered, pushing the thought away. We were safe now, thanks to his intervention. However, as I watched him turn his attention to the trapped boys, a new worry began to gnaw at me.
