Hello Ithra, I'm Adira, your wolf.

ITHRA

I blinked repeatedly, thinking I saw wrong. But the fire remained.

“I didn’t think you would do that so easily,” Zadok said from behind me and I jolted at the sudden appearance. “The woods were a bit damp.” He remarked, clearing his throat.

I couldn’t speak. I felt confused. I stared at the fire that turned on their own accord. Did I do that?

“I brought us dinner,” Zadok continued when I didn’t respond. “It was a runner, but I caught it. Should be enough for the night.” He said, presenting a bloodied beaver.

I nodded my head and took a seat on the log of wood, staring at the fire. I heard a tired sigh from Zadok and he walked a few metres from me, tending to dinner.

My heart raced as I thought of the probability of me starting the fire with my mind. It was not odd for a witch to start something as mundane as a fire with her mind, and for the first time, the thought of having powers within me didn’t seem so wrong.
