And Carl and my mother both stood with their mouths dropped open, staring at
me.
| felt my arms slump; the adrenaline draining like water out of me. My power and fur receded, and | was left a
little shaky. Carly thrashed again, and I held her closer to my chest so | wouldn't drop her.
"I don't know what is happening to her." | looked up at Carl and he rushed over. "I found her on the floor, but |
knew | couldn't call out for you two." | held her out to Carl as he got close enough and | watched as realization hit
him square in the face.
He paled and looked back at my mom, and shook his head. "Fuck."
"What's wrong?" My mom rushed over and saw her face and she paled. "Fuck."
"What is going on?" | looked from Carly's face and back up to theirs.
"She is a shaman." My mom looked atand | could see she was afraid. "Okay..." | looked up at Carl. "So is her
dad."
"You don't understand, baby." My mom gripped my arms that were still holding Carly. "When Carl cinto his
power, shamans were accepted. Rejoiced even."
"Okay, so why does that matter?" | looked at Carl. "He's your age."
"No baby. Shaman's live longer than most wolves. And there is only one at a time." My mom looked at Carl.
"What are you saying..." | pointed to them both.
"It means that now that she is coming into her powers, 1 will..." Tears appeared
at the side of his eyes. "I'll be..." It was like he couldn't finish the sentence and my mom laid her hand on his
arm.
"It means that Carl is going to die."
reeled back. "What? Why?"
Carl swallowed. "Shamans are rare. Something | think you have a little bit of understanding." His eyes met
mine."
But there has to be a balance."
"Too many would throw the world in to chaos." My mom finished.
"How long?"

Carl shook his head, and a tear fell on to his daughter's face "There is no way to tell. She has to cfully into
her powers, and the goddess, in her wisdom, gives the current shaman tto train them."
"So we have time." | swallow past the lump in my throat.
"Not enough. She shouldn't have had her first vision until he cof age." My mother traced a finger down
Carly's cheek.
"Explain." | furrowed my brow. "Her eyes...slic is in a vislam?" My eyes looked at Carl. "You had one earlier too."
He nodded, finally taking his daughter into his arms.
"I did." Carl hugged his little girl to his chest, and he buried his nose into her hair.
"lI am so sorry, baby." His voice caught, and then he hit his knees. | watched as this enormous man, this wolf,
broke down.
"Mom." | looked up, lost only to find her just as lost as | felt
"We don't have long." My mom's words barely carried over his sobs. "Carl once toldhe started having visions
when he was sixteen and by eighteen, his grandmother was gone." She bit her lip. "The earlier the visions start,
the more powerful the shaman. The faster they master their powers..."
| felt my mouth drop open. Carly was four or five. Her small body was still flopping around, stuck behind the veil
of her vision. "The faster the last shaman dies." | finished, and she nodded.
