Leelo was only halfway home when she heard the howl. She’d foolishly fallen asleep below the pine tree. Now, her entire body erupted in goose bumps, and she could feel every hair on her arms standing straight up, like a lightning storm had just passed through.

But then it happened again and again, and Leelo felt the sound in every part of her, as if this were a song she’d known all her life.

A sudden gust of wind blew past, making the trees around her creak like old, forgotten doors, and Leelo knew this time that she wasn’t imagining things. The Forest was speaking.
And a wolf was at the doorstep.
