My father skidded to a halt at the edge of a small clearing with a stump in the center. I slid off Loki's back and he trotted off to shift. He walked back to me and gestured to the center. "Go sit."

I nodded and walked into the clearing. The tree's shadows were still deep, as the sun has just breached the tree tops. I shivered, not from the cooler temperature since wolves burn hot, but from the feeling of woods. It felt like something was here. Something was waiting for this moment.

I turned to face my dad, and he was still at the edge of the clearing “Why are you still back there?"

shifted toward him, like his intake of breath was pulling them to him, and then he blew out. The trees bent backwards and shivered in the wind, almost dancing like they were happy. "Sometimes we take power, sometimes like now, I give it."

My mouth was hung open, and I was looking around. "How did you do that?" My eyes darted from the dancing trees to my father and his face was alight.

"Magic." His laugh was contagious, and I laughed with him. "Now to do that, like I said, the first step is to

connect to nature."

"How?" My mind was blown, and I had no clue how to connect to anything other than my phone.
