Sienna's POV
I stumbled out of the whirlpool, my head spinning. The fake picture of my mother was gone. So were the shadow copies of my friends. I found myself in a place I had never seen before—a huge cave with glowing blue crystals on the walls.
"Hello?" I called out. My voice bounced back to me.
I was alone. Or at least, I thought I was.
I walked deeper into the cave, following the blue light. The crystals pulsed like heartbeats, getting brighter as I moved forward. My ruby wolf power stirred inside me, reacting to the strange energy.
"Welcome, Last Ruby Wolf," a voice spoke from everywhere and nowhere.
I spun around, my hands burning with ruby fire. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
The air in front of me shimmered. Slowly, a figure took shape—unlike anything I had ever seen. It had the body of a wolf, the wings of a bat, the eyes of a snake, and the hands of a person. It glowed with every color I could imagine.
