"You are wrong," Berry said, stepping forward at last. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a weight that silenced the room instantly. "This has happened once before. It happened at my clan's lands."
"Impossible!" Fang muttered, voicing the collective thought of the room. "If a Scarlet Bear tide occurred, the world would have known. And you say they attacked the Long clan? If that were true, how is it that your clan still exists today? No one survives a tide like that."
"It's because William was there," Sara stepped in, her voice ringing with conviction. She looked around the room, meeting the eyes of the doubters. "That is why he asked for her specifically. Berry knows how to stop them because she was the only person standing beside him when he pulled off that miracle. She saw the method. She practised it."
