I was taken aback by her question,but I answered her anyway."I'm Lyra,and you are?"looking at her intently. She gave me a look as if to say,"You dare ask me who I am?Don't you know me?"But she remained calm and said,"You are not from here?You don't look like the ladies from the West." "I'm not from here,ma,"I said,baring my neck in respect.Even though I didn't know who she was,with the aura oozing out,I knew I should show her some respect. "That explains it.And what brings you to this pack?"she asked again. How do I answer these questions she keeps throwing at me?I don't know who she is.She sounds like a very important personality in this pack.My identity is unknown to everyone except Zach and Julie,so what do I say? "I-I came to check the library,"I stuttered nervously.
