Nina's eyes flashed open. It was early evening, and far below her was the ocean crashing and churning against the rocks. Nina had always liked the little brooks and creeks that had flowed near the plains, and so when she had to leave them, she had headed south where Alana had said was the biggest lake on earth, an ocean she had called it. Alana certainly wasn't joking, and when Nina had spotted the small cliff that overhung the ocean just right, she knew it was the perfect spot to make her home. You could see the waves just being to turn, and all the little streams along the coast, and at nightime, you could see the sun, a burning ball of flames, paint the sky pink before going to bed. That was her favorite time of the day, in fact, and she normally slept until mid-evening, when she strechted, caught her meal(normally a seagull or two) and enjoyed it while watching the sun set. So what had awakened now, Nina wondered. Was a stranger nearby?

ooc:Just thought I'd add this. Because this is the biggest body of water the wolves have seen, Nina thinks it's an ocean, not a lake.

Dri padded up the hill to her den, when she smelt the hint of a new fae, and Dri walked up to her and said,"Welcome!, to the Jaded Rocks! I'm the Alphess, Dri."

Nina froze, staring at the newcomer. Only new to her of course, the alphess had to know her way around the rocks to find Nina's relativly secluded cliff. If Nina hadn't been so nervous, she would have found it slightly comical, this young female declaring herself alphess, without any ado. Back in her old pack, alphas or alphess had to prove to the Healer, the Elders, the Huntresses, everyone that they were worthy, before even thinking about becoming a leader. Still, Nina was certainly not going to challange Dri's right to control, and besides she had been a bit lonely in the last few weeks up here on the the cliff. Taking a step closer to the new female, Nina began to speak, stammering every few words. "My name is Nina"she said quietly."Are we the only ones here?"

"No," Dri sighed." There is Aife and Weylin. They are here also."

"They are two small cubs. One, a fae, Aife, and a male, Weylin. You may encounter them on your journeys through the woods."Dri explained."And, They are hunter,Weylin, and Warrior, Aife. You have to choose, too. IT may not be an simple decision. But it is necessary. And you nay choose from, Warrior, huntress, wise one, or council member. Choose wisely." She added simply.

Nina stared at the new female in despair. She wasn't good at fighting, never liked to hunt, wasn't paticularly wise and the idea of her being a council member was a laugh. In her old pack, she had been a cub-sitter, but she saw there was no need for a job like that there."I can't decide,"she murmured.

"Perhaps you can't, but neither could Aife at first. You will learn. And in the meantime, if you really can't decide. You can decide on another day. For Time is an illusion," Dri said to the fae. "Someone wise told me that one day, long ago. For all I know, he is lost, or dead, even. And nothing can prevail me for the hunt that awaits. The Evils' hunt. There is a darkness in the world. And all that can be placed in the world, if nothing but people were here, it would still be the same. If there was always time. If, if ,if. Those two letters make many of the differences in the world. If we will live to have cubs. If we will have a war. If we will live to see another day. If you will be able to choose, you will be ready for the hunt. The war, the tomorrow." Dri knew that Nina might be confused. And she was Okay with that. For, as she had said, time was an illusion made for change. And this young fae, Dri knew, that she will one day be a wise one. A wise one with a big heart. And she would grow to be a great Den mother. So Dri awaits her reply.

Nina stared at Dri. The young wolf who had just a few moments before seemed so comical now reminded her of the elders back home. There was something about her words, that was soothing and right, even though Nina didn't understand half of what she said. Still, Nina was troubled by some of the things she had said. Evil? War? If you would live to see another day? Nina didn't want to think about that, any of that, right then. Instead, she stared out past the female , past the cliff to where the sun was setting. Just like always it was painting the sky pink and orange, but this time Nina wondered what it saw, what it heard, during the day. "Where does the sun go?" she asked the female, who was standing a few feet away. "What's on the other side of this lake?"

"Dear, no one can possibly know everything. Learning takes time. And through your experiences, you will learn. And you will trust."Dri answered."Now, think hard, What position do you want to be, dear?"Dri eyes shining with brilliance. If you knew Dri, you would know that she was looking at the young fae with open eyes, and an open heart.

Nina stared into Dri's wide, loving eyes. Somehow, she had the feeling Dri was telling her what position she should be in. Learning.... learning.....learning! For the first time in her life, Nina shone with confindence. "Wise One"Nina decided."That is my place".

'Okay then. It's settled. You will be a wise one. I was predicting this. You have the aura of a wise fae. You will learn jubilantly."Dri answered. Dri was thinking of what would be left of her during the next times. And the next hunt.

Nina stared at Dri blankly. She had such an odd way of wording things, and Nina was thoughtful at the idea that Dri had predicted she was a wise one all along. Had she always been a wise one, even at birth, even in that first winter? Or had she changed into a wise one sometime along her long journey south? She certainly didn't feel wise, but perhaps she could learn. At the moment, though, Nina was worried about Dri. She seemed distant, somehow, as if she was thinking about other things, things that troubled her. Nina remebered what Dri had said before, about war and evil. Hoping to bring Dri back to earth, and to stop herself from worrying, Nina asked a question"When does my training start?".

Dri laughed. Not a cruel laugh, but a laugh of warmth. "Dear child, the training has already started. The training started with your choosing.You will have to find your way. And your training will come soon. First, I want you to think about your past and what you have accomplished. And you will learn well enough." Dri answered."Your time will come when you will have a personal training from me."
