after the pups birth Aurora, Kuno, and Valeria celebrated their first birthday with the pack celebrating together. That night Sakari appeared before them.

  “I have come as messenger, I will escort each of you to a cave there you will state your choice in front of the High Council. Aniou as their mother you do not have to attend….they understand…. ”

  “I will trust my cubs to your paws, I need to stay here” Aniou replied.

“Valeria you are to go first, come” Sakari replied.

“Valeria you choose what is best for you” whispered Kar. “I will always be proud of you.”

 “I know Daddy” Valeria replied walking away.

       Sakari led Valeria to a cave high in the mountains, a cave that was covered with pictures of animals and had a crystal rock formation at its centre. Walking in each spirit greeted her warmly the room was bathed in an orangey pink light.

“Greetings Valeria daughter of Aniou” said Bald Eagle spirit. “It is time for you to choose which kind you wish to became.”

“I know.”

“You do, now please tell us of your choice.”

“I wish to become a spirit, to use the Sight to guise others along their paths.”

“In that case welcome Valeria” Bald Eagle spirit replied as the she wolf glowed bright silver.

 “You are now immortal and will grow as a spirit.”

      Walking out of the cave Valeria was met by Qilaq who had also just made her choice, a choice which was the same as Valeria’s. Together the pair made their way down to their parents, passing Kuno and Sakari on their way. Reaching their families the pair told them of their choice.

  “Well I saw this coming, I knew you would make the same choice” Qilaq’s mother said.

 “You will be an incredible team” Aniou replied.

“I am happy for you both” Kar said nuzzling his daughter.

“You both will change so many lives” Aurora said as Kuno walked down. “Kuno you are back already.”

“Yeh well I didn’t need to stay long, I’m a normal mortal wolf.”

“Good for you.”

“Aurora come” Sakari said.

“Coming.”

“Do what will make you happy” Aniou whispered as Aurora left.

     Walking up to the cave Aurora walked inside greeting each of the spirits as they spoke to her.

 “Come Aurora tell us of your choice” said the Bald Eagle flapping his wings.

“I have chosen to become a spirit my path is not that of a mortal wolf.”

“Then welcome to our world Aurora” said the Polar Bear spirit as Aurora glowed bright blue.

  Walking down out of the cave Aurora saw her world differently than before, she saw the world as her mother saw it. Reaching her parents she saw the looks of uncertainty in their eyes.

  “I am a spirit now” Aurora said walking up to them.

“I am happy for you daughter” Kar said nuzzling her.

“This is fantastic we can work together” Valeria said bounding up to her.

“You are happy I am glad” said Aniou smiling.

 “You were always going to go down this path” Kuno said looking at his sister. “I knew right from the beginning.”

      Sitting together that night Aniou, Fell and Kar discussed the cub’s choices, and how their lives differed. Looking over to where the three cubs sat the adults smiled as they saw themselves in the three.

  “They are happy, Kuno will be a pack wolf, Valeria and Aurora will change the world with you sister” Fell said.

  “With the other spirits we will and we will always protect this pack” Aniou replied. “That I promise you, as long as your heirs lead.”

       Years later Aniou would remember her brother’s words and her promise, a promise which she would keep. As the years passed Aniou, Valeria and Aurora watched the pack, with the story of Fell, Starlight, Kar and Aniou slowly turning into myth. But the power of Sight was a lasting legacy of Fell, a power which would surface every generation or so, sometimes skipping but always returning. Aniou’s legend grew her story being passed down from parents to cub, a story which also told among humans. Aurora was less visible but still stories existed, stories of a white wolf who appeared out of the Northern Lights, who appeared at a time of a greatest need. For Valeria her home was in the Arctic Circle and rarely did she leave it. In the arctic she became as well known, a wolf that was always seen with an arctic owl on her shoulder. A common story of Valeria was that she was a seer who lived in an ice cave and was seen more do out on the sea ice another was that she was mated with a polar bear. As centuries passed the legends of the white wolves passed through the forests of Alaska, stories which were often interlinked and confused with each other, the white wolves of the North.
