As the day grew late, Stalks decided to use his ritual to make sure things were clear. "I want to make sure you are understanding everything I am saying and not just repeating sounds. You seem to be understanding so far, but do you have any questions? Also do not fear my touch, it is only to make thins more clear and is not meant to be anything other then an educational tool." He handed the girl a bit of cooked meat so she could taste it.

"Flint and steel." he says to her, explaining they are used to start fires and the how the process works. He explains why he cooks the meat and offers Fire Born some to try. "There are many ways to experience things in life which may seem strange to you. Some will be good and some will be bad. You never know until you try for yourself though. I encourage you to try different things to expand your experiences."

"I have cooked my own meat before I dont have the stomach like a wolf does all the time. and In the cold season when the fish are hiding under the cold, it keeps me warm. The ones gave them to me a long time ago. " she struck them again to make a spark then put them away. She tried to say their name s in his language, "fllll-eenn-t, sstt-aeel" then she tilted her head at him.

Tilting his head a bit like a wolf does when it is confused or curious, Stalks watches Fire Born put away her flint and steel. She tries to pronounce the words and looks to him expectantly. He contemplates her for a few moments then say "The ones...gave them to you? Who are 'the ones'?"

"The Male and Female of the pack who found me. They taught me to be wolf, to survive and when I could not do like family does, they showed me other ways" she pulled out the dagger, it was a simple blade and handle, the pommel had a deep set red ruby on the end that was caked with years of dirt around the edges. "my Fang and claws."

"The male and female, were they like you or the others in the pack? Or were they like me?" he asked. He knew wolves were smart but they didn't have any use for flint and steel.
The wind began to pick up and rain began to fall. Stalks shifted into his near human form, Glabro, to give himself more insulation against the cold. "we should find some shelter for you."

she looked confused, "Why?" she asked and looked up into the rain. "Its just water, and the ones were like the others Like little brother here." she looked to Blind Steer and nudges him, " we are larger in size and smarter then our Cousins on the other side of the mountains." He said and stretched. "Yes. The ones that tough me they say the same things."

Stalks smiled showing his enlarged canines "I'm sorry, I should not assume that you have the same frailties as normal humans. It is clear you have survived the wilderness for years. It makes me wonder if you might be a garou and not know it." His pointed ears twitched a bit as the rain fell all around them.

"what is Garou?" she asked leaning back against Blind Steer who huffed at her, she shoved him in the ribs and laughed. "Little sister, you know better then to start something that you cant finish." he barked at her.

Realizing that he never fully explained what he was to her Stalks nods and says "Ah yes. I am Garou. Garou are werewolves. Werewolves are shapeshifters that can turn from human to wolf, and many forms between. We are defenders of Mother Gaia. The world is under attack by the forces of order and corruption. The world must remain balanced or it will be destroyed. We are the warriors who defend that balance by fighting against the Weaver and the Wyrm. The Weaver is the spiritual embodiment of order, while the Wyrm is the embodiment of corruption. There is so much more I can explain that it would take weeks for me to teach you. First we should concentrate on you learning how to speak to me without this ritual."

she nods, after several days of teaching from the Male and hunting and playing with Blind Steer she had enough of a concept of the language to hold small, rough conversations she was still learning and slowly Stalks Alone stopped using the herbs to talk to her as a wolf. Two full weeks after the Male had showed up she asked him, " Why you here for? Why come?"

After days and days of teaching this wild girl how to speak Stalks still had not learned much about her background. He was patient, but it was starting to get thin. He wanted to know if she was an unchanged garou or something else. "I am a traveler and messenger. My duty is to move from Cairn to Cairn and bring them news of the battle for Gaia. My name is Stalks Alone because I rarely travel with companions. It has been very nice to spend this time with you and Blind Steer. It gets lonely and it is nice to be able to spend some time with someone. Can you tell me how you came to be among your pack? What are your earliest memories?"

she walks around a tree looking up the branches and thinking, "Fire. smoke. Trees. " she gave a look of frustration that he had seen often the past two weeks, she was thinking of a way to explain a word that she had not learned yet. "not know word." she told him. "loud noise..." and she tapped her mouth, then she howls loudly. Jumping up into a low hanging branch from a pine tree she lounges back and looks at him.

He thinks about her words for a few minutes. Pacing back and forth he he stops and looks up at her in the tree. "I think the word you are looking for is scream? So there was a fire in the woods and someone screaming? Was it you who was screaming or someone else?"

He reaches out a hand to try and comfort her. "I am sorry if I brought up unhappy memories. I am interested in your past to try and understand you better. If I understand you better I can teach you better."

she softly growls at his hand and takes a step back, "No need talk ppaa-st." She says, a sound of tussling comes from the bushes and out falls two young Pups followed by Blind Steer. "Sister How goes your lessons?" he asks her and she grumbles a response "He wants more words from me then I know. This is to annoying." she flops to her butt as the two pups play around her she barks sharply at them and they stop abruptly, "Watch yourself Whiner. Prickers" She nodded her head to a bush next to the two. "I will not help you get them out again." She turns to the Male, "Pups play painful bush bad." to explain what she had said to them.
