Chapter 2
When Frost Claw and Dock Claw came from the hunt, there was a great uproar in the camp. Dockside claw stopped to look at this from a distance, but Frostclaw ran straight to the elders' den to bring her brother the captured prey. Curvilinear was a little off the beaten track. When Frost Claw came up to her, the she-wolf rose with the kink in her tail and looked at the white woman with joy. > You really shouldn't have hunted for me. What's the matter with you? You live up to your name. With a frosty claw you tear our good mood as it suits you! If that's just what you're getting, I don't understand how you can even notice anything! This morning our patrol was attacked by these bloody bloodsuckers, the patrol in which your son Black Tail was also there! Is it that bad? I wish I was more of a help, but I'm probably getting old as a cripple ... I caught it for you. I hope you like the rabbit. I guess I'd better have a look at what's going on up there. All wolves old enough to catch their prey themselves may gather here under the tree stump for a clan meeting! You have probably already noticed what happened this morning. The bloodsuckers are getting closer and closer to our territory, they disregard the borders, hunt people on our land and attack us! We will step up border patrols. But we have no chance when we are so few! We need new warriors and students as soon as possible. I think Hawk Eye's student is ready to become a warrior! She's not ready. Just as little are Firepaw and Stormpaw. Don't worry about our student black tail, you better worry about your pups. Do you doubt my judgment? Black tail me ... Let me put it this way ... Hawk Eye, Black Scheif. You are both excellent warriors and you both should know that this argument does not bring us anything. The students have a few more moons and until then they will train every little minute to make them great warriors, understand? What is it? I will probably have to take over Langpelz's post now until he is healthy again. At least Goldstern told me. So now I'll assign you to the morning border patrols. She will leave in the early hours of the morning. Don't be late!
