"Today!," calls Sky Deamon from the high rock. "My cubs will become part of the ranks of the almosts!" The wolves cheered. "Falcon Talons, come forward." Falcon Talons steps forwards. "Do you promise to protect your Pack, and learn the ways of the Qakaarti?" asks Soaring Eagle. "Yes," replies Falcon Talons. "I will teach you the ways of the Qakaarti." repies Sky Deamon. In the end, Soaring Eagle is chosen to teach Shadow Forest, Fading Mist is chosen to teach Lightning Spark, and Apple Leaf, the healer is chosen to teach Sweeping Wind, who cannot ever fight, as she has a twisted paw, and must become a healer. "I don't want to be a healer!" shouts Sweeping Wind at the end. "At least I have Star to talk to!" "Who's Star?" asks Soaring Eagle from behind her.

Star's ears prick nervously. She's hiding in a crevice in the Quartz Camp, because she wanted to see Sweeping Wind be made an "Almost". "Please Wind," she begs silently. "Don't give me away!" Then she thinks about what just happened. "Healer!" she snorts to herself. "Huh! Wind possesses the quality of a wolf worth much more than that! She doesn't deserve to be drunk on juniper berry wine, or to do nothing but look after sick or injured wolves! She can bewitch male wolves if she works hard! She could hunt!" Then her eyes widen. "She could hunt..." she realizes. "I could teach her! She would still learn to be a Healer, but I could teach her to hunt and survive with her twisted paw! She could be a real wolf, my trainee and best friend!" She feels her tail begin to wag ever so slightly, and then wagging more and more. "I'll make her the best wolf she can be! A wolf worthy of the Quakaarti pack! Worthy of her parents!" she vows. "And tomorrow, I'll offer to do this for her!" she smiles a mysterious wolf smile to herself, and then silently slips out of her hiding spot and out of the Quartz Camp.

"Um..." says Sweeping Wind. "Star is my..." "Friend," finishes Shadow Forest. "From the Xarinda Pack. We see her at meetings." Soaring Eagle looks skeptical. "Okay then," she replies, and walks away.
