CHAPTER 2 The Cave of Purity
The blue lines made many strange designs, then the rock parted to reveal not a crevice but a cavern with a large boulder in the middle of a pool of water.
The water seemed to consist of liquid diamonds as it sparkled illuminating the entire cavern with a warm light.
We quickly rushed into the beckoning warmth of the cavern and were greeted by a blue-grey wolf.
He looked so wise and fierce. He bore scars that told of many battles. In his eyes I could see a vast ocean of wisdom. Of the power to protect some and the pain of killing others.
The wolf looked at us, raised his head, and let forth a howl filled with power. The entrance to the cave sealed itself without any trace it had been there.
I was terrified that whe had irritated this wolf and he was going to punish us for it.
"We apologize for irratating you. We just wanted to get warm." I stuttered, "I felt heat coming from the wall and thought there was a crevice behind it that we could huddle in. But we will leave if if you wish."
"Do not be afraid Landus, nor you Sky. I am not angry at all. Welcome to the Cave of Purity.", the wolf said his tone was very deep but also very caring, "The very fact that you were not considerably weakened upon entering proves you are pure of heart. Seafang you do not know it yet, but you have very special powers. I will teach you how to harness those powers."
"How do you know our names wise one?" Sky asked.
"You do not need to call me that Sky." replied the wolf. "Call me by my name instead."
Like me she was puzzled. We had never met this wolf before, so we had no idea what his name was. But before we could tell him this Seafang asked,
"Is that you Frostfang?"
