Chapter 3
The first trial
I woke that morning in Leetah's hut poor thing couldn't sleep. I felt sorry for her and stayed the night with her. But now I am sitting besides her watching the first challenge being prepared.
"You could stop this, you know that right?" I asked her, I knew she knew his soul name
"I just can't chose." Leetah whispered back to me, "I feel...I feel so used right now."
I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Yes I knew she was lying through her teeth, but I still felt sorry for her. I wrapped an arm around her, "Just don't try and lie to me Leetah, I know the truth." I told her
Leetah's eyes widened, "You---"
I nodded, "I know you know, and I don't like it one bit. But sometimes it's hard to just accept it." I hugged her closer; "I'll stay by you through this."
"Thank you!" Leetah breathed and leaned into me. I had turned into her protector; I didn't mean it to happen. It just did, and I couldn't have stopped it if I wanted to.
'She's still undecided?' Savah's mind invaded mine
'Yes' I sent back to the mother of memory
'Poor thing' Savah sighed
'Savah?'
'Yes little charmed one?'
'I don't want to seem greedy now, but have you found out what my power is?'
'Yes I have little wisher.'
'Wisher?' I turned my eyes to Savah
'Yes, a power even the high one's had to be gifted to obtain.'
'I don't understand.'
I heard Savah laugh at me before she answered, 'it is simple. A Wisher can make anything they wanted come out of thin air, but a costs.'
I gulped, 'and what are the costs?'
'You have to make your wishes under the two moons, now mind this information about how you make you wishes should be protected as a soul name should be, maybe even more for if this information fall into the wrong hands they could kill you.'
'How could they kill me?' I was starting to worry this power my be my down fall in ElfQuest
'You need to make wishes in order to live; this power is apart of you. The other costs are that you my not have a lovemate or lifemate outside Recognition, and you will be a seductress to all. But heed my warning, they may not touch you with out you saying so, for it will be bad luck if they did' Savah finished and I was thankful.
At this point of time I hated my wishing power. Little did I know what I would become with it. But that is to come in dear time, now I watched as my guessed brother and Rayek fought for my friend as a lifemate.
"Bead rattler!" Cutter started the name game as they fought in a hand lock.
"Bone Polisher!" Rayek shot back
"Snake!"
"Dog!"
Than it was over. Cutter swung all his might and pushed Rayek off the two beams.
"HA HAH! What did I tell you?! He's old Bearclaw's son, sure as birds fly!" Treestump shouted in joy, and I smiled at the only Wolfrider who knew my whole story. From human to dreams, Treestump knew it all.
"And Rayek's chewing nettles now, sure as snakes crawl!' Skywise add and I couldn't help but to go over and hug Cutter, he had won
"She knows your name, -"'TAM' I whispered into his ear and sent to him. Than I returned to my sitting place by Leetah, who was shocked at the turn out of this round
"No! Nightlily, how did that happen?" Leetah whispered to me when I sat back down
"Don't underestimate a Wolfrider my friend. They are very powerful elves all their own." I smiled at her
"You're a Wolfrider." Leetah pointed out at me
"Not until the pack accepts Crescent, now only Starjumper pays her any heed." I told her, "I wont be a full Wolfrider until all the tribe and their wolves accept me and Crescent." Leetah said nothing and just turned her attention back to the task at hand, as did I.
