Legendary/Two

Legendary.

What would you do if you won?

Would you brag?

That's what I would probably do.

I'd tell Kayla first, though.

She's the most compassionate and optimistic cat I've ever met.

But I think I'd be proud, too.

Wouldn't you?

Because some families in WolfClan don't want some of the cats becoming Legendaries.

They go off to explore.

And to war.

And, well...

... some of them never come back.

But I'll always come back.

I'll be remembered.

I'm going to be better than anyone else.

"Well, who won?" We meet our trainer, Silvia at the training den.

Dalia sighs unhappily.

"Tess did."

Silvia smiles at me.

A real, genuine smile.

"Good work, Tess. I always knew you had it in you."

She calls over Kayla - her assistant and future trainer - to go and tell the head Healer.

In WolfClan, the healers are considered the leaders, even though they are fourth in their caste system. That's because they have more knowledge than the rest of us, and because only the healers can speak to our ancestors.

Kayla winks at me before she leaves the den, and Silvia turns back to us.

"Okay, Dalia. That means that you'll be the next elite trainer. Tomorrow, report here at sunhigh to start your second set of training. You are dismissed." Silvia waves her tail.

"Okay, now for you, Tess. Since you are first in training, you will be the newest Legendary." Silvia turns to me and speaks with a new warmth I've never heard before.

I swell with pride.

After all, I'm going to be a Legendary.

I'm going to be just like my father.

And, the first she-cat in generations!

My mother almost made it - but my father beat her in the very last battle.

Just like how I beat Dalia a few hours ago.
