Moonspear few experiences, what you really are

Ciri explained that she had been born on a mountain as well, and Sialuk looked at her curiously. Before she could ask the follow up question that was scratching at the back of her mind, Norah had already done so.

But there was something else that Norah had said, and Sialuk felt compelled to correct her on it.

Being afraid to fall is why I haven't fallen, she said with a small smile. Her mother and father had taught her long ago that fear was part of what kept her alive. One needed to be afraid of the right things in order to stay safe.

Sialuk knew that, up here, there was little chance of falling. Perhaps if something came out and attacked her, but Norah was here and, considering she was a wolf of Moonspear, would protect her from such harm. At least, that was what Sialuk imagined. Weren't all wolves of Moonspear supposed to protect the children?
