Eljay's revelation surprised Wraen, because she had been under impression that Finley had always been an avid story-teller and had shared tales about her wild-youth with her kids on regular basis. Either her assumption had been wrong or her former co-leader's eldest son had been left out of this for whatever reason. The sad thing was that she too did not remember that many, mostly because, while she had been the leader of Firebirds, there had been less time to spend with the two golden elders. Now... she could not remember for the world, what that super-important busy stuff had been, but she knew she regretted not spending enough time to soak up more exciting Blackthorn stories from the legendary duo. That's, how life works for us all.

"To be honest, I don't recall much either. There was a tale, where she broke her leg on purpose. Along with her partner in crime - Colt," she said, but that was about the extent of her memory. As she got older, she too began to not remember everything. "But veering off the subject - my favourite story from my mom's life was, how she met my father," Wraen told. "Well, it is a long and winding story, but to sum it up - when she first met him, she was smitten and figured that she could get the guy, if she wanted to. And he did not suspect anything for a whole year, but they did become good packmates and friends. And then... rather than throwing around ambiguous hints, she asked him one day, if he wanted to get married, and he graciously accepted her proposal. 

That's, how I and my siblings came to be. My mom was of opinion that, if she had not been the bold one, Dante - my father - would have never taken the first step. Too much of a gentleman. Proud too. Lucky for him shamelesness runs in the Redleaf-DiSarinno lines and mom had no face to lose by just being straightforward and asking," she made it sound all so simple and not that romantic, but she knew that had not Osprey sensed that her intended husband-to-be liked her enough, she would have never stepped forward and would probably have set her eyes on someone else. "It is not the romantic fluff you usually hear in fairy-tales, but I often find that real life stories are so much more captivating. They make you believe that - hey - if that happened to him or her, it could happen to me too."
