Silverlight Terrace Just One Wish

Sialuk felt her cheeks grow warm at Elentari's assumption that she was blessed. It was true that Kukutux had been a good mother and a good teacher, but she was mother and teacher to many. Sialuk merely had the honor of being in the right place at the right time. The raindrop only wished that anaa's knowledge could spread to others. It would be good for many wolves if more healers roamed the wilds.

Yes! Anaa—Kukutux—takes on many pupils. She is patient and willing. Sialuk did not see her mother turning down Elentari if she wished to learn such things. They continued onward, and Sialuk noted the subtle change of the dark girl's proximity. The raindrop thought again of what she had said to Chakliux, and she grinned. Perhaps it would be nice to have a wife.

Anaa lives in a ring of mountains—village Moonglow, but I—Sialuk stopped suddenly, thinking this was the place. Ah, this is it! She began to dig into the snow, her paws flinging it backward until she reached the green that lay beneath. She pulled it from the earth; it had been frozen with the first snowfall.
