Wolf Riders

Candidates

              "Come quickly we are in Bear Rider Territory." High Master Florian told him pulling himself into Rain Runner's saddle. "Come on." He held out his hand and pulled Jacob up behind him. Rain Runner sprang forward. "If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and Rain Runner?" Jacob asked.
"I'm two thousand and Rain Runner is two thousand." High Master Florian told him.
Holy cow! The wolf which he had expected to be bumper then a horse was even smoother at a gallop. They passed out of Bear Rider territory and Rain Rider slowed down. "Were coming to Wolf Mountain which is what we call are town." Master Florian told him. The trees gave way to a huge clearing, were houses, shops, a giant building in the center, people and wolves, people training with swords, kids running around,l.
    "Come quickly your mother is waiting." High Master Florian told him getting of Rain Runner. Jacob followed him.
       "My mom is dead." Jacob said puzzled.
     "Your mom faked her death. She is now known High Mistress Kathryn, her wolf's name is Cloud Springer." High Master Florian told him. Jacob followed him into a big tent. A tall older lady with long brown hair pulled back in a braid with light blue eyes smiled as Jacob followed High Master Florian. "Jacob!" His MOTHER smiled and hugged him. "Your alive!" Jacob said still surprised.
"Of course, did High Master Florian tell you I faked my death so I could live here!" She said smiling. High Master Florian left.
"Why? Why'd you live to live here?" Jacob asked.
"Because I couldn't ride Cloud Springer, I could see my first love, High Master Leafpool, who I married since I got a divorce from your father." His mom told him.
"Mom why didn't you tell me?" Jacob asked.
"Because you weren't ready, your still not ready, but I found out the High Master Dragosh of the Bear Riders was after you so I sent High Master Florian who is the only one capable to open and close portals." His mom replied.
"Well what now, do I go back to Earth and act like this never happened, like your still dead?" Jacob asked.
    "No you'll become a candidate for a wolf rider." His mom told him. "Come on I'll introduce you to the other candidates." His mom told him. There was three other candidates. One boy tall, fit, black haired, and green eyed was wearing a black shirt, gray pants, black boots, and a gray cape. The next a girl that was shorter then the first, brown haired and blue eyed wearing a blue dress and. Brown boots. The last taller and larger then the last two and had brown haired and gray eyed and dark skinned wearing a gray shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
    "Jacob I'd like you to meet, candidate Creek," she point to the black haired one. "Candidate Mare." She said pointed to the girl. "And candidate Williams." His mom pointed to the giant. "Candidates this is my son Jacob, I want you to take him to the wolf cave." She told them.
"Yes High Mistress." Replied Creek.
  "Well Jacob I'll be in my tent." His mom told him smiling.
   "Come on its this way." Creek told him walking towards a big cave. Once instead wolves ran to the young candidates. A huge one even bigger then Williams wolf walked over to Creek. "Hello, Fire Tooth." Creek said running his fingers through the wolves thick black fur. The wolf like Creek had the same color of fur as Creek's hair and had the same color of eyes. "Red Rock, I thought you weren't the runt of the liter, Fire Tooth was!" Williams scowled at his wolf that was gray with gray eyes.
"Sheba!" Mare threw her arms around a good sized wolf with red fur and blue eyes. (Remember these wolves are as big as horses or bigger). "What now?" Jacob asked.
"You wait for the wolf to choose you." Creek told him smiling. Suddenly a huge wolf almost as big as Williams wolf walked over by him. It had shinny silver hair and deep blue eyes. A thought was sent into his mind, "My name is Winter Storm, and you are?" Asked the voice, Jacob realized that it was the wolf.
"My name is Jacob South." He told the wolf. The wolf moved closer allowing Jacob to stroke its soft fur. "I see Winter Storm has chosen you." Said Creek. "Williams and I will help you pick out a saddle." Creek told him. He followed Creek and Williams to a saddle room. Jacob still had a hand on the beautiful wolf that had chosen him. He walked with them to a room filled with saddles, they walked to a saddle that was a gray and had dark black stripes. "This is Winter Storm's saddle." Creek told him.
"I'm going on a ride on Fire Tooth if you want to join me?" Creek told him.
"Okay." Jacob replied with a thin smile. Creek smiled back as his huge wolf followed him and he walked over to a black saddle with on gray stripe. He showed Jacob how to put the saddle on the wolf and control it. "Well we're ready to go." Creek smiled.
