Snow nodded as he said he too would like to just keep calling her by the nickname. He moved himself behind her and she leaned back into him, loving the warmth he gave off. She looked up at the stars as well "That's okay, just takes some adjustment after being covered in fur." She laughed. They sat there for a moment just enjoying the silence of the night until he spoke again.<br/><br/>Snow sat for a moment, thinking about how to word her next response "Well, I was in line to become the next High Priestess of our tribe. A prophet had told my parents that I was different and I would bring peace to the lands. They died when I was only a girl, leaving my on the care of another High Priestess, Johana." She began to recall. She let out a soft sigh as she closed her eyes, going back to that day...<br/><br/><em>Rowena was only a child when her parents were killed, no one knew what had been the culprit. The High Priestess, Johana, toom the young elf under her wing. She spent years training with Johana but it wasn't always so nice. Johana would keep her locked away and hidden from the world. Many of the rituals, snow learned on her own by sneaking around Johana. The older she got, the more she began to wonder if Johana really had her best interests. It was proven on the final day...<br/><br/>'I want to teach you a new ritual Rowena, I believe you're powerful enough to do it." Johana smiled with her thin lips pressed together tightly.<br/><br/>Rowena looked a little unsure but she gave a nod to her mentor "Of course." She agreed.<br/><br/>"Its easy... just stand here and..." Johana lead her to a spot in a clearing "Now hold this amulet and recite this..." she handed her the paper.<br/><br/>As Rowena followed her mentors instructions, there was a blast of white light and their Goddess appeared before them....</em><br/><br/><br/>"...so she tricked me. The ritual was one that was forbidden. I was young and naive..." she finished after her small story. She looked back towards him "The punishment was to live our lives as Direwolves until she saw fit." She added.
