WOLFE
All the festivities in Yurka are done, save for the Viewing, when people gather to watch the Fire Scales take to the skies.
The Champions won’t be in Yurka for that.
No, they’ll be high in the Alps hunting ruby-scaled beasts.
Wolfe stands small among the gathering of Champions who gaze up at the Summer Alps. He thinks the mountains in Arly are prettier, dressed year-round in velvet capes of white snow.
The Summer Alps are tall, but they’re drab, wearing moss and pine. Wolfe thinks there are too many of them, and they’re too shoved together, like a lot of crooked teeth. He won’t return to the Summer Alps after he’s slain his Fire Scale. No, he’ll have his portrait done for a new Histories, and if ever he's feeling restless again, he’ll just read his page.
Wolfe is shinin
