Before I was Nightwolf, I was a fool named Grey Cloud.
|
Born into poverty, I resented my ancestors for giving up our future to colonizers...
|
Kano offered a way out, promising riches if I stole my tribe's most sacred relics.
|
I was sorely tempted, but then I realized by saving myself, I'd be surrendering the last of my people's dignity.
|
For the first time, I defended the Matoka's pride.
|
Kano was unimpressed.
|
But as I lay dying, the Great Spirit came to me.
|
By rejecting Kano, I had proven worthy of an ancient honor. The mantle of Nightwolf... legendary defender of the Matoka.
|
Now, as I inherit Kronika's mantle, the way before me is split.
|
The Keeper of Time cannot also be my tribe's defender. Which path do I choose?
|
Even here, at time's beginning, the Great Spirit's wisdom guides me. She calls me to restore history.
|
The Matoka, I must leave to another.
|
To the next Nightwolf. Like all our sacred relics, the Nightwolf mantle belongs to the tribe.
|
Any Matokan can prove worthy of its power.
|
I enjoy imagining who will defend us next.
