+ 586 Returning as Chief, Darkflame sees that not everyone blames him for his past destruction, and it helps to Heal his soul. He begins a happy new life, and soon notices that his son, Flamelaugh, shows signs of a very powerful fire magic.
+ 593 A band of wanderers arrives at the Holt, including the eight-turn old female, Chrysantheum and the ten-turn old, rather taciturn boy-cub, Shiiro. Chrysanthemum and Flamelaugh, who is the same age as the girl-cub, become fast frends, to the anger and jealousy of Shiiro.

+ 641 An elfess named Greenjingle dances her way into the heart of the young, 15-turn old Chief-in-training, Firewind. She is 14, and a gypsy elf if ever there was one. She becomes Firewind's first lovemate.
+643 17-turn old Greenjingle lovemates a dark and mysterious elf named Hirlyn, a tall wanderer. When she does this, however, she breaks her other lovemate, 18-turn old Firewind's, heart. He runs deep into the forest...where his eyes meet the silver ones of a youn elfess named Yia in Recognition. She is 16, with silver hair and eyes, and an insatiable curiousity. They lifemate, and he no longer cares what becmes of Greenjingle, who lovemates several others, and Recognized Hirlyn.
+ 645 Hirlyn and Greenjingle have a cubling named Hope always Falls, called Hopefalls for short. She has wispy hair and curious eyes. Firewind becomes Chief at his father's death, on the day that Yia and his cub is born- a boy named Rushflame.
+ 655 T age ten turns, Rushflame is forced to become Chief due to unfortunate circumstances. His silver-haired mother was killed by humans for sacrifice, and Firewind, furious and crazed, charged itno the human camp-alone. He died quickly, being outnumbered and frenzied with grief. Rushflame matures quickly, and soon everyone respects his decisions.
+955 Chief Rushflame is 310 turns old before he finds a mate. Then he finds two. Eileia, a silver-haired beauty, much like his mother, and her cousin Trilla, a red-haired hutnress, become his mates-Eileia due to Recognition, Trilla from love and attraction.

However, solace is found in Hopefalls, a cubhood friend the same age as him. She lifemates Rushflame and helps him raise his daughter.
+ 997 40 turns have passed, and Firedream is much like his mother. Slender, delicate-to the point of being 'pretty' even. In odd circumstances, Rushflame Recognizes again-to Hopefalls this time.
+ 999 Firetaint is born to Hopefalls and Rushflame. The boy cub is a strong, healthy cubling without the slightest hint of femininity about him.
+1207 At 250, Firedream, still a 'prettyboy' has fallen in love with his cubhood friend, Rivalheart. However, she seems infatuated by the younger, 208-turn Firetaint, a strong, masculine elf with defiantely male handsomeness. Firedream decides to challenge his brother-his magic against Firetaint's fighting prowess. Firedream wins, amazingly, but Rivalheart sees his win as unfair and runs to Firetaint. Firedream becomes Chief, but many refuse to lsiten to him, despite his being elder.(Yes, his parents are gone. No one is sure if they died or vanished.) One elfess comes to comfort him, Lithecharm. She is a dazzlingly pretty brunette elfess of unknown origin and a sweet temper...yet he loves Rivalheart.
+1267 At 310, Rivalheart and Firedream Recognize to his joy and her dismay. Firetaint, in a feverish anger, runs into the woods and is killed in his carelessness by a wild boar. He was 268.
