Cinder

Training:
SpoilerSocialization:
During the lesson: Cinder spent all day learning about resolving conflicts. There is no wolf pack that would last long with its members snarling and growling all the time.
Effective Killing:
During the lesson: Sage dissected the prey gently in front of the class to show where the veins and spine are. Anatomy lessons can pay off when trying to deal fatal blows, and Cinder listened eagerly.
Working Together:
During the lesson: Sage had Heather and Cinder take turns leading each other down a path with their eyes closed. Teamwork comes from trust, and Heather and Cinder had to trust each other to work as a team!
Howling:
During the lesson: Cinder patiently practised using his voice and the strong will was clear in the young pup. The result was still far from an adult wolf but he was definitely not a beginner anymore!
Prey Tracking:
During the lesson: Austin rolled the toy in deceptive scents today - dung, dead fish and even an ant hill! Cinder had to focus really hard to separate multiple scents entangled together to find the toy.
Recognising Danger:
During the lesson: Austin made a test for Cinder, checking if he could recognize herbs presented during the first lessons. Being an herbalist is a huge responsibility when a mistake can cost someone's life.
Stalking:
During the lesson: Austin built a small obstacle course. Cinder was required to remain undetected and surprise a packmate resting at the end.

Cinder responds to your questions in a friendly manner, but it's clear that he enjoy his time alone.

When Cinder was an apprentice, a new young wolf joined his hunting group for Finisher training. He recognized him as Grizzly, a pup Lava had adopted before she became alpha.

He knew him from puppyhood, talking with him time and time again but never got close. Cinder was an independent wolf, you see, never seem to need anybody.

Grizzly start talking with him and even complimented him on his hunting skillls. Grizzly never seem to like him at first, finding him a bit arrogant. But eventually, the purplish pup starts to grow on him.

It seems obvious that Grizzly starting to develop a crush on Cinder and eventually he starts to catch feelings as well. Then Grizzly told him that he's going to leave to explore the world and the snowy wolf knew he was being serious.

It hurts Cinder, but he knew it was for the best. Cinder will always love Grizzly even though they were never fated to be together. And Cinder would never love another wolf like Grizzly, as he was his one and only.
