## Quotes

**Yaroslav:** *You’ll be there, won’t you?*

**Jenna:** *Of course. You’ll be amazing. Besides, you couldn’t possibly do worse than I did.*

**Goldie:** *You’re right. I don’t think anyone ever has. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but I received blessings from the gods during mine, and performed well in all supplementary skills.*

**Yaroslav:** *Okay…*

**Yaroslav:** *Hoyt? Why do Gill and Sully want to get rid of Jenna? Is it just because we’re friends?*

**Hoyt:** *On one paw, yes.*

**Yaroslav:** *What’s the other paw?*

**Hoyt:** *Jenna is not like us.*

**Yaroslav:** *What do you mean?*

**Hoyt:** *It’s hard to admit it, but… Avalon and I… we’re not her real parents. Sully knows that, since Avalon…*

**Yaroslav:** *What happened to her? If I may ask?*

**Hoyt:** *She’s blind, and she can’t have offspring.*

**Yaroslav:** *I’m sorry to hear that.*

**Hoyt:** *It’s okay. Despite everything, Avalon is happy to have raised Jenna as her daughter.*

**Yaroslav:** *Do you know what happened to Jenna’s real parents?*

**Hoyt:** *They died when Jenna was only a newborn. They were walking around the camp, confused. One of them was from a different tribe. Sully decided to kill them without warning. Shortly after, Avalon and I noticed a small brown furball hidden in the brush. It was the victims’ kitten. Sully wanted to kill her, too, because she didn’t have pure Firecat blood. I begged him not to kill Jenna. I even offered my powers in exchange. I managed to convince him, but that still didn’t change his will to get rid of her. As you can imagine, Jenna grew up thinking she was a pure Firecat. But she was never safe from the tribe, much less now. I beg you not to tell Jenna of her true past. Her soul would be crushed. Also, please take her into your tribe.*

**Yaroslav:** *I promise that I won’t say a word. My father would be thrilled to take her in. And you can join us too, Hoyt.*
