It was still snowing and cloudy in the city of Halas in the evening. A young and slim woman wrapped in a large cloak landed on the barbarian harbour from the raft The Gwenavyne , the only way to the outside world. Apparently foreigner in this cold country, she came near a vendor who was about to close his stall.
- Excuse me, sir, could you show me the way to the church of the Tribunal?
The vendor glowered her dubiously, then went back to his work.
- What kind of elf would like to mess with the Tribunal? Said the vendor.
And the woman to whisper:
- Perhaps could they help me to find...the amazon wolve.
---
Silence.
Not even a breathing.
All is white.
Cold.
Alone.
Is it already the end?...
---
- The Tribunal allows you to speak, please introduce yourself, enunciated loudly Margryn Macguire.
From her impressive stature, the Chief of the Shaman guild considered the foreigner indifferently. Compared to her, she seemed feeble and diminutive, her skin was white as snow, like the High Elf. Inversely, her face was harmonious and calm was showing a strong willpower. She kneeled before her in humility and reverence.
- You are not from our country. You do not even seems to be from the verdant country of Faydwer, even if you have the seeming of these people.
- The true sight of the high Shaman cannot be fooled, said the young woman in a smile. Unfortunately I cannot reveal my identity that must remain secret until the end of my mission. All I can say is that I am not a spy from any clan, or guild. I came here by my own will. You can test me with your magic if you do not trust me.
There was a long silence. One of the Margryn's advisor asked:
- Perhaps we should proceed as she say, we must be sure that she is not a spy.
Margryn rejected his offer.
- It is ok, I trust her. And I can also guess why she make this long travel to meet us. Tell us your request young one.
The woman took an amulet from her bag, and showed it to everybody near her.
- I request the assistance of the Tribunal in order to find the owner of this item. This item is called the Symbol of the Tribunal and would have never been detached from his owner, it is a sacred reward given by the Shaman guild for the faith and loyalty. If someone can give me some informations where I can find her, let met know. I am seeking for the amazon wolve. I am seeking for Dahna Siteris Tanja Roh.
---
I am so tired.
Why am I keeping up? It is an endless quest with no meaning.
I don't have enough strengh to stand up again.
I don't have enough strengh to seek again.
If I could remember...
---
- I must thank you for all the informations you provided to me. I will try to have good use of them.
The mysterious woman was about to leave the chuch, when Margryn called her.
- Please wait.
Their glances crossed. The face of the high shaman showed some sadness.
- When you will find her, please tell her that we are proud of her. She will be always welcome within us.
They smiled.
- I will. A wolf never forget his family.
And she was gone.
- Was it reasonnable to give her all these informations? asked one of the Margryn advisor. And what if she lied to us? Wasnt it our task to retrieve the Shaman Dahna?
- I do not think so, replyied Margryn. Dahna and her have the same reflection in their eye. The same power. There should be a link between them, a link more powerfull than the bloodline or the guild...

I remember now.
I was seeking for the one who saved my life in the Kithicor Forest. The one who was always by my sidein my childhood. My brother.
I crossed all the continent, I walked on all the road looking for any sign of him.
Finally, I landed on the frozen world of Velious.
Somewhere in these dangerous plains, there was the Tower of Knownledge, the Tower of the Frozen Shadows.
It was said that all the answers were lying there. All of them.
And there, I finally found my answer. So afflicting. So painful. The truth...
