As Wolfspirit got up and did these things, the tribe merely watched and waited. After he returned with the hunt, Silvermane looks back at his tribe and grins. He then says, "Wolfspirit, you are a guest here. You do not need to hunt for us. We have many capable hunters. If you are trying to prove yourself, stop right now. To do that, takes time. We will be watching you now that we know that you have what it takes to be one of us. You will need to show that you can live as we do. Live as if you are already one of us. Then we may let you into the pack." He gestures toward a side crevice inside the main cave. "This will take you back to your horse. You need to move quickly if you are to avoid the undead of the 4. They are most dangerous. Remember that we will always be watching. May the moon shelter you always." With that Silvermane clasps Wolfspirit on the shoulder and then walks to the back of the cave to lie down.

wolfspirit makes his way back to the cave using the back road along the way he removes a few undead so none can follow him he makes sure he isn't being followed he covers his tracks makes circles zig zags mis leading direction a trip that takes 2 hours takes him doing that 4 hours he is carrying a very large amount of food as he comes up the back way into the cave he looks for sliver mane and hands him the food he also has water skins and some wood for the fire and other items he hopes this will help feed the clan for a few days he ask if any of them can use weapons and ask if not if he can help train them he waits till sliver mane ask him to sit he still isn't a pack member so he wait till he is ask to sit and when the food is cooked he gives all and takes a little for him self he ask sliver mane if there is more they need him to do to help out the pack and he makes the idea to sliver he might have another person that wants to have a pack but he will watch that person wolfspirit later that night asks if sliver mane wants to come to town with him and try to resupply them with his help

Silvermane just watches as Wolfspirit does all of these things. He has a wry little grin on his face. When Wolfspirit settles down he says, " We thank you for the food. Such is always welcome but we are all hunters here. You will insult us if you continue to 'provide' for us. You are always welcome as a guest. Though I will tell you now that we can smell brood taint upon you. I must ask that you stay away from here until you have dealt with it. As for any others that might want to join. They must find their own path, as you did. Our supplies are quite fine for now. There are many secondary caverns that house food and supplies, we even have our own workshops. So as you can see, we really are self sufficient and won't need your charity. You are a guest and don't need to inconvenience yourself." With that, Silvermane allows the infested barbarian to stay as long as he needs but the pack is ever vigilant while he remains.

From all accounts, the pack seems to be doing well. They are well fed and provisioned. Silvermane notices the watcher and nods in that direction, as if sensing the intent of Wolfspirit, and signaling that all is indeed well.

Wolfspirit can see that Silvermane's back is to him. Some of the other pack members begin to notice the barbarian's entrance and this brings Silvermane's attention. He looks over his shoulder at the man who has approached in the manner of a supplicant, studies him up and down, and turns back to his pack. He whispers something to them and they travel deeper into the cave. Silvermane then turns to face Wolfspirit. There is a long pause as the two stand looking at each other. Then the rest of the pack returns. Silvermane remains standing there, staring at Wolfspirit while the pack builds a large fire and prepare other supplies. After the pack finishes the preparations, they form a circle around the two men who now face each other across a large fire. Silvermane then begins to say in a very official tone, "Who is this creature that comes before this pack? What does it seek? What value does it bring with it? " He waits for a response to each of these questions and the rest of the pack watches from the circle.

Silvermane quirks an eyebrow as he regards Wolfspirit. He says, "Do you wish to learn our ways? Do you seek to live as one of us? Will you learn to embrace the beast within?"
The fire can be seen reflecting from the eyes of the pack members that encircle it. Their eyes have all become an eerie golden color.

Silvermane gazes upon this barbarian before him, gaging his merits of his soul. Finally he reaches down for a bundle at his feet. He picks it up and begins to slowly unwrap it. As he unwraps the package he says to Wolfspirit, "A beast does not wear clothing or armor. You do. Remove these things if you wish to approach me as the beast you claim to be. "
After saying this, Silvermane has finished unwrapping the bundle. It appears to be a brand like is used on cattle. Only, this doesn't look like steel or iron. It glints in the firelight like only silver can. The handle appears to be made of bone. Silvermane holds it by his side, awaiting the barbarians response.

As Wolfspirit approaches Silvermane, the clouds begin to part, revealing a full moon. As the barbarian kneels in front of the elder, he is bathed in the pale light and can feel the hairs all over his body tingle. Silvermane seems to have been expecting this as he simply waits for the inevitable reaction to be completed. He doesn't move or react to the moonlight in any way, he just stares at the barbarian and waits.

as the light bath him covering him making the hair on his body tingle the light feels warm and a comfort feeling washes over him as, wolfspirit lets the beast within him come out the sounds of bones snapping and crunching, to make new ones of larger sizes moving around inside of him, they can clearly be heard and seen under his skin some looking like they are about to rip through his skin, the feet the bones make a crunch sounds as they grow larger, watching the knee snap and reset moving higher up the leg as his legs grow in size. His chest the rib cage breaking resetting and breaking again as it grows in size the muscles riping and growing larger in his chest over and over again, the organs moving around inside a heart can be seen pressed against the skin and still beating, looking like its about to push through the chest, his hand all the joints snap move and reset and snap again as the grow longer his finger nails getting torn off as the claws forcefully push there way through bits of flesh get pushed out of the holes from where the old finger nails were, his arms growing in mass and a few moments later the breaking and reseting. His neck stretching in a most painfully way as the cords break and grow and reset as the muscles in his neck grow bigger the skin on the neck stretching till it looks like it going to rip off but new one grows in into its place his face the pain and anguish of the transform as the bones in his face all at once break and reform as some move around to grow out an mouth like that of a wolf his nose broken and moved then reshapes into a new nose, his teeth forced out of his mouth as new ones force there way in out and new one growing back in in there place the hair coming out all over his body like thousands of needles pushing through his skin from the inside out some of his skin rips off his body painfully and falls to the ground to make room for stronger more resilient flesh a few puddles of blood under him can be clearly seen he controls it the best he can so he doesn't run around in the agony of the pain of the transform he try to keeps to his knee wolfspirit knees there panting out of breath for a moment as his new lungs fill with air he then feels better and stops panting as a new energy surges through his body he looks around at all the skin and blood and hair around him he then looks at everyone else he appearance is of a 7 ft tall monster half man half wolf face extended out almost a half foot from his face his muscle in his powerful legs can be seen as he moves the muscles contract and relax, his hands as he opens them have claws that still have bits of flesh hanging from them elongated fingers large hands with hair on top of them, as he breath his chest muscles expand and contract looking like the chest of a weight lifter,his skin darker in color blending in with the darkness and shadows around the area, fur covering all of his body. As he moves flesh still falls from him then looks up to slivermane.

As the barbarian endures the change, the others watch with barely contained excitement. Silvermane looks upon the new creature that stands before him, studying him intently, before finally saying, "The beast rides you well cub. To be a member of this pack, you must wear it's mark upon you. This mark will rest over your heart and remind you that the pack is always close. Also remember that the pack comes first. No other concern can equal the needs of your pack."
With that said, he takes the silver brand and presses it against the monsters' chest. Right above the heart. There is a terrible hissing sound as the hair and flesh is burned by the cool metal. The pain is like no other ever felt before and sends a wave of weakness and anger through the monsters' body. Silvermane backs away after he is done and wraps the brand carefully in the fabric he retrieved it from.
He then says, "Welcome to the pack. We are called the Mountain Guardians in your tongue. With time you shall learn ours. To the world of men, you are known as 'Wolfspirit'. Amongst us, you shall be called 'Strength of Granite'. This will be your secret name, known only to us. Stand, Strength of Granite, and join your pack in it's hunt!"
It is then that the new member realizes that Silvermane is the only one who hasn't taken the beast form. They all begin to howl and prance around in joy. Silvermane takes the brand and other items back into the cave. A moment passes before a gray furred beast comes bounding out of the cave. It howls a long and piercing howl into the night and is echoed by the others. They then bound off into the dark mountain valley below. The hunt has begun!
