The Untouched Quest

Ep. 50. Wild Hunt part 0-3

It has been many years since the war in the Citadel and the return of the palace. Ember and her tribe are now hunting down and killing what's left of Winnowill's monsters. After Winnowills death and the monster battle at Howlingrock, there are still a lot of monsters wandering around. Among the humans, we can hear many different stories told about the elves, like stories from the citadel war, that they take your soul if you look them in the eyes and the old tale about the elves being demons.
A young boy has to face the redeemer, one of Winnowills monsters after looking Sust (Pike's son) in the eyes. The redeemer is one of Winnowills monsters and it is the elf's job to kill it before it can kill more innocent humans and elves. When attaching the redember from the cave entrance it is only a small portion of the monster that comes out to protect itself. It is time to find a different way into the monster cave. 
Pike and Yun think gathering some dream berries from the dream berry bushes inside a human courtyard is more important than killing the monster. While trying to gather some dreamberries Pike manages to get caught and imprisoned together with a human hag, will they both get faced with the redeemer? Ember and the rest of her tribe had to hurry to find another way into the monster cave. Turns out they already know someone who can help them dig a tunnel to get into the monster cave. Flem has become the queen of a new troll kingdom, will they help the elves?

Ep. 49. Hidden Years 28 & 29

The sacrifice of Teir did not go as the Wolfriders thought. None of the monsters was interested in him, they all went after Dewshine and her wolf. Dewshine barely made it back to safety at Howling Rock, and Teir was taken by the monster leader and Winnowill's mind powers. The monster leader is using Teirs powers against the Wolfriders and all the monsters are now attacking Howling Rock. There is no safe space for the Wolfriders, they are outnumbered and can't fight off all the monsters. The only way to save everyone is for Leetah to kill the monster leader. When the monster leader dies, all the other monsters surrounding Howling Rock die too. 
When Leetah killed the monster leader Teirs mind was still connected to him and Winnowill. His mind is badly injured because of this. He needs healing, but Leetah is exhausted from all the healing she has already done and she needs some rest, Teir has to wait, after all his life is not in danger. When Ember tries to send to Teir his mind is silent, like in death. An elf's mind is never silent like this as long as they are alive. When Teir wakes up, Ember gives him the most impossible ultimatum. He can choose not to be healed and get his mind and powers back, but be able to stay with the Wolfriders. Or Leetah can heal him, but then he has to leave. 
Suddenly the palace appears in front of Howling Rock, the war is won and they are all reunited. Teir disappears into the darkness after gifting Ember his necklace.

Ep. 48. Hidden Years 26 & 27

From the cliffhanger last episode we are jumping straight back into the fight with the monsters. Single-handed Skywise can kill off all the monsters surrounding them. But it turns out that he is the only one unharmed. Help is sought out and Leetah can heal them all, but where is Teir? No one has seen him in a while. Ember goes out alone to find him. Sadly Teir is not in his right mind, it seems he is possessed, Ember decides to invite him back to Howling Rock so Leetah can heal him. On their way back to Howling Rock, monsters attack them, and Ember is badly injured. 
Choplicker is sent to get Leetah for help, Ember is almost joining Skot and zhantee. When The healer arrives she is not happy to see her cub in the arms of Teir. He is pushed away, and Leetah heals Ember so they can ride back, but she won't believe that Teir saved Ember. Teir does not give up, he follows them back to Howling Rock. Safe and sound at Howling Rock Teir proves himself when he turns the monsters against each other, and the Wolfriders are finally approving of him.  Sadly this is short-lived. His mind is taken by Winnowill, to put him out of his agony Leetah puts him in a coma. And Teir is sacrificed to the monsters.

Ep. 47. Hidden Years 24 & 25

After a shared nightmare between Skywise and Timmain, Skywise shares his doubts about the new holt and the newcomer with Ember. He means Teir is like Winnowill and wants to get rid of him, but Ember disagrees. Ember struggles with what to do and needs some alone time to think, so Pike decides to share some of his special thinking dreamberries. The dreamberries lead Ember to have some dreamberry visions and she gets a pep talk from a previous chieftess, Skyfire. Skyfire teaches Ember about the way, and how it came to be when she became chief of the Wolfriders. Nightfall helps Ember out of her visions and tells her about the hard times her father has gone through, he is not as perfect as Ember thinks he is. 
Zhantees spirit is coming to say goodbye to Leetah, and the rest of the Wolfriders are ready to reunite with the others in war. Ember must remind the others that they split so at least someone could survive the war and continue the bloodline. Instead of joining the others in the war, Ember decides it is finally time to take the ride out Skywise has wanted to do for a while. Skywise, Pike, and Dewshine ride out to see what is surrounding Howling Rock. But they did not expect to find so many of Winnowills monsters. Suddenly they find themselves in the middle of a fight, the monsters are outnumbering them.

Ep. 46. Hidden Years 22 & 23

Ember doubts herself and her skills as Chief yet again. She wants to learn to fight with a troll sword, like her father did in the first war. It turns out it is not a skill for her body type and personality. But she refuses to give up, in her mind it is a chief weapon and she needs to do everything like her father. Some of the Wolfriders try to convince her to try different weapons, like a spear. Ember refuses to listen, but even the most stubborn chieftess has to admit defeat when a certain newcomer gifts her a spear. Turns out, a spare is Ember's kind of weapon when she saves Redlance from one of Winnowill's monsters. 
Timmain is spending a lot of time with Teir, which means he is running out of meat and it is time to go for a hunt. When he is about to leave Timmain runs off to find Ember, she is eager for the two of them to go hunting together. After all, Ember is the one Wolfrider who trusts Teir. While out hunting Teir shows Ember his animal magic, how he can imitate them, feel them, and build trust with them. It is something new for Ember, but she realizes that Teir has so much to teach them. On their way back from the hunt they find Pike dancing and howling for Skot, who was one of Pike's lifemates.

Ep. 44. Hidden Years 18 & 19

If you wish to skip our rambling at the beginning of this Episode feel free to skip to 09:57.
Pike has for the last several days been hiding an animal friend, and not just any animal friend. It's the offspring of the tuftcat the tribe killed in the last episode. While holding a council to decide if the cub gets to stay or not, some Wolfriders start to hallucinate after they get stung by insects. Moonshade thinks she sees her daughter Cresent, so she is having a heart-to-heart with her. Ember uses this situation to her advantage to find out what's on Moonshades mind. In the end, when everyone is back to their sane minds Timmain approves of the cub and it gets to stay. 
It is not safe to stay around insects that make them hallucinate unless they have been eating dreamberries so the Wolfriders are on the move again. In front of them is a land with little prey. While the Wolfriders are starving it seems like the wolfs are finding food for themselves. Turns out the ground is full of mice, and it's time to hunt some small predators. The hunt is successful and finally, the Wolfriders can feel the sensation of some full stomachs yet again.

Ep.43. Hidden Years 16 & 17

Ember, the blood of eleven chiefs, is starting her journey as a chiefstess. It is hard for a young cub to find her place and style as a leader. Especially when she is one of the youngest in the tribe, and the elders are challenging her every move. Ember has to learn to lead, to count on her tribemates, and to play on all their strengths. Redlance can grow them a safe space to sleep for the night, and Monshade is a strong huntress.
In the new forest, Ember can feel traces of dark magic. Magic that originates from the black snake. One of her creations is attacking the Wolfriders. They have to be quick, and can they beat this monster the same way they did Madcoil? or do they need to cum up with a new plan? This is the first of Winnowills monsters the Wolfriders meet, but it will not be the last. Leetah's pep talk to Ember at the end of the issue is well-needed for some motivation for what lies ahead.
