Cathrin knows her presence in the Everburn Pack is a temporary thing. Leader Rasha proclaims she has a mission to complete bestowed upon her by the Flame Mother, to create a pack strong enough that may ascend into the sky and join The White Stag.
Cathrin is not of this birth right, she has no chest fire burning inside, nor do the raven's sing to her. But Rasha is kind, and allows Cathrin a chance at survival while the Everburn Pack remains so small. Cathrin hopes perhaps she may one day give a pup to the pack that may have the chest fire, and may carry her descendants to meet their god.
