I returned to Theo's cave to learn more and to help him. "Good morning, Theo." i said when i walked into his cave and looked curious when i saw his guest. A beautiful dark gray female wolf with light gray fur around her muzzle, along her front, bottom and back of her legs. She had white toes and a blue bandana around her neck. Her expressive yellow eyes shone like two stars. The white V mark on her back and two white below and above their eyes told me that she has not exclusively wolfish ancestors. He looked at me and answered friendly "Good morning Blacky. I'd like you to introduce Frostbite. She would like to be trained in the art of fire and metal, too. "He looked at Frostbite and said "Frost, this is Blacky. He's new in the pack and would like to be my student." I looked at her and bowed my head in greeting and said, "I am pleased to meet you Frostbite." She replied politely but reserved "Me too Blacky." I took off the harness with the dagger, and gave it back to Theo "Thank you for the borrow. I hope you were satisfied with our guarding." Theo nodded "You're welcome. Luca and you have done well." and took the harness and hung it back on the weapons rack.

When he came back he said, "I hope you are ready to start your training?" Frostbite answered "Yes, Theo." I nodded and wagged happily with the tail. "Good." Said Theo, "Your first task will be to learn how to ignite a fire and maintains. First, you need a flint. "He showed us one and told us what we look for. "Furthermore, it requires tinder fungus. This is a fungus that grows on diseased beech and birch." Theo took a fungus out of a crate and showed it to us. He told us he had to dry first before you can use it. "And finally, you need firewood. Dry brushwood to dry branches and some dry grass." Theo told us briefly where we can find the materials. I asked Frostbite "Shall we split up? Then we have the material more quickly here." She nodded and answered "Yes. I'm going to collect firewood." I nodded, took a leather pouch and went in search for the material.

Frostbite ran into the woods to look for firewood. She found a large, dense branch which she can use as a sled. She collected all sorts of dry branches and twigs and put them on the sled. When she had enough she pulled the sled back to Theo. This has been slow because it was very heavy. On the way back Frostbite still gathered some dry tufts of grass. This gave her simultaneously the chance to relax a little.

Meanwhile I made my way to the southwest of the territory. Theo said there is a small quarry where I can find flints. Along the way I looked weakened beech and birch where tinder fungus could grow. I finally found two sick beeches and earned five fungi and put them in the leather pouch. "That should be enough for now." I thought, and went on to the quarry. Once there, I rummaging over an hour until I found two stones that looked like Theo so they had shown us. I hit against each other and yelped in surprise as sparks flew. Joyfully I wagged my tail and they stowed in the leather pouch. So I went back to Theo.

Frost and I arrived back at the same time. Theo was already waiting in front of his cave and Frost said "I have the wood and tufts of grass." i added "I have two flints and five tinder fungi." Theo replied "That looks pretty good. Now comes. I'll teach you make Fire." He built a few branches to two small pyramids, he took two flints, two tinder fungi, dry grass and two daggers and shared it to below Frost and me. He said, "You smite with the blunt side of the dagger as long sparks with flint on tinder fungus until it starts to smolder. Then you wrap it carefully in the dry grass and blow gently into it. If it begins to smolder, place the bundle in the branches and blow gently until it begins to burn. Try it. "We each took a flint and hit it with the daggers as long sparks up a small plume of smoke rise. Frost succeeded earlier than me. As instructedshe now wrapped the fungus in the tuft of grass and blew into it until it smoldered. Then she put the bundle gently between the branches and blew on. Small flames flickered out of the grass and we could see how the branches slowly caught fire. Only a moment later, i managed also. "Now put on a few stronger branches on." said Theo and we followed the instruction. Some time later, two small campfire flickered before Theo's cave and i gave Frost a few thick branches to put more wood on the fire. Theo nodded and said "If we were now to give coal would be the basis for a decent forge fire. I let you the next time fire up the furnaces and explain to you the importance of air supply." Frost replied kindly "Thank you for your trust Theo." i wagged happily with my tail and said "It is an honor for me, Theo." he replied "The day was long for you. Now go and rest. "We said goodbye and went back to our caves.
