The next morning Hank decided to test his limits, physical and mental, he ran for 15 minutes near the entrance of the cave and then collapsed exhausted.
“Well I suppose I can’t complain I’m just 2 days old, lets try cultivate my body now that I’m exhausted”.
He started to concentrate but the problem was he didn’t know where to start, if the wolfs couldn't cultivate mana consequentially they couldn’t use magic then how is he suppose to cultivate the body?.
“I surely can’t feel a trace of mana, them must be something else something that’s enable my body to evolve and become stronger, I must meditate a try to feel, if my theory is right there must be something in the air”.
In the meantime his father was paying close attention to him, at the beginning he wasn’t sure what the little puppy was doing but now that Hank was trying to meditate it was clear to him about the intentions of his son.
“This little one is only 2 days old and is already trying to feel the Nature Energy hehehe well is not that easy to feel it” Ikaw was having fun watching his son trying to feel the energy.
Like his father said it was not easy, after 2 hour trying but without results Hank decided to first exercise his body and later he would ask his parents for direction in cultivating the body.He started creating a course with obstacles to train all aspects of his body, agility, endurance, strength and speed. Well the best he could do with his current body was very limited and soon enough he collapsed again.
His mother from the cave called him, it was time to eat and he was starving.
“Little White why are you running like crazy?” Cisce asked, she was really curious about this little white puppy that from the second day of life started to run around differently from his brothers that stayed near her all the time asking for more milk.
“Mother is strange to train?” Hank was uneasy was he really standing out too much?
“Son, we wolfs, start to train after half year and we start to gather Nature Energy at the age of 1,5 years old” explained his mother.
He was really happy, so his speculation was right, there really was another form of energy.
“ Mother, mother what is Nature Energy and how I can gather it?” he was eager to start his training.
“Right now you can’t gather it, if you start you’ll die or become an cripple, when you first gather your energy it will awaken your affinity and your current body can’t handle it, that why we start to gather after 1 yeah of training” Explained Cisce.

“OK mother but I really need to wait for half a year to start training? Can’t I start now?”.
“I suppose you can, you really are different from your sibling, they only care for food and sleep” Cisce was really happy that his son was such a hard working cub.
“Mom I’ve been meaning to ask you... We are alone? I mean there is no other wolf in our pack?” Hank was curious why he didn’t see other wolfs, the wolfs he know were a type o animal that lived in pack with an alpha, but here there was only his family.
“Little curios wolf, hehe yes we are a part of a pack, but usually new cubs are introduced to the pack after they are 1 week old, so don’t worry soon enough you’ll meet the other and the are some others cubs, maybe you’ll find your mate hehe”
“Mom let’s not talk about useless stuff like mate I’m to young for that” Hank was really tired today he really pushed himself too much, collapsing two times from exhaustion, now he just wanted to sleep.
“Tomorrow I wanna start training mom, but now I’m going to sleep I’m too tired”.
His mother just smiled, she really was happy.
The next day at the sunrise Hank was already asking his father for instruction to train.
“come on dad, tell me what I’m suppose to do”Hank was like a little child running around his father that was about to lay down after returning from the hunt.
“OK son I going to tell just once so pay attention, so as you can see there are allot of little rocks around, your training will consist in running full speed only touching the rocks and you can’t stop, this training helps with endurance, agility, speed, building your muscles, your capacity of choosing the best path and train your vision e mental capacity” This training was really weird but for generations it has been taught like this from father to sons, Ikaw was not going to be the first to change it, he really cherished traditions and a smile could be seen on his face now that he was recalling when his father taught him the same.
This new method combined with the course with obstacles he had created became his usual routine, and soon the end of the fist week came, it was time to be introduced to the pack.
“Son I must ask you to don’t show off too much, even tho we are a united pack there is always envy, and if Alannar find you to be a potential threat it will get really ugly” explained his father.
“Who is Alannar father?” Hank couldn’t understand why he could be a threat.
“Alannar is the Alpha, he is as big as me and his affinity is fire he is a bit impulsive but overall he is a good leader”.
“OK dad I’ll be careful, what is your and mom affinities?” Hank was really curious about affinity.
“Mine is earth the most usual affinity in our species and your mother is wind well is not rare.. Around 50% of us have earth and 35% have the other three water, wind and fire” Explained Ikaw.
“What about the remaining 15%?” asked Hank.
“Light and Darkness my son” Answered Ikaw.
“What about lightning element?” Now he really was nervous why his father never mentioned lightning?
“Well lightning is just too rare in the history of our specie only a handful of wolf had lightning affinity”explained his father.
Hank was really cursing right now, when the pack finds out he had lightning affinity there will be some troubles with Alannar the alpha.
