He is shocked to see that the She-Wolf Herself has chosen him as her Recruit, and is immediatly enchanted by her melodius voice the first time he hears it. They introduce themselves and Sitka asks Derek to hold out his hand, but Derek is slightly intimidated by her strong sword and battle-torn ears. Sitka realizes this, takes her human form, and makes the request again. When her kindar begins to glow, and her sword vibrates violently, she is sure that Derek is meant to be her Recruit. As a group of kids behind Derek starts to whisper about his parent's past mistakes, Sitka overhears and stands up for her new Recruit. Sitka then signals her brother over to meet Derek, and they introduce themselves. Derek is left alone as Sitka and Arrow leave to discuss something with their parents. When they return, Arrow leaves again and Sitka takes her horse form. Derek mounts her and they ride off, Derek knowing that he is in the adventure of his lifetime.
