A short while later, all the trial participants were summoned by the council of firsts. Jun Li insisted that Seya be present. Nix and Morti were standing directly in front of Tautius.
"Welcome new Firsts and Trial participants." Tautius's deep voice rumbled through the small chamber.
The large turtle that until now had remained silent, finally spoke. "I am Horatio, First among the Turtle Titans. Wraina, please step forward, and state your intent to become First."
Wraina was a large black dire wolf. She was roughly the same size as one of Nix's emperor puppets. The wolf bowed slightly. "I will become First."
Horatio glanced at Tautius who nodded in agreement. "You must unite the Dire Wolf Clans. Nix will need your strength when he confronts Khione."
The Black Dire Wolf moved to the empty platform and took her place. "When Inferno calls, we will answer."
