Raven tells Ash he remains a child until he takes down a giant wild boar by himself. At the camp, a hunter shoves Ash into the snow and insults him. Ash sets off and kills the beast alone. He hauls the giant boar into the tactical room before Chief Hastings and Raven. Raven simply tells him to wash his face. Frustrated at the stream, Ash unleashes crimson eyes and awakens nearby forest wolves.
Raven stands with Ash in a dark alley. He tells the boy he does not know death's ruthlessness. Raven says Ash remains a child until he hunts down a giant wild boar completely alone.
Ash walks through the hunter camp clearing while other clan members mock him. A burly hunter calls Ash a freak and shoves him down into the snow. Ash takes the abuse before moving on.
Chief Hastings discusses border threats with Raven and the hunters. Ash kicks the room door open and drags in a giant wild boar carcass. Raven dismisses the accomplishment and tells Ash to wash his face.
Ash cleans blood from his face at a creek at night. Desperate to prove himself, glowing red marks rise along his neck. His eyes turn crimson, pack eyes appear in the woods, and Ash smirks.
“Until you hunt a giant wild boar on your own and pass the test, you're still just a kid to me.”
“Freaks belong on the outskirts with the scraps. Get out of our sight!”
“Cap, I tracked it alone. This one's mine.”
“Not bad. Go wash your face.”
Ash kneels by the stream at night, washing blood away in frustration. Red marks spread up his neck, his eyes turn crimson, and glowing wolf eyes peer through the surrounding dark forest. Ash grins in the dark. Will Ash lose control of his awakening wolf power, or will he use it against the hunters?
