Faolan lost track of time. He would never know exactly how long he spent in the cave—the Cave Before Time, as he began to think of it. He seemed not to need sleep or food. It was as if he fed on the story that unfolded before him. There were many gaps in the story and the paintings on the other walls did not seem sequential. The first paintings had been of caribou. The flowing line of wolves, which he would eventually learn was called a byrrgis, came in the middle, whereas it should have begun the tale. To Faolan, this particular painting was the core of the story. It was the painting that gave him hope, that reminded him of the beautiful howls of the wolves he had heard when he had ventured out from the winter den on those cold nights as Thunderheart slept. It made him realize that not all wolves were like the vicious, stupid ones he had seen in the Outermost.

It was uncanny how the motion of the wolves had been captured by the blurring of their legs. However, it wasn’t simply the depiction of the movement that impressed Faolan but rather the sense of joint action, the combined effort of many wolves working together for the sake of one another and the pack. This was completely the opposite of the outclanner wolves he had witnessed in the Outermost. And this was only a fragment of a larger story that he began to piece together in the Cave Before Time.
