• We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain.

But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.
