Nanaque, unable to go to the battlefield, was arranged to follow Hog's group. Riding her Throne Wolf, she charged with Wise Wolf through the nocturnal sandstorm. After bypassing an enemy camp, Nanaque finally couldn't help but ask:
"You have thrown all your forces into a reckless gamble, essentially abandoning the power you've painstakingly built, just to get close to that so-called 'Sacred Land.' Have you considered the possibility that there's nothing there...
You claim to want to save the soul of the Wolf People civilization, yet you make such a terrible wager.
Is it truly worth it?"
"This isn't gambling, Nanaque. Gambling is not good; no one should favor gambling."
Hog, clad in the Broken Tooth Clan's protectors, rode her Throne Wolf across the barren lands without turning her head, saying:
"I am certain the Sacred Land holds everything we've been searching for on this journey, and it's not the end for the Grey Wolf Army.
It's a starting point, a brand new beginning.
