The crowd picked up a chant while they strolled around the four travellers. Everyone drum rolled.

"You've been accepted as a Tarabian citizen!"

Everyone gasped and embraced the four girls. Everyone laughed and smiled, and the four girls felt more than relieved. They felt as though they belonged.

"I shall tell you your roles to Tarabia after you get draped with the Water of Honesty."

Suddenly, four wolf riders pulled the buckets off the fire and dumped the contents over Abigail's, Lokeyia's, Magda's and Sara's heads. The water smelt of perfumes, roses and herbs. It was warm, like one of those luxury days when Abigail's parents would heat some water and Abigail would have a hot shower.

"Lokeyia, what is your full name? What would you like us to call you?"

"Lokeyia Amber Cliffton. You can call me Lokeyia or Lokey."

"Magda? Can you please tell us?"

"Magdalena Evelyn. My family name is Leed. Call me Magda or Eve, I don't mind but I prefer Magda."

"Abigail?"

"My full name is Abigail Cordelia Hilton. Call me Abigail or just Gail."

"And last but not least, Sara?"

"Sara Ophilia Brown. Daughter of James and June Brown. Call me Sara."

"Thank you! I shall tell these young citizens their roles. Lokeyia Amber Cliffton, your role is gathering. Magdalena Evelyn Leed, you have been given the role of guarding/nursing. Abigail Cordelia Hilton has been given the role of hunting/fighting. Sara Ophilia Brown has been given the role of cooking."

The crowd clapped and cheered, as four wolf riders stepped up, including the sandy brown haired man.
