The Young Blood

Young Blood is potential wrapped in arrogance and ignorance.
Forge them into something worthy.

Train Young Blood hard until they break or strengthen.
The Hunt will train them harder still.

Let a Young Blood's first kill terrify them with its difficulty.
This fear will save their life.

Protect Young Blood during training among the clan.
Abandon them completely in the Hunt among prey.

Young Blood who survives alone in the Hunt is no longer young.
They have earned their place.

Arrogance in youth is expected and natural.
Arrogance after Blooding is fatal and unforgivable.

Let Young Blood fail in training where failure teaches.
They cannot be allowed to fail in the Hunt where failure kills.

Young Blood earns nothing through birth or blood.
They must take everything through trial and skill.

Watch Young Blood with the eyes of a hawk.
They are our future glory or our future shame.

A Young Blood's eagerness is a weapon of great power.
Aim it carefully or watch it destroy them.
