A/N: It is finally here!! The First Wolf Blade!! WOO-HOO!! Hope you enjoy!!

I ran as fast as I could down a hallway of the Lunar Palace, following the trail of White Aura. I had been running for about five minutes, as fast as possible. Soon, I began to see an end to the tunnel. As I crossed through, excited, I sighed, somewhat depressed.

"Great…" I said to myself. "An intersection…"

I was at a three-way intersection: left, straight, or right. Now which way…

I looked at my morpher, noticing that the eyes were somewhat brighter than they were earlier. At least I'm getting close.

Closing my eyes, I began to focus my aura and see which way the aura was going. It didn't take long, and I began to run again.

Down another hallway I went, only this time the hallway was somewhat curvy. Going from left to right, the hallway didn't have any major turns to it. I continued to run, hoping that I would find the end soon. Though, deep down, I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

I continued to run and when I finally reached an opening, it was another intersection. This time, however, there were four choices: left, right, straight-left, and straight-right.

I sighed. "Good thing I can use my aura," I said to myself. I pondered for a moment. "Wow, I'm lonely…" This had been one of the few times where there was no one around and I didn't have my psychic link to Coyote and the others. Pushing that aside, I focused my aura, located the path, and began down another long tunnel.

As I reached the end of that tunnel, there were even more choices to choose from. This time, there were five. Like before, I focused my aura, found the path, and ran.

For half an hour, I ran and ran, now knowing exactly where I was going. All I could do was hope that the path I was traveling down was the right one. I had no choice but to put my faith in my aura.

As I entered another intersection, I collapsed on the ground, trying to catch my breath. I had been running for half an hour, something I hadn't done since freshman year of high school. I looked up, only to see that there were now seven possible ways of travel, excluding the way I had just entered. I stood up and focused my aura into my surroundings.

As my aura was flooding the room, trying to find the next path, I noticed that the white aura seemed to be coming from somewhere within this room. Problem was: I couldn't tell where it originated.

"Am I here?" I asked. I looked down at my morpher, noticing the eyes on the Lunar Caller were glowing a very vibrate white.

"I wonder…" I said to myself. I started walking around the room, trying to see if my theory worked. Sure enough, it did. I was now playing hot-n-cold with my morpher. As I got closer to the location, the eyes would glow brighter. If they got dimmer, I was going the wrong way.

Soon, I found myself standing in the middle of the room. And, just as I stood in the middle, the eyes quit glowing.

"What the…?" I asked. Two seconds later, I found out.

I was standing, unknown to me at the time, on a circular platform that had a carving of a sun in it. Slowly, it began to turn. And, as it turned, it lifted me up.

When it first began, it jerked me and almost caused me to lose my balance. What more, my feet felt like they were glued to the platform. And, as much as I tried to break free, nothing worked. I was stuck.

And when I looked up, it made things even worse. The high ceiling was, slowly but surely, coming closer.

"Oh, crap…" I said. I looked at my morpher. "Got any ideas?"

Then it hit me. "Duh…" I flipped it open and pressed the center button. "Lunar Access!"

But, nothing happened. "What the hell?" I tried again. Still, nothing happened. I tried a third, and then a fourth time; still no response.

"There is no way I'm just gonna stand here and get crushed!" I tried to move my feet again. Nothing seemed to work. I was getting closer and close. "I'm not gonna let it end like this!"

My mind was racing as I tried to figure out a way to get out of the mess I was in. I didn't have a clue. I couldn't morph, which meant I couldn't use the Lunar Cue; I didn't have any way of contacting Coyote and the others; and I had no way of contacting the other rangers to aid me. I was screwed. I was about two feet from my head touching the ceiling and there was no way out of it. All I had was my aura.

And then, it dawned on me. My aura! Up until now, I had only used it as a mental-like weapon when I helped Kat and a path-locator when I was following the white aura here. I had used it twice before as a physical weapon, but it felt so long ago that I had almost forgotten.

I looked down at the platform, then up at the ceiling. Platform it is. I focused as much aura as I could manage into my hands, and then pointed them down towards the platform. Hope this works… I could feel the aura in the palm of my hands; the power flowing between my fingers; the sensation that came with knowing how much power I had under my fingertips.

I formed a giant sphere of aura from my hands. It is now or never! I forced the aura sphere into the platform, right between my feet. The impact caused whatever was holding my feet in place to release its grasp and threw me off the platform.

I don't know how, but the fall from the platform was nothing but a blur. One minute I was in the air and the next I was on my hands and knees, as if I had just blacked out. Whether it was my aura or another invisible force, I doubt I will ever find out.

Once I realized I was on the ground and back in my right mind, I looked up to see the raised platform. Before me was a chamber that, to my surprise, was completely intact. It was about four or five feet from the ceiling, where it had been prior to my aura attack. Upon the surface of the chamber was writing written in a strange language that I had never seen before. I stood up and started to walk towards it, but I stumbled back and fell.

Guess I used too much aura… I thought, trying to stand up. When I thought I had finally regained enough energy to stand up, the room began to glow. The entire amount of aura I had used to blast at the chamber from above was now traveling through the chamber, into the floor, through vanes in the floor, towards each of the eight entryways, and up both sides of all the entryway's frames.

Standing up, slowly, I gazed at what all I was seeing. I thought that, maybe, I was seeing things; that I was at that point of exhaustion that caused illusions. But, I was wrong. I walked around the chamber, looking to see if there was a possible way into it. Once I reached, what I had guessed to be, the front, there was a giant glowing symbol. Whatever it stood for, I had no idea. But, all the same, I was amazed.

Suddenly, I heard a noise. It sounded like rock sliding against its self. I turned to look at the way I had entered, only to see a rock door being brought up from under the ground. I was being blocked in.

However, I didn't panic. For some reason, I felt at peace; something that I hadn't felt since the accident at Grandpa Merrick's place. I turned my attention back to the chamber.

I was filled with curiosity. I wanted to know what was behind that door. But, at the same time, I already knew. Slowly, I lifted my right hand up to the stone and, just as I was about to touch it, someone grabbed my hand.

I turned to see a beautiful young woman with white hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in white robes that were trimmed in fur. Roughly 5'6", the young woman's touch was very warm to my cold skin. She smiled at me, a kind of strange smile that said, "I like you, so don't screw it up."

She released my hand and brought hers to rest on her right side. "You must be the one of legend," She said in a very sweet voice. "Tell me, what is your name?"

I put my right hand down to my side and backed away from the chamber so that I was facing her. "Caleb Baliton," I answered.

She smiled a sweet smile. "Ah, yes, the grandson of Merrick Baliton," she said. Her look changed from one of happiness to confusion. "You do not seem confused that I know of your grandfather. Why is that?"

I shrugged. "A lot has happened to me within the last sixty hours. As of right now, hardly anything surprises me," I complied. I sounded tired. I had used up a lot more aura than I had thought previously. I wanted to sleep so badly, but knew I couldn't afford to do that.

Her expression changed back into a smiling, happy face. "I see," she began, "that does make sense." She looked directly in my eyes. "My name is Aniu."

"Guardian?" I asked.

"Kind of…" She answered. She barely touched the chamber with her index finger when the chamber split in two.

Levitating within the chamber was a white katana that looked like no one had touched it in years.

"The first of the wolf blades," I whispered. I turned my attention back to Aniu. "What's the catch, 'kind of' guardian?"

She looked surprised. "You were most definitely not what I expected," She said. I didn't respond. "How intriguing you are, Caleb Baliton." She walked around me, examining me. I didn't more, or breathe it felt like. I kept looking straight ahead. Once she had made a complete 360, she sighed. "Do you know who I truly am?"

"I have an idea," I said, "White wolf of the Arctic."

If she was surprised, she didn't show it. All she did was smile. "You are truly amazing, Caleb Baliton," she began. "There have been others who sought the powers of my wolf blade. And there have been a few who have come within inches of reaching it. However, their hearts were always filled with greed and hatred. But you, you are not. I can see within your heart that you seek my wolf blade in order to save your friends lives. Though you are unsure how, you know that you will be one step closer to your goal with this blade.

"I must say that I am extremely impressed as well, Caleb Baliton. Instead of reaching for the blade, you turned to me. You wanted my approval in order to even continue looking at it longer than you did earlier. You have no intentions of fighting me. You wish to resolve this in a civil manner. And now I must ask you, on what grounds do you think I will freely give you this blade and the knowledge that comes with it?"

"On the grounds that I will save my friends from the evil that binds their hearts; on the grounds that I will restore balance to my time; on the grounds that I have no interest in using your blade for anything other than aiding my friends and allies; and on the grounds that I promise to wield your blade in your name and honor," I responded.

She walked up to the blade and grabbed it, waiting a few minutes before she touched it. When she grabbed it, I felt a strong aura flow through the room and I began to feel my strength return.

"Lunar Wolf Ranger, Caleb Baliton," Aniu said. "Not only did your answers come from your heart, but you were not hesitant whatsoever when you spoke to me. That shows your heart, mind, and soul is one with each other." She held the blade in an honorary manor. "I present to you the White Blade of the Arctic: the Holy Judgment."

A/N: So, the first of the three blades has been revieled. I know there wasn't much action in this one, but there will be plenty very soon!! Hope you enjoyed!!
