A Sentinel has a heart so pure, yet so passionate, that in the direst of moments his heart‘s desire can melt the
coldest steel. Thomas was nominated on the day he met Selene and Elizabeth.

The girls were picking berries when a couple of wolves cornered them. They screamed, and the only person
close enough to hear was Thomas. When he arrived, he saw two wolves circling.

Without thinking, he grabbed a loose tree branch and jumped between the wolves and the girls. Calmly, he removed his shirt and waved it to turn the wolves‘ attention toward him. The girls slipped away as one wolf attacked Thomas as he plunged his hunting knife into its chest. He then surveyed his surroundings and found a narrow passage between two trees. Thomas inched his way
toward the passage. The wolf pursued. Thomas stopped right before a slit between the trees. The wolf leapt, Thomas spun to the left, and the wolf landed in the narrow space. Trapped, it clawed and scratched, baring its sharp white teeth at Thomas as he picked up a huge rock and dropped it directly on the wolf‘s head. Selene and Elizabeth returned and found the wolves
vanquished. Thomas, Elizabeth, and Selene had been friends since that day.

When the girls told the village of Thomas‘ bravery,he became a hero and was nominated for Sentinel. While
the village considered Thomas a hero, Selene and Elizabeth considered him a brother, and themselves as sisters to
him.
