1. How many Soul Eaters are there when they first begin meeting?

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: 7

Three have died by this book. Obviously, two of the soul-eaters who died are Fa and Tenris, the two brothers. The other we don't know about. The clans they came from are Wolf, Seal (sort-of), Oak, Viper, Bat and Eagle-Owl (we don't know anything about the last one). Tenris wasn't actually a mage, but he did convince the others to let him join.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Willow bark

Fin-Kedinn has sent Torak to gather willow bark that had been soaking in a stream. That is when he sees the auroch and the man who warns him. The auroch is usually a gentle creature except when they have calves, as this auroch had with her. Torak didn't want to return to the camp without the bark so he decided to wait. Then he sees the man hunting the auroch.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Bear

The bear has been possessed by a demon. Fa was wounded and the bear ran off, but was going to come back soon. So it would not hurt Torak, Fa sent Torak to go and fetch water.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: White Fox clan

He was sent to look for the two of them. He thinks it is very bad that Torak is wolf clan and Renn has red hair because someone in his clan had a dream about a boy with 'wolf eyes' and a 'girl with red willow hair'. The boy was 'about to do great evil'. In other words, harm his clan creature - A.K.A Wolf.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: A sickness

He is warning Torak that a sickness will sweep the forest, a horrible sickness that drives people to commit suicide. The man has the sickness himself which means he gets blisters and thick honey coloured scabs. The man was mad because he was hunting an auroch alone. 'An auroch is the biggest, strongest prey in the forest. To attack one on your own is asking to be killed.' Torak doesn't bother getting the willow bark, he runs straight to the Raven camp to warn them.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Wolf

Though they are Wolf Clan, Torak and Fa live away from the other Wolf Clan members. Torak wonders whether he should find his clan members as Fa is dying but Fa says not to: 'No! Stay away from men! If they find out-what you can do...'

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: A pile of sleds

This makes Wolf's abductors seem terrifying real. The book says 'Then - with appalling suddenness - they came upon the sleds, casually piled at the side of the trail.' This is how they had taken Wolf - by tying him to the sled.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Oslak

Renn, Fin-Kedinn and Saeunn are all busy when Torak gets to the camp; they are the people he usually goes to if something is wrong. Instead he sees Oslak and blurts out the story. But Oslak just says 'You say the man was boar clan, well then, his mage will take care of him.' When Torak protests, Oslak gets very angry and tells him to go and hunt salmon. Later, he tries to lure his nephew onto a rickety walkway above a fast, deep river and warns if anyone comes closer, he'll slash the supporting ropes and he and Dari will drown. Once he is taken to a safe tent, he escapes, jumps from a big rock and drowns.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Tall Tailless

Wolf thinks humans are wolves but they don't have tails (thus the name 'Tall Tailless'). He thinks Torak isn't very good at being a wolf because he always sleeps all night, whereas a good wolf will wake often. Wolf tries to teach Torak to do this but Torak pushes him away.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: The Soul Eaters

The Soul Eaters abducted Wolf because they wanted a sacrifice and they needed a wolf. As they sacrificed the animals, this is what they chanted: 'This is the owl. The first of the nine hunters. This is the eagle. For keenest sight. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the fox. For cunning. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the otter. For water-skill. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the wolverine. For rage. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the bear. For strength. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the lynx. For leaping. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the wolf. For wisdom. And to protect us from the rage within. This is the man. For cruelty. And to protect us from the rage within.' They only let Torak (disguised as the White Fox boy) come with them so they could use him for the ninth sacrifice. The White Fox boy wanted to be a Soul Eater, so he asked if he could come with them. The Soul Eaters agreed and were going to sacrifice him, but first they got him to help do the main chores like gathering some of the sacrifices. When he was going back to the cave where the Soul Eaters were hiding after getting an owl, he heard Torak and Renn and went to investigate. Torak headbutted him and Renn trained an arrow on his heart. Then they pushed him down a hill so Torak could take his place.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Tainting the Sea with the Forest

Bale, Detlan and Asrif see the fishing hooks that Torak used to catch fish with. They were what 'tainted' the sea because they were bramble thorns. Then they searched Torak's gear whilst he was cutting pine roots from the trees. They got very angry and captured Torak, then they took him in their skinboats, warning him that he'd get The Rock. The Rock was a a large rock jutting out from the sea which people guilty of things like that were tied to. They would only have a waterskin, no food and would be stranded for a month. Sometimes you got washed off and drowned, other times you'd survive but be starving.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Lingonberries

Wolf always snuffles up berries but has a way of knowing that certain berries are poisonous. That is why you should never eat a berry that you find growing on trees unless you know what it is and if it's dangerous.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: Black

Torak describes the root as tasting 'sweet, with an undertow of rottenness that made him gag.' He had to chew it to loosen his souls. If he hadn't, the Soul Eaters would have sacrificed him - meaning he couldn't do anything to save Wolf.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Islinn

Islinn is the leader, but Tenris may as well be. Tenris is the mage and has an enormous amount of control over the Seal Clan. He is the one who manages to get Torak off The Rock.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Hord

Fin-Kedinn is the leader of the Raven Clan. Torak is - of course - the main character and Madonna is a singer. Torak and Hord fight for Torak's life and Torak defeats Hord by blinding him with hot steam and pouring hot soup over him. Fin-Kedinn is annoyed about this because it is a waste of food.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: Cut off his tail

It describes the tip of Wolf's tail as 'matted with blood', 'greeny-black flesh' and 'smelt of rottenness'. Wolf grabs Torak's wrist in his jaws and almost severs Torak's wrist as he reaches for Wolf's tail. This is mainly because Wolf thinks Torak is bad (a Soul Eater). Torak carries on and Wolf describes the pain as 'a clean hurt and the badness was gone.' As a matter of fact, they only cut off the tip of his tail - about the length of your thumb. This is what the White Fox elder dreamed about - a boy, holding an axe above his clan creature. The proper word for cut off is amputate.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Ring seal

When Torak asks the three boys what their parkas are made from, he is confused to discover it is gutskin from a seal. When he asks why they hunt their clan creature they're shocked. Then they explain angrily that their clan creature is ring seal, and the seal they hunt is grey seal.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: The Listener

The Listener fights with air and speaks with silence. Torak uses a very high pitched whistle to call Wolf. It is made from grouse bone.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: The Fire Opal

The Fire Opal that Torak and Renn destroy is only a fragment. The real thing was shattered by Fa, so they still have to find and destroy the other parts. After he shattered the Fire Opal, he started a fire in the camp. The fragment of the Fire Opal Renn had was only the size of a duck's egg. The whole Fire Opal was about the size of an adult's fist.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Selik root

This is totally pointless. Tenris is actually the one sending the sickness using his two servants. First, he tested the sickness on Bale's younger brother and it killed him.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Mountain of the World Spirit

Torak must find the Mountain of the World Spirit and give his heart's blood. This will destroy the bear.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: Stamp on his tail

Torak says he'll pay for that. He is very protective of Wolf by this book. Thiazzi was comparing Wolf to Torak who was crying out because Seshru tugged him up very roughly.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Tokoroth

The art of creating a tokoroth was supposed to be forgotten, according to Saeunn, but Tenris found it and made two. Renn is bitten by one of these earlier in the book.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Nanuak

These will be given to the World-Spirit along with Torak's heart's blood to make the bear be killed. If Torak doesn't find these before the Red Eye is highest, the bear will be invincible.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: The Bat Mage

This could be a giant spoiler if you've never read the book so I won't say too much (sorry if I did on the other questions).

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: His heart

As Torak is being tied up, he discovers that Tenris is going to eat his heart. He also discovers that Fa was Tenris' brother.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Build a cave

Building a house wouldn't be very good! It might get blown over. Renn is extremely nervous of the ice river because her father froze to death! It's good that he went that way because that's where he finds the Darkest Light- final part of the nanuak.

From Quiz Soul Eater

Answer: The Mark of the Soul Eaters

In the book, it describes how he gets this tattoo: 'Seshru was running her finger down his cheek. "You will never be free of me," she whispered in his ear. Then he felt Thiazzi's strong grip on his shoulders, holding him down, and Seshru was pricking his chest with a bone needle, rubbing in the stinking black stain made from the bones of murdered hunters and the blood of the Soul Eaters. "This mark," she breathed,"will be like the harpoon head beneath the skin of the seal. One twitch, and it will draw you, no matter how hard you struggle..."' If you have a certain edition of the book, there is an extract in it of book four, "Outcast". If you read that, there will be an interesting part about that tattoo. I hope you enjoyed my quiz.

From Quiz Spirit Walker

Answer: Fa

The seven soul-eaters are all mages. Torak guesses that Fa was the seventh after his battle with Tenris on the crag. Fin-Kedinn doesn't answer, but Torak could tell from the look in his eyes. He is horrified at first and refuses to accept it until Fin-Kedinn reminds him that at the beginning they were not all evil. Fa hadn't gone evil like the rest of them and when he tried to leave, he became their enemy. That was why they killed him.

From Quiz Wolf Brother

Answer: Wolf

Torak and Renn haven't had any romantic relationship in this entire book and he wasn't absolute best friends with her-she just wasn't wolf! Fa's knife is a treasured possession-he probably wouldn't give it away for anything! If Torak had died (like Hord thought should happen) then there probably wouldn't be a sequel and it wouldn't be called 'The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness' it would be called 'The Chronicle of Ancient Darkness'.
