GAH!!! If I think i can reach it with create elements, I manifest a bunch of rocks to make a small dam to catch it (not stop the river, just block the item's progress) Otherwise, I shift to lupus and chase off after it along the bank of the river. Either way, I hastily thank the spirit before departing.
Rolls for CE: 3,5,5,6,7,7,7,9,9 - 6 successes, 6 cubic feet of rock manifested if I use it

You're successful in creating the element and momentarily blocking its path, but as you reach in, the flow of water rushes it around one of the sides and down the river.
A few moments later, the river quiets down into a bit more of a tranquil stream, and luckily for you, the item floats. You reach in this time and easily grab it. It's a key with a reflective surface.

I stash this key away on my person, and clear away the rocks that i created, so they do not impede the natural flow of the river. Then I return to the waterfall spirit to properly thank it. If he doesn't have a task for me to complete as payment for his help, I bid him farewell and head back to the Caern via the Moonbridge, otherwise I begin to complete his task.

He has no tasks in particular. You return to the Caern fairly quickly.
Your mentor is waiting for you, patiently.

"I have solved your riddles, and returned with the key. " I exclaim proudly. "Um...what is this a key to?"

He laughs. "I was about to ask if you had any guesses about that."

(Rolling Wits+Enigmas diff 8 to see if my character has any ideas - 4 successes on 5 dice!) "Well, I can sense the power emanating from it, and given that it is a prize that I would desire, I would say it is clearly a fetish of some type. This reflective gem at the base perplexes me. It is shiny enough that I can step sideways with it, but beyond that, I don't know its purpose."

"It's a Key to the Umbra. I figured it would serve you well."

"Thank you very much. I am sure that I will put it to good use." I say. "So, um, what now? Is that it for my rite of passage?"

"If you don't think it was enough, I can arrange for more," he says eagerly.

"Thank you, but no. That is quite all right. You just scared me when you told me to not die before I left. I thought there might be more left, since I hadn't really faced mortal danger during my trial. I am quite content with peace and quiet. Unless you have anything else to tell me, I will take my leave." I then go about making a cord for my key (so it can hang around my neck) and then dedicating the fetish. ((What was the verdict? Can I have Rite of Dedication along with Rite of Becoming and Rite of Caern Opening given my rites score of 4?)) If I have sufficient time, I will also (meditate?) to regain my used point of Gnosis.

((Sounds fine to me.))
You do so. Most of the wolves that favor you congratulate you warmly, and even those that don't give a nod of respect.
That night, the elders hold a moot in your honor, and you become an official member of the caern.
After the moot, the Grand Elder comes over to speak with you, "How do you feel?"

I'm feeling pretty good, a bit anxious about what the future will hold for me now that I am an official member of the caern.

"For now, we'll keep you here as part of the caern guard. Your duties will include staying up on night watch and helping the Warder tend to the grounds."

"I think I can easily manage that. And what of the times when I am not attending to my duties?"
