there’s anything that could out run me.”

We both laughed for a moment, as Aaron said a few jokes. But, on Aaron’s third joke, we were interrupted by an unfamiliar howl.

Aaron and I turned our heads to the den’s entrance, and quit our laughing instantly. Aaron put out his head from the den and whispered, “Oh no.” He then ran out of my den. I began to shout after him but I just got onto my paws. I looked out side of my den and I repeated what Aaron said.

I stumbled out of my den, and struggled to run over to see what a group of Shaded Forest wolves huddled over. I beat the alphas to the crowd, and pushed my way in to see what was going on.

I saw what the commotion was. It was Aaron huddling over Echo, in a protective stance. He looked at her worried and scared. I heard another strange howl, and turned my head to a rock near the edge of the densite's clearing. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was him.

"You see what happens when you trust Shadow Peak?" He called to me and continued, "She was attacked by Chief and given a message."

"What the message?" I responded.

He turned and ran into the shadows, back to his home. I turned over to see, Huron talking with his daughter and the words ringing through the air that Huron has recited from Echo, "War will come among the packs."
