collar and brought me closer to her. I was starting to get nervous now since I didn’t know her and that I was standing so close to such a beautiful female.

 

“Uh.. WHAT!?” I asked in surprise.

 

“Two heads are better than one when for looking for someone.” She told me.

 

“Hey wait a second!”

“What’s your name?”

 

“Um…. Chronos.”

 

“Fascinating name, sounds really nice. My is Jenna it’s nice to meet you.”

 

“Hey wait no..” she practically dragged me the whole time. Still it felt nice to have a new friend. Cynder was my only friend since she was the only person my age. Jenna looks slightly older than me, but she was very beautiful. Anyway she took me to her house where she insisted I stay, I was getting kind of tired so I accepted her invitation. In the morning we had eaten a good breakfast and started out to the tundra lands in the north. These fields looked so amazing!!

 

“I sense Balto’s presence here. Call it my girl intuition.” I was so tired from walking non stop but I still admired the wide open spaces here.

 

“What am I doing?” I asked myself.

 

“Sorry. Once I find Balto I’ll help you find who ever you’re looking for Chronos.” I wasn’t really paying attention to what she was saying, my imagination was once again captured by the tundra lands.

 

“This looks so beautiful.” I spoke.

 

“What? You mean the tundra lands?” Apparently she didn’t understand where I was coming from.

 

“Everything is so great here, isn’t it? The sky is gorgeous, and everyone is happy. Nothing like where I come from.”

 

“And where is that?” She asked me. I began to stumble because I didn’t want her to know that was from a dystopian future. So I just started up on another subject.

 

“Let’s go, I’ll help you find who you’re looking for.” We ran back towards Nome. It was now around noon.

 

“I can’t believe we haven’t located Balto yet. Gee I wonder where he went. I know I’ll ask my friend some of my friends if they’ve seen him!” Jenna suggested.

 

“My be I’ll look for him on my own. Probably be better to split up.” I replied.

 

“Okay, whether we find him or not we meet back her in an hour. Okay?”

 

“Alright.” She ran towards the sawmill of the town. I was left in the town square. As soon as I turned toward the south guess who I saw. THE ANTCIENT TRIGGER! Walking next to a grey husky that was wearing a very fancy collar. I didn’t care if he was alone or not NOW WAS MY CHANCE! “DOWN!” he yelled as I shot my first attack on him.

 

“I have been looking for you. You’re the Antcient trigger. You’re actions will condemn us all!” I said as I descended from my hover.

 

“Who are you?” He asked.

 

“My name is Chronos. For the future of the world, I will destroy you!” And what an easy minute and a half it was. He was fast, but he was no match for my powers. Slapping him on the ground and throwing stuff at him, all using my mind. Heh, piece of cake.

 

As he was just laying there, I walked up to him and observed him more closely. “Hmph. Is this a joke? How could someone like you cause the destruction of the world?”

 

“What do you….. mean?” He asked weakly.

 

“It doesn’t matter. For the sake of the future, the Ancient trigger must be destroyed.” I was about to strike him, when I heard a yelp. It was the fancy grey husky calling for help. She was pined down to a sled by a black and white malamute, obviously not a friend of the trigger.

 

“ANNA! WAIT!!” the trigger called out to her. But he couldn’t run off, so  stopped him once again by holding him down.

 

“DON’T YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON ME! It’s time I put an end to this!”

 

“STOP!” That was Jenna’s voice.

 

“Jenna? Get out of my way Jenna! This is my mission!” I scolded her.

 

“AB-SO-LUT-LY NOT!” She was starting to frustrate me. And to make things worse, the trigger began to revive.

 

“Th- Thanks Jen. I really appreciate it.” Then he ran off.

 

“Leave him to me.” Jenna started to sound threatening. I didn’t want to fight her!

 

“The person you were looking for was Balto! Were you planning to kill him?” She asked in a more calm voice.

 

“He is responsible for destroying my world!” I scolded her.

 

“THAT’S CRAZY! Balto would never do that. And how could he? Not even human has that kind of capacity.”

“But it’s true! In the near future, his actions will cause the devastation of my world. So I MUST…..”

“NOO!” she interrupted me. “I don’t believe it. Even if that was true, if I had to choose between the world or Balto, I would chose Balto, and your hearing this from a husky that has a girl that almost died from a disease, and in spite of that I still went with Balto to help him bring back the cure. Balto is a kind and caring canine. I WON’T BELIEVE YOU!” She ran off yelling that phrase over and over. Now I was confused. The trigger and Jenna are mates? How can that be? I pondered this as I walked toward the beach.

 

I sate near a boat on the beach and pondered about Jenna and the trigger. “Could I possibly be going after the wrong wolf/dog? No, Youth said it was HIM!”

 

“So this is where you are, I’ve been looking for you.” Sounded like Cynder. About time she came along. “What’s wrong?” I just kept staring at the watery horizon not knowing what to say.

 

“Well, uh, Cynder. To kill someone to save the world…. Is that really the right thing to do?” I asked her.

 

“You’re so naïve.” I was expecting a response like that. “Whether it’s right or wrong, I can’t say…. But what I do know is, if we don’t take this chance, the future will remain exactly as it is.” No denying, she was right.

 

“Well, he’s looking for someone named Steele. And from what I’ve heard from some of the locals, is that he lives in an abandoned cabin in the woods. Why don’t we go over there and see if we can get any more information?” Cynder also thought it was a good idea, so we headed out to the south.

 

It was a long walk towards the cabin. It was really deep in the woods, bet no one even knew it existed. It was snowy and it was at night, it was pretty cold but nothing that compared to Ancient’s icy breath. “Looks like we arrived a little to late.” We continued to look farther out and were encountered by rabid foxes. “Oh No!” I was not afraid. I went right after them without a scratch. I knocked one out cold the other ran off. But one of them dropped a crystal. I walked towards it and picked it up. It looked like the totem that Youth had given me when we were still in the future.

 

“That’s a crystal totem.” Cynder told me. “This is the fox totem, each of them give the bearer special powers, this one gives you the ability to vanish, reappear, and makes you in to the most clever and sly being ever. If you collect all six of them a miracle of life and/or nature is suppose to happen. Keep it as a lucky charm.”  Well I had learned something today.

 

“Makes me like a fox. Crazy like a fox!” I said to my self. “I’ve been spending to much time here, I have to find the trigger.” Cynder and I headed back to Nome.

            I cannot believe I was helping that jerk. Seriously killing Balto, who did he think he was, now here I am in the Basement of Steele’s cabin and I haven’t seen Balto any where. I’ve been trying to locate him but now I think I am in trouble. “Oh dang there’s Kaltag!” I didn’t expect anyone to be down here. Lucky for me he was just leaving. It wasn’t until I heard the front door close that I decided to get up and do more snooping. “On second thought, maybe I should just walk away real quietly before they spot me.” I was about to walk towards the stair case when I ran into another female dog. She just appeared out of no where.

 

            “Hey Kaltag!” O-o Star, the darn snitch! “the prisoner is escaping! HEY!”

 

            “This way.” I commanded her.

 

            “Oh.. Okay.” She started following me real close. Good thing Star is absent minded. We were able to get out of their easily.

 

            “We will be safer in Nome, c’mon.” We started making our way towards Nome, and within two hours, we lost Steele’s lackeys and made it to
