thought she's a wolf, so I stalked her to see what did she do in the town," Glace said.
    "Then, what happened?" Balto asked. "Then, I saw her walked in a house with a strange silver light...," Glace stopped for a while, before continued on her story, "Two things I wondered, first, what she was doing in that house; and the second, what that silver light was."
    "Wait, Glace. I want you to tell me about Aleu, not the silver light," Balto growled.
    "Okay, but it did have some relationship. I spied her from the outside of a house. Suddenly, there was a group of dogs walked into that house too...," Glace stopped with an anxious expression. "Glace? Is there anything wrong?" asked Balto.
    "Your son, Kaon, I think he has something to do with Aleu's disapperance," Glace said. "How?" Balto asked.
    "That silver light, it... it takes anyone who touches it to an unknown place.... And Kaon threw Aleu into it," Glace said. Balto let out a sigh, "I believe you. That really is Kaon," he said.
    "Balto!" Jenna didn't believe her ears. "Jenna, you know how Kaon is, he hates wolves. It isn't a strange thing for him to do that," Balto said. "Oh! Balto," Jenna nuzzled him, "What should we do now?"
    "Well, Glace. How can you know Aleu and Kaon are our daughter and son?" asked Balto.
    "When I saw Kaon and his gang followed Aleu into a house. I eavesdropped them from outside. Then I heard Aleu said 'Kaon. Why are you doing this to me? I'm Aleu, your sister,'" Glace stopped for a while, "That's how I know their names, and that they're siblings. I asked the other dogs in Nome about part-wolf; they said you're the only half-wolf here. So that's how I know they're your son and daughter," said Glace.
    Balto sighed out, "All right, Glace. Will you help us find Aleu?" asked Balto. "Of course I will" Glace said "But where?" she asked. "Somewhere in Alaska. Glace, you wait here. Jenna and I will call Kodi, Tongo, Dingo and Saba for more help," Balto said before he left.


Chapter 4 : A Problem With The Pack.
    Next day in Triassic....
    "Aleu, Aleu, wake up," Sotara woke Aleu up. "Huh? What? Why did you wake me up so early?" Aleu asked. "Early?" Sotara let out a chuckle. "Look outside, Aleu. This is noon already," he said. "Oh! Maybe I'm too tired yesterday," said Aleu. "Here, have something to eat," Sotara put a piece of meat on the ground of the cave.
    After Aleu finished her meal, Sotara walked to her, "Aleu, I want to know something from you," he said. "About the silver object?" Aleu asked, "No, I don't want to know about that, but I want to know who threw you into it," said Sotara. Aleu drew a sigh and said, "My older brother, Kaon, threw me in the silver thing."
    "Your brother!? Why did he do that?" Sotara asked. "Because I look like a wild animal," said Aleu. "Wild animal?" Sotara asked in confusion, because in Triassic, every creatures are wild animals. "Sotara, your world and mine are different; Kaon is not a wild animal, he was adopted by another creature called 'human.' Kaon always sees me as a wolf, and wolves as his enemies," said Aleu.
    "Wolf is a name of a creature you looked like, right?" Sotara asked; Aleu nodded. "And he threw you in that silver thing because he thought you'd die in it, right?" asked Sotara. "Yeah," Aleu murmurred. "And you still calling him brother!?" Sotara asked with a little anger, Aleu nodded slowly. "It's okay Aleu. Now you have nothing to worry, with me, nothing can harm you," said Sotara
    Suddenly, Sotara could smell someone in front of his cave, "Stay quiet, Aleu. There is a stranger," he said and walked to in front of the cave and saw a light-brown female Herrerasaurus stood there.
    "Sotara, right?" a female asked as she saw Sotara. "You know I'm Sotara, so you know this is my cave," Sotara growled. "Yeah, and I also know you help everyone in need," said a female. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" asked Sotara. "I'm Nebbia. I'm here to tell you that, now, my pack is under attack of the Postosuchus," Nebbia said.
    "Hey. Everyone know I'm a lone Herrerasaurus, so how can I go to where your pack live?" asked Sotara. "My pack leader is now calling for volunteers to join the pack, and tomorrow, he will have a pack meeting on midday. I believe you won't deny this, right?" Sotara just nodded slowly. "Oh! I almost forgot! The pack is about four miles away from here to the east.... Okay, I've finished my work here. Hope we'll see you tomorrow," Nebbia said before walked out of Sotara's cave. Sotara let out a sigh, "Finally," he thought.
    "Is there something wrong outside, Sotara?" Aleu asked as she saw Sotara came back inside, Sotara decided to not tell Aleu about a meeting tomorrow, "Nothing Aleu, just a stranger.... Come on, today, I'll show you my world," he said.
    That night, after the valley tour, Sotara and Aleu got back to the cave. "See you at sunrise Aleu," Sotara said from the front of the cave, "What about you?" asked Aleu. Sotara let out a chuckle, "I love to look at the moon alone. You need to rest Aleu, so take a rest, I'll see you inside," he said. "Okay, see you tomorrow," Aleu said and walked into the cave.
    Sotara let out a sigh, "Oh.... What should I do now, if I go without telling her, she may go out and something dangerous might happen to her, but if I tell her, she must ask me to her go and... oh, what will the other Herrerasaurus in the pack do?" he thought. Then he shook his head quickly, "What was I thinking? Now my main thing to do is to protect Aleu, not my fame. All right, I'll tell her in the morning," he thought and walked into the cave.
    Next morning, after Aleu woke up, Sotara walked to her, "Aleu, I have something to tell you," he said. "What is it, Sotara?" asked Aleu. "Today's midday, I have a pack meeting in the east of our cave, you have to wait in the cave until I come back," said Sotara. "But Sotara.... Can't I go with you?" Aleu asked. Sotara let out a sigh, "Aleu, I don't want something happen to you," he said. "Sotara.... With you, nothing can harm me, remember?" Aleu asked, Sotara let out a sigh again, "Okay Aleu, let's go," he said.
    Four hours later, at about four miles away from Sotara's cave, Sotara and Aleu saw Nebbia walked to them, "Nebbia? What are you doing here?" Sotara asked. "I'm going to go to your cave to remind you about the meeting today, but now you've come, so let's...," Nebbia stopped when she saw Aleu on Sotara's back, "Sotara! What's that furry creature on your back!?" she asked in shock and a lot of confusion. "Oh! This is Aleu, she's my friend," Sotara said. "Well Aleu, welcome to Valley of the Moon, Sotara, most of the pack are in the meeting area, just a few left to wait, let's go," Nebbia said and lead the way to the meeting area.
    As Sotara walked into the meeting area, he saw more than thirty Herrerasauruses in that area, and all of them were looking at him, "Here you come, Sotara, the greatest fighter in Valley of the Moon...," one of the Herrerasaurus said loudly, and stopped when he saw Aleu, "What's that furry thing on your back?" he asked. Sotara turned his head to Nebbia, "Who's that Herrerasaurus?" he asked silently. "Sotara, be polite to this one. He is our pack leader, Naga, he can do anything he want in the pack," said Nebbia, Sotara just nodded, turned his head back to Naga, "Uh... her name is Aleu, she's my friend," he said.
    "Really," the leader asked, approched to take a closer look, "from the way she rides you, you, two, look more like...," he moved even closer, enough for him to get his last words right into Sotara's ear, "mates."
    With a low growl of Sotara, Naga backed off, yet he didn't stop making fun of him, "Now tell me Sotara, Do you and that furry creature already have babies. And do your children hatch from their eggs or right out of their mammalian mom like other milk-suckers do?" Laughter bursted off as Naga was saying. Yet, Nebbia, who invited Sotara at first, didn't even show a sign of pleasure; "Naga," she called the pack leader, hoping that her sound would make him know what he was doing; but it didn't work.
    All Naga did was continuing, "Didn't your parents taught you about befriending with animals from other species?" He paused for a short while, "Oh! Silly me, I forget that your parents didn't have a chance to even see your face. As much as I know, their fighting must be very awful. Just one blow from that Postosuchus sent them to heaven, didn't it?"
    "Naga, stop it," another trial from Nebbia, but again, it'd gone futile.
    "So, this is why you all want me here? To make fun of me and my parents? I've had enough. Go find help elsewhere. If I stay here any longer, your leader may not leave this place breathing," Sotara roared, stomping his way back to his cave.


Chapter 5 : Sotara's past.
    "Sotara? Are you all right?" Aleu asked Sotara silently after they arrived their cave, "Yeah, I'm all right. I'm sorry I roared in the meeting, but I'm okay now, everything is all right," said Sotara. "So..., can you tell me something?" asked Aleu. "What is it?" Sotara asked. "Can you tell me about your past?" asked Aleu.
    Sotara let out a sigh, "Two years ago, at the base of the highest mountain in Valley of the Moon. There was a large Herrerasaurus pack, living on a nesting groud full of vegetation and food, they all lived in peace. Until one day, a huge pack of Postosuchus named 'Fogo' had planned to rule over Valley of the Moon, he would start on the largest pack, and that, that Herrerasaurus pack is the one. Hiding in the shadow of
