The full moon shone brightly with its surrounding sky covered in diamond stars. Rex sat outside his home and stared at the shining circle in the night sky. Soul sat next to him and also watched.
‘ It’s beautiful. Just like you.’ Rex said as he gave Soul a friendly glance.
‘ Thank you. I can see why wolves are so attracted to it,’ Soul said as she gave him a replying glance. Rex then gave Soul a look that seemed familiar to her. ‘ No Rex. I’m not doing it, not here. Someone will hear us, like the whole town.’
‘ OK. Lets do it outside of town so they’ll think that it’s just a pack of wolves.’ Rex said as he stood up. Soul did too and then they both ran to the outskirts of town. Once they reached the mine shack, they stopped and rested, but Rex didn’t. Instead he threw his head back and howled loudly. Soul looked at him and gave up. She sat up and howled too. Rex soon stopped though.
‘ Did you hear that?’ He asked as he lifted the right side of his head. Soul stopped too and listened.
‘ Yeah. It sounds familiar. Who do you think it is?’ Soul asked.
‘ I think I can translate,’ Rex said as he listened carefully. ‘ Rex… my… friend… who… stays…in…the…light! It’s Storm.’
‘ Storm? Why would he be here? Unless…he came to do something with you. What did you do?’ Soul asked as she became angry and worried.
‘ I called him last night and told him to bring the pack here so that I can tell them that I have decided to spend a week with them.’ Rex said slowly.
‘ Why did you do that?’ Soul asked.
‘ I just, just want to know how my ancestors lived and if I went with them then I would know. Humans say that if you want to learn, you have to do action and not do nothing about it.’ Rex explained.
‘ Tell them to, to stay here for the night and that you’ll decide in the morning.’ Soul said as she gently hit herself in the fore head. Rex then howled a reply to Storm. Soon six wolves came from the forest. Storm and Blue Sun were the first ones to come out, then Lightning Blaze with Thunder Claw, finally Grey Heart and Star Field came out. All six ran over to Rex and Soul. Soon everyone was saying hi to his or her friends.
‘ Where are we gonna stay for the night?’ Storm asked.
‘ Everyone!’ All the wolves turned their heads to Rex. ‘Follow me.’
Rex then walked into town making sure that no one saw them. Once they reached his house, they stopped.
‘ Sleep by my house. No one will see you as wolves, just strays. I’ll be back in the morning.’ Rex said as he headed for the door.
‘ I’ll be at the house round the corner if you need me.’ Soul said as she headed for her house. Once Rex was inside, he went to his basket and rested.
‘ What were you doing?’
‘ Mom, I was just spending some time with Soul.’ Rex fibbed. He knew that his mother shouldn’t know until the morning. He closed his eyes as Fly walked to her basket.
‘ Wolverine: Fear and weakness.’
‘ Wolverine? What does that mean?’ Rex asked.
‘ You shall encounter many creatures on your journey, but the Wolverine shall finish it. It feared by most, scared by few, and defeated by little. The Wolverine will bring great change to you.’
‘Mom told me that the Northern Lights did that. What can a Wolverine do?’ Rex asked.
‘ Many things can make changes in the world. Some are normal, but many can do anything.’
