seemed to glitter like a thousand suns right above him. Smiling up at the ceiling he walked forward on the damp ground not realizing that he was being watched. Hearing someone splash behind him Blaez quickly turned around and bared his teeth expecting to see a Shangkai wolf standing before him, but what he saw shocked him. It was a black wolf with a white face and blue eyes looking directly at him.
‘How dare you enter the realm of the Night Pack.’ The wolf growled at Blaez who quickly stood back up straight.
‘No listen I’m not part of the Night pack but I know…’Blaez sighed ‘…knew Night the alpha male.’
The ears of the other wolf perked up knowing the name. ‘This still gives you no right to be in here unless Night gave you permission…’
Looking down at the ground Blaez swallowed hard, ‘I’m sorry to tell you this but Night died and so did the rest of the Night Pack.’ Looking back up the wolf who didn’t seem to change their facial expression Blaez looked confused.
‘I know they are. I just wanted to test to see if you would lie to me…’ The wolf sighed as she sat down on the ground. ‘My name is Luna and I live around this side of the mountain, I was an omega to the Night Pack for many years my salvation was this cave.’
Blaez knew that the life of any omega was a hard one, when Nava was in control of his pack they banned the horrible act of someone being the Omega because it was so degrading. Omega’s were treated lower then anyone else just because of birthright. Looking back up the ceiling Blaez who about to speak when the wolf interrupted him.
‘The ceiling is covered in a precious metal, this mountain was once a volcano and it created these beautiful stones. This was one of the greatest secrets of the Night pack, we hoped it would bring us hope and serenity but I see that I was wrong.’ Luna sighed as she looked at Blaez who looked down from the ceiling and also sat down on the ground as a silence came over them the only sound being the dripping water from the roof.
‘Luna I have come to seek an elder who lives on this side of the mountain…’ Blaez started but was interrupted.
‘I am that elder you seek.’
‘Will you help me?’ Blaez asked looking at Luna who looked away.
‘I will not.’
Part 5
Blaez looked taken aback as he quickly said, ‘Why not?’ Slowly standing up Luna looked back at Blaez but didn’t say anything as she slowly began to walk away. Jumping up on to his feet Blaez quickly ran after her till he was standing in front of her making her stop. ‘Please listen to me Luna, The Shangkai wolves have attacked and killed many wolves including the Night Pack you must help or else they’ll find you.’
‘They will not find me here this place is forbidden to any wolf who isn’t of Night Wolf Blood.’ Luna said looking Blaez directly in the eye.
‘These Shangkai wolves don’t do as they are told, they’ve taken over my pack lands and nearly killed my friends. Torren their leader has sent wolves out to search for you if they find you…’ Blaez looking back at Luna who still remained emotionless as she simply walked past him as Blaez looked after her but didn’t say anything. ‘If you won’t help then at least let me help you, let me protect these Night lands, I owe Night something.’ Blaez looked down at the ground as Luna stopped and turned around to face him.
‘I do not have all the answers Blaez…’ Looking up Blaez wondered how she knew his name he hadn’t even mentioned it, ‘but one thing I do know about the Shangkai wolves is that those arrow shaped stripes on their fur are not simply there as a decoration…’ Luna laughed for a moment ‘I know you wonder how I knew your name, me and Night talked many many nights about you, he considered you a friend.’ With that Luna slowly disappeared in to the darkness as Blaez looked after her.
As soon as she was gone it hit him that whilst Night had been alive he and Luna must have been talking, that’s how she knew he had been killed, Night had never returned to these caves and so Luna knew that the reason Night wouldn’t return was because he had been killed.
Turning back around Blaez thought to himself that Luna was right in the fact that every single Shangkai wolf he had seen had these familiar arrow shaped stripes somewhere on their body but he thought it was simply a pattern on their fur he never knew it could be something more important.
Slowly Blaez began to walk forward towards the entrance but before he reached it something on the ground caught his eyes as he looked down. Shimmering in a small pool of water a piece of the ceiling had fallen down in the water it was a crystal clear diamond and sparkled as the moonlight crept in through small holes above him. Looking back to where Luna disappeared he slowly picked it up in his mouth before walking back towards the exit of the mysterious cave.
‘Konnor…Konnor wake up…’ Azure pleaded nudging Konnor who slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her.
‘What is it Azure the sun isn’t even up yet.’ Konnor grumbled as he yawned.
‘Blaez he’s gone!’ Azure said sounding worried as Konnor instantly sat up and turned around noticing that he wad indeed gone.
‘Blaez?’ Konnor yelled out just as Blaez slid down the steep slope and jumped behind Konnor who jumped and turned around and saw him.
‘What happened I thought the Shangkai wolves might have got you.’ Azure said sounding relieved as Blaez put down the diamond on the floor.
‘I found the elder.’ Blaez started.
‘Where is he?’ Konnor asked looking around as though expecting the elder to jump out from any where.
‘Luna was in a cave not far from here and she was just like every other Night Pack wolf I’ve met, except she did help me. She told me the weakness we have been looking for is in the Shangkai wolves coats, those patterns on their fur are not just coat patterns I believe they might be just what we need to defeat them.’
‘This is excellent news!’ Konnor said jumping up.
‘We’re finally going to get our pack lands back and Aleu and the others can come home!’ Azure said smiling up at Konnor, but Blaez looked unsure as he stepped forward.
‘We need to defeat them first, now we better get moving the quicker the others know about this the quicker we can organize something.’ As Blaez finished he slowly began to walk back along the narrow path. Konnor watched him looking a little unsure as Azure walked up beside him.
‘Don’t worry Konnor you’ll be safe.’ Azure smiling as Konnor looked in to her blue eyes and suddenly felt safer as he slowly but surely began to follow Blaez with Azure close behind him.
By the time the three wolves reached the other side of the mountain it was sunrise and even though Blaez had told Konnor not to make to much noise Konnor had obviously not done as he was told as he ran past Blaez in a small shallow cave where Blaez could hear him yelling at everyone to wake up. Turning to Azure who looked angry Blaez laughed ‘I don’t think I’ll ever know someone quite like Konnor.’
The wolves in the cave all looked tired as they walked and saw Blaez who quickly walked up to them.
‘What happened?’ Akela said looking up at Blaez who smiled.
‘Thanks to a Night Pack elder I know how we can take back our lands and so now all we need is a plan and a time of attack.’ When Blaez finished all the wolves looked excited even Keaton who normally didn’t like any ideas thought of by Blaez.
Part 6
Blaez was sitting down looking at his reflection in the water as he thought about the plan he and the others has discussed and he knew that it greatly resembled the one Night had and yet his still turned into a disaster.
He and the others were going to attack at the end of summer which meant that if Blaez failed Aleu and the others would never return home but if he did succeed he knew his fellow pack mates could finally return home.
'What are you doing over here we’re starting training again now.’ Akela said walking up Blaez who turned to look at her and nodded.
‘Don’t you ever get the feeling that something bad is about to happen?’ Blaez said looking up at Akela who simply smiled.
‘Now you’d never guess Blaez but the first time I met you I had that exact feeling.’ Blaez smiled and looked up at Akela as he slowly stood back up and quickly followed her back to the clearing where all the wolves where waiting in the shade escaping the summer sun.
‘Now everyone Night taught me a few things but I am in no way the best fighter out of everyone here…’ the wound on his cheek where Torren had slashed him seemed to hurt for a moment before he quickly continued. ‘So if anyone has any input then please speak out aloud because in a months time we will be facing the Shangkai wolves and we need every last bit of skill we can have.’
