Balto : War Chief
† The Apocalypse †
The morning was dark and cold. The town of Nennana has received several telegraph messages from surrounding towns about horrible events happening. Somewhat like people dying of sickness, murders, earthquakes, and extremely bad weather. Nennana was about to message Nome when the ground trembled. The telegraph office held still as the small earthquake took place. Once the trembling had seised, Nennana messaged Nome. Hoping whatever was about to unfold would stay away from Nennana and Nome.
It was snowing lightly, and Balto was under his blanket watching the snow fall. He enjoys playing with Kodi and Jenna in the snow, but he wishes for warm weather instead of cold weather.
Balto stretched and walked out into the falling snow. A flake landed on his nose. Balto laughed and walked to Jenna's.
Balto walked into Rosie's house, and looked for Jenna. He was trying to be quiet so they would not know he was in. Balto was walking toward the kitchen when he overheard her parents talking.
Rosie's Dad - Did you hear about the events that have been happening to surrounding towns?
Rosie's Mom - No, what about it?
Rosie's Dad - White Mountain had an earthquake 3 nights ago. Nennana had a small one last night, Anchorage had tornado warnings, and who knows what we will get.
Rosie's Mom - I dont think we will get anything.
Balto was confused about all this, and he bagan looking for Jenna. He found her eating some beef jerky Rosie had given her. Jenna looked at Balto as he aproched.
Jenna - What are you doing here? Follow me.
Jenna swallowed her beef jerky, and jumped out a window, and Balto followed
Jenna - You know you could get hurt for going in a house?
Balto - yea, but it would be worth it to see you.
Jenna chuckled
Jenna - Well, why have you come to see me?
Balto - Well, i just wanted to know if you would like to come walking with me?
Jenna - Sure i will.
The two walked out of town, and into the forest. Jenna followed Balto to a little waterfall.
Jenna - Waterfalls are so beautiful
Balto - They are. Say Jenna, how about staying at my home tonight?
Jenna - Ok. I will be over tonight
Balto - Great. I will be waiting
Balto and Jenna finished their walk, and went to Balto's home. He prepared the boat so Jenna would be comforatble. Balto saw that there was only 1 blanket, so he let Jenna use it, exposing Balto to the cold weather.
Jenna : Are you sure you don't want the blanket Balto?
Balto : Im sure. You should have it tonight because your probobly not used to cold weather.
Jenna : True
They went to sleep quickly, and woke up the next morning.
Balto walked down onto the beach, and Jenna followed. Balto chuckled, and threw some snow at Jenna. She laughed, Balto and Jenna got into a snow fight. Jenna won. Balto walked her home that evening, and played with Rosie a bit.
Kodi was returning with the mail from white mountain just at the time Balto was returning home. He stoped by Kodi and the rest of the dogs.
Kodi : Hi dad.
Balto : Morning son
The musher came over, and untied Kodi from the sled, letting Jodi walk to Balto.
Balto : Kodi, have you seen anything weird from your mail run? I have heard of some horrible things happening in other towns.
Kodi. Oh yes. When we were traveling through White Mountain, the town was torn to shreds. I don’t know why, it just was. Juno was also in pieces. But i don’t know what caused it.
Balto : Well, i hope none of this happens to us.
Kodi : I know. We would be in big trouble if it did.
Balto led Kodi to his boat, and pulled out some food for him. Kodi devoured it in almost it felt like 6 seconds.
Balto : I can see you were hungry
Kodi : Yea. I Was. My musher gave the team just a little food for breakfast. (Silence for a while) Dad, would you be ok with me falling in love with someone?
Balto : Why wouldn’t I be?
Kodi : Well, i like someone.
Balto : (Balto smiled) here is a tip. Give the girl anything she wants.
Kodi : Ok.
Kodi ran off into town, back to his team. Balto watched as Kodi trampled through the snow. Balto wished Kodi could find someone that he would fall in love with. Who ever it was, he wished she would treat Kodi well, and that Kodi would treat her well.
Balto went into the forest to hunt some food. He found a deer, and scarfed it down quickly. While he was eating, the ground rumbled a bit. This startled Balto. Balto grabbed some meat, and ran back to Nome.
He saw Jenna playing in her backyard with Rosie, then Balto returned to his boat.
Balto felt a rumble in the ground as he approached the totem pole.
Balto : Whatever is going on, I hope it ends before it starts.
Balto walked back to his boat, and Boris was moping. Balto sneaked up behind him, quietly.
Balto : ABOOGA BOOGA BOOGA
Balto startled Boris.
Boris : Mercy! Balto don’t do that!
Balto laughed hard. He walked down to the shallow water to go swimming.
That night, Balto was having a dream about Kodi. He dream’s about Kodi, and the sled dog team. Kodi is the lead dog. They are running in the snow when the earth rumbles, and the musher stops the dogs. An earthquake then occurs, and the ground below them cracks open. They fall, and fall until their screams cant be heard.
Balto woke up with a hard jerk. He was sweating, and breathing hard. Balto then knew what was going to happen. He drank some water, then ran to Jenna's house to tell her what he had dreamed of.
Jenna : Why do you think you had a dream like that about Kodi?
Balto : I dont know, but i think i might have a clue.
Jenna : Well, it is not going to happen. It was just a dream.
Balto : I hope so.
Balto talked with Jenna for a bit, then went wandering the streets. He was walking beside the telegraph office when he looked to the other side of the streets at a weird colored dog. Balto was confused because he had never seen this dog before. The dog ran into an alley, and Balto quickly followed it. Balto saw the dog standing in the middle of the alley. The dog stood straigh up, not looking at anything exept for the ground ahead of it.
Balto : Um......Hello?
The dog spoke to Balto, still looking the other direction
The Dog : It's a scary thought isn't it. To not know. Not to know why you are here on Earth. What is our purpose? Why have we been created? It is a mind boggiling question.
The dog turned to Balto. He had light blond fur, and bright blue eyes.
The Dog : Until you know your purpose. You have a quest to find it out. It usualy takes humans, animals, and dogs a long time to find their purpose. But i know everyone's purpose, fate, and destiny.
Balto : Who are you? (Balto was confused)
The Dog : Arconala. That is my name. Yours is Balto
Balto : How do you know my name?
Arconala : I know all the names, events in history, and secrets. You have already heard to much.
Arcocala's eyes began to glow white. Then a bolt of energy came from him, and wamed into Balto, shooting him out of the alley. All of the people and dogs saw the energy bolt, and Balto flying back. They ran to the alley, and saw nothing. People surrounded the unconscious Balto. Mr. Conner came to Balto, picked him up, and took Balto to his office. Balto didn’t move, breathe, or twitch. Mr. Conner laid Balto on a dog bed that he had bought. For several days, he let people come and see Balto, even though Balto didn’t move. Rosie knew Jenna and Balto loved each other, so she let Jenna go see Balto. She led Jenna to the room, and then went with her mom and dad somewhere. When Jenna saw Balto. She was speechless. Jenna laid beside him and cried. A tear landed on Balto's paw. Balto's eyes opened swiftly, and he gasped for air. Mr. Conner saw this from his desk, and He rushed to Balto. Mr. Conner rubbed Balto on the head easily, and Balto tried to open his eyes so he could see Jenna. Jenna laid beside him as Mr. Conner brought food to him.
After Balto was better, Mr. Conner led Balto outside. Balto ran t the alley to were he had seen Arconala. The alley was empty. Balto noticed a small necklace on the ground. He picked it up, and ran back to his boat.
Boris was moping when Balto brought the necklace back.
Boris : What the heck is that thing you have Balto?
Balto : (drops the necklace in front of Boris) I don’t really know. I just found it.
Boris : What do you think it is worth?
Balto : That doesn’t matter right now. I just want to know what this really is.
Boris : Give it to Jenna
Balto : Why would I give it to Jenna?
Boris : Because it is shiny. Doesn’t Jenna like shiny things?
Balto : Yea, why?
Boris : Give it to her.
Balto : I might just do that.\
Balto picked up the necklace, and ran off into the woods.
Balto stopped at a small pond, and put the necklace down.
Balto : Why are so many things happening, and who is Arconala?
When Balto was done talking to himself, he laid down. He noticed the necklace glow. He stood up, and backed up. The necklace began to grow brighter. Balto noticed an image in the ruby on the necklace. Balto walked closer to the necklace and saw Kodi, and the rest of the sled team. Balto then remembered his dream of Kodi and the earthquake. Balto grabbed the glowing necklace, and ran out of town, onto Kodi’s team mail route.
He ran, and did not stop. Balto looked everywhere for Kodi and the team. But as he passed a tree, he could hear barking.
Balto : Kodi…
Balto felt a small rumble under his paws. Balto ran as fast as he could toward the barking he heard. In about 6 seconds, he could see Kodi, and Kirby, and the others. The rumble under his paws grew harder. Then a cracking sound came.
Balto : Kodi !
Kodi, and the rest of the dog team heard Balto’s cry, and stopped to look at him. Then, the dog

necklace is a touch of paganism that would be best removed
from any story based on Christianity), and pleased that you
removed Muk and Luk's little "prank." However I must warn
you that this story does violate the rules concerning religious
content, which I'm afraid apply to Christianity as much as
any other religion. I think it would be wise to relocate
this to another website with less restrictive rules before
someone less forgiving gets at it.
