perfectly okay…” Balto smiled.

          “Well…” Jenna interrupted, “Based on me, you don’t look perfectly okay.”

          “Realy…” Balto smiled, “I thought my wounds aren’t serious.”

          Both of Kodi and Jenna chuckled for hearing it. Balto always liked adventure, and for that, he sure must know what the consequences. Everyone began laughing for a moment until they finally stopped. After they nuzzled each other, Jenna and Kodi parted, heading for their home. Instead of going back, Kodi moved to Reina at outside of the broken wooden boat.

          “Hey…” he started, looking at Reina, “I’m sorry for earlier. I had already suspected you before.”

          “Me too…” Reina replied, “I thought you’re the one of those wolves I saw before.”

          “Hey, I don’t look like wolves,” Kodi stood back, “I’m pure husky. Well, half of pure husky.”

          “Maybe you look like a dog…” Reina smiled, “But inside of you, you have some of wolf abilities.”

          “Hmm… Maybe…” Kodi was thinking for a while, “Like great stamina and fast running.”

          “Umm… Well, it might be…” Reina seemed hesitated, “It seems you like running.”

          “I am!” Kodi answered proudly, “I’m the fastest sled dog ever.”

          “Really?” Reina asked unbelievingly.

          “Of course,” Kodi replied, “I’ll show you. Tomorrow, I will come here and show that I’m fast. I’ll challenge you to run.”

          “What?” Reina was surprised, “Run? Challenge me? But…”

          “Tomorrow. Remember that!” Kodi exclaimed, then suddenly running to home.

          Reina was confused for a minute. She never thought someone would challenge her in running. At first, she wanted to reject it. But as soon as that Balto’s son left before she could speak, she didn’t have a chance but to do as his willing. She then sighed, walking slowly to the top of the boat. She really needed a rest now.
