wolf he saved to fend for itself.

Star knew another wolf had been near him by the fresh tracks around his body.  Star also knew it would be pointless for him to try and find the wolf because it's tracks went straight into the river where they would be untraceable.

He took a walk in the surrounding woods hoping to find some landmark to help him determine his location.  Star had no idea how far he had traveled down the river so he knew he could be anywhere.  His searching was going slowly and he almost gave up.

It was right when he was going to surrender when he came across an all-too familiar area.  It was the clearing where he was abducted and where his life had forever changed.  He quickly followed the path he had taken to get there all the way back to his home territory.

Star was speechless.  Nobody had responded to any of his calls when he arrived back home.  He searched his whole packs territory looking for any signs of his fellow wolves.  Everybody was gone.  In some places Star could find blood and what looked like the scars of a battle being fought but there weren't even any bodies.

Star was all alone.  He walked up to a tree and collapsed against its trunk in utter defeat.

The end.
