An unexpected goodbye
The wind blew sharply, dragging the winter snow, fall, closed its doors while the trees were covered with thick whiteness. Lost in the woods a dog team ran their way back home.
Leading the team headed to Kodiak skill, his red coat stood out against the white snow, which began stepped up its fall.
-Kodi, we must hasten He heard a voice behind him, watching the other dogs around with concern.
'Do not worry guys, no matter what happens, I'll take them safely home,' said lead with pride, while accelerating the pace.
Far away in the village, the wind seemed to affect the audience who were discussing a matter of great importance.
Inside the mayor's office a group of people demonstrating against the new orders from the federal government.
- How can they think that's sensible, we need our dogs to the sleds, said one attendee.
-No one will touch their dogs, but any animal without registration will be consigned to the authorities said the agent showing the order.
'Well, she is wasting her time because there are no stray dogs, I answer another.
And what about the dog I saw on the boat this morning, Is it any of you? He continued the subject.
'It is He heard the cry of a young blonde, who seemed to be reaching the place, Balto is my dog, I adopted when I arrived in Nome, the boy continued.
'Then I hope you have a certificate certifying his words,' replied the agent.
-I have it said the youngster calmly.
'Then tomorrow will be the review, until then, ended the agent out of the establishment
- Did you hear that, why will they implement such a measure? Murmured the people concerned.
Outside the town the hybrid dog / wolf howled with joy preparing to receive the sled since his son had become the leader of the team Balto walked outside to await the arrival of the group.
-The snow is pelting Balto, you better go home, exclaimed Jenna who was right next to his companion.
-Do not worry Jenna, I can wait a little longer, but you should go back now, 'said Balto still watching the road.
-Okay, we'll see later, do not stay long in the open-ended the dog back home.
Sir, it is obvious that these people are not willing to cooperate She heard the statement of another federal who watched the couple from the village.
He that dog is a purebred, it is dangerous to the place, his boss argued coolly.
And that, if the famous Balto, we can never do anything, I assure the assistant pointing the rifle towards your goal.
I did not know he was the famous hero, his figure resembles a wild animal, on the banks of the forest, 'said the chief
'I do not believe-ended sniper rifle without moving the
'Then, why do you point? - Ask the senior officer.
-I do not want to live in misery with the minimum wage all my life, 'said the assistant.
-Then do not say more-
... ..
-Kodi, Kodi, Did you hear the howling? Asked Dusty from the back of the mail group.
'Yes, Dad is waiting for the semi-answered - Husky with joy, it was obvious that his father was proud and he did not disappoint, with a howl replicating itself.
'I see, I see,' cried another of the dogs to notice the silhouette of the hybrid on the outskirts of the forest.
'It's now or never ordered the federal sighting the sled with his binoculars.
Balto to see his son ran to the speed, both used to compete the last mile of the trip, to see who was fastest.
'Now if Dad will win decisively affirmed Kodi
-I want to see son finished the dog / wolf approaching the group. A small leap to catch up to the sled was enough for the dog being hit.
A sound swept the sky, resembling the lightning strike, dogs stopped suddenly frightened group sled crashing into a snowdrift. Kodiak tried to maneuver to avoid the impact, but to no avail.
Desperate noted how his father collapsed a few feet from where he was, the clarity of the white turned a crimson, his eyes seemed to lose its luster gold.
- No, Dad! - Kody cried in despair.
Had long seen what bullets could do to living beings, depriving them of life in seconds. Firearms were a terrible tool for humans, but were only for protection, Right, just for that ...
The townspeople hearing the commotion rushed to the scene followed by the agents, who maintained that frown on their faces.
Balto difficulty noted with the silhouette of his son, who so blurry shouted her name over and over again.
'I'm sorry son, your mother cares for the dog thought imagining how his beautiful companion
The pain seemed to fade by the minute, covering all sensation in a cloak of darkness. A small smile lit up the face of falling into a quiet goodbyes to tragic.
- Dad! - The tears were lost in the fur of the young Husky who kept pulling the tie that imprisoned the sleigh down, unable to do anything Kodiak was limited to howl in pain as his father vanished.
The driver of the sled up with difficulty without understanding what had happened, he shook the snow from their clothes looking for the source of the howling.
-Kodi, Kodi exclaimed looking for the reason of such behavior.
-Someone fired, but ... what? He finally said, overlooking the skyline of the hybrid. The marks were obvious, the shot was right on target.
Balto-whispered, approaching the dog, why? He questioned as his hand passed over the soft fur.
- What happened? Asked Rosy's father, who was ahead of everyone else.
'Someone shot Balto replied the owner of Kodi.
- How are you? Said the man bending over to check the fallen.
-There is no point doing something interrupted the voice of the federal, alienating men, The lieutenant is a very efficient, I'm sure the wound is mortal.-continued
- Why did it, what right takes away a life? Said the youngster who without hesitation jumped on the sniper.
The petty officer countered that started a fight, the two men toured the snow while sending several shots.
-Stop-ordered the mayor to no avail, until men clutching both sides.
- Miserable murderer, 'the pilot shouted angrily trying to break.
- Tonto, attacking an officer is a felony, 'argued the other following the lead of its counterpart.
The rest of the dogs of Nome, ran to their owners, waiting to see what was happening.
Balto The last thing you saw was the fight between humans, just before strong hands lifted him off the frozen ground.
...
Chapter 2
A new path
-We regret what happened sorry Jenna exclaimed Doc, the old dog tried to console the Husky, the events of the afternoon had been devastating for the people.
-Who would imagine that the death of Balto would mumble something so terrible Nikki from a corner-years ago would have celebrated by that fact, but now ... -
Well Steele will be celebrating sure wherever you are ', says Star
Kaltag Kodi looked at who was accompanied by his own team, Balto's son looked devastated, which makes sense, since he had witnessed everything while he was unable to help his father through the harness of the sled.
I do not understand why those men did that? Cried Dusty
-The only crime committed by my father was a descendant of wolves, never hurt anyone, unlike Kodiak-I reply angrily, 'Men are treacherous, continued.
Son, not all men are like that, and you know, 'said Jenna.
'Then why, he saved the people and change them ... The young Husky was unable to finish his sentence, since it invaded the image of his father on the floor, with that smile of farewell.
'I, I can not stay here-ended, before running the place.
'It's difficult, but must learn to overcome it,' said Doc
'Things are not well-Rosy's mother said as he tended the wounds of the young blond-These officers abused their authority-
'I know her husband replied love looking out the window.
The dark sky contrasted with the beautiful colors created by the aurora borealis.
Kodi walked to the boat, where the mantle of his father still lay on the wet surface.
Dad exclaimed, noticing the beautiful array of colors that marked the sky with a spectacular contrast.
- Is it for you that the sky glows so brightly tonight?, Asked the Wind, accompanying his words with simple howl.
...
'It's incredible that people react so aggressively after what happened,' said a young officer as he carried some provisions in a vehicle.
-Do not put too much weight, remember that we have to leave the car later, I comment your boss looking at the box containing the prize.
- What could you expect these people admired the dog, but ultimately there was nothing they could do if he was dead, the man continued with his hand touching the lid with holes.
Do not worry boy, for when all will be well-whispered.
He'll be fine, it was only a scratch, which would have noticed if not for the silly reaction that piloto.-says the sniper.
And the blood, well that was a breeze, a tranquilizer and a bullet can do a lot of paint-finished packing the rifle.
-Get out of here, 'said the leader up to the vehicle.
The truck left the snowy streets of Nome, carrying more than memories.
Kodiak observed from the boat as these murderers are marching away from the people, it was almost impossible to contain his anger against those guys, but something else caught her attention, a large wooden box with a series of holes completely aligned ridge between both packed luggage.
- Holes? He said the dog - Could it be that, Kodi, stop talking nonsense, was chided, are only an aching heart desires for the loss of a loved one.
... ..
Days Later ...
-Hey, wake up,
-Come up perro/lobo-
Balto could hear that voice in the distance, which insisted on calling like ... Steele?
Opening his eyes a little trouble with the dog could see the face of the Malamute inches from him.
- Did I died and I'm in hell? She asked trying to remember the hybrid as it came to that place, whatever. A sharp pain began assaulting one of its sides, remembering what happened.
-Kodi, Jenna cried trying to get up, but the Malamute avoided it with a soft touch.
- Steele's really you? Finally asked Balto.
- How did you get here? - Replica Alaska.
Well, for starters do not know where it is here, 'said the dog / wolf for the first time paying attention to your surroundings.
-It would be better not to know, Steele replied, starting to his side while resting his head between his legs, was until then that he began to notice Balto those marks on the body of the Malamute, the scars are hidden under the coat a bit, but were clearly to have it so close.
- What happened? Murmured the hybrid concerned.
'Not much really, just an occasional bite, it is better to be dead,' said the dog, I guess I was lucky, some go and do not last more than a week.
- How long you been here? - Balto answered fully understanding what the other dog was talking about.
'Well, actually not much, a couple of months, I bet my last owner in a fight and ends here, go way to end my life, it's a shame no one will remember the racing champion who once was, it is in the past and before you say something, it was partly my fault, if you had not come do not know what would have happened.
'I thought you hated me, said the semi-wolf
-Heh, heh, heh, yeah, well not anymore, I believe that fate has given me a good lesson, I guess I deserved it, but you should instead be at home. With Jenna.
-Everyone in Nome think I'm dead, I answer Balto,-Some officers shot me, I fell right in front of my son
-I just hope that this well-Kodiak
-If you will be safe as you replied Steele
-It is strange talk to you this way Balto-Continuous' Apparently this was a good thing.
I do not think that is so good, but thanks-finished black and white canine closing their eyes to try to sleep, 'Take time and get some rest-
....
In Nome ...
The days were still going on, but things did not improve for Kodi after this terrible loss, depression had gripped his mother who was confined only to mourn in your home without letting anyone else see him.
Kodiak went every day to wait outside the place, expecting to see her without success.
'Come on mom, I know you're there, please tell me the husky-called no avail.
- Still nothing? Asked his friend Dusty approaching.
'Not yet, I have tried everything, but she does not talk, I'm very concerned, I lost my father and I do not want to lose my mother-Contest Kodi sadly.
'Sooner or later have to leave, just needs some time alone,' said the dog trying to encourage his teammate.
'I hope so Kodiak ended sadly.
Kirby watched from afar thoughtfully-Kodi It's terrible what you are facing right now, I wish I could do anything to help He said, Balto-ray, why you had to leave that way? Asked the ex - leader equipment, preparing to return when the sound of footsteps made him stop.
- Who's there? Asked the dog Amiel.
- What are you doing in my father's house? - Replica a female voice.
- What are you talking, are you the daughter of Balto, show-Order Kirby seriously.
The figure of a wolf in shades of brown and gray was present to light.
'I'm Aleu, Balto and Jenna's daughter, I come from a distant place to visit my father, what are you doing at home?-Questioned the wolf coolly.
Do not try to fool me, you're a wolf, not a mixed-argument the dog with the same tone.
- Do not you know that sometimes looks can be deceiving? Said Aleu reducing the distance between them, demand to know where my father went on a more menacing.
-If you really are who you say you should talk to your brother and not me, 'replied Kirby
- My brother, what of all? Asked the wolf
-Me-He heard the voice of Kodi from the side, the semi - husky had seen the figure of Aleu from afar. At first he thought was his father, but it was surprising to find his sister who had left long ago to join the wolves. Kodi never heard the whole story, but I knew it was all a flight unjustified.
The half-breed brother watch her quietly, 'It's good to see you again Kodiak-commented.
- What are you doing here? Asked the semi-husky without leaving your place, 'Because I do not think you came just to say hello, especially after so long.
'I had dreams argued Aleu.
-If you are concerned the fate of our father, We regret to inform you quickly replied late, the young red-haired.
- What do you mean? Said Aleu.
He notes that have not paid attention to my words Claimed Kodi.
-Kodiak, why you act so, why do you say that? Did you see him dead? - The wolf defended the semi-aggressive at the tone of his brother.
- Sure I saw him was at his side, 'replied the canine
'You must be a mistake, argued the security mixed with insurmountable.
Aleu-True I am the one who was there, and I'm the one in error, so sarcastic Kodi finished before running off towards the village without waiting for a response from her sister
-I know everyone says there is nothing I could do, but I'm not so sure, is blame the dog - What makes me feel this way? He continued in his mind stopping its passage, the words of her sister had gone deeper than he imagined scenes that night returned to his mind, like an old tape to be played back.
There's nothing to the contrary-whispered
The image of a box with holes was uploaded to the vehicle by officers who were in a hurry to disappear from the site.
'Nothing, Aleu is who is in error, she was not there, was repeated.
The look of triumph in his eyes accompanied the men to continue to highlight the box to look at the old movie.
'I've been a fool exclaimed raising his face to the sky to perceive the darkness of night.
- Are not you there right? Asked with no response, a soft breeze gently rocked his coat, as if something or someone tries to tell who was right.
Kokiak closed her eyes slowly, letting the wind play with form, as he prepared for what the future might bring to the decision just taken.
I'm not going to abandon you when you need me more, once I thought it best to stick with my team and stay home, but I'm sure this is right. In addition, Kirby will do a good job here
Determined the mestizo took one last look his people to begin their journey to a new path.

Chapter 3
Difficult Moments
The sounds were terrible, which did not help at all to the nerves of all the dogs waiting their turn locked in separate cells in a continuous habitation. For the hybrid would be the first fight, although it was recently recovered from a small wound, had been selected to fight.
'Listen, they've brought a couple from Germany, said one of the prisoners with obvious concern in his voice.
'That's nothing, I heard that if you had a street race that is worse than any race, part Doberman, Boxer, said another part.
No, you do not know what is terrible, you've signed up a half-wolf dog in this tournament, as I know is terrible, with yellow eyes just to see them fail to paralyze and fangs sharper than a knife interrupted a third.
- In truth, what is your name?-Asked other dogs attracted by the comment.
His name is as terrible as he answered the dog
- What is it? - Asked the other group, Balto and Steele had not intervened in the conversation, but clearly listened to feedback from its rivals.
His name is Death coldly by their lineage, from a pack of wolves and murderers.
Most dogs trembled to hear the news, with the exception of two friends who simply laughed upon hearing the comment.
-Ha, ha, ha, ha, I can not believe I exclaim Balto Steele imagining a vicious wild wolf, an image unlikely in real life.
- I can not believe believe that? Finally asked, - has been the most ridiculous thing, Tell me Death has seen some cold, you know how it is? - Continuous.
No, no one has lived to tell another dog, I reply.
'Then how can fear? Exclaimed finally speaking Balto.
-I seriously doubt that such a death of ice or whatever is so terrible, he said quietly.
- How can you tell? Asked the others in an annoyed tone.
'That's true, new-continued one more. But before they could respond Balto and Steele men opened the door of the room, carrying a couple of dogs, one was dropped on the floor, while another was treated by another subject.
The canines were silent at the time, scenes like these were too shocking, even for them.
'There's nothing you can do for your eye,' said the man taking the other injuries.
- What about the other dog? Asked the first subject.
'There's nothing you can do for him,' replied the man, or let this observation in a Continuous-empty areas.
Another young couple entered the room with a wad of cash in hand, good doc, this is your hand, and this is what we gain-said.
Wait for start-best, now comes the Alaskan Malamute Framework against Sam-Doberman
'If they say that these two are very good-says Doc Closing your kit, one of subjects who initially had come with him, taking him from the dog there. Another simply ignored it, leaving their fate.
The door closed behind him, leaving the prisoners alone with their thoughts, all his wounded companion watched as he fought to survive with difficulty breathing.
The door opened again, but this time the current owner was Marcus Steele and Balto now.
Road to the cell Malamute, pulling on a leash and muzzled.
'It's your turn, said placing the device with skill, without allowing the Alaska hiciese any sudden movement.
'Come,' said the man walks away with Steele.
The mestizo forms disappear watch that big door.
-As I have heard that Doberman is really dangerous, even this in this room it would be very dangerous for us, muttering some glancing at the dog / wolf who continued in the same position without getting up.
...
Kodi walked through the forest alone, many feared dogs through those roads alone due to wild animals like wolves and bears, among others.
Kodi-plan was to follow a trail to travel to the nearest town, in this case White Mountain, once there look for some sign to tell him what course to take.
Near him, followed him Aleu hiding in the forest vegetation.
- Where are you now Kodiak?-Thought.
Kodi knew someone else was his trail, but made no attempt to make contact with his shadow.
-Surely it is Aleu-thought, but still was not ready to talk to her, so I choose to continue without stopping.
...
Steele was in the middle of the arena, his master held his leash tightly as he waited for his opponent.
People were screaming with excitement as betting slips waving, Steele could not understand clearly what everyone shouted, as the sound reached a level that would hurt his ears.
The opposite door opened, Sam finally showing his famous Doberman.
'Come Darkness, show that fluffy what a real dog fight,' said the man makes releasing your dog, Marco did the same thing before running to a safe place outside the arena.
- Acabal Steele, 'cried his master
Darkness rushed Steele who reached to dodge the bite, launching its own counterattack.
I do not want to fight anymore-
'But I do not want to die, I will not end up abandoned at the entrance to that dark room, suffering the death while waiting to pick me up relieving my pain.
The vicious look of Darkness tells your opponent that there would be no pity, licking his fangs protruding from its mouth.
You're dead, He saw the Doberman Alaska pouncing on him.
Steele moved with speed to dodge the attack, but was not fast enough, Darkness bit her back with force shifting the soft skin of another dog for the malamute that was not the first time a dog attack thinking that way , so he had time to reply with a bite directed at the bottom of his opponent, Doberman dropped its prey, heading toward the neck of Alaska, which showing ability to turn with their own teeth.
That will not be easy, I assure you exclaim Steele really annoying.
People in the stands began to cry with renewed strength, while others began to move through the crowd collecting money.
- Another bet? He asked the black and white dog. The attitude of humans also caught the attention of the Doberman who stopped for a moment without attacking watching people screaming around you.
The arena doors were opened again to allow another couple of dogs enter the fight.
Darkness came on the side of Rock A Rottweiler trained for that type of situation, which showed the same tone black with coffee that his teammate.
-Great, as if one were not enough, thought the Malamute licking his wound, 'Now there are two.
You are alone-not-says Steele Balto approaching his friend, Alaska thoughtful note to his partner did not know if happy to have him on your side or worry.
-You have never shown your side ... well you know what I mean whispered the malamute.
'I know, but do not worry-end by the mestizo.
Rock darkness and walked in a circle around their new targets, people continued shouting and waving their hands, this would be a battle of 4, something rarely seen.
Balto watch carefully as these people seemed to enjoy that terrible spectacle, turning her attention to her stalkers watching analytically watching every move.
Steele-Listen carefully, if we as a team that can support out-mumble.
'You have my support, I answer the other
Dark and Rock began their movement by jumping on their opponents, the first Balto elusive, telling his friend to do the same, both ran in different directions, to cross in the center, upset lunged doberman dog / wolf without knowing that his opponent was so dangerous.
Balto reach the foot of Darkness, leaving him tied up in seconds. Rock ignore completely focusing on his teammate Steele, both canines and bites Garraza throw jump continuously. Darkness tried to grab the neck of the mestizo, but Balto turn just in time to get a bite on its tail, the pain was constant, but not as intense as it could have been receiving it elsewhere in your body, released a disturbing hybrid against darkness reaching new bite his neck.
Stop now and you-let-live-Threat dog / wolf with an unusual tone for him.
'No,' exclaimed the Doberman with difficulty, 'Maybe I die, but your friend will too-Argument tone madness and sadism.
Balto no opportunity to reason with Darkness, ended his attack.
The figure of the short-haired dog remained motionless, without signs of life.
The mestizo went to jumping on Rock Rottweiler who had cornered Steele on one side, the dog felt the weight of the semi-wolf spin on his back knocking the mestizo while launching a coup against the eye of the hybrid.
Balto back to feel the impact, his eyes darkened blood, leaving him semi-blind in a citation of extreme danger.
Steele on the other hand I take the time to Rock hitting full, dropping sharply.
The groan emitted by the dog indicated that something had been damaged by the impact.
People saw what happened increasing the volume of their cries, pushing for a better view of events.
- Death Cold, Cold Death! - Repeated drawing Balto.
The feeling of anger against all that was alien to people for the canine, but it was impossible for him to contain blood from his wound, continued to set the floor slowly, but the pain seemed to have vanished with the adrenaline the battle.
'We must go now Steele finally ordered the hybrid, because he was tired of this sickening spectacle.
The confusing as observed Malamute dog / wolf jumped the fence around them with ease, using the forms of their opponents as a ramp.
People stuck in their bets too slow to react noticing the presence of the hybrid until it fell right between them.
Seconds later, people started running in terror from pushing. Chaos gripped the present creating pandemonium at the scene.
- Salta Steele! Cries Balto, He that these hurt, but if you stay here you die-
The Alaskan Malamute knew that after the chaos there would be no chance of survival if Setting localized, so I choose to jump.
...
Kodi while running at full speed to escape a pack of wolves which did not seem friendly.
- Catch him! - Shouted one of them, probably the leader.
Kodiak continue until you reach a cliff.
-There is no escaping dog-says one of the wolves.
-If you're dead meat-assure the other
I shall not die without a fight, said the dog standing on the defensive.
The wolf looked at him without replying, the wind began to blow again, but no one moved. Kodi had heard that packs together to attack a single target, so it remained alert without even moving.
-Many in your position would have preferred to jump into the void-interrupted one of them ahead of the rest., As dark as the night stood out from the rest.
-I am the son of Balto and I can not leave his name wrong, 'he replied proudly canine changing its position on a firmer tone.
Alpha smiled comment, I see that courage is not only foolish, but honor I hear your words, 'I say,' That is rare among dogs, but you may not be around a dog.
'It's true what you say-I say without showing traces of Kodiak submission.
-I will give you the opportunity to defend yourself, a trial would not be fair if we listened to your testimony of the leader's gaze fell on his companions, who did not object.
Why invade our lands? Finally asked.
-Solo was passing, I find my father, who was captured by humans, 'replied the dog hair crimson.
The rest of the herd remained silent, unable to contradict his Alfa.
- Why should I believe your words?-I question the apparent leader husky.
-I was present at the time that these men opened fire against my father, only to appear ... ... a wolf, and I could not help him, he was there waiting for me, but for me he would be with my mother in this Kodi moment anxiously replied, her crystal eyes reflected the pain of his own fault.
-There is not much we can do with the weapons cause terror-Said the leader of the pack, walking among his people, - Many of us have seen what they can do with them! - Continuing in a louder tone, - They do not lie-Discuss the dog - Your look has shown me the truth I finish going on between the rest of the group.
-We will let this dog go in peace, I direct the herd accept their leader's words down their heads.
Retiring with these words.
Kody was left standing while the other group members moved away following the example of Alfa.
Finally, the fear was present, accompanied by a sigh of relief, 'That was close She said throwing a moment.
'I must say it was a great job He heard the voice of Aleu who came out of the trees.
- Aleu, You were there all this time? Asked his brother
She could not interfere, that was something you had to face alone, 'replied the wolf.
They could kill me, Object-dog.
'But did not I answer Aleu-leaning next to him,' Do not come home until you know your dad is safe-
- Why the sudden interest?-Ask Kody
- Are you still with that attitude, I thought if I let you go alone you'd think you were imagining things better, but I see that you are still a big head! - Grunted his sister.
-All the time I knew you were coming after me, if that's what I learned all this time, you should practice more, 'replied the dog.
- Are you going to spend the rest of the critical path? Asked the mestizo.
'You know where you stand-
I should let you go-Great-only mumble Aleu.
Kodi was raised on.
- What do you expect super wolf, hurry up or the puppy will win cried.
... ..
Steele and Balto hid in an alley while resting quite dirty enough to leave that place, the dog started licking thoroughbred hybrid wounds trying to remove the blood from his fur.
'No need to do that-Argument Balto.
-I do not mind it, after all saved my life, says the malamute continuing their work.
'You're worse than I Steele, please Continuous-dog / wolf.
-You must be tired, let me get something to eat cried Alaska.
'It's very dangerous, certainly should be looking,' said Balto.
-Whatever-end by his friend watching the sunset.
Minutes passed, but neither said anything, both were tucked into their thoughts, they both knew that the road could diverge in the near future.
'I thought it best to leave now it is night-says Steele after a while.
She's a good strategy, but I think we'd better wait, it is too early to leave, probably still are looking for.
Your partner just went back to his old position.
- Do you still hurt? Asked the dog / wolf
He will heal. Over time, 'replied the malamute.
The night passed slowly, the temperature dropped gradually bringing a new snowfall.
...
Balto's children continued their journey despite the weather ...
We can not continue like this, we will miss exclaimed Aleu.
-Let's dad once did, we too can do it, I reply Kody
They walked a few feet until he finally spotted some lights in the distance.
- Do you smell that? Asked the mestizo.
- Sure! - His brother said, - Come -
The two ran to the village where they would spend the night before continuing their journey.
....
Chapter 4
The value of a decision
The morning arrived, bringing new hope for the two friends.
'Time to go home Balto-says no response from his companion.
- Steele - Questions hybrid noting the sad look of the malamute.
I suppose that is the end, we run away together to the forest and then everyone can move on.
- What are you talking about, would be madness claim the dog / wolf.
'I can not return to Nome, not after everything I did I say .- Steele
'It's nonsense, you made some mistakes, but you've obviously changed Balto-Contest
-All these children might die, that's not a simple error-
-Steele-
'Forget it, we will discuss another time-out of Alaska finished the alley.
'Wait here, I'll see if it is safe-
Balto knew that part of Steele's words were true, but really deserved another chance.
He therefore you are going through my friend thought.
Soon after, a group of dogs entered the alley while conversing.
'Hey, boy, do you hear what happened yesterday in the sand? Asked one of them.
-If it was spectacular, a great battle took place, you know fight to survive, then came to defeat death, cold and not all content with that he launched against humans, said another
Yes these men showed him how it feels, 'replied the first.
-It is best for people to seek a passage through the cell room which knocked her step-Continuous
And the other boys escaped, that such dog / wolf has become a hero, I end the first.
-Heh-heh-heh-If you reach to hear something, but last night was so cold I decided to find somewhere to hide.
-By the way friend, you look great, I Did something happened, does anyone attacked you? - Began to ask, when they noticed the strange appearance of the hybrid.
-Hey, you're not a dog-says one of them - You're a wolf-Scream.
The dogs were on guard to hear the claim of his companion.
'Listen, I know I can look, but I ... - Balto began to explain to no avail.
The dogs continued barking trying to intimidate the mestizo who was in no mood for that.
- Enough! - He said, growling. Large fangs showing highlighted their heritage to others. The gentle look had been replaced by a cold and gloomy style.
The trio of dogs stopped to see such an image, repenting for causing a terrifying creature.
He slowly began to back up to exit the alley.
- What, do not attack - Questions Balto advancing slowly toward them.
Wolf-You're lucky, we decided to let you go, 'said one of the dogs fled the place, when his two companions followed him closely.
The hybrid smiled just in time to meet his friend who came with a piece of meat ready to share.
- What was that, I ask dropping lunch on the snow.
'Nothing,' replied the dog / wolf looking food.
- Where did you get that? - Ask
'It's amazing what you can get these days, Steele replied,' Now I suggest we eat before returning home.
-I did not want to join me-says Balto
-Just follow you until I get a new owner, one that allows me to bring back the sled, you have no idea how strange to feel the cold wind on my face, running next to your computer through the snow.
Steel blue eyes lit up with renewed hope.
'Then do not expect more hybrid-finished taking the middle of lunch.
...
Aleu Kodiak and ran towards the next village, they had both heard a couple of men with the description of the officers had been there by going to the next town after White Mountain.
I can not believe that all were so nice to you She complained the wolf, 'It's the advantage to look like mom than dad.
-Yeah right, 'replied the mulatto.
Less talk, more action and Aleu, I have traveled this road many times, if we continue at this pace will come at noon.
....
Then both Balto and Steele had left the village into the deep forest.
-If, Balto said the race ahead alamote the hybrid-now I'll show you because I was 4 years champion sled-
-Sure, replied his friend screaming.
- Why does it always have to do that - Questions Steele.
I'm sorry, but I can not help it, 'replied the mestizo,' You should try it sometime-
-Who knows, maybe someday, says the Alaska.
As time went on smoothly for 4 travelers until their paths met.
... ..
Kodi hear a howl in the distance, the same I used to hear when approaching home.
- Dad? - He asked.
The memories of him and his father running on the beach with clear water on their legs, and sunset in the distance raided his thoughts, taking you back to those treasured moments.
The imposing figure of his father as leader of the dog sled considered faster Nome, hero to men, hero dogs after winning the race against the plane.
Everything comes to mind with a simple sound, the call of his father.
- Dad, 'said responding with a howl of its own.
Balto stopped listening immediately.
- Kodi! - Whisper with joy.
The way your child can see the top of the road, with those vibrant reds and whites mingling with his eyes full of life.
'Hi Dad proudly exclaimed the dog and finally the trip had not been in vain and now back with his father back home.
Beside him stood Aleu waiting to see the reaction of Balto, she was not sure how do get his father after all that had happened.
It had been nearly two years since his departure, the wolf never knew his father would reproach him anything, but still after all that experience with his brother, he feared that things were equal with his dad.
Kodiak-I keep every opportunity to reproach my actions, he does not know the whole story, but obviously has made a decision, I wonder if he will be the same? He thought Aleu.
'Never mind, I have not come all this way for nothing-Continuous.
The silence was maintained, allowing the sounds of the forest intensified, Balto continue seeing his children, he meant many things, but did not know where to start.
'Hello children exclaimed finally.
The boys expected anything but that phrase so short ...
- Are you going to stand there all day?-Continued to show his best smile.
Aleu and Kodi ran to his father's side and gently pushing it when they were puppies.
'I thought you were gone, freeing up those tears Kodiak exclaim contained for so long, I thought it was my fault, -
The husky gently grazed his head under the collar of Balto just as her mother.
Nothing happened, terrible, also goes a long way to get me and tells me to whisper how much you care, the dog / wolf returning the gesture.
'Thanks Dad answered Kodi.
Aleu decided not to stop allowing them space, after all, never allow the scene was erased from his memory.
-Aleu He heard the voice of the hybrid who now kept her eyes on her, thank you for coming out here to help, but I feel your presence here might be affecting others
Do not worry Dad, the herd is safe, well after all, is the least we could do, 'replied the wolf imitating the caress of her brother.
-You have become a very strong girl-says Balto Aleu admiring his daughter, 'I'm proud of you
'Thank you my dear replied the mixed alpha-throwing against his father in a playful tone, Kodi inadvertently left behind did the same, knocking down the half-wolf.
Calm down boys exclaimed, falling on the snow Balto, the husky when I notice the strange mark on the face of his father.
'Daddy your eye is injured, I comment noting the markings on the body of his father, is a recent injury, what happened? - Ask insegurode want to know the truth.
It's a long story, answered the mestizo looking where his friend.
-Sometimes fate brings us challenges, but this always has a hidden purpose behind all that, he said sitting up.
His children looked at malamute standing on the lower path without understanding the meaning of those words.
'I've already found that goal-
...
Chapter 5
Outcomes
The 4 dogs walked back home, in front Balto talking to their children while Steele's still said nothing.
'It can not be, then he is that Kodi Steele-says glancing at malamute, he realizing under the head of a submissive way.
-It does not look like bad-Continuous
-It is not only not want to lose everything that he had obtained with so much sacrifice, I understand your feelings for him that life was like for me you could not live knowing that there are more, 'said his father.
-Even so, he put too much on risk Alego Aleu,-acted selfishly, no matter what the excuse.
- Why is it that makes me sound so familiar? Asked the mestizo
-If Dad thinks he deserves a second chance, it implicates his decision, I have not had altercations with Steele, for l I should not say in the matter.
-Thanks Kodi replied the dog / wolf stopping their passage. -Steele-call your friend.
'I meet my children, and Kodiak-Aleu
... ..
In Nome ...
The days continued calm in the town, the inhabitants had returned to their normal activities, mail sled was led again by Kirby as we imagine Kodi, the old leader gave his best effort while awaiting the return of his companion.
The youngster went flying across the sky remote deliveries, but always came back hoping to hear the howl of your dog / wolf.
-Balto, you really won my heart murmur thinking about it.
Meanwhile Jenna finally left home, she had learned of the disappearance of his son, who was released by Dusty a senseless adventure.
The husky desperately try to follow in his footsteps, but the days had passed without hope of finding traces of Kodi, yet she remained firm, ensuring that his son would return.
The other dogs admired his courage, so they refrained from denying his words.
-The first Balto disappeared all doubt his word, but he returned just as he had said Jenna
-We let ourselves be influenced by Steele, but she showed us the opposite-says Doc, the old St. Bernard.
....
Why these things happen, Who decides what should happen and when, Does the target is actually written?
... ..
The position of the Sun marked the beginning of the afternoon indicating the end of another day without a trace of Kodiak.
Jenna stopped on the slope where she used to wait and Balto the plane, his gaze focused on the horizon, admiring the show with golden tones, since they form the penetrating gaze of her lover.
-Kodi Jenna is a great dog, he will be well-hear in your mind.
-True Balto replied.
The plane flew from atop the Husky aircraft while diving along the bark.
'It's incredible that we have done this many times and never thought it would travel there alone She said
The aircraft under a bit as he turned around town, preparing to land when he saw them.
The 3 dogs as contrasted with the snow.
Balto-Kodiak and said the young rising slightly to turn again.
Steele-Look, that's my plane cried the mestizo accelerating pace.
The Alaskan Malamute, attention turns to watch the aircraft as if they would welcome after the long journey.
She's beautiful, 'said the dog, listening to the semi-strong howling wolf.
Kodi followed with his calling the attention of the dogs and the villagers.
The plane turned away, but the shapes of residents showed up on the outskirts of town.
- Look at all, Kodiak is back! - A shout
And comes with Balto, 'continued the other.
People cheered cheerful welcoming canines, Doc and the others could not believe what they saw, they witnessed the death of the hybrid, but was now right in front of them.
Jenna just ahead way of all to receive them, the barking filled with happiness, only showed part of the true joy contained within. It was like a dream come true.
Kodi Mama exclaimed, 'I brought Dad back-continued
'I know son, I know, I say the dog with emotion,' This has become one of the happiest days of my life
People were quick to welcome dogs, while congratulating caressing, all but one, which stopped meters behind, waiting for the crowds dissipate.
Balto 'Well done, you're back where you belong She said preparing to return to the forest.
'I should accept the invitation to Aleu and go with it, but I never fit with the wolves, not in my nature, the malamute was suppressed.
- How did you know Kodi?-Ask Jenna
Aleu-mom was, she was here and told me what she really thought, they fought, but eventually I realized he was right, so I decided to go find my father.
- Where is she? -
She went to the halfway point was going to sea, where some of his herd were waiting.
'I impressed to see our daughter-says Balto,-yet to mature more, but is on track-
-Also-says Steele also helped Kodiak.
- Steele? Asked the Husky noticing for the first time Alaska.
-He has changed, says the mestizo, He probably did not believe it, but I showed this in a way that only a close friend would.
-Men who hurt me, took me to an arena fights, right where Steele met, he take care of my wounds and fight with me when you need it most.
He returned, though he knew what he could do to get to Nome, Kodiak I comment.
The Alaska did not attempt to move, the way was long enough for him at the moment, but if you have refused to return only to White Mountain.
Jenna had never known that side of the Malamute, but Balto and he had found such a place must have been for some reason.
Nome dogs certainly object to Steele's arrival in town, at least that is what the hybrid deciphered in his gestures, everyone knew the story of the sled dog who lost in that situation so important, now people might be worse that the same dog.
-Steele She heard the voice of a person in the crowd.
People look at the dog but no one moved, when the crowd a young redhead way to him, 'Hello Steele, has long been said the girl slowly touching the head of Alaska.
The dog recognized the girl as Rosy, the owner of Jenna, by allowing the contact of her hands on her body, despite his wounds.
Rosy noticed the scars that adorned the figure of the Malamute, with a large and quite recent in his back.
'Poor you, look what you have done-Whisper feeling a gentle nudge from the mestizo who was now next to the girl.
Balto-Look, you are also badly wounded, the redhead Continuous embracing both dogs.
People watch events without knowing what to do, it was obvious that the situation had gone out of their hands, so that a fair-haired boy who had just arrived raise my hand for attention.
Listen everybody, This shows that these men were a fake, however this may be a warning to all, that is why today officially adopts and Balto-says Alaskan Malamute
'But that dog is Steele, who was a subject ...' he began barking Kodi but silenced him.
The other dogs just preferred to stay out after that, both as Balto Rosy Kodiak I even gave him a second chance, the only thing that stopped them was Jenna.
He is difficult to accept things, but sometimes fate does things that change us, our separate ways, only to rejoin, said the dog
-If Rosy, Balto and my son has forgiven you, I can do-finished
The village dogs began to howl in imitation of the dog / wolf who replied at the time.
A new experience, new challenges come to town in the near future, but that night, Nome was complete.
END
Arken: Generally, many authors tend to place Steele as a cold character, but I think it could be someone like him after being branded as a liar and have lived a difficult life in the hands of other owners might see the world differently So sometimes you need that life lesson to learn the value of things.
I dont own this! I just translated it on meh computer and decided to share it. Idk how to link it my bad. I didnt write this nor make it!
