you won't know how to use them." Cascy stood up, and suddenly looked shocked to find what had happened. "I don't feel any pain. I'm healed." He panted astonished and wide-eyed at Mitch, who also looked surprised. The wolf shook his head and glanced quicky at Sukari, then looked back at Cascy, "If it weren't for the stone's powers you'd be dead right now." He sounded a little angered, "Seems you absorbed it just in time to spare your life...but the stone can't save you from any more injuries." Then Mitch broke into anger, "I see your plan. You're gonna kill Cascy so you can have the stone, how could you be so cold-hearted?" he shouted, gritting his teeth.

were making an escape through the grass. They were running, though exausted, for their lives. The wolf didn't feel the need to look at them, it was obvious to him that they were running. He could hear their crashing footsteps through the brush, now a mile or two away. Sukari then looked wide-eyed as she noticed them struggling, as Cascy had fallen and they were both out of breath. Sukari sighed and bowed her head, the wolf watched them in silence. Mitch stood up, he couldn't see the animals through the tall grass, "Why haven't they caught up with us yet?" He sounded impatient and enfused in anger. Cascy stood with his mouth agape, facing the direction they had been running from. "What now, are they just waiting for us to give up?" Mitch continued. Cascy narrowed his eyes to focus, he could barely see the wolf and the lioness, but something else had caught his attention. The wolf looked to his left, the corner of his eye had caught a flash of light which almost caused him to flinch. Sukari turned slowly to the light, there was a circular shape which seemed to be configuring itself out of patches of sky blue and white light. The wolf stared through narrowed eyes, "The porthole. If we mess this up we could lose the stone, don't do anything stupid this time." He glared at Sukari. She ignored him and started to pace toward Cascy and Mitch, "It's a porthole, you guys, a chance to get away, hurry!" They heard the call, andit's been absorbed, by you." He motioned with his head and eyes toward Cascy. Cascy sat open-mouthed in silence. Mitch felt his fists curl into tight balls, he wanted to beat up the wolf that instant, but had to refrain from doing so.

"Prove it, wolf!", said Cascy finally. The wolf sighed, "There is no way of proving it...unless you decide to use your powers, but chances are you won't know how to use them." Cascy stood up, and suddenly looked shocked to find what had happened. "I don't feel any pain. I'm healed." He panted astonished and wide-eyed at Mitch, who also looked surprised. The wolf shook his head and glanced quicky at Sukari, then looked back at Cascy, "If it weren't for the stone's powers you'd be dead right now." He sounded a little angered, "Seems you absorbed it just in time to spare your life...but the stone can't save you from any more injuries." Then Mitch broke into anger, "I see your plan. You're gonna kill Cascy so you can have the stone, how could you be so cold-hearted?" he shouted, gritting his teeth.

where still transfixed onto the gateway of light. Mitch was positive that something was wrong, "What's on the other side of it?" He called back to Sukari, who was by now standing amidst the two. The wolf caught up with Sukari and now stood between the three of them and the porthole. He sniffed the air in eloquence, "That porthole will only lead you to a certain death. Forget about your home, you can't get back." Mitch shook his head, he looked to Cascy who was gazing confusedly at the situation. Mitch kicked the ground, the wolf had to blink away the cloud of dust which irritated his eyes. "You're lying." Mitch shouted angrily. The wolf kept himself calm, "I was going to let you live, Mitch but you just blew your chance." The wolf grit his teeth, "Now you're both gonna die." Sukari positioned herself between the wolf and the two men. She opened her mouth to say something but looked up and yelled, "The porthole is closing, hurry you two. GO!" Mitch took Cascy by the arm and urged him into the direction of the pothole.

Cascy was surpised to have been grabbed in this way and felt as though his arm had been wrenched off, but he decided to follow Mitch. Mitch let go of Cascy to put on a full sprint toward the porthole. He was so close he could almost touch the light with an outstretched arm, he turned to make sure Cascy was still following. Cascy had managed to catch up with him, he looked behind him, the lioneit's been absorbed, by you." He motioned with his head and eyes toward Cascy. Cascy sat open-mouthed in silence. Mitch felt his fists curl into tight balls, he wanted to beat up the wolf that instant, but had to refrain from doing so.

"Prove it, wolf!", said Cascy finally. The wolf sighed, "There is no way of proving it...unless you decide to use your powers, but chances are you won't know how to use them." Cascy stood up, and suddenly looked shocked to find what had happened. "I don't feel any pain. I'm healed." He panted astonished and wide-eyed at Mitch, who also looked surprised.

You're gonna kill Cascy so you can have the stone, how could you be so cold-hearted?" he shouted, gritting his teeth.

ss was smiling open-mouthed at their success. The wolf was seething, he could not let his chance surpass him this easily. He soared past Sukari in a flash of fury and fur. Mitch watched the wolf approach at this fast pace, he was curious as to what the wolf would do, and still unsure about what his outcome would be if he entered the porthole. The wolf slowed down his pace, still enraged he leaped straight for Cascy and forced him to the ground, pinning him down with his weight and lethal claws. Cascy spluttered for breath, he was overwelmed by the strength of this creature. Mitch was unable to stop the powerful wolf, and going through the porthole now would mean leaving Cascy to his death. The wolf held Cascy tightly to the ground, it seemed an effortless task for him, "Go Mitch, the porthole is all yours." He grinned. Sukari stood and glared with disappointment, Mitch, go, save yourself while you still can!" Mitch panted with distraught, unable to decide he could only watch the wolf. He did not know how long the wolf would hold before he would kill Cascy. Sukari was still determined to help, though she felt there was nothing she could say to convince Mitch to enter the porthole. She thought for a moment about trying to fight the wolf, but she knew he would easily overpower her. Cascy looked into Mitch's worried eyes, he was not in the frame of mind for giving up. Cascy fought against the wolf's strengthening hold, hit's been absorbed, by you." He motioned with his head and eyes toward Cascy. Cascy sat open-mouthed in silence. Mitch felt his fists curl into tight balls, he wanted to beat up the wolf that instant, but had to refrain from doing so.

"Prove it, wolf!", said Cascy finally. The wolf sighed, "There is no way of proving it...unless you decide to use your powers, but chances are you won't know how to use them." Cascy stood up, and suddenly looked shocked to find what had happened. "I don't feel any pain. I'm healed." He panted astonished and wide-eyed at Mitch, who also looked surprised.

You're gonna kill Cascy so you can have the stone, how could you be so cold-hearted?" he shouted, gritting his teeth.

e kicked and punched at his chest. The wolf seemed a little shaken by Cascy's reaction and felt the blows to his chest, they were pretty strong. Then Cascy surged all his strength into his arms, and forced both his fists onto the wolf's chest. The blows hit the wolf like cannon balls in his ribs, and he felt himself be thrown aside onto the ground. Cascy, realizing he was free of the wolf's body, quickly rolled to the right and bounced back onto his feet, he could feel a sudden burst of energy thriving within him. Mitch stared in awe at his friend, and then at the wolf, who was lying, panting on the ground. Cascy met up with Mitch and they both stood thinking over the moment which had just surpassed them. Sukari jumped into their view, she was uncontrollably excited, "It's the stone, Cascy. It gave you strength and you used it well!" Cascy felt as though he could laugh, rubbed his forehead in disbelief. Sukari continued, "This world is not safe for you though, you have to go through the porthole now before it closes." Mitch narrowed his eyes, "How do we know no-one's just waiting to kill us on the other side?" He asked craftily. Sukari looked more determined that ever, "I don't know, no-one knows, but I do know, that wolf will never find you there." She looked at the wolf in reference to her words. Mitch and Cascy looked at eachother. The wolf had opened his eyes, he knew he could not find the strength to kill Cascy now, "Sukari is right...but you should know that you can never get back home..." his words were accompanied by a low growl in the back of his throat. "I'm a defeated wolf. Now Civet is going to finish the job." Mitch and Cascy saw the porthole begin to rewind itself, Mitch stared intently at the elusive light, and took a brave step into it. He disappeared in a second through the gate, and Cascy followed him, closing his eyes as he took the step. The two of
