It was not that long ago, when one of the daughters of Caza and Snarl, journeyed across the ice path. Her name was Shojji. Shojji had heard of her parents talking about how Balto and Aleu had led them across the ice. She had also heard about a place called Nome. Shojji wanted to go there and meet Balto. He was a hero among them, not to mention the father of their great leader, Aleu. Shojji had over heard Aleu many times speak of her father, and how she missed him. Shojji was 4 years old now. She knew that it was time for her to start traveling. As she neared the land, she saw a black and gray wolf walking along the beach, with another old wolf with very pale gray fur. Shojji walked up to them.  Shyly, she walked up to them and asked, " Hello. My name is Shojji from Aleu's pack. Who are you?"    The black and gray wolf stepped forward and said, " My name is Niju and this is my friend Nava. Nava was the leader of Aleu's pack before her. If I may ask, where are you going?" At first I was too stunned to answer Niju. THIS was Nava, former leader of Aleu's pack. He was famous among our pack! Shojji snapped herself out of it and said, " I am going to visit Nome. I want to meet Aleu's father Balto. Wow, I don't believe that Nava and Niju ae standing right here, I have heard much about you. I'm very sorry, but I must go now. Goodbye. I hope we meet again!" And with that, Shojji ran off.

Shojji had run for several more hours, when she decided to rest.  She slept for a few hours and then decided to hunt. Very quietly, she sniffed for some prey. Then she spotted a deer, drinking from a small creek. Extremley slowly and quietly she stalked it. Shojji took a few more steps, and then POUNCE! She snapped it's neck like a twig. " Great catch', someone yelled out. Shojji looked around, hoping it wasn't some mean wolf. But when she turned around, she saw a shaggy gray wolf with a smile on his face. He looked friendly enough. " Hello. My name is Shojji. I'm from Aleu's pack, just South of here.", Shojji said. The gray wolf looked at her and told her, " My name is Samir. I come from the Java pack. You say you come from down south. Are you the pack that crossed the ice to get to your new home?". Shojji smiled. It was a good thing for Samir to at least know who her pack was. " That's right. My pack did cross the ice. My parents Caza and Snarl did. I wasn't born yet.", when I told him this he looked impresses. Then Samir asked me " Why don't we meet here again tomorrow night at midnight. Does that sound alright?". " That would be nice", Shojji told him. And with that, Samir smiled at her, and ran off.

The next  day, Shojji couldn't wait for midnight t come. Shojji said out loud, " I am falling in love with him?". Shojji wasn't sure she was ready to fall in love. Yes, she was already 4 years old, but she had just wanted to visit Nome. What about her job as a medicine wolf? She was her pack's only medicine wolf, ever since the death of her beloved mentor, Candy. But then again, Samir seemed different then anyone else she had ever met. Later, that day, after Shojji had hunted, she took a nap. She had a wonderful dream.
