A distressed cry flew through the air. 
<br />
<br />Shull raised her head from the pack borders. 
<br />
<br />Several generations down from the Hero Balto. 
<br />
<br />Yep. 
<br />
<br />That was her. 
<br />
<br />Shull stepped forward, cautiously peeking into the den. 
<br />
<br />She whimpered.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Alphess?"
  <br /></span>
<br />The shewolf in the den lifted her head.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Alphess Soull?"</span>
<br />
<br />Soull stood up, shaking off the nursing pups. 
<br />
<br />Shull shouted out in terror.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"By Balto`s fang! They`re cursed Soull! They`re cursed!"
  <br />
  <br /></span>Her tail shot between her legs and she wimpered, covering her eyes with her paws. 
<br />
<br />Soull stood up, kicking aside her two whelps, to join Shull outside the den. 
<br />
<br />She spotted a flash of red coming closer, the gray alphess whispered a command to Shull. 
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"I want you to hide them in the den, deep in the passages. I don`t want them to die. Understand?"
  <br />
  <br /></span>Shull nodded and darted into the den. 
<br />
<br />The flash of red pulled up short.
<br />
<br />Pirru spoke carefully.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Soull, we must move on."
  <br />
  <br /></span>His mate snarled. 
<br />
<br />She would not leave.
<br />
<br />The pup`s cries lifted up into the air as they were hidden. 
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Frost-Wraith, you must die."
  <br />
  <br /></span>There was a snapping sound and then another and Shull left the den. Blood coursed down her face, just a little.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Miz, they are hidden."
  <br />
  <br /></span>The trio watched.
<br />
<br />The Frost-Wraith was rising!
