(OK well this is my attempt at a prologue kinda thing though idk if you can call it a prologue since its actually takes place at the end)

slowly i wake up, i'm laying in the snow, i can smell blood and alot of it, i can't remember anything for a few seconds, then it all floods back, and as I lay in the snow I can't help but hear every word he said before we fought,

"It's odd isn't it? when one is face with their own mortality how much they look back unto their past"

I hate it, i hate every word of it but i can't stop it from coming back to me like a speeding train

"and see how much they regret of their pitiful exuse of a life!"

My mind commands my paw to cover my ears but it seems to refuse i look at it and see why;

"and if you had any sense at all you would ask me- no you would beg me to kill you were you stand!"

its a bloody mess, the entire leg is so gnarled that i'm shocked its still attached, in several places the bone is clearly visable, then i notice something else

"all your life you have been nothing more then a burden, un-wanted and un-needed!"

I'm laying in a pool of my own blood, the white snow has turned a dark red as the blood that i'm sure once flowed now only trickled, i know death will soon be upon me

"becasue of you our alphas are dead! because of you we all might just perish!"

I look up and see a cliff a little less then a hundred feet above and know thats were i fell from, i then look a few feet to my side and see his lifeless body, almost as badly mangled as mine

"but not before I fight you one last time, this time we fight to the death! tonight i do this world a favor and rid it of you! you worthless cur!"

I might live if i were to get help quickly but i know that wont happen, i made damn sure of that much, before i came here i burned every bridge i'd ever built, everyone who would of helped me was either dead or thought i'd killed the others, but i suppose that was my plan i didn't want them to come, coming for anyone would of ment death, but i had also ended it.

I cough and suddenly all the pain hits, and it hits hard. I barely remain consious. its becomeing to much to bare i know i have to do something to get my mind off this pain before i go insaine, if i'm going to die i atleast want to do it with a clear mind, also being happy might help, i guess the hard part will be finding a happy memory.

Mostly all i can think is how i was tortured and tormented, how i was torn from my love more times then i can count, how i was forced from every home i've ever known, how they killed-

"No!" i tell myself, i have to stay calm, so i'll just start at the begining

A/N well thats it for this part, and if it seems a little mixed up or choppy thats on purpose, he is going into shock and slightly insane
next time I update I plan on posting a bulk of a few chapters but I also need a little help,

I need a name for this story, its about Balto and another wolf-dog named Caelum (pronounced Kale-um, it means sky or heavens in Latin) while you all know the story of Balto (I hope) Cael (which is what you will find Caelum prefers to be called) was raised by wolves, this is mostly going to show how different Balto could have been if he had grew up with wolves so I will put them in semi similar situations,

I also need help with names for some characters, if you give me a name that I use I'll mention your name along with a thanks.

Characters I need names for: a few filler wolves - a few elder wolves - the Alpha of the shadow Vally clan that Cael is from also the Alpha is Cael's father, he is larger then the average wolf he is mostly black with a white underside – at least 4 dogs in Nome, similar to steel kaltag Niki and Star – the antagonist, he is a Large gray wolf with a black head, he is missing half an ear and part of his tail – and finally I need a name for a husky pup that has a light blueish gray top and is white on his underside, muzzle around his eyes muzzle and all four paws

But besides all of this i would love to hear what you think, oh and the rest of the story will not be first person that was just for this part
