"Get down!" a young boy, who had fifteen years old yelled.
Waking up in the light of a shining new day
Giving thanks to the moon for guiding my way
"What?" a young man, who had twenty-two years old asked, he and his brother were waiting for their youngest brother.
"Get down! Get down!" the young boy shouted as he was coming closer to his brother, with a caribou stampede following him.
"Koda!" shouted the other brother, who had twenty-four years old, then both him and his brother take cover behind their canoes, soon the young boy joined him.
The two youngest brothers make a call of excitement as the caribou stampede passed jumping over them, after all the animals have passed, the three brothers have passed them, they two younger brothers started to laugh.
"Good job Koda!" said Kenai as he high-fived Koda.
"Thanks!" said Koda smiling, and then he looked to his other brother "Wow, you have a bad look Denahi"
"Well… hate stampedes!" Said Denahi "I was hoping you´ve learned another thing from Kenai that making stampedes!"
This only made Kenai and Koda to laugh more.
Denahi rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, we have to get going; your ceremony is starting soon" Denahi.
"Oh yes, today´s Koda big day!" said Kenai.
"Please, I´ll only get my totem, that´s all" said Koda.
"Well, is an important day for you" Kenai "You´ll giving the first steps to manhood"
"Yes, we thought you were going to be more excited about it" Denahi.
Koda rolled his eyes and stand up, he grabbed his canoe.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let´s go!" he said as he started to run to the river.
Kenai and Denahi looked to each other and then they laughed, soon they were following Koda as they also started to laugh and cheer up as they started to drive through the river.
There is no greater gift to the soul
Lie in each breath that my body can hold
So great spirit, hear my voice, today
Kenai and Denahi were step on a giant rock; Koda was on another big rock that was before the one where Kenai and Denahi were.
"Come on!" Kenai "Jump"
Koda get ready to jump and got ready to jump, he did it but he slipped once he was on the rock, lucky Kenai grab him by his coat and pulled him to them.
"Wow" Koda said once he was safe from danger.
Denahi laughed and then they saw birds lying over them, they cheer up and started to jump into the air.
Welcome, magic
Welcome, sweet sun ray
Love is no secret
Look all around you
Welcome to this day
They were now racing down on an ice mountain on their canoes.
Then Kenai and Denahi got some fish on the river, when they had the fishes on their trap, they look to the other side but nothing happened.
"I was expecting a mammoth to be honest" Denahi.
"Yeah, me too" Kenai.
"Let´s get this fishes on the basket before anything else happens" Denahi.
"Okay" responded Kenai, who was a little bit disappointed he really was expecting some mammoth.
Life is simple and clear when you make the right choices
It's true that you're here when you find your own voice
Oh, my brothers and sisters believe
You are just what you are meant to be
Oh, Great Spirit, hear my voice, today
As the three brothers arrived back to the village, some kids who were playing started to surround Koda.
"Yes, Koda´s back" one of them yelled.
"Koda, are you happy for receiving your spirit rock?" one boy asked.
"Yes, I guess" said Koda as he took some rope to tie the basket to the tree.
"Well, someone's don´t sound so convinced" said a voice from the tree´s, it was Emily, who had now the same age of Koda, only that her was two months older than him, ironically Emily´s totem has been the Bear of Love. She was now a beautiful girl and very attractive.
Also, between her and Koda had started to be… something beyond friendship, Koda feel really attract for her and the same thing happened with Emily, only that none of them wanted to accept it.
"Well, I don´t remember her been so happy when she got the bear of love" Koda "Do you remember her face of that day?"
Koda got a mad but funny look on his face what make all the kids laugh.
"Very funny" said Emily smiling "Now we´ll see how you manage, after all, many people gets disappointed about their totems at the beginning"
"Well, I´ll be happy with everything" said Koda smiling as he tied the basket to the tree.
This make Emily smile again.
Welcome, magic

Love is no secret

Welcome to this day
Then everyone start to yell that Tanana was back from the journey she did for get Koda´s totem.
"Come on" said Kenai who had finished tiding his basket to another tree, then he and Denahi started to run to where the ceremony was going to take place.
The children yelled of joy and started to run.
"Let´s go" Emily.
"I´ll catch you soon" said Koda.
Emily nodded with the head, and she started to walk away, then Koda looked to the trees, after waiting for a minute, a teenager bear came out, lucky there was no one else besides Koda, so they were safe.
"Hello Bucky" Koda.
"Hello" said Bucky smiling, and then he and Koda hugged each other. "I´m proud of you"
Koda smiled and looked at him, breaking the hug.
"Thanks for been here"
"Anytime friend" said Bucky smiling.
Even if Koda was human and Bucky a bear, they still hang out with each other, and the fact they were now from different species didn't bother them at all, they were friends and that was what really mattered.
"So, ready for your big day?" asked Bucky.
"I´m only getting my totem, it´s not big deal" Koda, the two of them have started to walk to the ceremony place.
"Well, humans have strangest traditions" Bucky.
"Yes" Koda.
"And, are you sure no one will tried to hunt me?"
"Positive, they know you´re my friend, and no one is going to hurt you"
"Great, and happy for been here" Bucky.
"Thanks bro" said Koda, then he pushed Bucky, playfully, and then started to run while he was laughing.
Bucky also laughed and started to chase Koda as the two of them laughed like if they were children's.
