Chapter 2 Nome
Hi guys and welcome to the second chapter, I hope you like it and please let reviews.
It had been an hour since Xaver left his master to continue the journey to the city of Nome along with Aleu. The two wolves were now inseparable, it seemed that every day they felt more united and that nothing could divide them.
As they continued towards the city, the two wolves kept talking to each other. Arriving near a river, they decided to stop and drink some water.
Aleu: "There is nothing better than drinking a little of water after a long walk. Right?"
Xaver: "yes. you're right"
Shortly after Xaver lay down on the green lawn to rest, and Aleu stood near to him. She was curious to know how Xaver had made the powers. He was going to find out if she could become a warrior she-wolf too.
Aleu : "Xaver. How did you get your powers?"
Xaver: "well ... it's a long story "
Aleu: "I like long stories"
The silver wolf smiled at his friend and decided to tell her what happened just before he met Aleu.
Xaver told Aleu that during the Cyberwolf assault, he attempted to defeat Dark Blade along with his friend, Haru. He sacrificed himself to make Haru use an attack that could have killed Dark Blade, but even Xaver was hit by his friend's attack, unexpectedly Dark Blade turned out to be alive and as a result Haru was killed by the demon. As soon as there seemed to be no more hope, but Xaver was brought into the astral world by Aniu, he was given the powers of the starlight and above all the possibility of returning to life and defeating the destroyer of worlds. It was discovered that Dark Blade was traveling to Earth, but thanks to his new wings he had managed to anticipate him.
Aleu continued to listen to Xaver's words. She was very interested and kept appearing new questions in her mind ... did not realize, however, that someone was listening to them from afar.
Aleu: "it's a really interesting story"
Xaver: "thank you"
Aleu: "can I ask you how do you use your powers?"
Xaver: "it's not a very complicated thing, I just concentrate the energy inside of me and then release it in the form of an attack"
Aleu: "maybe I can become a warrior wolf too or maybe you can teach me"
Aniu: "my dear Aleu, there are things that can not be taught"
The two wolves turned and saw Xaver's guide right in front of them. Aniu had followed Xaver and Aleu by order of Nava, he wanted to make sure both of them were continuing their journey without problems.
Aleu: "who are you?"
Aniu: "my name is Aniu. And as you know, I 'm Xaver's guide"
Actually Aniu was there for a much more important reason. She was a living soul capable of being visible not only to her protégés, but also to the members of her family, and Aleu was her grandaughter...and it was time to tell the truth.
Aniu: "you'll be wondering how I know your name. Well ... you must know that I have known you for a very long time, even if we have never met, and for all this time I have watched both you and your father ... I am your grandmother"
The silver warrior wolf was very shocked by what Aniu had just revealed. Aleu, however, had never known her real grandmother so it was hard to believe the words of Aniu.
Aleu: "your name seems familiar to me, but ... I don't know. I find it hard to believe you, I've never met any of my grandparents. So how can I be sure you're not lying?"
Aniu: "don't worry. To be honest, I did not expect that you would have believed me right away, so I will not force you to believe me. I'll let you find out the truth"
Aleu was very confused , meanwhile Aniu disappeared. Of course, she didn't trust a ghost, but it seemed that soul didn't seem to be lying. Shortly afterwards, Aleu remembered that during an argument with her father, he had described his mother who had a white fur like the snow and a melodious voice, the correct description of Aniu.
Meanwhile...
Not far from the two wolves, there was the city of Nome. A peaceful place, the exact harmony between civilization and nature, and where even humans had a close relationship with their dog friends.
At that time the new technologies were now also coming to Nome, but during the winter the sled dogs were still the most suitable means of transport when it came to deliveries or sports competitions.
Every year there were races between sled dog teams to compare who among them was the best. Only dogs with great physical strength, a formidable resistance and speed were chosen for this kind of competition, being a delivery dog was very different from a race dog because in addition to the hard training the roads to go were much more challenging in the races. The team that proved superior to others was rewarded with titles and praises; if for a human the prize was money, for the leader or the dog that stood before the rest of the team was assigned the golden collar.
However, Nome was famous for something else: three years ago a terrible epidemic of diphtheria was unleashed that hit all the children of the city and the medicines were almost unreachable due to a violent snowstorm. The only way was to send a team of sled dogs to another city, Nenana, the sled dogs unfortunately also were hampered by the storm and they were lost during the return to Nome. Fortunately, a half wolf named Balto, set off in search of the missing dog team, and thanks to his determination he found the team and managed to drive it to Nome with the medicine, saving the lives of many children. That day a simple wolf despised by all, became the most famous hero of all times.
Balto also found a mate. Her name was Jenna, she was a purebred husky with amber eyes and a red fur while her belly, face and legs were completely white, she always wore an orange bandana around her neck. Jenna lived in a comfortable home with her little owner, Rosy, and her parents.
Jenna and Balto often met and when little Rosy got sick of diphtheria, the half-wolf could no longer bear to see the husky worried about her owner. He already knew that spending time with Jenna to make her feel better would not be enough, so he decided to start recovering the medicine. Thanks to his intervention, Rosy managed to be treated just in time, so that Balto conquered the heart of Jenna.
That morning Jenna was waking her little owner to get ready to go to school. The female husky tried to pull the blanket off, but the little girl continued to mumble and resume covering herself.
Rosy: "Come on Jenna ... five minutes more"
she understood that the kind methods wouldn't give great results, so she decided to call someone who would surely have convinced Rosy to get up.
Jenna picked up a puppy of husky red-garnet and golden eyes and placed her on Rosy's bed. She was the little Dakota, and like Aleu she was the daughter of Balto and Jenna.
A few months ago Jenna had a second litter, and when they reached the age of eight weeks it was time to find a new family, but Rosy managed to convince her parents to keep Dakota, the little girl was very fond of the little husky not to wanting to leave her, and eventually Rosy's parents decided to let Dakota stay with them.
Dakota arrived near Rosy and began to lick her cheek. The girl giggled and immediately got out of bed and quickly got ready for the day, while Jenna was going for a walk with her daughter so she asked Dakota where she preferred to go.
Jenna: "then Dakota. later would you like to take a walk with me? "
Dakota: "yes yes yes!"
As soon as Jenna asked Dakota if she wanted to do a walk with her, the little husky waved her tail irrepressibly.
Jenna: *chuckles* "okay, honey. Where do you want to go?"
Dakota: "I'd like to visit dad"
Soon after, Rosy was ready to go to school. Her parents accompanied her to school with Jenna and Dakota, on the way they met Dingo with his owner, Danny; Dingo was the son of Balto and Jenna too.
When he and his siblings were about to be adopted, Dingo was the first to be chosen to go to a new home. When Danny picked him for the first time, he knew immediately that very soon will had become inseparable, Danny was very fond of his new little friend: filling his bowl, he always carried out on walks and above he was always ready to play with him.
Unfortunately, Danny's parents often stayed out for work, but when Dingo began to grow he decided it was time to return the favor, even though he knew he wasn't a human, Dingo worked hard to make sure that Danny had someone who took care of him: he accompanied him to school, helped him with the work at home and always watched over him during the night.
Dingo: "hi mom"
Jenna: "hi Dingo. How are you?"
Dingo: "Well ... I spend all day with my owner, I care a lot for him"
Jenna: "it's nice to know that you have a great bond"
Dingo: "I'm really lucky to have a friend like him"
Arriving near the school, Rosy greeted her parents and ran to the entrance, Danny also did the same with Dingo. On her way back home, Jenna still had time to exchange a few words with her son.
Dingo: "I heard that dad finally found an owner"
Jenna: "Yes. Dakota and I were planning to go to him later"
Dakota: "Do you want to come too, big brother?"
Dingo: "of course. why not?"
A few hours later Jenna and Dakota left the house and Dingo was waiting for them. The three huskies strolled happily through the city, until they arrived at a small house quite a while from the other houses. That was the home of the new owner of Balto, it was an aircraft pilot who had made himself available during the summer to deliver mail in the various cities of Alaska, unfortunately there was no trace of Balto or even the pilot.
Balto had dreamed so many times to fly, but it was impossible for a half wolf, but when Balto met the pilot, he was adopted, and often Duke, this is the name of the pilot, invited him to get on the plane and fly together.
Dingo took a look and noticed that not even Duke's plane was present. The little Dakota speculated that maybe Balto was on the beach, when he was still a stray, he lived on a boat stranded on the beach, but now that he had found a master he left his previous home, but he usually loved to pass by on the seashore.
Dingo: "apparently he's not here"
Dakota : " maybe it will be at the beach"
All three headed for the beach, but unfortunately Balto was not there, but they found someone else running along the beach, a husky with a dark red coat and dark brown eyes.
As soon as he saw Jenna and Dingo, he immediately turned to them to greet them.
Dingo: "what a pleasure to see you brother"
Kodi: "also for me Dingo"
Jenna: "I see you still continue to train to become a racing dog "
Kodi: "you know, mom. It has always been my dream ... to become like my father "
When he was still a puppy, Kodi was the smallest of the litter, and when he usually played with his siblings he could hardly keep up with the various games he needed to run, which made him very sad. One day, Balto he realized the problem of Kodi and decided to stay with him and also taught him to believe in himself and overcome his difficulties. Every day Balto carrying his son on the beach to run together, which allowed him to create a close bond with his father, Balto, and when Kodi became a young adult even managed to be at the same speed with his father.
Thanks to his father's teachings, Kodi grew up with a strong personality: bold, optimistic, independent and always with a great sense of duty.
Some time later he also managed to find a job as a mail dog, where he met other dogs who immediately became his friends. Together they drove a sled to deliver mail to nearby cities in Nome during the winter or when the weather was unstable.
When Kodi became a silent leader of the group he decided to move on to the next step of his great dream: to become a racing dog. His father told him many times when he did his big heroism, and that was how Kodi decided that he would become the fastest race dog in the whole Nome, which he spent every morning running on the beach to train.
Jenna: "By the way, do you know where he is?"
Kodi: "he left with Duke to deliver the mail, he should be back soon ... hey, what do you think if we go to wait for him in front of his house "
Dingo: "it seems like a good idea"
To be continued...
So what do you think?
