"My Lady?"

"Yes, Daughter?"

"We are ready to leave when you are."

"I will be ready in a minute. An old woman like me feels much sentimental value to her only home."

"Do you wish me to stay my Lady?"

"No Daughter I'll be there a minute."

The black shadows that had just spoken moved away from each other the larger of the two started to chant an old song in an even older language as the smaller lowered her ears at the cold chilling mournful sound.

"Aceler?" a barely visible outline of a wolf questioned though with out words.

"She'll be a minute. This is harder for her then us." The darker one, now named, replied in the same manner.

"Why are we leaving? And why only some of us?" a young fair wolf asked.

"We are going to be ambassadors to a new pack up in Washington." Aceler said to the boy probably no more then 14.

"Let us go my Children. We've a long way to travel." The large one from earlier appeared, all the others rose from their previous position in respect.

"We will follow you." the group said, a term of respect and trust in this pack, there were only five of them not even putting a dent in the original number of 53 of the Navajo pack.

The large one started running followed by Aceler the rest started in whatever order they pleased. The bright moon gave light to their run though they didn't need it. The Alpha now visible was a solid black color with bright green eyes, her Beta, Aceler, was also black but with white socks and white tipped ears and tail, running next to Aceler so close that he was practically leaning on her was a dark grey wolf in color and has blind blue eyes, a heavily built brown wolf followed a few yards behind not meant for speed but held a lot of endurance, and then the youngest the lightest brown almost white pup trailed behind not used to the long runs in unfamiliar territory.

They traveled in silence all through the night and where right outside Sacramento when the sun started to rise.

"We shall rest here today" the Alpha said in the thickest part of a forest they found "we will continue tomorrow night."

Tired, they all fell asleep.
