"This is pretty cool." Vincent smiled at Akito's totem as he took a look at it.
"It certainly is." Akito smiled.
"Oh, Kito, I'm so happy." Estelle beamed to her twin brother.
"Same here." Akito smiled.
"There he is," Kenai's younger older brother smirked and grabbed him in a headlock with a noogie. "Come 'ere, Lover Boy!"
"That's Denahi." Ingrid told the others as she carried Roshan while he appeared to be suckling on her Pokeball.
"He seems to be teasing Kenai." Vincent said.
"It's what brothers do." Akito sighed with a small smirk.
"Leave me alone." Kenai tried to avoid his brother.
"Kenai, wait," Denhai told his younger brother which made him roll his eyes. "I'm sorry."
"What?" Kenai asked out of surprise.
"Your totem, I think it's really great." Denahi smiled.
"You do?" Kenai asked.
"Yeah, and I made you something." Denahi replied as he reached into his pocket.
"I don't think Kenai is going to like his gift." Vincent said.
"What makes you say that?" Snow White asked.
"I smell flowers." Vincent replied.
A flower wreath was in fact thrown at Kenai as his older brother teased him for having a love totem.
"Oh, brother." Estelle rolled her eyes.
"Well, isn't that nice?" Kenai's oldest brother came over with a proud smile. "Instead of fighting, you're giving each other flowers."
"Yeah, isn't it lovely?" Denahi taunted Kenai. "He's so in touch with his totem already."
Kenai soon forcefully gave the flower wreath back Denahi.
"Hey, Dog Breath, go take care of the fish." Kenai's oldest brother told Denahi while pointing to the three.
"Sure." Denahi replied before continuing to tease Kenai.
Kenai was soon about to throw a rock at Denahi.
"Kenai..." The eldest warned the youngest.
"Someday, I'm gonna..." Kenai growled about Denahi. "He's just such a!"
"Hey, Bonehead," The eldest playfully hit the back of his head as he took the rock away from his youngest brother. "Just because his totem's wisdom doesn't mean he's wise. I mean, look at him."
Denahi was making his way to the fish while still taunting Kenai, not knowing his footing. He yelped as a sleeping dog had scared him and three ladies greeted him which made him back up and the dog soon bit him right on his butt which made his brothers cringe, though with small smirks at his humiliation.
"Guess the Spirits messed up on both of our totems." Kenai commented.
"Sitka, show us your totem." Ingrid told the eldest brother.
"Ooh! Ooh! Yeah!" Estelle smiled in agreement.
"Well, I did feel the same way after Tanana gave me mine." Sitka admitted as he then showed his totem which was that of a majestic bird.
"No way!" Kenai shoved him.
"No, really," Sitka replied as he showed them all his totem. "I said, 'The Eagle of Guidance? What does that mean?'. But now that I'm older, I know it's about being a leader and keeping an eye on you two." he then smirked playfully to Kenai before getting him in a headlock.
"Now if only Denahi could be like you." Estelle smiled.
"I just hope someday my little brother will be like you." Ingrid added to Sitka.
"I'm sure he will." Sitka smiled, ruffling up Roshan's hair which made him giggle.
Kenai sighed as he stared at the palm of his hand. "I just wanna get my hand print on that wall."
"I'm sure you will." Vincent said.
"He's right," Sitka agreed. "Just be patient, Kenai. When you live by your totem, you will."
"Really?" Kenai smiled.
"Guarantee it." Sitka smiled back and soon took his hand.
Vincent soon looked to Akito and soon hugged him and gently tugged on his bandanna playfully.
"Hey!" Akito pouted.
"I think Akito has lived up to his a couple of times." Estelle smiled.
"Which is why I've found him during your and Aleu's quest from our first meeting." Ingrid agreed.
"I can't believe how long ago that was," Estelle replied. "It feels like only yesterday, and you've helped us so much through more and more adventures."
"That's so true." Akito smiled.
"But, come on," Kenai still complained. "The Bear of Love? I mean, a bear doesn't love anyone. They don't think, they don't feel, I mean, they're-"
Everyone soon looked to the ground to see paw-prints with arrays of the fish from earlier.
"They're thieves!" Kenai soon finished.
"Uh-oh." Estelle said.
"You didn't tie it up, did you?" Denahi glared at his brother with some other villagers.
"Uh..." Kenai stammered.
"You should've gotten the Totem of Pinheads!" Denahi glared.
"There's no totem for that." Ingrid said.
"Knock it off," Sitka scolded. "We'll just make another basket."
"We?" Denahi scoffed. "Oh, no! It took me two weeks to make that basket. Get Lover Boy here to do it. He's the one who's messing things up all the time."
"Is he blaming Kenai?" Kenai's spirit animal guide asked.
Akito looked around and soon saw the spirit animal beside the disgruntled youngest brother.
"Typical Kenai." Denahi scoffed.
"All right!" Kenai glared as he took out a hunting spear. "I'll go get your basket."
"Kenai, wait!" Sitka called out. "Kenai!" He then glared right at Denahi and even crossed his arms to blame him for making their brother storm off like this.
"What?" Denahi asked.
Sitka shook his head as he didn't like how Denahi treated their little brother.
"Oh, poor Kenai, I should probably do something." Akito said before going off to find the young man as his spirit animal guide known as the wolf began to follow after him.
The others felt concerned, but they let him go.
Akito and his spirit guide followed Kenai and so did his spirit guide. "Gotta help Kenai before he does something stupid." he told himself as he ventured through the forests after Kenai and their spirit guides followed them.
When Kenai found the basket, it was torn to shreds. He kicked around in frustration until he heard the low growling of a bear. Not too far away, there was a bear who appeared to be looking for someone, but soon looked back as Kenai threw rocks and twigs against the base, and where the bear was now looking angry and ready to attack.
Kenai's brothers were soon coming to look for him. Akito was ahead of them and where he saw Kenai. The bear had a low growl against Kenai and Akito. Akito soon listened closely and soon could tell that this bear was a female.
"Calm down, girl," Akito said. "We don't want any trouble."
Kenai looked around as he thought he heard another voice.
"GO AWAY!" The bear roared as they were disturbing her.
"Okay, okay, we'll leave." Akito said.
"Akito, you can't just talk to a bear, there's no reasoning with them unless you kill them!" Kenai told him.
"Kenai, don't!" Akito cried out. "She's a-"
Unfortunately, Kenai did not listen to him. Denahi and Sitka came for Kenai to protect him against the bear who Akito could tell was a mother bear. The only question was where was her cub? Kenai was nearly thrown off the edge of the cliff.
"Ma'am, please, calm down, we're sorry we disturbed you," Akito told the mother bear as Denahi and Sitka began to climb up for their little brother. "Kenai was just angry because you might have accidentally tore the basket that had the fish in it apart."
"Kenai!" Sitka called out and reached for his youngest brother's hand.
"Sitka, no!" Kenai told him. "You gotta get out of here! The bear!"
"More intruders?!" The bear snarled before going to attack Sitka.
"Sitka, behind you!" Akito warned.
"Go away!" The mother bear roared at Sitka.
"Mrs. Bear, please, stop!" Akito begged until Denahi made it worse by throwing rocks at the bear. "Denahi, not helping!"
"Come on, Bear, come this way!" Denahi glared as he held his own spear.
The mother bear snarled and then came toward him as Kenai climbed back up the mountain while Sitka helped him up. Akito soon looked around and soon found the bear cub.
"Mama?" The bear cub looked around. "Mama!"
Akito came toward the cub which startled the cub at first since he was a human and he knew humans as hunters. "It's okay, I won't hurt you." The boy promised the lone bear cub.
"Promise?" The bear cub asked.
"I promise." Akito replied.
"I didn't know you guys could talk to us... At least that's what Mama told me." The cub said.
"Most humans can." Akito said.
"My name's Koda." The bear cub smiled.
"That's a nice name," Akito smiled back. "My name's Akito."
"Its nice to meet you." Koda said.
"Nice to meet you too," Akito smiled before looking around. "Are you by yourself?"
"Yeah, Mama usually hunts alone so I don't get hurt." Koda replied.
"That's smart." Akito said.
"She's been gone for a while though, usually by now we're with the others or just me and her, eating." Koda replied.
They soon heard the ice cracking.
"Did you hear that?" Akito gasped.
"The ice!" Koda panicked.
They both saw that Sitka had made the ice crack and possibly break.
"One of those monsters are gonna fall," Koda whispered. "They're so scary, especially with those sticks."
"They're called spears," Akito said. "Anyway, I have to go now."
"Oh, okay." Koda replied.
Akito rushed over to see if he could help with anything. The mother bear went against Sitka as Kenai was helping Denahi up to safety from the ice ledge.
"Sitka, what are you thinking?!" Akito yelped as he thought Sitka was crazy having to make the ice crack.
"I have to save them..." Sitka panted before grunting as he stabbed his spear into the ice as the mother bear came toward Kenai and Denahi.
"NO! DON'T!" Akito begged.
"He's doing the one thing that can save them." Sitka's spirit guide said.
"Eagle..." Akito whispered.
"It's going to be a heroic sacrifice, you have a very wonderful heart like he does though." The spirit guide told Akito.
"Thanks." Akito smiled.
The spirit guide ruffled Akito's bandanna covered head.
Akito chuckled. "Your feathers tickle."
Sitka knew that he was risking his own life, but it was to protect his brothers against the bear. What he didn't know was that the bear was only protecting her cub.
Akito panicked as Koda was about to become an orphan. "I have to do something." He said to himself.
The mother bear tried to get away from the cracking ice only to fall with Sitka. Without thinking, Akito flew down and saved Sitka, knowing Koda's mother wouldn't get crushed by the ice. Sitka only bowed his head, but glanced up ever so slightly, and where, he was swooped into safety. The ice and glaciers soon fell into the water down below and splashed.
