Okay. Just to let you know, my computer is acting weird so I couldn't finish this chapter there. I had to redo it on my iPad, which is why it took so long. But anyway, enjoy!


"Ugh...My head...What happened?"

Bolt woke up in a dark forest. Not a single sound could be heard except an eerie silence.

"Where am I?"

Bolt looked straight ahead of him and saw a circle with strange symbols and markings marked on the ground. Within the circle was an unfamiliar language.

"What the heck does this say?" Bolt asked himself as he walked up to the circle.

The letters and symbols suddenly arranged themselves so that Bolt could understand.

"Huh? That was weird... Until the balance has been disrupted, the darkness shall never be erupted...What does that even mean?"

"Bolt! Wake up!" cried a familiar voice.

"Mittens? Where are you?"

Bolt's entire surroundings were fading, but before completely disappearing, a dark figure with Bolt's likeness emerged from the circle, glaring at him.


Bolt opened his eyes and saw Mittens, Penny, and Rhino.

"...Hey guys."

"Bolt! You're okay!" shouted Penny.

She hugged him and kissed him on his forehead. Penny then noticed his lightning bolt mark.

"Bolt, how did that get there?"

Bolt looked on his left side and saw the mark, then looked back at her with a clueless expression.

"Well, I guess it doesn't matter, just as long as you're okay."

She petted him on the head and stood up and turned to her mom, who was standing in the doorway.

"I wonder what that light was." she said to her.

Both walked back into the house.

Meanwhile, Bolt shook himself up.

"What...just happened?" he asked.

"I have no idea. First, you tell me to watch out for something. Next thing I know, I see you on the ground as if you were shot by a bullet. You were bleeding really badly." said Mittens.

She looked at Bolt's side and saw nothing but his mark.

"How is that even possible?" she asked.

"What?"

"It's as if you were never hit in the first place. No blood. No wound. Nothing, except...How did you get that?!"

She pointed to the mark.

"You got me there. It's so odd." Bolt said, looking at his mark.

He tried rubbing it off with his paw, but it was still there. Not even a smudge.

"Well, DUH! It's obvious where he got the mark." said Rhino. "Don't you remember, Bolt? You got your bolt when you were given your powers by Penny's dad."

Mittens rolled her eyes.

Bolt's ear twitched. He turned in the direction that the front on the house was facing.

"Who's there!" Bolt called.

"What is it, Bolt?" Rhino asked.

"I heard...someone...or something."

Rhino and Mittens looked where Bolt was looking.

"There's no one there." said Mittens.

"But I definitely heard someone. Someone's breathing."

Far across from the house, the wolf was quietly listening. He gasped when he heard Bolt tell about hearing someone's breathing.

"Whoever it is, he or she can hear me." said Bolt. "Show yourself!" he called.

The wolf emerged from the bush.

"Here I am." he said.

"Who are you and what's your business here?"

The wolf walked over to the front of the house. Bolt growled and took a defensive stance.

"I am not your enemy...Bolt." the wolf said.

"So you were spying on us! What do you want with us?!" Bolt growled.

"My name is Storm. I'm not from this world. I come from another dimension, Solunara."

"Did you hit your head or something, buddy? I find this hard to believe." Bolt chuckled.

"Great. Just what we need. Another delusional nut job." said Mittens sarcastically.

Bolt shot a look at Mittens.

"...Sorry. Let that one slip out."

"I believe him." said Rhino.

"Really?" asked Bolt.

"Rhino, you can't be serious." said Mittens.

"I'm dead serious. This guy came from another dimension seeking help from you, Bolt. And it's your duty as a super dog to help out anyone in need of help."

"It's true! We do need your help, Bolt." said Storm.

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Bolt inquired.

"I know what is the object that struck you just now."

Bolt's ears perked up.

"You do? How would you know, unless..."

Bolt grew angry and pounced onto Storm with incredible force. He held him down by the throat.

"You were trying to kill Mittens! WHY?!" he roared.

"He WHAT?!" Mittens shouted.

"...N-No...I wasn't...trying to kill...anyone..." Storm choked. "It was...the Shard..."

"What?" asked Bolt.

"Let me...explain."

Bolt reluctantly let go of Storm. Storm coughed as he tried to catch his breath.

"Bolt, you are the Shard Bearer."

"I'm the what?"

"The Shard Bearer. The new leader of my people. The object that struck you earlier was the Solar Shard. It fused with you so that could be our leader."

"Wa-Wa-Wait. Back up. This Shard...is inside me?"

"Yes. In fact, it is clear to see by your mark."

"My...mark? But I've had- well, used to have- this mark, before this...thing hit me."

"It's common that the Shard makes a mark that most reflects who you are."

"And you say I have to lead your people. Who are your people?"

"We are the Solunarans. As I said before, we come from another dimension and my people are also wolves, along with other animals."

"Okay...this is hard to follow."

"Let me start from the beginning."


And that beginning will be next chapter. Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you soon.
