"I guess I'll start from the beginning. After I got home I went and told your mother first about the news. She was sad that she couldn't see you again but she was happy that you found your home. I told Boris next, then muk and luk. You can imagine their reactions." Balto explained.
"The bears cried didn't they?" Aleu giggled.
Balto nodded "heh, yeah. Boris being the goose that he is tried to hide his sadness but we could all see that he was going to miss you deep down. Speaking of borris, he found himself a girlfriend." Aleu's face lit up in shock at what she had just heard. "Now that's just-, wow." she giggled.
"Yeah, that's our Boris." the grown husky wolf chuckled. "So tell us papa, how did you get back here to this island?" Aleu asked once again.
"Have I got a story to tell you. The humans, they've made this machine, a flying machine. Its almost like a bird. Its called a bush plain. And it can travel faster than sled dogs can. I saved the pilot one time, and he repaid it by letting me fly with him. However an accident occurred. The plain had to land due to low gas fuel, and well, here I am. Lucky for me I smelt familiar scents."
"dad, can we go hunting?" the impatient blade asked. Legolas sighed "fine, Aleu I'm going to go teach Blade here how to hunt, we'll be back shortly." the alpha male picked himself up and went on his way. "Hey Togo, you're coming too!" the black pup scooted his little brother ahead of him. "b-but-,"
"don't worry, papa won't let anything bad happen to us." Alas trotted along with her siblings. "Now your going too?" Togo whined in frustration.
Aleu giggled at the sight. "My pups were born wild and that's how they'll stay." Balto smiled at his daughter. "You've really grown up honey. I'm so proud of you."
"Oh papa…wait! Alister! That wolf, he's back! Legolas wait!" Aleu ran out of the den and chased after her mate. After catching up she told him the news. "very well, I'll let the others know, you go back to the cave and rest up." Legolas ordered. Aleu nodded "okay, but only if you escort us there. Alister could attack, and you and I both know he can't handle all three of us." Legolas grunted at the thought. While he pondered Balto came out and walked to their location. "Who is this Alister?" Balto asked.
Legolas sighed and lowered his ears. "He is a rouge who used to be part of a clan allied with ours. Me and him go way back. When we were just pups, we'd used to play and spar with one another. But as we got older, our rivalry evolved into something else, something bad. His jealousy would soon turn into anger, then hate. He even tried to kill me. Our friendship was destroyed after that. One night while I was hunting our paths crossed again, and that time while we were both distracted, the prey soon attacked and killed Alisters cubs who he was trying to teach how to hunt. Now he thinks its my fault for losing his family. He's been stuck up ever since."
"I see." Balto sighed letting all the information sink in. Aleu sprung up "Come on. We've better hurry to the cave before he decides to come at us, and he attacks brutally. Trust me, I know." Balto's eyes lit up "did he hurt you?" Balto rushed to his daughters side. "Yeah, left for dead, I would have died too had Legolas not found me and treated my wounds." Aleu nuzzled her mate who returned the embrace.
"Thank you for looking after my daughter son, you have my blessing." Balto bowed his head before the auburn alpha. "I don't know what I would do without her sir. I am truly grateful to be with her." he said with a lick to Aleu's cheek.
"Come on dad, please? I'm sure you and mom can take him!" Blade trotted around his father whining. "No son, not without the rest of the pack. I promise we'll go after this is taken care of." Blade pouted and walked off. Aleu picked Alas up by the neck and Legolas did the same for Togo.
The three arrived shortly after and told the rest of the clan the news. Aleu ordered the omega's Sumac, Nuk and Yak to go guard the entrance of the cave should anything suspicious happen outside. The other wolves gathered around for a meeting. "So whats the plan?" a black female wolf asked. "first we travel in groups of five. Should you find him, don't try to take him on by yourself, remember, he murdered his own clan by himself, he's not to be taken lightly. You howl if you run into him." the clan agreed and they all settled of for the hunt.
"So where do we start papa?" Legolas's fur stood up as he jumped from the surprise pounce from his daughter. "Oh no. You're staying in the cave were your uncles and aunts and babysitters can watch over you." Legolas lectured. "You heard him, come on lets go sis." Togo wasted no time and turned tail. "I'll stay with them for protection." Balto volunteered. "Thanks papa. Take good care of them." balto along with the young cubs watched Aleu and Legolas leave until their images could no longer be seen from afar.
