With the news that Aleu and Kodi has just received from Nava they were feeling a little homesick already and they haven't even been on the island for more than 2 minutes " Aleu I really loved hanging out with you today but, don't you think we could do it somewhere else other than Big Diomede? I would rather be in the woods of Nome, Alaska." " I know you want to go home Kodi and so do I but we're gonna have to wait for a while at least 4 days 3 days tops that is if the ice bridge forms that night." " Oh no I will have to miss the mail run on Friday and Monday. I hope the team won't be too upset that I'm gone." Nava and Niju were still there listening to the trees and blades of grass for any sign of the clan " Aleu can you show us where the wolf clan is located at? Me and Niju need to get to them and tell them the great news of my return to the leadership position." " Um yeah about that Nava. I may or may not have told you this but Taku has taken the lead of leadership even though by the way of the wolf got defeated by me in a dual to prove his leadership to the pack." " Well let's go find them then he needs to be taught a lesson about doing such a thing like that." " What are you going to do with Taku? He didn't do anything wrong." " Yes he did Aleu. When I was leading the clan before you came and took over we had a rule and that rule was to never follow the way of the wolf at least not that one. There are several ways to choose a new leader other than using violence and Taku broke that rule." " No he didn't Nava it wasn't his fault. Aniu came to me and told me that she told Taku to challenge me to a duel in order to prove his leadership to the clan so, if anyone should be blamed it should be Aniu not Taku." " Alright I will contact Aniu immediately after I find the clan I'll sit down with both Aniu and Taku and discuss this issue. Good-bye my brother and sister may the way be different for both of you two on your return back home for good and, when you do return tell your father Balto that I found Niju and turned him over to the good side of the wolves." " Yes I'll do that Nava. Good luck to the both of you and it's great to have seen you again Niju such a wonderful thing that you changed." With that said Nava and Niju left the area in search of their missing clan. " Hey Aleu what do we do now that we have no leader? Your outta the clan and no longer a leader where will we go? Where will we rest up at until the ice bridge forms again?" " Okay Kodi here is what we're going to do. First off I may not be in the clan or be a leader anymore but I'm still old enough and wise enough to know this we'll make it home and in no time you'll be harnessed up running back and forth between White Mountain and Nome. I also know that mom and dad will not worry because if they need comfort they'll go and see the other siblings for company but, now follow me to my personal den I was staying in when I was leading the clan and living on the island." " Okay Aleu but I have one question." " Oh and what would that be younger brother?" " Is your den really cozy?" " Yes it's the most warmest and most cozy den you've ever been in you'll not want to leave or get up in the morning." " Well let's go Aleu! I knew how cold Big Diomede really was till I got here." " Yeah Kodi. Don't worry it's not that far from the ice bridge landing only 2 miles west of here. Then once we're there we'll rest up for the rest of the day and tomorrow I'll teach you how to catch your first wild caribou and trust me when I say it you'll want my help I have the experience to kill these things." " Alright sis let's go!" Aleu and Kodi got to the den just before the sunset beneath the horizon and they crawled inside. Once the two were inside and safe from the cold wind blowing from Russia toward Alaska Aleu and Kodi got really close together to share their body heat and stay warm if any coldness got in they wouldn't freeze to death. Morning was coming quick Aleu could still remember the time zone changes on the island so, she quickly ran out of the den ( leaving Kodi unattended to sleep in ) toward the river to lap up some water. The rivers name was Little Strait and it ran through the island and into the ocean " I hope Kodi won't mind that I get a headstart on the day." So Aleu took off without hesitation and started the day with a smile on her face.
