Part I - Nanook
"Come on!" Encouraged Nanook, "You can make it!"
Nanook and his mate, Stardust, were on their way North to the mountains. They were a new couple, only just broke free of their pack.
It was time for the caribou to go north. The two were following them, as they had been all week. They were really tired now, and looking for a place to rest.
"There!" gasped Stardust, "Please, let's stop."
Nanook hated to see his mate suffer, so he followed her gaze to some abandoned beds, probably used last summer. They stopped and rested.
Nanook was the great-grandpup of Balto. Nanook still hadn't seen his grandmother, Alue, since he was a pup.
He looked exactly like Balto, with a small circular marking on his forehead (since it was on fur, the mark looked like a star, with straying hairs for points). Since his Alue was (somehow) a wolf, Nanook was pure wolf, just like his mate. He had never heard about his brothers, Cody and the rest.
Stardust was a pretty black wolf, with white hind legs up to her wrists. One of her fore paws was white, just the paw, and the other was black. Her whole face was white, like Genna.
The two slept solidly for the whole next twenty-four hours. Then, of course, they were hungry. They brought down an old caribou and ate.
They went by that schedule for the whole month, regaining their strength and gathering extra for future purposes.
How he came to be even he did not know. All Jadt-Fetrii (pronounced JADet fee-TRI-i) knew was his name. People laughed at it, but he liked it. People called him Jat, for short.
He was a young, strong, gray wolf with white face with Alue's design.
He didn't know his past, except for the recent past, and of course the present. All he knows for sure is that he needs a pack…and soon…
