Chapter 1:
A day in the life part 1
BALTO" said a loud and raspy voice, with a quick move BALTO rose with a mix of surprise and fear, for a moment he stood still and acclimated himself to his surroundings, little by little, and as the initial shock faded away, BALTO slowly started to recognize his room.
The room wasn't exactly big I could barely accommodate a bed, a small closet, and a little desk with an old lamp. The room was located on the second floor of the house and made out of wood, Balto didn't live a luxurious life, as the few things he owned were some old use toys, a few books, a few clothes, his backpack, however amongst all of his stuff there was something that stood out for its value, at least for Balto.
"BALTO wake up, breakfast is ready," said again the raspy voice with a distinctive accent.
Balto stood up from the bed and came out of his room directly to the bathroom, with a yawning face and sleepy eyes, he quickly took a bath, went back to his room, and started to put on some clothes, Wich consisted of light blue snow pants, Snow boots color black and with white stripes, a grey shirt. And finally, a light brown snow jacket with fluff parts and a hoodie, once Balto was ready. He directed Himself to the door however he stopped as he remember that he forgot something, he walked to his desk and from the drawer, he took out a small wooden box carved by hand in a real handmade way,
Inside the box was a goldish color pendant, with a symbol carved into the center, this was the most beloved possession that Balto had, this pendant was something that Balto never left or stay away that much, for it had an important meaning
As Balto proceeded to put the pendant on the same voice called for him once more, at Wich Balto answered
"Comming," said Balto as he open the room and started to walk down the stairs.
..
...
The floor below wasn't big. A sofa, a chimney with a tv device and some small furniture made up the living room at the beginning of the stairs, at the right was the kitchen, a modest one, a small oven with 3 burners, a small dishwasher and sink, and a few cabinets.
This was Balto's home, tiny but nothing that he lamented since it was way better than spending the night outside in the cold winter since the place that Balto lived was known for extremely cold weather most of the time. With a warm and comfy bed and warm food, one could survive, and the one who provided that warm food was none other than an old goose called Boris who was waiting for Balto at the table.
"Finally, I was starting to worry you never waking up,"
"Sorry Boris, I overslept a little," said Balto with a little embarrassing
" A little? I've called you like a hundred times, a little more and I would have to throw water at you to wake you," said Boris as he went for the soup casserole in the oven,
" That would be a little extreme," said Balto with a little confused face
" Nonsense, from where I came from that's how we wake up everyone and It works"
"But we are not in where you came from," said Balto sarcastically
Boris stop serving the food in the bowls as he looked back at Balto
"What did you say?"
Balto quickly backtracked his word and said an evasive question
"I mean what is going to have for breakfast," said as he stutter a little
Boris quickly forgot his attitude and went back to him pouring the food into 2 bowls
"Gladly that you ask since it's today I made my specialty," said as he served the food
" Fish a la Trotsky" exclaim as he gave the bowl to Balto, which consisted of a green soup full of vegetables with a fish head coming out of it
It is to say that the flavor wasn't something that Balto admired, but while the taste was something that could scare away someone, Balto was in no position of throwing it away, for he knew what hunger felt like and didn't want to go through that experience ever again.
Balto filled himself with determination and s
Began to eat, the breakfast went almost without anything major,
" So did you sleep well, any dream worth talking about?" Said Boris as he was reading the news in a newspaper,
Balto was about to tell him of The weird dream he had however he stopped for a moment as he thought to himself that it was just a dream and probably not worth telling it
"No, not really," said Balto while he continued to eat the soup
" Really? Not even a nightmare, o a dream about a pretty red husky?"
Balto froze at the question he knew pretty well who Boris was referring to, he looked up a bit blushed and he just answered with a flustered tone
"N... no.. maybe but, no I mean. I don't dream those kinds of stuff"
Boris chuckled as he looked at Balto
"Balto, every kid at your age has those dreams it's a natural thing, you see a girl and changes start, to appear especially in"
"WOAH HEY HEY; YOU KNOW IM RUNNING A BIT LATE AND DONT WANT TO BE LATE OR HAVE THIS CONVERSATION SO IM GONNA GO besidesmukandlukmustbewaitingforme, JAJA, LOVE YOU BORIS BYE"
Said Balto moved as quickly as he could towards the door and finally exited the door. While Boris only stared at the door and simply smiled and went back to his lecture
"Heh, that chum"
...,...
Outside of the house, the view was an impressive one, Balto's home was located in the outskirt hills of the town it was made out of an old fire watch tower that Boris refurbished, it wasn't the biggest tower however it was enough, and the ability to see almost everything was something else
Balto walked down the stairs and stood to admire the view for one moment.
The mountains started to be visible more and more as the sun began rising above them, a layer of snow covered the ground, Balto stood a moment outside on the porch of the house getting himself a warm breath to his hand paws, and as he quivered a little due to a cold chill current of wind he looked to the mountains and stared for a moment and said.
"I guess the winter will come sooner, sure it's gonna get chilly over here"
Suddenly a noise took him out of his distraction.
A vehicle came out of the forest, hovering above the surface and in the shape of a "y"
The vehicle looked very old, as it was a 20-year-old model, and the age was showing, with cables, rust, and many parts of different colors let know that it had been repaired a dozen times,
And the owner of such a vehicle did just that, the aero glider was named the "wind rider" and when it stopped just outside of Balto's house, fro it came to its occupants, two polar bears
They were Muk and Luk and both of them were brothers, twin to be exactly however very different from each other
Muk was the older brother, he was short at least shorter than Balto, wore a light Bronw leather jacket, snow pants and snow boots, mechanic goggles, and gloves, and a tool belt, who should diverse items and tools,
Luk was the other bear with a bigger height, wore a blue mechanic overall, a reddish large coat, some gloves with the finger out, mechanic pants and boots, and instead of Goggles a welding modified visor,
But their differences didn't stop there for these two brother were a show
"I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR STUFF IN THERE," said Muk as he came out of the vehicle shouting to his brother, who responded with a series of Hand sign language movements,
"BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I PUT MI STUFF, IMPORTANT StUFF NOT FOR SNACKS," said Muk
The discussion between them continued as Balto only sighed and make a little smile, this was a conduct that both brothers always displayed and Balto was the one who always saw them doing it.
"Early in the morning and you guys Shure don't waste any time making noise," said Balto as he approached them,
"Well I wouldn't make so much noise if it wasn't for SOMEONE, who always finds ways to make me angry," said Muk with a sarcastic tone to which Luk responded with a series of Hand movements,
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" shouted Muk as he took an aggressive posture ready to strike his brother but luckily Balto got there and stood between them.
"Guys, knock it off, this is not the time or place for this," said Balto as he pushed them to get them separated.
"Tell that to him always provoking me, I bet he's just jealous cus I'm the smart one," said Muk as he turn his back on luk, as he did the same.
"Look you guys can spend the entire day arguing against each other but if we do not get moving we ain't gonna make it in time, besides you two are brothers, you got to stick together no matter what"
"Muk I know luk is sometimes a little much to handle but I'm sure that you do not want anything to happen to him" Muk only made a little grunt sound, and the Balto turned to luk
"And luk, I know you don't mean what you say but words still hurt man"
With some more hand movement luk replied after a moment of silence,
"Yes, I know he is grumpier than Boris when he doesn't drink his morning vodka and rude, condescending, and..."
"You guys done? or should I get some popcorn?"
"Sorry," said Balto as he chuckled a bit " the thing is that brothers aren't supposed to fifth, you guys are supposed to help each other so, what do you say? Coul you let this nonsense under the snow?" Said Balto as the tho brother continued facing back to each other until luk was the one who broke the silence.
"Uhh, fine but only cus you asked"
"Great now that that is over, why won't the 3 of us get going before we get late to school?"
"Uhh fine but only cus you're right," said Muk as he begin his way to the vehicle, BALTO and luk just stared at each other and shrug they're shoulders, as also began to get in the vehicle, once inside they're put on they're helmets and. Began the journey to the town.
The warm sunlight's of the sun surrounded the road on Wich the vehicle traveled, It wasn't easy to traverse, mostly a dirt road, however, the town of Nome wasn't that far, approximately 30 minutes from Balto house using a vehicle
On the way to the town, the 3 friends talked about various topics, homework, breakfast, etc they even talked about their weekends
"If it was awful," said Muk "we had a bunch of work the entire weekend and the grease bolter just shut down cuz someone left the heath controller off". Said as he took a quick but irritated look at his brother who in response quickly answered to snap back at him
" No, I was not sleeping during the process, I was just, deep thinking"
Luk only looked at his brother with an annoyed face and the two of them stared at each other a bit before Balto talked
"Why don't you just concentrate on keeping your eyes on the road before you two get sudden distance from a tree"
Muk Just grunted and continue driving, while luk gave Balto a happy smile with a thumbs up.
And so they continued their way to the town.
