Chapter 4 return to adventure

Hi guys! Sorry for the long waiting, but I was busy with my first Balto's fanfiction: "the rise of Xaver –the begining-", that I recommend you to read it. Obviusly if you are interested.

By the way, I hope you like this new chapter.

Fleet and Magril continued their escape, the two little wolves had been traveling for a long time and the effort was already beginning to be felt. Meanwhile, two wolves of the Rogue pack were on the trail of the two puppies, were instructed by Arawn to follow the two pups and kill them.

Rogue wolf 1: "their smell becomes louder. We are very close"

Rogue wolf 2: "so let's go! When we finish with them, Arawn will promote us superior delta"

Rogue wolf 1: "I can't wait for this to happen"

The two rogue wolves continued to follow the path that led to the west, Fleet and Magril had walked that path a little while ago, the wolves of the pack Rouge saw the two puppies right in front of them, began to growl as they rushed against the pups.

Fleet and Magril avoided the jaws of the two wolves with great agility and resumed running as fast as possible to the west.

Meanwhile, the two Rogue began to argue with each other, blaming each other for the failed attempt.

Rogue wolf 1: "You're an idiot! You let them escape"

Rogue wolf 2: "it was all your fault! You should have blocked them with claws"

Rogue wolf 1: "why didn't you do it then?!"

Rouge wolf 2: "Arawn and King are really wrong to send you on a mission with me"

Rouge wolf 1: "I can say the same about you!"

In the meantime...

In the territory of the western pack, the succession ceremony was about to begin. All members of the east and west flock were gathered to witness the great event, and each wolf had a smile on their face. All of Kate and Humprey's close friends were there...all but Nars and his pups. Humprey began to be worry, it was not so late by him and the ceremony was about to start.

Humprey: "Nars has not shown up yet. he had confirmed to me that he would come to the ceremony"

Kate: "probably he has a sudden mishap, you'll see that soon he will be here"

Humprey: "...I hope so"

Shortly thereafter, the howls of Winston and Eve were heard, announcing the beginning of the ceremony. Kate Humphrey and the pups came out of their cave and saw two whole packs of wolves, which long ago were always fighting, now they are all in harmony with each other. Kate and Humprey approached the old wolves and immediately Winston began his discourse:

Winston: "wolves of the western and eastern pack. Today I. Winston, I leave the pack in my daughter's paws. Kate, and his mate, Humprey. Together they will protect you and guide you towards a glorious future, wishing that this sun can always shine on our territory"

At that moment Kate and Humprey stood by the side of Winston to observe more the huge crowd that was witnessing the ceremony. Kate had a big smile on her face, she still could not believe that one of her greatest dreams had finally come true and she felt more than ready to lead the pack. Humprey, however, didn't feel so ready for the new role, but his beloved Kate would give him all the help he could, so after all there was not so much to worry about.

Suddenly we heard the howls in the distance and didn't seem so friendly. Kate turned and saw two wolves of the Rogue pack who were chasing two pups. Claudette immediately recognized the two little wolves and was very frightened to see Fleet and Magril in danger.

Kate: "still those damn Rogue"

Claudette: "Mom, they're trying to catch Fleet and her sister, please save them"

Kate: "don't worry, honey, we'll save them. Let's go, Humprey!"

The wolf couple ran against the two invaders, Garth and Lily also joined the attack. One of the two Rouge wolves was dangerously close to Fleet , but thanks to his timing he still managed to avoid the jaws of the pursuer.

Garth: Kate. What is the plan?

Kate: "you, Humprey and I think fight the Rogue. Lilly will bring the two puppies to safety. Are you all ready?"

Humprey, Garth, Lilly: "yes!"

Kate assaulted one of the Rogue wolves, while Humprey pounced on the second wolf. Kate severely injured his target with a series of claws hits, but Humprey had some difficulty with his enemy, the wolf Rouge managed to counter Humprey's attack and land him on the ground.

Rogue wolf 2: *laught* "you thought to have hold me to tight, now you will discover what happens to put himself against the Rogues"

The wolf was about to bite Humprey's neck, but Garth managed to push the rogue wolf away from his ally. Kate, Humprey and Garth snarled menacingly at their enemy, who by now had no more hope alone against three wolves, so he decided to retire with his wounded partner.

Meanwhile, Lilly had joined the pack along with Fleet and Magril and took them safely into the cave. The two little wolves breathed heavily because of the reckless escape. Magril was still very frightened and still trembling with fear, fortunately Lilly managed to calm her down, at least for a while.

Claudette, along with her brothers, entered the cavern to greet their two friends, although in reality it was not the right time. So Claudette hug Fleet and Magril to console them. after Kate and Humphrey went back into the cave to interrogate the two pups, Magrill still could not talk from the fear, then Fleet had to tell all.

Kate: "why were the Rogues chasing you?"

Fleet: "they attacked our pack. My sister and I escaped, but apparently they did not want to spare anyone"

Humphrey: "impossible. The Rogues have never managed to counteract your defensive strength, there must be more"

Fleet: "yes ... the Rouge pack has allied with another pack. If I remember correctly their leader is called Arawn"

Kate could not believe his ears, as soon as she heard that name she felt a strong shiver down her spine , she had heard many times about Arawn and what she had done long ago. The pack of Arawn was made up of the most ruthless wolves in all of Jasper Park, for which reason it was a pack feared by everyone. If Arawn and King really joined forces, then this meant that they were really unbeatable and Kate feared that soon they would attack their pack.

Meanwhile, Winston was eavesdropping on the conversation, and when he heard his three nephews ask who he was and Arawn, he interfected.

Kate: "I can't believe it. That monster is back"

Stinky, Runt, Claudette: "who is Arawn?"

Kate: "well... pups. Arawn is..."

Winston: "Arawn is the most evil wolf of all Jasper. The only thing we want is the domain of this park, facing anyone cont r o him. It doesn't surprise me that he and King have decided to ally themselves to conquer the whole Jasper Park"

Humprey: "what can we do now?"

Winston: "we must fight them before they get here with their packs. Those two must be stopped as soon as possible"

Humprey didn't agree that declaring war would solve the situation, even Kate thought differently about her father's decision.

Humprey: "but Winson, if we declare war on Arawn and King, many of our wolves will probably die in vain"

Kate: "I agree with you Humprey, first of all we must decide how to move. As the new leader of the pack, I will gather our alpha to discuss this matter"

Kate was about to leave the cave, when suddenly Magril started talking. She hoped so much that her father was still alive, so she asked the two new leaders to go and look for him.

Magril: "wait! Our father is perhaps out there and he is still alive. Please, go to help him"

Kate knew Arawn very well. And in all his countless battles he hasn't never left pity for anyone, so it was unlikely that Nars had survived in the attack. Despite this, however, Kate would leave at north to take a look.

Kate: "All right, Magril. Humprey and I'll go check"

In the meantime...

The two Rogue wolves returned to their northern territory to report to Arawn and King what had happened during their mission. The battle saw the Rouge and the Arawn's pack victorious, manymembers of the Northern pack managed to escape, but not as much as those who lost their lives that day trying in vain to protect the territory, and probably Nars was one of those who died in battle.

When the two Rogue wolves entered, they were sure their leaders wouldn't like to know that they had failed in such a simple task, and Arawn would have noticed immediately that one of the two wolves had been seriously injured.

Rogue wolf 2: "my lords ... we have to tell you something about the mission"

King: "I just hope they're good news"

Arawn: "why is your partner hurt and not you?"

Rogue wolf 1: "the wolves of the west pack ... they attacked us while we were chasing those two pups. I tried to defend myself ... but I was outnumbered ... and this idiot of my partner has preferred to run away and let me die"

King: "damn it! At least did you managed to kill the sons of Nars?!"

Both shook their heads in denial. Arawn was furious, but not only because they failed the mission, partly because of their weakness and cowardice in dealing with their enemies. since Arawn had allied with King, he had noticed too many mistakes in choosing the role of some members of his pack.

Arawn: "you're two good for nothing! We have given you a very simple task, and you come back here hurt and frightened. Obviously you don't deserve the role of delta, so from now until your death, you'll be useless omega. Now you disappear from my sight ... you don't! You stay where you are"

The wounded wolf went away, but the other was stopped by Arawn, who was approaching with an evil smile on his face, certainly he didn't have good intentions.

Suddenly Arawn took the right ear of the wolf with his sharp teeth and began to tighten with all his strength to completely detach the ear. Meanwhile, other members of the Rogue pack were observing the terrible scene as they heard the harrowing screams of their companion's pain. Finally Arawn spat the ear that was still between his teeth directly in the face of the wolf to humiliate him in front of everyone.

Arawn: "let this be an example for you all! If you fail or refuse to execute my command, I will make you regret bitterly"

The wolf ran away from the cave, meanwhile Arawn returned to sit next to King, he too had witnessed the scene and began to have doubts about Arawn's methods.

King: "don't you think it would be enough just to degrade them?"

Arawn: "my dear King. Only show all your strenght and evilness you can have a powerful and disciplined pack, like mine. I have decided that tomorrow I will take a look to your alpha and delta wolves, so to see if they really deserve their roles"

To be continued...
