Nome Family Park
02:45 p.m.
"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Chapter 3: "Dreams of a Wolf, Unsolved."
Dingo, Boris, and Ember arrived at the Park where they let Boris watch the pups. Ember spoke up, "So, about the dream you had. We need to think, what could have triggered such an unusual dream that just came out of nowhere."
Dingo tried to think but to no avail, "Hmm, Dad mentioned something about him having dreams about a raven, but what could that have to do with anything?"
Ember quickly thought of something, "That's it! If your dad mentioned something about a raven in the same exact scenario, it obviously has something to do with the dream you had!"
Dingo was surprised but also somewhat confused, "Maybe we should ask him? Wait, I forgot he went looking for Aleu. Maybe Boris can help us?" Dingo looked over at the pups and Boris, "Nope, he seems pretty occupied with the pups right now." Dingo wanted to get this solved as soon as he could, he had a bad feeling about something that he couldn't take off his mind.
Ember couldn't think of anything either, she just dropped it, "We should probably wait until tomorrow when we can ask Boris or wait until Balto comes back. He's had the same experience, and he's a living legend in himself, he'll know what to do for sure."
Dingo shook his head in agreement, "Yeah, for now why don't we have some fun with the pups? Boris looks like his wings and legs have had it for the day."
"Heh, agreed. Let's go enjoy an afternoon with our pups." Ember and Dingo walked over to where Boris and the pups were and started to watch them play.
Boris was trying to escape from the pups, but got tackled every time he tried to run, "Come on, stop what you are doing! Ouch! Hey, that's my foot!"
"Alright, Uncle Boris isn't a punching bag. Come on your four, let's go to the beach where you pups can play in the shore." Three of the pups ran off towards Ember while Nikita stayed behind to rough-house with Boris, "Hey come on, take it easy there tiger." Dingo pulled Nikita off Boris' chest and set her down with the rest of the pups.
"Well, the kiddos are taking from you and Ember I see. Nikita takes more after you than Ember, other than fur of course." Boris said, looking at Nikita and the rest of the pups.
"I dunno Boris, Ember has more Wolf heritage than me, I'm only a quarter wolf, she's half." Dingo said with a smile of confidence, "Which means that overall they are basically in between 45 and 50 percent wolf. One of the only major things I passed down is my red and white fur."
"Point proven, so they have more of a wolf heritage than you, and your brothers and sisters."
Dingo watched as Ember and the pups headed off for the beach, "Come on Boris, we'd better catch up to them. Do you want to ride on my back or fly?"
Boris knew the obvious answer, "I'll ride on back, I do not fly after all."
Dingo stopped in his tracks, "Wait, you don't fly? I thought geese could fly?"
Boris didn't want to give out his darkest secret, but had to let it out to Dingo, "I said I do not fly, I can fly but I just choose not to." Boris motioned for Dingo to lean over, "I hate heights, ever since I was child, I have never flown more than 20 feet off ground."
"Why didn't you just tell me from the get-go? I don't laugh at what people are afraid of unless it's something ridiculous."
"I thought you would make fun of me, thank you for not Dingo."
"Come on, we'll talk later, we need to catch up before they beat us there!"
With Boris on his back, Dingo ran as fast as he could to catch up with Ember and the pups when they finally arrived at the beach where his father's house was located.

Balto's Ship House: Beach
05:01 p.m.
"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Dingo arrived at the beach where he saw Ember and the pups already there playing around in the sand, he walked up to them, "Well, you guys beat me and Boris. Sorry, we got kind of sidetracked."
Ember smiled, "Hey, at least you made it. Did you talk to Boris about it yet?"
"Did you talk to me about what Dingo? Is there something on mind that you want to talk with me about?" Boris asked, looking concerned
"Yeah, it's about this dream I had last night. See, I found myself running, but I didn't know where I was at the time. I turned around and saw a Wolf chasing me, he chased me for a good minute until he caught up and jumped on me and that's when I woke up."
Boris immediately knew what this was, "Dingo, I want you to get good sleep tonight, Balto had the same problem before he went off to look for Aleu and I think it may have something to do with that." Boris reminisced about all of the times he woke Balto up from dreaming what seemed like a similar scenario
Dingo had faith in Boris, "Alright, I'll tell you if anything else happens in the dream. That is, if I have it again anyways."
Dingo, Ember, Boris, and the pups stayed out for another half-hour, Dingo wondered if Ember wanted to get to know his mother a little better since they had only met for a few minutes, "Hey Ember, I know this is a little random, but you didn't really get to know my mother and Kodi very well, would you like to go see them while Boris watches the pups?"
"Actually, I was wondering when I'd get to meet them for real and see who they really are. I think we should bring the pups too, your mom should get to meet them properly too, right? Why don't we go and get Kodi and Dingo too? They didn't really get a proper introduction to the pups, I mean we didn't name them yet when they were there."
Dingo nodded and they brought the pups over to Jenna's house.

"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Jenna was sleeping when she was woken up by scratching at her door, "Now who could that be? Surely Balto can't be back already." Jenna opened the door to see Dingo, Ember, and their pups. "Oh, hey Dingo! Hello Mrs. Ember, and I can see you brought the puppies over too! Just this morning I saw them fresh born and now they have names and a fur coat, what are their names Dingo?"
"Good to see you again Jenna, let's see, the one that looks like me is named Nikita which means little one, the girl with the white ears and white muzzle is named Luna for the moon, the boy with the red muzzle and white ears is named Kazu for peace, and the last one is named Zodiac."
"What lovely names, good choice, both of you. Dingo, why don't you go get your brothers and we can all meet the pups and Ember here? They'd love to meet them for real this time. Besides, I want to talk with Ember for a little bit too."
"Alright, I was going to just go bring them individually, but that'll work too. I'll go find them, be back in a few!" Dingo left to go find his two brothers. He first heads to the Post Office, "Kodi should be at the Post Office getting ready for the mail delivery tomorrow, Yukon should be at his little hideout in the boiler room behind the carpenter's shed. Hopefully I'll make it in time." Dingo set off for the Post Office.

U.S. Mail Post Office: Dog Housing
06:44 p.m.
"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Kodi was getting ready for the mail when he heard someone call his name, "Huh? Is someone there?" Kodi saw Dingo enter the room, "Oh, hey Dingo! What's up? How are Ember and the pups doing?" Kodi seemed happy to see him again.
"Nothing much, they've been good. That's actually what I came here to see you about, do you want to come see them again before you leave for the mail? I'm going to find Yukon too."
"Oh for sure bro! I'd love to see them again, do they have names yet?" Kodi asked.
"Yup, we've got Luna, Nikita, Kazu, and Zodiac. They're all great pups, it was hilarious how they played with Uncle Boris. They did the same things we did to him when we were pups." Dingo said chuckling.
"Boris? Oh man, those were the days. Hah, we always chewed on his wings and feet when we were teething, he'd always take us swimming and to the park. Anyways, let's go find Yuke, I'm sure he'd be happy to come along!"
Kodi and Dingo left the Post Office, running into Mr. Simpson on the way out, "Hey Kodi, where ya going?" Mr. Simpson looked at Dingo, "Who is this, boy? He looks just like you, is he your brother?"
Kodi and Dingo jumped up on him and licked Mr. Simpson in the face.
"Haha, okay okay. Just be back here in time for the mail tomorrow Kodi." Mr. Simpson made some preparations for tomorrows mail run while Kodi and Dingo went to go find Yukon.
Kodi and Dingo were making their way through the main part of town when they saw another red husky who looked like Aleu, but with red fur.
Dingo was the first to speak up, "Hey Kodi, doesn't she look familiar? She looks kind of like Saba." Kodi looked a little bit closer, "Yeah, she has those orange eyes, she looks a lot like Mom. Let's go ask her, maybe she actually is Saba."
Dingo and Kodi walked over to her, Dingo spoke up first, "Excuse me, are you Saba, daughter of Balto and Jenna?" The girl looked at them and asked, "Depends on who's aski- Oh my, is it really you? Dingo, Kodi?"
Kodi whispered in Dingo's ear, "Heh, told you." Dingo smiled and said, "Yeah, it's us, how've you been sis?" Dingo said with a smile hugging his sister. "I've been good, I haven't been to Nome since I was adopted. Truth is, I ran away from home."
Dingo and Kodi looked at each other concerned, "Why?" they both said. Saba turned to her other side, showing them her legs and side which were full of cuts and bruises, "They treated me like garbage ever since day one, I ran away about three days ago, I ran into another dog and he was relentless, I got into a fight with him and he chased me away."
Kodi's mouth was hung open while Dingo showed hate and rage in his eyes, "Where did they live? We're going to go get whoever did this to you!" Kodi snapped out of it, "Nobody deserves this, especially our sister! Now tell us so we can go make them pay for what they've done to you!" Kodi snapped.
Saba showed fright in her eyes, "No, you won't make it back alive, if you go even with dad and Yukon, they'll shoot all three of you!" Dingo quickly snapped back, "I don't care! It's enough that my own mate went through this, but when it's my sister, it's a completely different story! Now tell me where they live NOW!" Saba realized she could not stop him, but she could at least help him destroy the people she hated most, "Alright, but under only one condition. I want to come with you, I want to help destroy the people who made the first few months of my life hell." Dingo couldn't say no to that spirit and just nodded, "Alright, but I want you to meet someone first. Come with me, I want you to meet my mate and puppies." Saba looked surprised, "Dingo, you have a family now! Congratulations, of course I'll meet them!" Dingo smiled and said, "Alright, but first we need to get Yukon."
The three siblings went to the boiler room where Yukon supposedly lived.

Yukon was walking outside when he ran into Dingo, Kodi, and someone who looked strangely familiar, "Hey guys! How are ya'll?" Yukon looked over at the Saba, "Wait, Saba? Is that you, I haven't seen you in ages, where've you been?" Yukon said hugging his sister. Saba explained to him what was going on and he quickly responded, "I'm going with you guys, no ifs ands or buts about it." Dingo realized he couldn't change his brothers decision to help, "Thanks Yuke, we need all the help we can get anyways, but first we were going to mom's house so I can introduce you guys to the pups and Saba to Ember." Yukon put on a friendly smile, "You guys named 'em? Awesome, let's go get our proper introduction!"
Dingo, Saba, Yukon, and Kodi went off to their mom's house to go meet the pups and where Saba could meet Ember.

"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Jenna and Ember were talking when Dingo and the others arrived, "Oh good, you guys are back." Jenna looked over at Saba and quickly recognized her, "Saba? Hey, how've you been? You look like you were in a fight." Saba just smiled and said, "I'll explain later, but first let me meet Dingo's mate." Saba walked over to Ember and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you, I'm Saba, Dingo's sister. You are?" Ember shook her paw, "I'm Ember, nice to meet you Miss Saba. Has Dingo told you about the pups yet?" Saba nodded and Ember took her over to see the pups, Kodi and Yukon followed, "Let's see, the one who looks like me is named Nikita which means little one, the girl with the white ears and white muzzle is Luna which means moon, the boy with the red muzzle and white ears is Kazu which means peace, and the last one which looks like Yukon is named Zodiac." Saba smiled along with Kodi and Yukon, "What beautiful puppies with such beautiful names. You two will be great parents."
After all of the dogs talked and caught up, they went to sleep for the journey that would start tomorrow.

"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance."
Dingo woke in a strange place, which looked similar to the place in the dream he had last night, only this time Kodi, Yukon, and Saba were all running beside him, he was shocked and asked, "Whoa! What are you guys doing here?" Before they could answer, the floor broke beneath them and they all fell into a black pit while Dingo was still running until the floor beneath him broke and he fell into a similar hole. He woke up, it was still midnight, "Oh, just another dream, seems like Ember was right, every dream does have its meaning."
