Hi there. I know I haven't updated in a long time. It's just that I've been busy playing Kingdom Hearts 2 (THAT GAME JUST ROCKS! IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT!) Anyways, I've beated the game and now I'm back to my story. Enjoy.
Sora, Balto, Kavik, Boris, Muk, and Luk followed Alue, Vike, and their pups to the meeting spot. The wolves of the clan were there, waiting. It was a little cliff where the wolves would be at the bottom, and the leader, Alue, would be at the top. Alue made her way to the top of the cliff. Sora and the others waited at the bottom. All of the wolves were staring at them. Sora could hear a few of the wolves growling at him. Balto and Kavik gave dirty looks to those who did. Alue cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.
"As you all can see, a human has come to our territory." She said in a confident voice. "You're all probably wondering why I brought him here. It is because my father, my uncle, and my friends say that this human can understand and speak our wolf language. I didn't quite believe it, until I heard him myself.-"
"Rubbish!" a few wolves shouted.
"A human can never speak our language!"
"There is no way!"
"Wanna bet!" Sora shouted.
The wolves gasped. They all looked at Sora like he was a monster.
"Yes, it's true!" Sora continued. "I can speak your language. But that's not the point!"
It was Balto's turn to talk.
"Something very dangerous is about to happen!" He said. "And we need Sora's help to stop it!"
All of the wolves looked at eachother, whispering things. Then one wolf looked at them.
"How do you know something dangerous is going to happen? We've been at peace since we got to this new land.
"If you all like to know how I knew," Sora said. "It was Nava that told me, and he wanted me to help you guys."
All of the wolves gasped, even Alue.
"What he saying is the truth!" Kavik said. "Balto and I escorted Sora to Nava, ourselves. He told us something evil is happening asked Sora to stop it."
"And Aniu, the white wolf, escorted us here." Balto said.
All of wolves started whispering to eachother again. Most of them were frighten, others were still not convinced.
"What evil is it that you're talking about?" Vike asked.
Alue jumps down from the cliff and walks to Balto.
"I think it's a perfect time to tell us what's going on, papa." She said.
"Yeah…I think so too." Balto said.
Sora, Balto, and Kavik started explaining. It took them quite a while for them to do it.
"…and so the Subordinates are searching for the ice crystals to open Kingdom Wolves." Sora said. "But each of the ice crystals is hold by the leader of a wolf pack. We already got three of the ice crystals. So there's only one more."
"That is why we're here, Alue." Balto said. "We need to get the ice crystal from you, before one of Cecelia's subordinates get here."
Alue gave her father sort of a sad look.
"Papa…I don't have the ice crystal or know how to get it." She said. "Nava has never told me about it."
Sora thought for a moment.
"Say Balto," He said. "Remember that wolf leader that gave me the ice crystal that was shaped like a bear?"
"Yeah why?" Balto asked.
"Didn't he howl first before the ice crystal appeared?" Sora asked.
Balto thought for a moment. Then it came to him.
"That's right, he did."
Sora smiled, knowing what must be done.
"So, all Alue has to do is just howl and ice crystal should appear." He said.
"Yeah, that's it." Balto said.
He then turned to his daughter.
"Alue, do what you enjoy doing." Balto said.
Alue nodded. She then started howling. Sora, Balto, Kavik, Boris, Muk, and Luk looked around their surroundings. Strangely, the ice crystal didn't appear. Alue stopped.
"Did it work?" She asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"I don't get it." Sora said. "That's how that wolf leader did it."
Balto thought for a moment. Then he said: "Alue, try howling again, but this time, try to concentrate on getting the ice crystal."
"But how?" Alue asked. "I don't know what the ice crystal looks like."
Sora brought out one of the ice crystals from his pocket.
"This is what it looks like." He said, showing it to Alue. "But the last one is suppose to be a caribou."
"Okay, I'll try again." Alue said.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and started howling. Everyone looked around again. But still, no ice crystal appeared. Alue stopped howling.
"Why isn't it working?" She asked. "I put a lot of effort into that last one."
"I don't know why either." Balto said.
"Do you guys think…that Nava might've made a mistake?" Sora asked. "What if Alue doesn't ice crystal at all?"
"I don't think that's possible, Sora." Balto said. "If Nava says Alue has the ice crystal, I believe she does."
"Maybe Alue needs to do something different." Boris suggested. "Maybe the wolves do things differently to get the ice crystal."
"Then why didn't Nava tell us?" Sora asked.
"I'm sorry, guys." Alue said.
"You don't need to apologize, Alue." Balto said.
"Yeah, it's not your fault." Sora said.
"We just don't know what we're doing wrong, that's all." Boris said.
Alue smiled at them. Balto had missed that smile.
"Well, what should we do now?" Sora asked.
"I guess we better leave." Balto said.
"No papa." Alue said. "Why won't you all stay here?"
Balto looked at her.
"I'm sorry, Alue." He said. "But we need to figure out how to get the last ice crystal."
"But you all just got here." Alue said. "I don't want you to leave so soon."
"But Alue, I don't think your pack would want me here." Sora said.
"Don't worry, Sora." Alue said. "I'll make sure nobody bothers you."
Balto thought for a moment.
"Please papa." Alue said. "I haven't seen you in a long time. And I want you to know the pups."
It was the mention of the pups that made Balto says: "Okay."
Alue nuzzled his neck.
"I'll get everything ready." She said and took off.
Balto looked at everyone.
"You guys really don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all." They all said.
"Besides, at least we'll be here if a subordinate shows up." Sora said.
"What do you mean?" Balto asked.
"Well, since we can't get the ice crystal from Alue." Sora said. "I'm pretty sure the subordinate would get really mad because he can't either. He'll then destroy the pack and leave like it was nothing."
"So you're saying if the subordinate comes here…" Balto said.
"We'll put a stop to it, before he hurts anyone." Sora said.
"That's a great idea, Sora." Kavik said.
"Yeah mate." Luk said.
Muk nodded.
"Yep, couldn't think of a better plan." Boris said.
Alue came back.
"I told everyone." She said. "Follow me to the den."
They all followed Alue.
"Papa, there's something I haven't told you yet." She said.
"What's that?" Balto asked.
"It's good to see you again."
End of chapter. In the next chapter, everyone plays with the pups and Sora finally finds Kairi's good luck charm. Please review.
