Chapter 13: "The new pack"
Balto woke up next morning and walked outside to drink some water. At the same moment Beta arrived at the den-site reporting about the new pack members. "Balto, we found some wolves who were eager to join our pack! They will be here soon!" Beta said to Balto. Balto looked at him and said: "Well we will be welcoming them then! Thank you my friend!" Beta bowed before Balto and ran off into the forest. Balto walked back inside the cave where Jenna was still sleeping peacefully. "I hate it when I need to wake her up." Balto said with pain in his heart. "Jenna" Balto slightly nudged her. Jenna woke up stretching her muscles. "Balto why are we up so early?" Jenna asked still sleepy. "There are some other wolves joining our pack! And they will arrive soon! So we need to make everything ready!" Balto replied. "So you're building your own pack? I left you in good hands I see!" Devil said to them. Balto and Jenna turned around immediately. "Hey dad how you've bin?" Balto asked. "I'm doing well! But there is something I need to discuss with you!" Devil said with a serious tone. Balto looked at him and nodded. "Jenna could you make everything ready for when the others arrive?" Balto asked Jenna while nuzzling her. Jenna looked at him and said: "Sure but don't stay too long! This was your idea so you better be helping me later!" Jenna replied with a teasing voice while returning the nuzzle. Balto and Devil walked out of the cave. "We have a problem son!" Devil said. "Bela is training an army to go after you!" Devil continued. Balto looked at him and asked: "What can I do?" "The wolves that are joining your pack, how many males are there coming?" Devil replied. "About 10 males, why?" "Well I didn't tell you this yet but you can gift other with your powers as well!" Balto looked at devil in shock. "How?" Balto asked. "It is not much you need to do the same before you transform but instead of thinking about an animal you think about the person you want to gift and touch them." Devil explained. "So you want me to gift all of the males that come to join us and train my own army as well?" Balto asked. "Yes in that way you will be able to stop Bela and his army!" "All right I will do it." Balto replied. At that moment Jenna walked out of the cave. She seemed a little aggitated. "Balto are you coming yet?" Jenna said with a aggitated tone. "Coming Jen!" "Balto remember what we just discussed. Gift the males and train them or you will all be dead by the hands of Bela and his army." Balto looked at Devil and nodded. Devil disappeared in thin air no sign of him remained. Balto entered the cave and started to help Jenna clean up. The were just done when two unkown wolves entered the cave. "Is this where we are supposed to be gathering?" The male wolf asked. "Yes I am Balto and this is Jenna." "Hi I'm Connor and this is Kaylee" Connor went outside and said: "It's here you guys!" At that moment about 18 wolves walked inside the cave. After everyone introduced themselves to each other Balto asked everyone: "Have you guys heard about the wolf that transformed into other animals?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well that wolf is me." Everyone was shocked. Balto became very serious: "But know I need to ask a question. Are you Connor, Naham, Seth, Ahi, Fire, Aiden, Elijah, Owen, Eli and Levi prepared to have the same powers as me? To defend ourselves from the army that Bela a wolf without a heart has trained?" To this all the males answered: "Aye! We are!" Balto looked at them and said come with me outside. They all walked outside and Balto gifted them all one by one with his powers. He said: "Now the tough part starts! We are going to train like hell!"
They walked back inside and every female examined her friend closely to see if anything had changed. But to their surprised nothing had changed from the outside but inside of them now ran the same power that Balto had.
"Jenna maybe you could train the females the same way you have been trained?" Balto asked. Jenna looked at him and said: "Of course I will. But Balto, is this what you discussed this morning with Devil? Isn't it to dangerous for them?" Balto looked at her and nuzzled her and said: "Jenna it was dangerous until now. But we have a pack now! And soon we have our own territory. With this we are going to be fine!"
Jenna returned the nuzzle and smiled. "All right! Let's go and train!" Balto said.
Balto walked outside and walked to a clearing nearby. He had reconstructed the training fields like Caleb had originally made. "We have four training-fields! The first one is made for strength. The second is made for speed. The third is made for physical transformations. And the fourth is made for mastering the first three." Balto explained. "All right! Let's begin immediately! Jenna let the females sit outside of the ring." Balto ordered. Jenna did as Balto said and Balto began the training. "Okay you guys first think about a powerful animal!" All of them thought about the same animal Balto thought about: An elephant! Balto looked at them and said: "Well done! Now push one of the boulders of your liking!" Jenna looked at the females and said: "Look closely now! This is going to be mind blowing!" All of them watched closely and saw all them pushing the boulders leaving a trail. They were amazed! They've never had seen anything like it before! "Nicely done everyone! That is enough for today! Tomorrow we are going to work on your speed!" Balto said. They all walked back to the cave and ate the caribou Balto had got in a flash. When they were done the all went to sleep. Balto laid down against Jenna. Jenna curled up in Balto's fur and nuzzled him. "Goodnight Balto" "Goodnight Jen"
