Balto The Parallel Timeline
Chapter 12: The Silver Wolf
It was nearing midnight when Sierra finally made it to the edge of town with lantern, it took her a while due to her sprained ankle.
Sierra then placed the lantern down and she walked a few feet away from the lantern and she untied her bandana and a whole bunch pieces of broken bottles fell out.
"The sun...ice caps." Sierra said to herself as she pointed one of the bottles to the north.
Then the whole hillside was then covered by a colorful light, Sierra had done the Northern Lights trick that Togo showed her a few nights ago.
A tear slid down Sierra's cheek as Togo's image popped in her head.
"Togo..."
Meanwhile
Togo grunted as he dug himself out of the snow and he stumbled on the ground.
The first thing Togo did was scan the area for the crate carrying the medicine that had fallen down the cliff with him.
Due to the strong winds from the blizzard and with all the snow being blown in his face Togo couldn't see a sign of the crate anywhere.
Togo felt all of his hope vanish from him, it was all that glory hound Iron's fault Togo could have helped Iron and they could have saved the town together but of course Iron rejected his offer and because of Iron Togo and the team were even more lost and because of Iron all of the kids could die all because of Iron.
And because of Iron...Togo had failed.
Togo then covered his face with his paw and he began to cry.
"Togo..."
Togo's head shot up he swore that he heard something or someone call his name.
"Togo..."
Togo scanned the whole area for any sign of someone but there was no one in sight.
"Togo..."
"Whose there?" Togo asked into the blizzard.
Then the wind blew passed him strongly and when it dyed down, standing in front of Togo was a female silver wolf.
"W-Who are you?" Togo asked the silver wolf.
The wolf didn't reply she then lifted her head and howled.
"Look, whoever you are if you just come all this way to howl well I'm not in the mood, so just leave me alone." Togo said as he moved his head aside.
The wolf then sighed before walking into the blizzard before she vanished into thin air.
When the wolf was gone Togo hopelessly curled up into a tiny ball before and he closed his eyes.
But when he opened them he realized that the wind had died down a small bit and laying a few feet away from him...was the medicine crate!
Togo then looked up and saw that the cliff wasn't even that deep it was only 12 feet and it was climbable.
Togo then remembered me what Noris told him before...
"Let me tell you something Togo, a dog can't make this journey alone...but maybe a wolf can."
Togo felt courage fill up within him all of the doubt and hopelessness was being replaced by courage and hope.
Togo then stood strong and firm he took a deep before he let out a strong echoed wolf howl.
Just then the silver wolf reappeared with large smile on her face she walked up to Togo and she howled with him.
Meanwhile the sled team were all huddled together trying to keep warm and they were trying to figure out what to do when they heard a wolf howl echo through the wilderness around them.
"Oh great just when things can't be bad enough now we got wolves!" Hank groaned.
"WOLVES?!" Everyone cried together.
All of the dogs began to panic until...
"Guys look over here!" Bravo said.
All of the dogs ran to the cliff side and looked down.
"It's Togo!" Ash cried.
"And he's got the medicine!" A dog added.
Togo grunted as he pulled the medicine crate he was only 5 feet away from the top of the cliff.
As Togo climbed he heard the dogs talking positive things about him which boosted his courage even more.
He was now only 4 feet away from the top...3...2...1
Everything went silent as Togo was helped up by Bravo and Ash while Hank two other sled dogs put the medicine crate on the sled and they strapped it on tightly.
"You did it Togo!" Ash said.
"Well not yet we still have a job to do." Togo said.
Ash then grabbed the lead dog tether.
"Lead us home...Togo." Ash said.
A few minutes later Togo and the team were back on the trail but eventually ended up to the place that Iron sabotage.
"Which way Togo?" Bravo asked Togo.
Togo then sniffed the air.
"This way!" Togo said.
Then Togo and the took off to the left down the trail that led them home.
A/N: What an epic chapter guys! Did Iron really think he can stop our favorite Togo from delivering the medicine to Anchorage, HECK NO! Anyway I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in "Chapter 13: The Journey Home".
