*Kallik's POV*

She and everyone else walked away from the cave with the carvings of all of them and went towards the Star Island bears. She felt her paws not wanting to move away though, and she knew why. They didn't want to leave this place, where they had just lost their best friend, and she also didn't want to leave her adoptive son behind.

You see, Kallik, Lusa, Toklo, and Ujurak have just saved the wild, but unfortunately the end of that ended with one of them losing their life. The bear who had sacrificed their live and died was Ujurak. A flying firebeast had tried to shoot Ujurak, but Lusa saved him from that, taking the hit instead. That isn't it though. When the flying firebeast had flown away, it was going over a mountain, which picked up wind and caused an avalanche to start. Ujurak turned into a musk ox and moved a boulder to above Kallik, Lusa, and Toklo to protect them from the avalanche, but in the end, he didn't make it before it hit them. He sadly passed away after, which left the other bears heartbroken.

Kallik looked behind where they had buried Ujurak. They had dug up some snow around him and used that to bury him before leaving him. She didn't want to leave him, even though he can't come with them anymore because he's gone. It broke her heart having to do that, but she knew that she had to unfortunately. She just wished things turned out differently.

Kallik had only known Ujurak for a few sun lengths, not as long as Toklo or Lusa has known him. She had only met him at Great Bear Lake when she came across him, Toklo, and Lusa, and he even helped her safe Lusa's friend Miki from her brother Taqqiq and his mean friends. He even turned into a polar bear to help her save Miki, which was more helpful than they both thought. Thinking about that time made her really tear up, and she shook her head to try to avoid crying in front of the others. She just kept going, trying not to look back at the spot.

*Lusa's POV*

She saw Kallik shake her head, which she could tell that it was because she was trying to avoid crying, and she teared up. She felt the same way that Kallik did, but she honestly felt a little more heartbroken than she did. She had known Ujurak longer than she did, so they had more memories together, which hurt her to think about now.

When she pushed Ujurak away from the bullet that was about to hit him, she thought that she had protected him well, but then the avalanche happened. You can never control when Ujurak changes into a different animal, but even if you had tried to tell him not to, he would have ignore you. A lot of the time when he changes into a different animal, it's because he wants to either protect them from something or wants to learn something about an animal. At that time, he did it to protect them from the avalanche. At the end though he did lose his life because of it, which really hurt Lusa and everyone else.

She had known Ujurak since she almost killed him by nearly pinning him down before meeting Toklo, who she was looking for for a while before she came across him. He had turned into a hare, and Lusa thought he was an actual hare, and hunted him down. She had been starving and seeing him as a hare was making her really want to eat. Toklo had stopped her though, and she saw Ujurak turn back to his grizzly bear form. After that point she started traveling with them, and ever since then, they were really good friends. Like Kallik though, she just kept going, trying not to look back at the spot.

*Toklo's POV*

He saw the other two tear up, and saw Kallik shake her head to stop from crying and he teared up. He had always tried to not show when he was mad, sad, or anything like that, but with what happened today, no one would blame him for being sad. He had just lost his best friend. He had known Ujurak the longest out of everyone in the group.

When he saw Lusa push Ujurak away when the flying firebeast was shooting towards him, he was grateful, but also was scared for Lusa since she took the hit instead. But then the avalanche happened, so they had something completely different going on. He had seen Ujurak change into a musk ox, which he knew that Ujurak would have done that even at Toklo's protest because he wanted to protect everyone. He thought that Ujurak had made it inside the boulder with them when the avalanche officially hit them, but he realized that he wasn't there shortly after they were hit. That had worried him immensely, and now he's gone.

He was the one to rescue him when he was being chased by flatfaces and helped him heal when he had gotten hurt because of them. He had been there for him all the times he had gotten hurt and helped him heal. He helped him heal everyone else as well when they got hurt. First thing that came to mind was when Lusa got hit by the firebeast on Smoke Mountain and she had a huge gash on one of her back legs. Even when Ujurak shape-shifted without reason and Toklo was annoyed about it, he still worried about him while he was gone and wished for him to come back. He wished he could do that now, but of course he can't. Like Kallik and Lusa though, he just kept going, trying not to look back at the spot.

*with the others*

Yakone was chilling with his family when he saw Kallik, Lusa, and Toklo coming towards them. He noticed that Ujurak wasn't with them and he got worried. Is Ujurak just behind all of them and that's why he can't see him? Little did he know that it was much worse than that though.

He ran to Kallik. "Hey guys! Did you save the wild?"

They all nodded, but they all looked really sad as they did, which worried him.

Toklo was the first to speak up. "We did save the wild at last. We did everything needed to do that, and it's now done."

Yakone nods. He gulped before asking the next question. "Where's Ujurak?"

He could see them all tear up at the question, and he was just wanted to comfort them all, especially Kallik. He had developed a crush on her while they were all here, and it has only grown stronger and stronger.

Lusa spoke up first. "Ujurak unfortunately passed away a little bit ago. There was an avalanche because of a flying firebeast, and he changed to a musk ox to move a boulder to protect us, and he didn't make it before the avalanche hit us." Her voice cracked at the end, looking down.

Yakone felt so bad immediately hearing that. "I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how you guys are feeling right now."

Kallik nods. "We are all really upset, but we will get over it." She sighed. "Well, we were talking about going about our way. We hate to leave Ujurak here, but of course we can't take him with us because of him being gone."

Yakone nods. He thought of something. "How about I go with you guys? I'm no Ujurak, but I can help keep you guys company so there's not much of a hole."

Kallik looked at Toklo for approval, which he nods at her. She turned back to Yakone. "That would be amazing Yakone. Well, I think we're going to go now. You ready?"

He nods, and he quickly said goodbye to everyone of his family. When he was done, he stood by Kallik, and with her, Lusa, and Toklo, they walked away from Star Island. He looked back at his home one last time before he fully focused on the road ahead with the others. He was ready to adventure with them, even though they were on a grieving journey now.
