The New Light of Hope: Books I to VI.

Chapter XII: The Truth.

Commander Aurora:

We went back to the Division later on that same day, got treatment for our wounds, fed the Division, told Chief ArrowHeart and MoonStone about the situation and the incident as a whole, and we later helped out for a little bit more until we called it a day later on when the evening came around so that way we could regain the energy that we had burned that day during the hunt, where, in the morning, we would learn a bit more about the situation and gain information that was worth knowing before it was too late.

Date: August 11, 2020.

"Commander Aurora." I was woken up by the sound of CreamFur's voice and shot awake to see her standing over me. I rubbed my eyes while asking her: "What's up, DawnHeart?"

DawnHeart: "Sorry to bother you, Commander, but AshClaw wants to speak hold a meeting here and she wants all Protectirs present at this time. I have already sent one messenger to head to each Division in the Forest to gather the rest of our friends and my siblings. She said that what she has to share with all of us and that it'd be best to do it now before it's too late."

Commander Aurora: "All right, all right, I'm gettin' up."

And so I got up and I went from there, ready to here what AshClaw had to tell us.

Later, the messengers came back and so did, Amethyst, Sadie, Jemma, Abigail, Bellatrix, Milly, Summer, CrystalHeart, DuskFire, AntlerClaw, StoneFoot, StormShadow, and BirchTail came to the Division. "I sure hope this is good." Summer said.

"Well, whatever it is AshClaw wants to share something important with all of us before it's too late." I told her. "And it's important that we listen to what she has to tell us because it might pertain to what's going on in the Forest right now."

Summer: "Well, there's no turning back by this point so we might as well get this whole thing done Andover with as quickly as we possibly can."

Amethyst: "That's the spirit, Summer!"

Commander Aurora: "Now that's what I like to hear."

Once everyone came together, MoonStone went to the Leader's rock and announced: "Animals, young and old, gather around for a meeting!" We all came together as Chief ArrowHeart took his place on the rock as well as MoonStone and waited for everyone to get situated and once they did, Chief ArrowHeart began: "My fellow Division animals, one of our fighters named AshClaw who came to us along with VenomSlash carrying Blizzard and Snow last snowfall has something important to share with all of us and I agree that she should share it now because otherwise if she were to share it at the last minute, then it would already be too late to warn us now. AshClaw, come forward and tell everyone what you have to say."

AshClaw: "Thank you, Chief ArrowHeart."

AshClaw made her way up to the front and went onto Leader's rock where Chief ArrowHeart was, looked at the crowd for a moment and began: "Now as Chief ArrowHeart said, I do have something important to share with all of you and its be best if I did it right now than wait until something horribly goes wrong and it would already be too late to warn everyone about the situation from there; some of you may not know this, but a rogue wolf by the name of Chief CrookedSoul, is the leader of a rogue group by the name of the Vengeful Strays, who just so happen to be the ones responsible for all of the murders of females and males. And there is something all of you need to know right now…"
