      Mordecai and Kai arrive at the shore and find themselves standing under a large rainbow with three miniature ones around it. "Wow, it's so beautiful and majestic" Mordecai gasps, with his dark amber eyes, widening with amazement. "Yeah, I know right? I think this is the brightest one I've ever seen" Kai agrees, with the same spark of amazement in her eyes. The two jump at the sound of a familiar voice, 

      "Hey, love birds! Over here!" Dash shouts behind them.

      Mordecai turns around and frowns at the brown and white furred wolf, "Seriously?! I'm not coming to your wedding or your funeral!" Mordecai huffs, with annoyance. Dash's ears flattened and he sniffs, "Aw, come on I was just kidding..." he whimpers.
      Zip and Zoom dash past them and Zoom skids to a halt. The white and yellow wolf looks up at the sky and ponders. Zip runs back to his brother and stares in shock. "Yo, bro what's up?" He asks, tilting his head a bit. Zoom lifts his paw and gazes at the sky, "What is that? Something the Guardians created?" He asks in wonder to the large rainbow and three miniature ones around it. "Those are The Rainbows of Hope and they are said to bring hope and joy to the world of Anzellix" Kai answers. Zip stares up in awe and says nothing else, while Zoom jumps up happily. 
      The ground suddenly begins to shake beneath them, making Zip and Zoom panic. "WE'RE GOING TO DIE!" they all scream, looking at Mordecai. "Guys, calm down. It was probably a monster that's invisible and it tripped or something...no worries." "B-but, what if you can't and what if we can't make in enough time" Kai panics. "Don't worry, we'll make it" Mordecai says, comforting the blue wolf. 
Dash let out a sigh. "This rando place we're in is known for earthquakes."
      Mordecai rolls his eyes "Well know we know...why are you now telling us this?" He asks in annoyance. Dash awkwardly coughs "I forgot okay! At least I knew about it beforehand. Just didn't say anything." He replied quietly. 
Mordecai shakes his head and leads the others to uninhabited cave. Luckily it was empty with no sight of a bear. Only a few carcasses and bones were scattered about.
      "Mordecai?" Kai asks "Was there by any chance a wolf named, Sala, who had kept you at one point?" Mordecai stares at her for a bit and replies, "Yeah...I believe so, why?" "She's my mother. She had told me about you when I was younger. This was years after my birth and I wonder who this Mordecai pup was that she mentioned. Now, I know" Kai replies, smiling a bit.
      Mordecai stares at the blue female wolf in shock and embarrassment. He turns his head, looking at the ground beneath his feet "Oh...and then I was handed to these three fluff head's parents after that?" He asks, looking back at the trio of wolf brothers, with a smile. Kai nods, "Yep pretty much. Were you came from is somewhere else."
      The hybrid looks at his wings and sighs. Wherever I came from, must be a weird place for what I am.

      "Wow, that's a surprise memory to throw at him" Ti states, watching the rest of the conversation. Arkoh looks at Ti and nods in agreement, "I know, at least there's something he found out about." He shifts his gaze from Ti then back to the floating Vision Gem. "He took it so...calmly and he like...understood" Ti adds. 
"Well of course. It's not like its a story of death or anything. It was just information on how he was separated from his real home." The wolf mentor says, looking at his apprentice. They sit there in silence and continue to listen and watch.
      All were asleep except for Mordecai. "I-I worry for him" Ti says, looking at Arkoh. "Yes I feel the same. He is worried more than all of us. It will take time for him to process everything. However, they must not waste any time." Arkoh replies, staring at the Vision Gem, intensely.

      Mordecai sits there looking at the moon, its silvery light shone on his black fur. He sighed and looked down at his paws, "I hope...I can save everyone or whatever I have to do. If not then at least I'll die trying or I'll hide and grow old like Elder Keen and hopefully she'll better" he whispered to himself with a laugh. Mordecai was suddenly startled by a voice that almost sounded like a whale. It was actually Zip who seemed to be yawning. Mordecai turns around to see Zip looking at him with his tired half opened eyes. "M-Mordecai w-what are you murmuring about now" Zip asks, yawning slowly. Mordecai loved him like he was his own little brother from the day he was first born and ever since then, Zip always looked up to him.
      He jumps down from the small hill and nuzzles Zip.

      "Buddy, go back to sleep. Don't worry about me, okay."

      "O-oh okay see you tomorrow" Zip yawns then curls up, going back to sleep.

      Mordecai smiles down at the sleeping pup. He then heads back up to the hill to gaze up at the black sky and the pale glowing moon. Too much was given to me today. My head hurts. 
      A rather small shadowy creature looks from a distance, watching Mordecai. "So, he is real. Hmmm...to the leaders! He is the one we seek in this world of never ending first world problems!" The creature whispers quietly in triumph. Then it left in the night without waiting for Mordecai to even take notice. 
      The shadow bolts through the grass towards a large ancient cave. It puts its paw on the large doors while saying something. Then the doors opened. The shadow runs through the cave and enters a city, with huge buildings made of stone. It stops at a HQ building. 

      "Entering the building now" they say into the horn hanging on the door.

      The horn is somehow attached to a wire, leading up to a room. The door opens and they enter a room with four wolves. A light blue wolf approaches first,

      "You're back already, did you find him?" They ask.

      The creature nods. Then a second wolf walks to the light blue wolf's side, standing there,

      "Did he notice you?" the second wolf asks.

     The shadow replies with "No." The wolf sighs in relief.

      "Good...he will find us soon."

      The two other wolves remain silent and the light blue wolf looks at the creature,

      "Thank you, Dust, you may go now."

      "Welcome...um, my pleasure" Dust replies, bowing.
