Mordecai stands in front of the entrance of the village. "Are you gonna go in?" Dust asks curiously. He hears no response and leans over towards Mordecai "Anyone there...earth to Mordecai" he yells in his ear. Mordecai flinches, "Yeah, yeah I'm alive I'm just..." he pauses then continues "nervous and dazed that's all." "Well let's just run in there and check it out" Dust suggests. Mordecai nods and they went inside the dark glowing village. When they enter the Moonlit Village, Mordecai could see shades of purple and dark blue in the village. The trees had a violet tone to them and the village houses had a mix of brown and blue. Some had purple and blue roses outside their house while others had violets and dandelions. They stop at a large rugged rock and look up at the number of villagers.
There were hundreds, no, thousands of Moonlight wolves. Mordecai could see shades of gray, red, and even black furred ones like him. They were doing all sorts of activities. Some were dancing and shaking their tail others were playing tag or crafting. "Wow they seem so happy" Dust says while observing. "Yeah...should we ask anyone if the palace is open or..." Mordecai asks then drifts off. Dust jumps down from Mordecai's back and pokes one of the nearby Moonlight wolves. The wolf turns its head and looks down at Dust,
"Oh hi there little fella, what's wrong?" They ask him.
Dust looks up at the gray winged wolf, "Um is the palace allowing anyone to enter?" He asks. The wolf smiles and replies "Why yes of course! Why? What do you need?" The wolf asks slightly puzzled. "Well this g-" Dust starts then restates "Well my friend and I really want to see the king and queen" he states, cheerfully. The wolf nods and takes them to the palace.
Mordecai stands in front of the very kingdom he had come from. This...I can't believe it! He thought in excitement I made it finally! "I feel so happy and my paws and body feel tingly" Mordecai says to Dust, excitingly. Dust laughs in agreement "Yeah mine too, let's go see what's inside!" Dust says. They walk into the large ivory and silver palace. Mordecai wanted to check all the rooms out but, he just couldn't get himself to do. I need to meet the rulers that's what is important right now. He runs down the ivory painted halls faster than a jack rabbit, with Dust barely hanging on. He slows down as he cautiously sneaks towards a large white silver coated door. Mordecai presses an ear up to the door, catching the voices behind it. He had a sudden urge to rush in but, didn't. Suddenly, Mordecai hears footsteps coming towards the door and he quickly dashes to the side. The door opens and there stood a light reddish and black female wolf and a large black and red male wolf.
Mordecai scrambles to his paws and quickly hides behind one of the nearby pillars. "W-what's wrong?" Dust whispers to him in surprise. "I-I don't know I'm...scared...that's all" Mordecai whispers back. He had a feeling that if he were to approach the two wolves they would have a fit or kick him out. They did look friendly.
"They may think some random villager coming to greet them" Mordecai replies to Dust still whispering. He stops whispering and observes the two wolves from a distance.
"Marcai, where do you suppose the guards will return?"
The wolf questions him. "The Moonlit Village. Why? Do you think they're in trouble, Moona?" Marcai asks. The light red wolf now known as Moona sighs and walks towards the one of the closed rooms, "No I...just want our child back, that's all. I heard someone saw a wolf similar to you wandering about a few minutes ago..." Wow they really do miss their kid, I hope I can help. Dust twitches then he unleashes the loudest sneeze Mordecai has ever heard. The Moonlight wolf begins to panic and freezes in his spot. Why now, why now?!
Marcai turns his head towards the pillar where the noise had come from and slowly walks towards it. Oh no we are dead meat! Marcai stops for a moment and spots Mordecai's tail. "Moona, do you ever remember there ever being a tailed pillar?" He asks, while staring at the pillar in confusion. Moona looks at Marcai with an amused but startled expression.
Do not move an inch Mordecai warned himself. He could feel the other wolf's presence getting closer and closer. Next thing he knew he was face to face with Marcai. Mordecai startled by Marcai's quick movements, jumps and falls on his back with Dust quickly rolling to the side to avoid being squished. He scrambles to his feet and stares at the wolf. Marcai heartily laughs and smiles at Mordecai. "Hey, what are you kids doing here?" Marcai asks while now noticing Dust by Mordecai's side. "W-we...u-um...w-well..." Mordecai stutters nervously. Marcai looks at him with an amused look, "Wow you have a lot to say. What's your name?" He asks, laughing a bit. Mordecai stares at him for a moment and answers "My name is Mordecai.
Moona walks towards Mordecai and observes him while Marcai just stares at him in shock.
"Are you the pup...I had to risk leaving with someone else for protection?" He asks still in shock. Mordecai hesitates. Am I related to them? "Sala, was the wolf I was with...I'm sure of it. Then I lived on Whale Island." He responds, unsure if his words were convincing and true. The Moonlight King slowly raises his head and Mordecai could see his eyes water up. "It is you" Marcai whispers, pressing his muzzle to his head. "It really is." I am related to them! I'm a prince?! Excitement and confusion bubbles in Mordecai's mind. He didn't know what to think anymore.
Marcai dashes to the side and runs through the palace doors with Mordecai and Moona staring in amazement. As the king rushes through the doors he shouts "My son has returned! The Prince is back!"

Sala rises from her slumber and turns her head towards Wounder who was asleep and recovering from his wounds. She nudges him with her nose and he suddenly wakes up. "What is it?" Wounder asks in a half awake raspy tone. "Are you alright?" Sala asks with concern. Wounder gazes at her then sighs "Yes I'm...just worried that's all." Sala looks at him then at Gray, Omega, Arkoh, and Ti. She knew he was talking about Mordecai and his wellbeing. "Yes I know it was a shock to watch him run off in fear and shock, but I believe he will return" She says looking out the sun filled window.
Suddenly the door flung open and Aladorf runs in. Ti and Arkoh wake up startled and Gray and Omega bolt straight up. Wounder slowly gets up and looks at Sala with worry. Sala gets up and walks towards Aladorf. "What's the problem is everything alright?" She asks worried by his quick movements. Aladorf pants and sits down. He looks everyone and a smile forms on his face. "We just got word from the Moonlight Kingdom; Mordecai is there." Ti wags his tail, happily. Arkoh sighs and smiles with relief. Omega yowls with glee. Gray smiles. Wounder looks up at Sala with hope and Sala blinks with a single tear falling from her face. "He made it and he's home" she nuzzles Wounder "He's alive!"
