The Nights Gift

Raised

The fox mom named bandit and the wolf pup continued to live in the den for four months. The pup ate berries and grass when meat was scarce, and his mother bandit taught him how to clime a tree. Soon winter returned and bandit led them to a cave.
"We will stay here till winter ends ok," she asked.
"Yes ma'am" he nods and curls into a ball around bandit "good night" he falls asleep.
"Good night my nightstar" she looks at the stars above and sees a storm coming. May we survive this storm spirits she then fell asleep as the first snow flacks started to fall. Soon a full on snow storm starts and the pair is blocked in the cave. When nightstar woke up he saw that the way out was blocked by snow. He nudged bandit awake
"the way out is blocked I'm going to go look for another way out,"
"Ok," she said laying her head down and going  back to sleep. He started to walk further into the cave sniffing the air for any signs of air pockets. Then he heard a voice. Nightstar followed the voice and found a chamber filled with pictures and voices. He covered his ears and whimpers due to all the noise. Then the voices silenced once he whimpered, but then they started to whisper.
"Who is this," one voice said
"where did he come from," another said.
"Nightstar that's my name, and I came here due to the snow storm." He answered the voices questions. When he looked up he saw 8 different wolf figures on the wall above them the symbols of the spirits. The voices were silence for a bit then one of the voices spoke.
"Pup where are you from," to this he replied
"I don't know I was abandoned by the river then rescued by my fox mom bandit." The voices whispered again then a new voice spoke to nightstar.
"Why don't you live here in the spirit cave with your wolf brothers?"
"But what about bandit?" He asked concerned for his fox mother who saved him.
"She will be led back to her own kind and well cared for due to saving a small pup who wasn't her own." The voice replied kindly to this nightstar yipped happily ok with the deal. Soon bandit woke up to a happy looking wolf pup "what is it my little star," she asked yawning as she stretched.
"I will stay here with other wolfs," he replied. She looked at him in shock how long was I asleep. He looked back in concern "is that wrong?"
"No it's ok I just wanted to make sure you are sure," she looked at him with a softened expression as nightstar nodded his head. "Good may the spirits be watching over you," then 8 wolves appear behind him looking at bandit with glowing eyes and pelts that matched the spirits. Maybe more close then I would have thought she smiled and then left as the snow was already melted. "Bye my little star," she said as she faded into the distance
