The Nights Gift

Befriended

The next morning Nightstar woke up to the smell of a fresh kill. When he exited he saw a whole deer in his path not even a fly was on it.

"Eat," he heard from behind him he spun to see the wolf from yesterday. He crouched to the ground in fear. "I said eat you'll need your strength." Nightstar scared to argue got up and blessed the meat. He dug into the meat enjoying the taste of a fresh meal. When he looked up he saw two foxes looking hungrily at the deer. He looked at the wolf tilting his ears in the direction of the kits. "Fine, you two eat," the kits looked at the bigger wolf then the lighter of the two rushed out and dived in to the meat much to the darkers dismay. Then the darker one came slowly joined the wolf in eating.

"Thank you I haven't had food in days. By the way my names Dawn and this is my older brother Dusk." The light orange fox said nodding to the light black fox.

"It's okay no one should have to starve." Nightstar said smiling at the two. The wolf jumped down startling the younglings.

"Enough now let us go we have much to do." He started to walk away as Nightstar, Dawn, and Dusk followed.

"Um what is your name?" Nightstar asked as the wandered towards a cave much like the cave of spirits.

"My name was forgotten to the wind." He said sadden as they entered the cave. Nightstar started to feel pain as they passed the entrance of the cave. The pain only got worse as they neared the center. He started to whimper and lag behind everyone else.

"Um sir I think something is wrong with Nightstar." Dawn said looking at Nightstars form.

"Nightstar keep up!" The wolf said moving on. The pup kept following till they reached the center. When he entered he screamed at the top of his lungs the pain now unbearable he passed out.
