The land of ice

The crazed love one

    "Why did this have to happen to her?"sobbed Lynx "My girl, my little she-wolf." The Lynx howled, it was a sound of sorrow and despair. Other wolves started howling too, it felt like a hundred claws digging into my heart. The slow sad sound tumbling into the woods echoing off the mountains. When they were done howling Lynx curled up around Crystal singing.
    "One day you will be strong enough to go to the stars
    And there you will find the answers to your dreams
    So sleep tight good night
    And let your dreams be all ways in your heart."
    Arctic, Lynx's mate was sitting beside her saying reassuring thing to her. Then a small beautiful silver birch tree sprouted from Crystal's body But her spirit not yet in the tree walked gracefully to Alba saying "Thank you for freeing me of my curse, I will shelter and protect you for the rest of your life as long as you stay to the pack." Then she leaned in and whispered something to him. Then she jumped up to the tree's branches and faded into the bark.
    "What a poor tortured spirit." I said.
    "Iceberg, she may have been a tortured spirit. But she still become a tree. A beautiful birch tree." said Arctic who was as proud as a father can be.
    "Yes she shall join the forest!" Said Lynx "I was so sure the she would become a crow."
    "She would never be a crow because the things she did was not her own actions. It was fangs" Hailstorm said "This has happened before, but not in generations. Something is awakening him, Fang the destroyer." At that note everyone had fear blazing in their eyes "Alba make and reinforce the defenses and make tunnels that we can hide in now." ordered the alpha "Icicle and I are going to the pool of tears to reconnect with our ancestors tomorrow morning. Understand?
    "You heard him Changbai, Winter, Frostbite reinforce the entrance, frostbite you're in charge. Tundra, Iceberg, Lynx, Arctic make a wall around the den Iceberg you're in charge of them. Glacer you are in charge of this group Snowbank, Snowball, and Avalanche make a roof out of bramble and branches Fang has wings. Ermine, Icebreaker, Perma gather healing plants. The rest of you start building tunnels now!" ordered Alba.
    Tundra was walking to me and said "Hey Iceberg looks like we are working together."
    "That what it looks like"I cheerfully replied. I swear by the trees that I never know what to say around her, I thought. Looking at the moon I said to the wall builders around me "It is almost midnight so get a good night sleep, we will work at dawn."
    I went into the warrior den in the fallen log with Tundra sleep on the patch of moss beside me.
   When I woke up the first rays of light are filtering through the low roof that was being built. "The builders of the wall wake up it's time to work!" I said trying to make them excited.
    "What are you so happy about?"growled Arctic "I swear by all of the trees we are making a wall, a thick strong wall. It will take all day."
    "Then try to make it fun."I growled back. We started interweaving sticks, and branches making it a wolf and a half tall, using large rocks to support it, and sticking thorns on the outside. But the whole time Alba was watching over us commenting on are work "Tundra there is to little thorns here" or "It looks to much like a wall making look like a thick bushy area" or "build faster the roof makers need it to support the roof". We were one third of the way done by noon.
    We gathers around Crystals birch ripping apart little prey that we can find in the short amount of time we had to hunt and Tundra said "You know we can be done in three to four days if we keep this up."
    "I hope so!" Lynx said. The wolves the that was building the entryway was walking up to us with some prey in their mouths and Changbai said "You know Alba can be a real crow eater sometimes."
    "More like all the time!" Lynx giggled.
    Frowning at them Frostbite said "What do you mean."
    Winter joining in the conversation said "He is always like "This stick is in the wrong place I order you to move it!" or something like that." Then to prove our point Alba started yelling at the pups that were digging the hole, that the entrance was to wide.
    "You see" Changbai chirped his tail wagging and whacking Winter in the face.
    "He may be a little demanding sometimes" Frostbite was saying but then Tundra interrupted "A little demanding sometimes. More like a lot demanding all the time."
     "Like I was saying" Frostbite growled glaring at Tundra "but he is a good protector, we all have to agree on that." All of the Wolves gathered around nodded in agreement.
     "So are you done with the entrance?"I asked.
     "Yes we are" said Winter "but then the but then the beta wolf, Alba we have to help you with the wall tomorrow." We were trying to keep the conversation light hearted but you can tell that we were keeping a vigilant eye on the sky for Fang, so are conversation came to the question when is Fang coming to kill us all.
