Shaking Ground

The Wise One

It has been a long 3 days but the threesome has found plenty of water and has had great hunting. It has been pretty smooth sailing up too here. "Can we take a break" Alex asked. "Yea, you are walking vary fast Alpha" Pride said.
"Ok, we can take a break" Hope said with annoyance. "You guys stay here, I am going to look for any threat" Hope said. "OK" Alex and Pride said at the same time and then looked at each other.

"Hun, that's weird" Hope said to herself. She took another big sniff. "Wait.. I know that sent" Hope said and backed away. "That's" Hope paused. "That's, A BEAR" Hope had started to run back to Alex and Pride. When she got back, Alex and Pride had already found the Bear. It was worst than she thought, it was a mama bear and cubs. Mama bears can be vary protective. Pride had the mama bear held off when he saw her. He then turned the mama bear away from her. He wants me to hit it from behind! Hope started to sneak throwing the bushed towards the bear. Then, she built up all her strength and lunched herself at the big bear and landed a deep bite. It then got both of its Cubs and ran to the trees. "So much for a look out" Pride then looked over at Hope. "Hey, I found the scent and ran right back to you guys and...now we are her" Hope responded. "Yea, give her a break Pride she was just doing her job" Alex stepped up to Pride with confidence. "Fine. Don't get your tail in a knot" Pride said and rolled his eyes. "Ok we should continue up the mountain" Hoe said and before the other two could respond, she turned and started up to The Wise One.

"Finally we made it" Hope was so excited. "Calm down Alpha, your going to hurt yourself" Alex was so tired from
the steep mountain. "Hello young Alpha" a deep voice said out of the shadows. "OMG" Alex said. " Who is there" Pride stepped forward. "Calm down" the voice said. Then, a young, strong wolf came into view. "Oh, hi" Hope said. "We are here to see The Wise One" she continued. "Speaking" the young wolf said. "Wait aren't you like 300 years old" Alex asked. "Yes but I have the Howl of the Elders and if has helped me not to age" The Wise One said. "Ok... We have come to learn about the howl"Hope said. "Ah yes, I have been expecting you" the Wise wolf said. "Yea we want our howl to be as powerful as yours" Alex jumped up.  "Slow down young wolf" The Wise One said. "Is it possible that I could join in on this training" Pride asked. "Well do you have the howl" the wise old wolf said. "I dont know" Pride responded. "Well, let me see" The Wise One Responded. "Before you test Pride can we call you something a little shorter than The Wise One" Hope asked. "Oh yea, call me Emil" he said. "Why Emil" Alex asked. "I dont know it just sounds cool" Emil said. "Ok can we see if I have the howl" Pride barged in. "Oh sorry I forgot" Emil said. Then, Emil
closed his eyes and sniffed Pride and his opened. "That was the easiest reading ever" Emil said. "What did you find out" Pride was like a little pup on his birth-moon. " You do have the The Howl of the Elders" Emil stated. He continued "follow me our training must begin" Emil then turned around and walked deeper in the cave.
