Aphron pushed through the hallway toward the room that Zoryum was in. Nervousness made his paws tingle and he forced himself forward. His breath was caught in his throat and he scented milk.

He heard a Asgardian rush forward out of Zoryum's den. Aphron's eyes flickered as he pushed forward, his ears pricked. "Zoryum," Aphron murmured as he pushed forward and peered into the room.

"Aphron, is that you," Zoryum asked as she lifted her head.

Aphron nodded and strode forward. Zoryum was laying in a nest with a small dark gray pup laying at her underbelly. The pup whimpered and he kneaded his paws against Zoryum's underbelly, begging for milk. Aphron then realized that Zoryum wasn't producing milk anymore.

"How are you," he inquired as he tried to be pleasant. He lowered beside his friend and looked at the pup. His heart suddenly swelled in pride and affection as he looked at the pup. It wasn't even his and he already felt love for it.

"I've been better," she rasped before she nuzzled her son and he whimpered. "This is the only pup that survived and he looks like you. Perhaps our ancestors are trying to tell us something."

Aphron wasn't sure how to respond so he drew back a bit. "Have you named him," he asked, steering the conversation back to the pup.

Zoryum shook her head. "I want to name him a Wolf Latin name but I don't know what I should name him?"

Aphron thought for a heartbeat. He didn't want to name the pup for her but he didn't want to be nameless incase he died. "How about Kayto?"

"Kayto," echoed Zoryum as she stretched out a paw and gingerly stroked her son. "What does it mean in Wolf Latin?"

"Strength," replied Aphron with proud eyes. "This pup will all the strength he has to survive the night."
