The long run.

The next

That night I woke up and had a strong sensation that I needed to be outside. So I got up and walked outside to find a voice in my head That said leave it was about two hours until sun raise. The voice in my head sounded so much like my mother I went to Leo and I woke him. I asked him what should we do and he said that we should leave that he trusted what it was that had spoken to me.

We woke Eric and we set out to the east. We treded snow for hours and about an hour before sun raise I started to hear things in the distance. Then I began to see things. I warned Leo and made Eric get down into the sled. I began to hear voices but they where voices I've heard before but not for a long time.

We started to hear snarls and we realized we had entered a packs territory and that was not good. I stopped the sled and got down on my nose and pushed my head down. To show that I respected the wolves authority but has soon has the wolf was looking at me I assumed a sitting position to show that I had authority to. He stood taller and I knew only that I would be a chief and that would put me right below this wolves authority because I could tell it was the chief so I raised myself to my authority and bowed.
The wolf looked at me with its deep and understanding eyes. I mean he really looked at me, it was as if he was recognizing me. "What is your business here," a gentle but powerful voice cane through my head as clear has day. I answered back but I really just thought it. I hoped with everything I had that we where not of opposing packs. I thought I have come to gather the members of the till nation, if I don't complete this then by the end of the 10 moon all will be lost. Very well the wolf said we will let u pass but we will also help you across the tundra for it is a dark place with many dangers. I inclined my head and agreed for to deny would be a great insult. I then asked the wolf its name. His name was Rafáel. It was all I could do not to blanch out has his name came to my ears for I recognized it not has a wolfs name but has my father's. I forgot the rules and manners and I jumped up and ran for as long as possible until I collapsed from lose of breath.  I don't know what I was thinking but I couldn't handle the emotions that over whelmed me. After my father disappeared all those years ago even a passing summer rain will send me into a fit and now is not the time to break down I have to be strong for my people. I only I hope I can handle the  challenge.
