Goldenglow draped Raven and Katie's wounds with cobweb, lambs ears leaves, sap, disinfectant sap, and normal healing leaves. His stomach glowed brightly, and a ray of gold shot out of him, letting the pain wash away from the two she-wolves, Raven gave her and Katie strength.
"You both should be well enough to travel for the journey." Goldenglow barked.
"Thanks." Raven licked her brother's shoulder.
"What are we going to do now?" Lupo asked.
"Yeah, we're at a cliff, there's nowhere to go I guess?" Twinkle woofed.
Raven stared ahead and looked at WolfFang.
"We will go to the lands after the cliff!" he mewed.
"How?" Lupo wondered.
Raven searched her mind for a solution as WolfFang stayed silent, with no answers. A bridge!
"A bridge." Raven barked.
"How will we build a bridge?" Twinkle looked around and at the wide gap between the cliff and another land across with another cliff.
"We need sap, wood, stone, clay, and mud." she answered. "Let's get building now." Raven headed off and nodded to Goldenglow. "We will take turns watching Katie. Although I think it's best for you to do that job." With that, Raven ran off to get the supplies.
"Be careful!" Goldenglow hollered.

She watched happily as her packmates and WolfFang worked to get the big pile of the supplies that increased every trip all of them did. Raven walked over to a maple tree and dug her claw into the bark, making a hole for the sap to fall into her pinecone cup.
Soon enough, all of them plopped down in front of their supplies with satisfaction.
"Great work!" Raven woofed excitedly.
Raven got up and grabbed a few logs, placing them together, sticking them to the edge of the cliff and building on quickly with the help of her powers. Her packmates helped her build on to the other cliff across, WolfFang built the walls of the bridge. A wave of happiness washed over Raven as she saw the flooring of the bridge across, meeting the other cliff, and her packmates and WolfFang were almost done with the walls. She decided to help them stick the rest and Raven jumped back to see the bridge her and her pack had made to get to their new territory.

"This is awesome, let's get to the other side." Raven barked. She started padding along the bridge, with WolfFang on one side and Snowy on the other, and Goldenglow, Twinkle, and Lupo walking behind with Katie sleeping in Goldenglow's jaws. Soon enough they were at the other piece of land and they sighed in amusement. Raven sat down and took a break. A wolf pup whimpering alerted them.
"Is that Katie?" Raven tossed her head around but then shook her head.
"No.." Goldenglow narrowed his eyes in curiosity.
Raven got up and a new scent inhaled itself into her nostrils, it was a wolf pup.
"Help!" a voice squeaked.
Raven dived into the bushes from where the scent and voice were coming from, feeling a tuft of fur between her claws.
"Are you okay?" she asked worried.
A brown and gray he-wolf anxiously curled up in a ball, looked up at Raven with a blue gaze. "No, my pack and parents abandoned me and there's a bear trying to kill me." His fur started bristling.
"You can live with us." Raven barked.
"Are you serious, will you be my mother?" The brown and gray pup looked up hopefully.
"Of course." Raven licked his scruff and hauled him out to sit next to Katie. "Our new pack member, and my first son."
Snowy padded up to the pup and licked his shoulder, "I'm your father." he woofed.
"What's his name?" Twinkle asked with adoring eyes.
Raven nodded and looked expectantly at the pup.
"Luke." The gray and brown wolf pup smiled.
"I'm Raven." Raven crouched to look him straight into his eyes.
"I'm Goldenglow." Goldenglow stepped up.
Twinkle and Lupo also introduced themselves, WolfFang mentioned he was a helper and what his name was. Raven had explained what had happened to Katie and introduced her to him. Luke looked shocked most of the time.

A roar had sounded throughout the area, Raven's ears twitched and pricked up.
"That's the bear!" Luke growled.
"I'll protect you!" Raven licked him in a reassuring way and stood in front of him.
WolfFang hissed and screeched, he crouched at the front while his tail stood up and his fur was a mess and ruffled. The bear swatted its paws at them, they were very large compared to their paws. Raven dodged the bear's long claws, she jumped up and got on its back. The bear tried shaking Raven off of its back, no luck. Raven bit down hard on its neck and produced holes in the bear's pelt and let blood ooze out. The tinge of blood in her mouth made her feel sick. She got anxious as soon as the bear weakly picked up Lupo and that Luke tried rescuing him. She dug her claws into the bear deeply, inserting black poison. The bear roared and flailed its paws, making its way to stand up.
"Raven, watch out!" Snowy howled.
Raven felt the bear's body turn sideways, she looked up and released the grip from the bear's neck to see herself falling with the bear, she sprouted her black wings and flew off with a grunt. The bear made a loud thump as it fell to the ground, with eyes shut. Raven breathed heavily and folded her wings back into her pelt.
"Is everyone okay?" she asked.
A whimper arose, from Lupo.
Lupo..
"Lupo!" Goldenglow raced over and put his head to his brother's chest.
"You can heal him right?" Luke asked.
"Yes..." Goldenglow's body shined like the sun, his gold filled Lupo's wound, stitching it up.
"How come you couldn't do that with Huntress's wounds?" Raven questioned.
"They were a lot worse." Goldenglow pasted the wound with disinfectant sap. "Lupo will be able to do the journey."
"Thank you." Lupo's bark was grateful, he got up slowly and licked his brother's shoulder.
"You're welcome." Goldenglow smiled and glanced at Raven, Snowy, and WolfFang.
"We'll be continuing the journey." Raven barked.
Goldenglow nodded and raced over to carry Katie.
WolfFang started padding with Raven at his side, Snowy caught up to get on the other side. She stared in amazement at the mountains, hills, fields, forests, rivers, and a lakeshore.
"This is amazing." she gasped.
"The sun is starting to set though." Lupo added.
"Follow me, we'll stay in a cave for the night." WolfFang mewed.
"How do you know everything here when there was no bridge until we built one today?" Goldenglow asked.
"There was an underground tunnel, but that was gone last time I checked."
"Oh."
"Where's this cave now?" Luke looked around in the darkening area.
"Follow me." WolfFang led the wolves to a small cave, perfect for a small pack's shelter. There were old nests that haven't been used in a while, Raven settled down in one of them and watched as her packmates and WolfFang curled up and fell asleep, she followed their pawsteps.
