Prologue.
When Jackfruit and Honeydew made it out of weird, odd places on their mission. Rambutan told where their authority was. And she was in the treehouse ever since. Honeydew didn't mean to bring up something that Jackfruit didn’t understand while searching for their authority. Of all these years, Honeydew always thought Jackfruit knew it by now. But it looks like she didn’t.

She couldn’t guess where she was, they’ve left her behind like useless stuff that wasn’t meant to be interacted with or used with.
She felt like she wasn't something that was assigned for.
Leaving someone to suffer on a deserted continent was like surviving on an island but much bigger, and larger. And probably filled with resources. With a higher survival chance. Like a world to yourself. But it was also terrifying that every corner of an eye you see was a black figure, but looking directly at that spot was like a tease. Like you just got played by pups. And being alone, in a void felt like you were being watched on by thousands of eyes, wolves, souls. Anything that terrified her.

Dark maroon halls filled the hallway, it looked so modern and odd, despite the two. A very far corridor. Dim. Suspiciously dangly light bulbs above them. Sides always had the feeling to make her look left and right every time with cautiousness. Each room that was part of the corridor; empty. But it always made her have an uneasy feeling. She always thought that inside one of the rooms would have a wolf skeleton. Laying there around the corners. Or maybe more than one.
Her hesitation just couldn’t leave her alone. Like a clingy, evil soul. Always attached to her and starving for attention. Thinking it's a monster at every corner of her eye.
A creamy-yellow wolf was in front of Jackfruit. They both sauntered and toured the corridor. Glances and peeks at each room and each other, so scared but so amazed at the same time. Each time they looked back, always made an eerie feeling that a monster would come at them, rushing and breaking down the halls like fragile china. Crashing down every room to bits and pieces just to devour them entirely.
And each suspicious, loud, or creaky noise. It felt like their entire nightmare was actually true.

“ BY-ALL-THE-MOONS! When are we going to get t-there?! “ Jackfruit complained frantically with a shivery tone. The creamy-yellow wolf behind her jumped back with the widest, shocked eyes.
“ Be quiet! Don’t make me jump like that! We're going to go back home. But I don’t think that Durian and Cherimoya will like our results. It's kinda bad. Especially in an odd place like this; We’re never going to find anything.“ Honeydew replied. She carried four apple seeds in her paws from her pouch bag that wrapped around her waist. With worry and stress, the two wolves kept sauntering until they saw any surface of light. The wolves sprinted like it was an exit from a long, exhausting chase.
It was yards away from them.
Honeydew was faster than Jackfruit. Even though wolves with pennons that are smaller and less-feathered are known to have more flight speed and swiftness than big-pennoned wolves.
A white gateway had emitted its brightest light, to reach their eyes to tell them it was a complete exit with freedom. Or if it was just another trick.
Honeydew had flung herself into the door, along with Jackfruit.
The two wolves had touched on land. A small island of grass. Jackfruit and Honeydew slowly opened their eyes, they positioned themselves to stand up and toured the place. Honeydew trotted straight, without caution, she caught herself off a far, high edge. It wasn’t that high. It was just touching the cloud’s surface kind-of-level.
Frantically and shocked, she resumed back to her friend still with the shocked expression.
The floating island they were on, didn’t seem to hesitate them to wonder why that corridor was so long to match the island’s base.
Honeydew whisked her pennons and dove off into the thick sky with a vanish as her feathers blew into Jackfruit’s face.
Jackfruit didn’t like how Honeydew acted. Her personality and actions were similar to her sister’s but it was just. —Horrible for her to witness constantly everyday.
Jackfruit swept off the feathers and inhaled and exhaled white mist, she steddied back, she studied her paws into stability and action.
With a jump, Jackfruit opened her pennons wide and darted after Honeydew’s direction without hesitation.
The clouds made pathways for Jackfruit. Clouds that separated in rows where Honeydew had fled through. It was easier to fly through clouds than trees and thick wind. Stuff that was already done for you. No problems, no nothing. Like easy tests for you to finish and get a hundred-percent on it on the first try.
Not until you face regrets.
There was no option for you to leave. There was no option for you to go back, or anything like that. It was just mostly, peace. But, the thing is, you can't really cancel anything that someone requests you to do. You’ll have regrets anywhere you go. It’s just there for every decision you have to make. And if you choose wisely, it will always end up in a knot.
Time passed, Jackfruit was tired. She hadn’t slept for two days. And so has Honeydew. But the fact is, she just couldn’t imagine how Honeydew has more energy than her. Even without sleeping for two days? It is just incredible.
She increased the speed of her flight. She followed directions until she could see Honeydew faraway.
Moments later, Honeydew started taking left-and-rights until Jackfruit lost her. But Jackfruit still managed to catch up to her.
An undergrowth was starting to emit through the thin clouds. Visible enough for the two wolves to see. The two wolves dove down until they could see the surface more and more.
The wolves landed without hesitation, and went straight like they knew where to go. They vanished into the undergrowth.
Branches snapping, twigs breaking. The two wolves kept going straight then took other directions occasionally.
The undergrowth started to show less trees as the more they kept sprinting. No trees until it became a grassy, empty, misty foggy field.
A minute later, in front of them was a very tall treehouse. Like a massive stump with a wooden mansion built in the upper trunk to where the branches were. The white fog and mist had avoided this structure.
The wolves stopped at the footbridge that led to the massive tree house. They started to venture upwards, until they reached the doors that were twice their size.
They stood there, waiting for an opening response. But nothing reacted.
They pushed through the door. The whole entire center was massive and very rocky. Tall as two hotels stacked on top of eachother. Polished marble floors on every level and room. The walls were a rough, dark gray on every room and wall.
In the middle, was a very long spiral staircase that led to multiple rooms and levels. The staircase continued until the final level, of which were eight certain levels.
The roof was very rocky and sharp like the roof of a normal, stone den. String lights started from each floor’s fence that followed the spiral staircase, all the way up to the final level.
Every level had a full circle, touching the polished marble walls.
The wolves didn’t climb up the staircases, instead, they flew up to the final level.
The final level had only one room. But in front of them, appeared a rocky entrance like a bear's massive den. It was dark, the shadows swallowed the entire appearance. Enough to make the wolves worried that it was a monster’s bait.
Honeydew stepped in first, she checked if it was clear. She flung herself in and tried not to act stupid, and act like nothing strange or someone strange was with her and Jackfruit.
The tunnel of shadows had gotten darker the more they traveled through until behind them, the entrance looked very small. But the wolves won’t find out what they’ll witness. Yet.
Up ahead, was a small, light bulb that hung from the room. It flickered intensely for moments. The lightbulb went out. It fell and shattered with pieces of pointy glass that dramatically spread across the room like ashes and debris. The filament of the lightbulb was almost flung to their faces.
Startled, the wolves jumped back. They turned to leave, but the entrance behind them looked like it was completely gone from the shallow dark hall.
They obviously knew it was the way back, but they didn’t like it from here. They wanted to look for Mangosteen and Cherimoya. But it looked like an unsuccessful scavenge for them in this tunnel.
“ What are you doing in there?! Cherimoya is in the kitchen level, you nitwits! “ A young, female voice of a pup called from the start of the entrance with a worried tone.
Jackfruit and Honeydew followed the young voice and sprang to safety.
They’ve made it out at last. The pup was a very small, rosy pink coat with light-green feathers and a face pattern like a fox’s. She also had the same body color as her pennons. She looked alot like Yangmei’s little sister.
Honeydew gave her a startled gaze. “ Hi Rambutan. “ She patted her on the nose.
Rambutan responded with a furrowed, angry stare. “ You two shouldn’t go in there! And why did it take so long for you guys to come back? Mangosteen only said look for pomegranates— those aren’t even far at all! “ She stepped closer to them passively.
“ We were..” Jackfruit started. “ Stuck in a corridor. “ She tipped her head down nervously.
“ Not stuck! It just gave us an eerie feeling, that's all. “ Honeydew interjected with a nudge. “ And it was just straight down with rooms at every four steps. Totally normal. “
Rambutan stared at both of them with deep, monitoring glare. Then walked away and flew down to the bottom plaza.
Jackfruit and Honeydew gave each other confuzzled expressions side to side. They both walked down at the edge of the level and flew down.
“ Honeydew, “ Jackfruit started. Honeydew glanced at her.
“ Yes? “120Please respect copyright.PENANAZplNOAV2tJ
“ I have a feeling… That we’re going to be the worst missionaries for Durian and Cherimoya. And be the lowest team rank on the leaderboard! “ She looked at her paws while they were flying down. They eventually made it down safely on both of their feet and paws.
“ No we won't! Unless we understand what Durian means. She isn’t a Malino like us. I mean, she has wings. But she’s from another continent. And her original language is from another continent.
“ There’s another continent?. “ Jackfruit echoed.
“ Yes. Have you ever heard about it? “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAHitwRihtXr

There was a strong blizzard in the evening. Huge amounts of heavy, cold wind shot into his face, his fur blowing back, like wolves throwing cobblestone rocks at him. He was halfway there to the palace. His home. Halfway there to report news to his leader.
After a few pawsteps. Windbreaker finally managed to make it there on time. If he didn’t, he’d be exiled and probably be executed from his pack. He felt like his coat was about to peel off from the heavy wind. His gray coat, covered in snow patches half frozen to death.
Bundles of snowflakes licked around his whole body, making him look like white bundles of snow. Windbreaker walked in drowsy, but he finally missed the warmth of the Moon Palace. He shook off the snow, and snuck forward, he saw the bedroom of the leader’s den. Walked, then sprinted, straight towards his leader. Eyes blinked upon the dark. His leader looked disgraceful as she saw him.
A tall, reddish-pink body walked out of the pink bedroom curtains, seeing Windbreaker sprinting towards it like a horse.
“Windbreaker, you finally arrived.” Said the pink wolf. Her fur spouted like sprouting blossoms. Windbreaker stopped with a relieved face.
“ I’ve gotten the message! Onyx says we have a pack meeting at DuskPaw tomorrow! It's true!” Windbreaker barked the news right at her. The wolf took a step back with an annoyed face.
“ Alright, but don’t shout at me, idiot. You could have woken up the whole palace. “ She spun around and trotted back to her bedroom. “And go to bed, it's already midnight. I’ll think about the information. Thank you. “ She walked away in the shadows of the bedroom curtains that closed like weeping flowers. Windbreaker felt ashamed with his head down, and mourned up the stairs of diorite.
Windbreaker walked past a few dorms, and went up a couple of floors. Across the hall he saw Shadecrow sitting at the front of the fence. Windbreaker trotted to him and sat next to him.
" Hey Shadecrow, whatcha doing? " Asked Windbreaker with a pleased tone. He flicked his tail and peered his head down to watch the view of the palace floors with him.
"Ay kid, shouldn't ya’ be sleeping? " Shadecrow would nudge Windbreaker's left shoulder, reminding him. Windbreaker looked at him, he knew his bedtime. Windbreaker replied,
" Oh, uhm yes but..Shouldn't you be sleeping too?.."
" Yeah, but the rules changed. Us elders sleep early now. Our bedtimes at.. Like what? 8 PM? Whatever. Sakura sucks at making' rules' anyways." Snapped Shadecrow. His deep voice cracked a bit.
" Hey, don't you dare say that! She's the pack leader! And.. That's too early.." Windbreaker faced his head forward. Shadecrow fixed his head forward too. " Yeah, I agree, but we haven't gotten a Deputy yet. I bet Lionshade or Jadekinse is gonna be it. " Shadecrow replied, flicking his tail tip.
" Jadekinse isn't even old enough to become a deputy! She is trained decently but she is too young! She’s only seven-teen years old too!" Windbreaker looked at Shadecrow like he wasn't paying attention.
" She's just a young warrior. As long as you got 'warrior' in yo' name, you still can be a deputy, Windbreaker. Someday you'll be chosen. Elders are too old to lead packs; and maybe they’ve experienced it too. Besides, you're the perfect role to be a Deputy. " Shadecrow groomed his fur and shaked his neck. " Someday kid, someday."
Windbreaker peered his eyes at him. He never felt how powerful the word ' encourage' could be. If he's the perfect fit. Then he will be.
"Go to bed, it's already midnight." Shadecrow ordered. Windbreaker sat up and walked to his dorm behind him.

CHAPTER 1.
THE OCCASIONAL MEETING
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiegMwFcEMe
Dorm 616. The birds singing, the peaceful ambience of the waterfall sounds trickling and crashing down. Windbreaker woke up from his deep sleep. He sat up and frog-blinked. His eye bags were deeply heavy. He didn't get enough sleep after that talk he had with Shadecrow last night.
The vine curtains opened. A pink snout poked in. The nose flared. Coming in with a pink-rosy colored coated wolf name Dragonfruit. Dragonfruit is Windbreaker’s sister. She walked towards him.
" Oi brother, did you get enough sleep? You look like those green weird-looking two-legs called 'Zombies'. I've seen one before. They're two-leg cannibalisms." Said Dragonfruit, her British accent whirled with confidence. she bent down to sit and flicked her tail. " Leave me alone, Dragonfruit, I don't care, or know what a zombie is. I just want to lay back in bed. '' Windbreaker splotted back on his big moss bed.
" Brother! We have a clan meeting! You don't wanna miss it! It's embarrassing with you looking like that as my sibling. Go wash your face or something. " She walked away outside the dorm. Windbreaker was still asleep when Dragonfruit was talking. An hour later, the air changes from back and forth like the clouds. The windbreaker couldn't handle sleeping with air shifting like this. He had no choice but to get up. He was still sleepy.
The clan meetings are gonna be great Windbreaker, get up, and show yourself, handsome boy. He thought about it. And he remembered how powerful the word courage is. He stood up and blinked. He felt more alive and brave. More fearless.
He trotted out of his dorm room, went down the diorite stairs, the red carpet trailing down aligned with every staircase and floor. And he saw all of the wolves, talking and chatting with each other. Secrets and conversations were emitted in the free time before the meeting started. More wolves than usual. Cause of the meeting, the most important event in the pack of all of the wolf years. All wolves gather around at a meeting hall, and listen to very, very important news and announcements.
Windbreaker was looking around for his best friend, Jadekinse. A young skilled wolf. She is in operative training, and her mentor is Nightcat. Her primary coat is hinted like a sacramento watermelon striped marking, her secondary fully colored basil. She noticed Windbreaker trotting towards her.
Windbreaker came trotting towards her like a horse going at full galloping speed. “ Jadekinse! “ He called out to her. “How is it going?” As Windbreaker met her eyes, he braked his paws on the rough carpet, accidentally carpet-burning his paws.
“Uhm… Good but why are you so excited to see me? And, you’re in my space bubble, doofus. “ Jadekinse sat up and walked to the lounging room.
“JADEKINSE, WAIT FOR ME!!!!” Windbreaker shouted, following Jadekinse to the lounging room, within the eyes of the pack staring at them.
Windbreaker slipped and fell. At the entrance of the lounging dorm with its polished marble floor.
“ Jadekinse! Why’d you leave me?” Windbreaker interjected.
“ Leave me alone Windbreaker! Are you this desperate for friends? “ Jadekinse said.
“ You're the only friend I have! At least go hunting with me!!” Windbreaker got up and begged her like a pup. Jadekinse rolled her eyes at him and kept going.
“ We don’t have hunting sessions during a pack meeting, doofus. “ She laid down on a smooth-carved stalagmite lounge bed. Windbreaker’s jaw dropped dramatically.
“ UGH, FINE! “ he scoffed and blew a raspberry at her and left the room. Jadekinse looked at him, Windbreaker peeking his head out of the entrance and sticking out his tongue at her and left. Multiple wolves in the room had been watching the scenario like owls.
“ What a goofball he is. “ She chuckled, resting her head and closing hereyes.
“ Ugh, SO STUPID!!” Windbreaker shoving things with his shoulder from side to side on purpose. As he constantly kept doing it, he saw Sakura and Vermon talking to each other. His interest came into him and he got closer slowly step-by-step. Sakura throwing mischievous expressions at him makes Windbreaker feel uneasy. He felt like a whirl of embarrassment and eyes had laid on him, which made him feel like Jadekinse disliked him, desperate for friends.
He stood to spy on their conversation behind the painted stacked rocks. He shifted his eyes to Vermon, talking.
Vermon swept his tannish tail and made a detected look. " I sense someone spying on us, Sakura. You?" Sakura looked at him and sensed it as well.
" Agreed, a spy is here. We must go to the clan meeting before they catch any evidence. " Sakura went on top of the diorite rock beneath her bedroom. She inhaled and exhaled. Ready to speak.
Windbreaker made a flustered face when he made the leader make a meeting. Already sensed? How bad do I smell?
" All wolves gather around the rock for important news. " Sakura called out. All of the wolves heard, and went to the rock.
Meanwhile Windbreaker, worried that they have caught him, he trotted to the rock to act normal. He tried to not look suspicious. He turned and stared at the lounge dorm. He realized he needed to get Jadekinse.
" Wait! Jadekinse! " He scurried, shoving and passing the clamor of wolves while they watched his impatient movement. " JADEKINSE!" He shouted.
Jadekinse went up immediately when she heard Windbreaker's call.
" WHAT DO YOU WANT, WIND?!"
She got down the bed and trotted to him with an angry look.
" WE HAVE A MEETING! " Windbreaker shouted, all of the other wolves in the lounge room heard and immediately trotted out to the rock. Jadekinse rolled her eyes at him and walked past him. Windbreaker turned and walked with her.
They both sat down, next to each other, and looked at their leader. Sakura looked down and began to announce.
" As I say, our news reporter, Windbreaker, had caught the signal and told me that we have a pack meeting at SunPaw."
Jadekinse went timid. Hopefully not to go early. " Oh don't tell me we're going early!" She whispered to Windbreaker. Windbreaker shrugged not knowing either. But he didn't care if the pack went early or not. " We are going at mid-sunpaw, because we are running low on prey in the storage room. We'll have to assign patrols until we come back. This event is important, I suppose we'll have a great time as always. Meeting dismissed.

CHAPTER. 2
THE GATHERING
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuWvMc3uYbA
All of the wolves dashed away, excited for the clan meeting. Clan meetings only happen every 3 years. And this is the time. Clan meetings gather every pack to come to the main center. And the pack rulers will share news and announce upcoming events or huge news.
Jadekinse stood up and so did Windbreaker. Jadekinse sighed
" Isn't this just great, Windbreaker? Our tenth meeting so far throughout the moons! I mean, just look, we've been through so much, everything just grew!"
Windbreaker looked worried but he didn't like meetings but on the other paw, he had to and agreed.
" Uhm—meetings — uh— yeah." He said, sounding suspicious. Jadekinse stared at him.
"Uhm..OK! Let's go! " Jadekinse and Windbreaker dashed out the lichen vine doors, and all of the wolves followed Sakura, leading to the Meeting Hall.
Time passes, the clouds dance and merge as it flies. And the temperature went up and down recently as The Moon Pack arrived at the Meeting Hall. A pink foot stomped on the ground of the entrance line.
" We're the first ones here. Good. " Sakura said. The pack and Sakura walked straight through the doors of the meeting hall. The room smelled like old mansion air, loch furniture, — which was odd. Candles lit, and chandeliers lit above the 3 yard long wooden table. The light source in the room was not powerful enough for the pack to see. But they could still see. Sakura looked disgusted but tried to hide it. The pack roamed around, wandering and viewing the room.
Windbreaker heard a squeak from the right. He went into an archway, and found a gray mouse, cornered and obviously didn't want to be eaten.
" Aww, I wish I could eat you but-" The mouse looked at him with scared widened eyes.
"...Ok.." Jadekinse came into the aisle.
" What are you doing?" She questioned him and peeked.
" A mouse? Just eat it. Wolves don't have mercy." Jadekinse leaned her head to the mouse and opened her mouth wide, but Windbreaker smacked her.
" OW! What was that for?!" Jadekinse growled.
" DON'T EAT THAT MOUSE JADE! I know it's prey but DON'T! " Windbreaker snapped at her, Jadekinse rolled her eyes when she saw cringe.
" Why are you so protective about your prey? You eat it too, y'know. "
" WHAT?! NO I D-DON'T!" Windbreaker stammered, a pawstep clambered in and they both turned around to see Sakura. Standing at the entrance of the room aisle.
" What's all this ruckus about? " She stepped into the spot and saw a scared mouse, cornered and it was speaking in gear constantly. " A mouse. Eat it. The meeting starts soon and the Atlantic Pack already got here so mind eating something. It's a 5 hour meeting so I don't want you guys to starve. " She walked away and faded away into the darkness.
The two wolves looked at eachother, then to the mouse.
" Should we?.." Windbreaker requested. "....Yeah." Jadekinse opened her mouth and ate the mouse in one bite. "erm, where’s MY bite?! " Windbreaker growled. " Oh, now you're mad about it. Jadekinse said, leaving Windbreaker, steaming red.
They both got to the center of the hall. They both could imagine Opera music playing. The door burst open, they both looked behind, The Inferno Pack arrived. Sakura looked at them and their leader, Pyre, maroon primary with a dark cape with speckled dots the same color as her primary.
She walked towards her. Sakura gives Pyre a cold look. Sakura disliked Pyre.
" Don't give me that look. And, the Monsoon pack won't be arriving today. '' She said.
" Wait, why not? This is a clan meeting! They're supposed to be here!" Sakura exclaimed, she gave a confused look at Pyre.
" One of my messengers got a message from the Monsoon Pack and they said ' tell the Moon Pack we're not gonna be there because of important stuff.' Pyre quoted. Sakura is still and confused why.
" But the meeting is more important than that! '' She tipped her head.
" Well, don't blame me, blame them for being the laziest pack. And, is the Atlantic Pack here? I didn't see them come in. '' Pyre gave her a waiting look.
" Yeah, what do you think? They didn't come? Onyx knows how this code works and so do we. '' Sakura answered. Pyre sat down next to her with her tail tucked.
" OK yeesh, I was just asking. '' She looked around and saw all of the wolves sitting. But she felt odd about the crowd. Her focus went back to Sakura. " Are we missing someone? '' Pyre asked Sakura. Sakura looked around to check.
" Yeah, we're missing Shadecrow and Snakestrip. Check around the hall outside." Pyre rolled her eyes. She didn't like being bossed. Especially from a leader.
Pyre walked through the doors and swung shut. She went to find Shadecrow's and Snakestrip's scent. But too many wolves were walking and it was hard to find it since it was buried with a—bunch of scent marks laying around. Pyre wasn't a master at scenting, so she went in and got Sakura to scent.
" What is it now? Did you get their scent?
Pyre shook her head.
" No, they're are too many scent marks laying around and I bet their scent marks are buried within. I'll need you to find them. And besides, I'm not the best at scenting y'know. " Pyre pushed Sakura out of her moss seat. Sakura grunted and walked out.
The doors shut quietly behind her. Sakura bowed down to the tip of her nose and began to smell. Pyre is right, a lot of scent marks are laying around. But she managed to find Shadecrow's scent first. She followed the navigated scent line and heard whines and screaming with an odd smell. Sakura stood, she peeked at the edges of the corners, there she saw Shadecrow biting off the neck fluff out of Snakestrip.
Snakestrip whined loudly. " STOP! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! " He struggled to break free, but Shadecrow didn't respond and kept pinning him on the wall.
Sakura, shocked, and appalled, she dashed to the hall entrance and had to tell Pyre and the pack.

Chapter. 3
UNEXPECTED INCIDENT
120Please respect copyright.PENANAQsVZaV7OVJ
Sakura dashed straight towards Pyre. Pyre looked at her as soon as she got there. " What's the matter? Did you get the scent- " " SHADECROW IS KILLING SNAKESTRIP!!" Sakura shouted so loud, the packs stared at her with widened eyes. Pyre face-pawed. " What? Now?" Sakura was breathing heavily, she didn't have the oxygen to say it again. " Shadecrow is KILLINGSNAKESTRIP!! YOUR MEDICAL!! " Sakura shouted in her face again. Pyre was shocked and stunned. " W-what?." Sakura's face went furious. " DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN." Sakura went closer, forehead-to-forehead. Pyre couldn't believe her ears. She turned to her pack group. " COME ON PACK, LETS GO EXILE THIS WOLF."
The Inferno Pack dashed outside, Sakura followed in to lead the scent. They followed Sakura and saw Shadecrow clawing Snakestrip's underbelly. Snakestrip whining and trying to attack back. Shadecrow is two times his size. Pyre's eyes were widened and shocked. " PIN HIM! " She called out, Shadecrow looked and the pack rushed to pinned Shadecrow down. Sakura and Pyre went to check on Snakestrip. They both got the grown wolf, Sakura grabbing his head, and Pyre grabbing his tail.
Time passes, the two wolves impatiently waiting, wondering where their leader is and where Inferno Pack is. Jadekinse swept her tail and rested her head on the smoothed-taaffeite carved table. — taaffeite is scarce to mine and find. The doors busted open, the two came in, holding hurt Snakestrip. The wolves and the two looked at them surprised. The leader, Onyx, came in and looked at Snakestrip. " What in the world HAPPENED?!" Onyx was shockingly terrified. " CAN WE EVEN START THE MEETING?!" She tucked her tail. Sakura and Pyre nodded at each other and went to the nursing room and threw Snakestrip in there. " Get your pack, I think we can finally start the meeting. '' Pyre rolled her eyes again and dashed outside.
Onyx went timid. Worried about Snakestrip. " Is he okay?What happened to him?!" Onyx burst the questions out into Sakura's face. " He's fine, why are you even worried? He's not your pack member anyways." Sakura said. The Inferno Pack came in. " Can we start the dang meeting now?!" Pyre protested. "Well, we'll need the Monsoon Pack to get their lazy buts in — So, yeah. '' Pyre grunted loudly and flopped to the ground, tired. Sakura rolled her eyes sarcastically. " Fine, I'll get.." She looked over Windbreaker and Jadekinse. " Those two to get The Monsoon Pack. '' Jadekinse and Windbreaker looked at her. Sakura called them over here. " What is it?" Jadekinse questioned. Windbreaker panting in excitement. " Can you guys do me a favor? '' Sakura asked them.
'' Sure..?" Jadekinse replied.
" Can you go get The Monsoon Pack please? '' Sakura looked at them to make them do it. Jadekinse's and Windbreaker's jaws dropped. " WHAT?! " They both said at the same time. Sakura chuckled. " Go get The Monsoon Pack. It's not far, it's like a two-hour walk to get there. You'll be fine. '' Jadekinse and Windbreaker walked out the doors and took a right.

CHAPTER. 4
RECALLING THE RAINFOREST
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPFE2pz2MCy
An hour passed. The duo were tired. It felt like an endless walking exercise to them. Windbreaker plopped on the plain grass. " When is it gonna.. End.." Windbreaker wanted to sleep. Jadekinse smacked his head. " COME ON WIND! This is a mission by our leader! I know The Monsoon Pack is lazy and all stuff, but this is important and — WE are not backing DOWN! So get up, lazy! " Jadekinse yelled at him. Windbreaker groaned and got up anyway.
Another hour passed and they finally got there. The Rainforest. They both walked into the rainforest, seeing lots of monkeys, sloths, hares, and squirrels. " This place is amazing." Jadekinse complimented. Windbreaker nodded and agreed. " Indeed it is." They both took a inhale of the rainforest-air and exhaled smoothly. Windbreaker heard a twig crack. He looked around to check if anyone was there. " Jadekinse, someone's here. We should leave." Windbreaker alerted. " What?! No! We gotta get The Monsoon Pack! " Jadekinse said, she heard the twig Crack again. A wolf was walking towards them out of the dim shadows.
They both went timid. " Hey guys! " The purple wolf greeted them. Jadekinse's eyes went wide. " AHHH!! " Windbreaker screamed. " Shhh! Shush it!.. " Jadekinse looked at the purple wolf. " Hi..Uhm..We are..New around here.." Jadekinse said. The purple wolf's ears went up and her primary color changed to a vibrant- sunset color. " Oo! Yeah! I'll introduce myself, my name is Ronnie. I'm just a regular senior warrior from The Monsoon Pack! I'll be your tour! " Ronnie introduced. " Follow me." Jadekinse and Windbreaker followed Ronnie.
" Deeper in the rainforest, you can tame lots of friendly animals by giving them a big blueberry called kamidae! You can tame it with sloths, koalas, capybaras, monkeys, and alot more! “ Ronnie said. Windbreaker wasn’t paying attention and looking around. The three wolves walked on a long royal carpet leading them to a tall, modern rustic treehouse. Colored eyes glowed from the treetops. Jadekinse was in attack mode. “ Is this an attack?! “ She alerted the 2. Ronnie chuckled and shook her head. “ No, Silly! It's just the wolves from our pack! They’re just so curious to see you! Here, let's go into the treehouse so we can meet our leader! “ The eyes from the treetops followed they’re every movement. Jadekinse and Windbreaker both looked at each other, worried. Ronnie acted like it was nothing. The more they walked towards the treehouse, the darker it got. The wolves went up the steps and arrived. “ Here we are, at the entrance! “ Ronnie knocked on the wooden door. The door opened slowly with darkness and red eyes peeked out. “ Who’s there? Ronnie? “ called a voice from the treehouse. Ronnie opened the door fully, getting impatient.
The shadows swept away as the door opened. A huge white-redish wolf was standing in front of them. The leader looked questioned as she looked at the unrecognizable guests.
“ Ronnie, who are these wolves? Are they from a different pack? Are they from..Wait, ARE THEY FROM INFERNO PACK?!- "
" What?! No! Uhm..They're from.." She turned around and analyzed them for a second. " They're from…Moon pack! Yeah!.." Ronnie said. " Oh, well. My name is Redjackal—and.. — WHAT DO YOU WANT?!” All of the wolves looked shockingly at the leader. They had never seen her this mad before.
Ronnie stepped back and so did the others. Jadekinse took a deep breath and went in front of Ronnie.
Redjackal looked down at Jadekinse. " We need you to come to the Meeting RIGHT NOW! And if you don't, you're not gonna be a pack anymore!" Jadekinse ordered her. Redjackal growled. The wolves from the treetops gasped. " HOW DARE YOU ORDER ME! LET'S HAVE A BATTLE-"
“ NO, SHUT UP!! OMG you're so blah, follow us!!, and bring your pack too." Jadekinse shouted at her, Redjackal snarled at her with disgrace.
As the wolves arrived at the Meeting Hall entrance, the doors burst wide open and The wolves looked at the Monsoon pack. " You came!" Sakura greeted them. Redjackal growled at her.
" Oh, What's the matter?"
" This green watermelon wolf told me what to do, and growled at ME!" Redjackal shouted in her face. Sakura was surprised. "...Jadekinse? The fully-trained wolf—that isn’t a young warrior?" Redjackal’s face slowly turned red, feeling like she is repeating herself to a mouse
” YES! “ She yelled loudly in her face, way too close for comfort. All of the wolves stared at her. Including the pack rulers. Sakura facepalmed.
“ Look, you don’t gotta yell, let’s just get started with the dang meeting already.” Sakura sighed and the leaders walked up the diamond thrones and sat down.

CHAPTER. 4
STARTING THE ACTUAL
120Please respect copyright.PENANAm8ITOXTTGu
The wolves looked at the leaders. The main leader, Sakura. Began to take a deep breath and exhale.
“ Wolves of all packs, us pack rulers must announce something upcoming. “ Sakura looked right, facing Pyre.
“ As we start off, we have a huge event coming up this month. We will all meet up instead at the meeting hall, we will all meet up at The Moon Palace instead. “ Pyre looked down at the wolves. The wolves looked confused. Sakura sided-eyed Pyre.
“ Hey, going inside our camp is against the code, miss. “ Sakura whispered to her. Pyre rolled her eyes. The wolves still looked at them confused.
“ We will all meet up at the….Rainforest!..” Pyre insisted. Still, the rainforest is where the Rain Wolves live. Sakura facepalmed and looked at her.
“ What? That's still against the code! Idiot! “ Sakura teased her. Pyre growled with frustration.
“Ok?! Where are we supposed to meet up?! Here?!” Pyre snapped roughly in her face. The wolves looked at her every movement.
“ Hey guys, stop fighting…I can hear you….”
“SHUT UP ONYX!”
“SHUT UP ONYX!”
Sakura and Pyre both looked at her. As they got in they’re positions, a random rainwolf grunted below. “ THIS IS BORING! BOOHOO!!!” The random rainwolf shouted. He got slapped after.
“ Finally, as I was saying. We will all meet up….” She stared down thinking of a place.
“ We will all meet up at the Dune Valley Stones! “ She announced. Onyx got down from her throne and got a picture from the table and pinned it on the bulletin board. Pyre sighed.
“ Is that clear? We will all meet up at Dune Valley Stones. Find us, Inferno Pack in one of the canyon ravines. “ Sakura sided-eyed Pyre.
“ Why?! Dune Valley Stones is a whole canyon! They won’t find your pack in the whole bunch of canyon aisles. At least be more specific
“ Tell what row your guys are in. —”
“ SHUT UP! “ Pyre shouted in her face. The wolves stared at her, surprisingly. Including the leaders. Sakura went back in position and grunted.

CHAPTER. 5
BORING AS HER LIFE.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA6jZFMHH0k2
As the pack rulers continued announcing their news and such, Jadekinse sighed and sneaked out of the meeting halls completely.
“ Where are you going? “ asked Windbreaker.
“ This meeting is as boring as my life. I'm going out to get fresh air. Smells like mansion air in here, not nature so, bye. “ She exited through the 2 doors. The doors swung open and closed silently. Windbreaker resumed back at the leaders as they continued the announcement.
Jadekinse sat right out the entrance on a hollow log. A flock of birds flew down and gathered around nearby, pecking for food. Jadekinse turned around and tried to catch one. With a long pounce, she missed and they all flew away and faded in the cloudy distance above. She sighed sadly and pondered back to the log droopy.
One of the doors opened slightly, Windbreaker peeked his eye to spy on Jadekinse. He stepped outside lightly, he stepped on a branch and it cracked open. She turned around and saw Windbreaker looking at her with a ‘ whoops’ look. Windbreaker gave up and sat with her on the log.
The wind whistled in they’re fur smoothly.
“Isn’t this just great? I–I mean, we’ve done so much together. But..This anniversary is just..Kinda boring to be honest, right? “ Windbreaker said. Jadekinse nodded her head.
“ Yeah…Totally. “ She agreed sadly. She looked down at her paws and drooped her ears. Windbreaker tilted his head, wondering why?
“ What’s the matter? “ He asked her.
“ Did you forget? Or did everyone forget? Ever since they saw my dad get slaughtered by Shadecrow, they all just swept it aside like nothing. It's so stupid and dumb! Even the pack rulers didn’t care! Snakestrip was my dad! And I can't believe they justswept it away, – like dust!” Jadekinse got off and went back inside the hall. 120Please respect copyright.PENANAMoZ7SQsc3j
Windbreaker followed her, curious to know more about the telling. He went inside to go follow Jadekinse. After four halls, he saw her….dead..?

CHAPTER. 6
LYING ABOUT THE TRUTH.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyZKuAU9u7t
Windbreaker trotted to her, inspected her body. Her eyes were closed and he didn’t see her breathing. He sprinted back to the hall. The nosies emerging up ahead.
As Windbreaker stopped and braked himself, he began to burst the report.
“ JADEKINSE IS DEAD!!“ He shouted so loud, it was louder than the announcement from the pack rulers. All of the wolves stared within wide eyes at him, looking embarrassed, Windbreaker stepped back slowly and swept away.
“ Jadekinse is dead? “ Pyre said.
“ Our most trained young-warrior?” Sakura shouted. She sprinted after Windbreaker. And saw him sitting with his head down timidly and the corpse of Jadekinse in front of him.
She walked slowly next to him and sat down. “ She's dead. Not breathing, not moving a single muscle. “ Sakura said.
“ Did you see anything happen to her? “ Windbreaker jumped as he heard the evil-like voice from Pyre coming from behind. From behind all of them, the giant herd of wolves followed and inspected her body.
Pyre sighed, “ She will be missed-”
“ AHHHH! “ Jadekinse woke up with wide eyes.
“ AHHHH! “ Screamed Windbreaker as well. “ You didn’t die?!” “ HOW?!” Asked Windbreaker, he stood up confused.
“ I was asleep! What do you think?!...WHY IS THE LEADERS HERE?!”
“ He told us you were dead.”- “ OKAY I DON’T CARE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! “ Jadekinse shoved through the pack of wolves down the hall, leaving the leaders and Windbreaker behind.
The doors swing open and shut slowly. Why can’t they just leave me alone for once?! “ Why did they just ignore what happened?! “ She sighed and plopped down on a decomposed moss bed. It was pitch black in here. She got up and tried to search for the light switches.
The door swung open. The glimpse of light peeking from the door. A red glowing eye peeked from the door. She turned around, and a tall wolf emerged out the door. As The wolf stepped closer to her,Jadekinse stepped back as the wolf got closer to her.
Meanwhile, Windbreaker was alone at the meeting center. All the wolf packs talk, and form friend groups occasionally. It was like he was just forgotten or forbidden in the darkness. Without Jadekinse, he’d never feel the same.
He looked around and spotted something odd. Barely any black wolves around.
“Shadecrow. “ He spotted the suspect. He scented with his snout and followed the tracks of Shadecrow’s scent. He went after until he saw a almond-white loch door. He heard a scream coming from inside. He jumped. But he could still hear the screams coming from inside.
He walked slowly and pushed the door slightly. What he found—wasn’t interesting.

CHAPTER. 7
ANOTHER CONTRETEMP?!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiu0e9yP5lw
Jadekinse—dashed out of the door as Windbreaker opened the door. Shadecrow went after and pounced on her. Within Windbreaker following every movement, he realized and head-butted Shadecrow with a slit movement.
Shadecrow trampled off her, Windbreaker tackled him down and Jadekinse managed to escape to the meeting center. Windbreaker clawed his face, and spinted after Jadekinse.
They both managed to get there at the same time.
They both bumped into they’re leader.
“ — Oh! What are you guys doing here?..Looking so-”
“ SHADECROW IS A MURDERER EXILE HIM! “ The two wolves exclaimed at the Sakura.
“ HE KILLED JADEKINSE’S FATHER, NOW HE’S TRYING TO KILL HER!“
“ HE KILLED MY FATHER HE’S TRYING TO KILL ME! “ The two wolves exclaimed again at they’re leader. Sakura was shocked. Even the other leaders. Alot.
“ Send in the guards, We need to make sure if this is real or an accusation . " Sakura ordered out. Pyre and Onyx trotted to get them. Windbreaker and Jadekinse breathing so heavily. Sakura pushed them out the way and walked straight, to find Shadecrow.
“ HE’S RUINED IT ALL FOR US.” Said Windbreaker. Jadekinse nodded and the two wolves heavily trotted to sit down on a mossy rock slab. They both plopped their heads down on the long wood table. Windbreaker yawned and sighed. Jadekinse looked at him disgusted.
“ Hey, this might be the worst meeting, or what's happening to me, but we are escaping no matter what. “ Jadekinse said, patting his back. Windbreaker looked at her. “ What do you mean escaping? The camp is our home! We can’t escape or else! The Outside is dangerous! “ he said. Sakura and the pack leaders came back with the guards. Armored in reflective diamond. Jadekinse gasped surprisingly and saw her reflection in one of the guard’s armor.
“ Are you sure we’ll be escaping to The Outside? WE literally live on the outside! “ Windbreaker said.
“ Yeah, I know that, but I’ve been studying for 8 moons, and I think I discovered that there is another outside with peace, and no war! “ Jadekinse protested. “ That's just the rain wolves scenario. Us packs have war, they’re too weak and unskilled to affix with the war. “ He sighed and looked around. Should he really escape with her? Roam free with stress? If there is really another outside with peace, and no war? And nice wolves? No packs, no violence or blood.It will be the best for him and Jadekinse.

CHAPTER. 8
THE FLUMMOXING PLAN
120Please respect copyright.PENANAMFIjOjNcja
It was time to headout of the meeting hall. For once. All of the happenings were like nothing. You can’t kill, or hide anything. Once it's revealed, they’ll know.
“ We need to dismiss this meeting, too much is happening, Shadecrow murdered Snakestrip, and Jadekinse is probably having a heart attack because her dad died. “ Said Sakura, the other leaders agreed with an aggressive nod.
“ We’ll need to restrict the meetings from now on I suppose, we never had so many incidents happen in this early event. “ Pyre stated, Onyx nodded as well.
“ Yeah, we don’t need any..Blood…Around, or…Something like that. “ Stammered Onyx. “ Onyx, you need more training on becoming a leader. I don’t get it how and why Sophia chose you to be the role of a dang leader when you're not even good enough.“ Pyre shouted in her face. She began to tear up a bit and turned away.
“ Let's just dismiss the meeting, girls. “ Sakura said.
“ ERM..YOUR THE MAIN LEADER? Shouldn’t you dismiss it, not us? “ Redjackal stated, glaring at her deeply with wide eyes. “ Oh, right. “ Sakura presses the dismiss button. The red alarm bursted with a red ray shower from the ceiling. Sakura called a short howl and all of the wolves sprinted out like horses. The other leaders got runned over. They got up and scavenged for they’re pack.
“ Let’s go home everyone. “ Said Sakura. The packs followed their leader in herds like sheep.
“ You know..Is the outside really important? H–how do you know all about this?..” Windbreaker said. Jadekinse looked at him.
“ Well..My..Mother told me about this. She said her mother escaped this island to the Outside, which is the other continent. “ Jadekinse replied, patting him on the back. “ So, it's like..Escaping..From– spikes? Or…Prison?.” “ Yeah! Like that! It's like prisoners trying to escape their cells! “ Jadekinse said. Windbreaker glared at her curiously. “ So we have 2 homes?..Or just one. “ Windbreaker questioned her, Jadekinse sighed. “ We’ll plan about this tomorrow at Moonpaw. Meet me at The Shimmering Grounds, K? “
As the pack entered their palace and returned to their dorms, Sakura gracefully trotted to her bedroom dorm. Blowing wind and autumn sunset-colored leaves surrounding the palace with sound. Windbreaker swept his curtains away and fastened open his window.
The smell of fresh, forestry air entered his nostrils. Now he knew what Jadekinse was talking about freedom this wholetime.
“ Air. “ He said. He peered his head slightly up at the bright, pearly white moon. He had the urge to howl, but didn’t want to, since the whole camp was asleep. But he still didn’t know why Jadekinse wanted to escape this continent. He knows the war and
‘Begging for peace’ stuff is still here, but he doesn’t see it. But he remembered when Shadecrow killed Snakestrip. And everyone swept it aside like nothing. Windbreaker was determined to think of the situation. “ Why does she want to leave this beautiful continent? Like, I know there is war, and begging for peace. But is there really? What if it wasn’t true and was just a myth that all wolves believed and never disagreed in?..” He wondered. So many questions exploded into his head. All over his body, brain, and somehow..Tail. Jadekinse got him into all of this. It's like she manipulated me to escape all of this. But..Even though he doesn’t see war, begging for peace, wolves. Is it really true? Why would she want to leave? Her mother told her a story. And stories can sometimes not be true. But if it's real, there is only one way out.
His eyes felt dizzy. Like a needle stabbed him right on the back into his heart. His vision went blurry, all he could see was a green, emerald wolf. Then his vision faded black.
With multiple pats, he woke up with 4 wolves surrounding him in a bright, forested area and a grassy plain circle.
“ Where am i?! Who are you wolves?!” Windbreaker exclaimed, he flew up his head up immediately, almost bonking the front wolf.
“ Oh! Uhm..It's me! Uhh.. Donna! “ The lilac white wolf said with a pressured soft tone and looked down at him. She stepped back away from Windbreaker.
“ Are you a Rainwolf? “ Windbreaker asked her. Donna nodded. He lifted his whole body up and looked around to see if Jadekinse was here. “ Where’s Jadekinse?! “
“ Oh! She’s with someone named Harper! “ Said Ronnie. “ Ronnie?..What are you doing here?..Shouldn’t you be.. — ugh. “ He plopped down on the rock slab. “ How did I..Get here…” He said in a tiring tone. Donna blushed.
“ Well..Yeah…In our rainforest, uhh, it's not peaceful! So..We’re agreeing with Jadekinse and planning to escape this horrible continent! “ Said Ronnie. She was tying her paw with green vines loose and unloosing it. Windbreaker constantly looking around for Jadekinse.
“ Here, I’ll take you to Jadekinse if you’re willing to see..her..” Donna said, trying to pressurize her voice into a soft voice. Ronnie sighed, “ Donna is..Like..A pick me. “ Ronnie whispered in his ear. “ Donna? “ “ Yeah. Donna is like a softie..” She said, “ Do you have a problem with that? “ He argued. “ Yes! Being a softie is like..Cringe or something! — “ “ Guys! Come here! Harper wants to show you guys something!” Jadekinse cutted. All of the wolves darted to the voice into a forest tunnel. Windbreaker saw a baby blue seawolf. Her purple eyes darted at him with a squint. Windbreaker stepped back as he thought she was gonna murder him. “ W-what is it? “ He stammered.
“ Well..Show them Harper! “ Harper shoveled the fluffy bushes aside and there was a huge, fossil protruding out from the ground. “ Woah..Is that a dinosaur fossil? “ Donna asked. “ A what? “ Ronnie said. “ Yes, a dinosaur fossil! Or..I think, I hope it's not some predator fossil! “ Said Harper. Windbreaker stepped closer to the unknown fossil. He leaned and sniffed the fossil. His tail twitched, he recognized the smell. But he didn’t know what it was.
“ What is it Wind? “ Jadekinse asked. “ Smells like..Tiger fossils..? “ He replied. “ Tiger fossils? Hmm..” “ Can we get on to the plan?!“ Asked Donna. “ We were here for a reason! Not to d-discover some fossils! “ Donna shoved Harper aside and sat in her spot. Harper snarled at her and sat aside. “ Alright, fine. To the cave, wolves. “ Jadekinse ordered. The 5 wolves entered the dim glowing cavern.
“ So, The plan. Since it's another continent, we’re gonna have to swim our wolf corpses there like fish, but the problem is, it's 891 miles away! “ Stated Jadekinse.
“ Maybe we can make a…speeding..raft?..” Donna insisted. “ And how will we do that? Magically make a raft with malino POWERS?! “ Ronnie shouted in her face. Donna snorted angrily. Windbreaker rolled his eyes and continued. “ Ehem, As I was saying, We need to..Wait..How do we exactly get there? “ Jadekinse stammered, she darted her eyes at the 4 wolves, requesting a solution.
“ Why are you looking at us? “ Harper said. “ A solution guys? “ Jadekinse walked to Ronnie. “ You, “ She pointed the stick at her chest. “ Do you have any solutions? “ Jadekinse questioned. Hopefully for an answer. “ Erm, yes..If you could GET AWAY! “ Ronnie pushed her away. Jadekinse growled.
“ Hey Ronnie, are you okay? “ Windbreaker patted her on the shoulder.
“ NO of course not! “ She replied back and turned around facing the stone wall. Windbreaker continued on. “ Okay wolvesstop cutting me out and let me finish.We have to build a…Uhh..A..” She looked at all the other wolves glaring at her waiting for an answer. “ A…Boat?...Hehe..” Ronnie’s face was red in embarrassment, looking at all the wolves confused. “ That's exactly what I said! “ Donna cried. “ Well, She said boat, you said raft. “ Windbreaker said.
After arguments, interrupts, getting through the plan roughly. Jadekinse gave all the wolves, except Windbreaker, 4 days to make their solutions to get to the other continent. Jadekinse looked up at the bright full moon. She sighed and went back to the den.
Her mind exploded with anxious questions. Will we escape? Will we not get caught by them? What happens if you get caught?! What if I lose everyone? She took a brief pause. She had felt so drowsy. She decided to go back home like everyone else.
She got there in time for the meeting. Windbreaker looked behind and his ear twitched up. “ Jade! Welcome back! Just in time for the meeting!” Greeted Windbreaker, she glared at him in embarrassment. “ Yeah, I know. “ She walked past him and sat behind the pack of wolves peering at the leader

ASSESSED CATASTROPHE

After the ordinary meeting. It was moonpaw. All of the wolves were asleep. Windbreaker heard close pawsteps and woke up immediately. He looked straight at his vine door, waiting for someone to appear. He rubbed his eyes and jumped off his moss nest. He saw Jadekinse through the vine door. Vines collapsed through her body slowly like leaves.
“ Jade? Why are you awake? Go to bed! “ He ordered. “ Uhm.. We’re going to the hideout! "said Jadekinse. “ The what? “ “ The place where we make our plans to escape! “ Jade grabbed his paw and dragged him outside, taxing without any suspicious din. Jadekinse let go of his paw as soon as they got to the mouth of the palace. “ C’mon! “ They both dashed away to the hideout, not far, but kinda difficult to reach intime.
“ Are the others there too?! “ Windbreaker said. His breath was wasted as he kept talking. “ YES! “ Jadekinse replied shortly. “ We need to pick up the pace! “ The two wolves boosted their speed. The bushes yawned in front of them. Jadekinse braked her body on the grass, then Windbreaker fell face first from a bush.
“ Guys! “ Ronnie trotted towards them.
“ That was fast. Harper said you can’t run Jade. “ tattled Donna, she turned around and already saw Harper glared at her. Jadekinse walked towards the cavern and so did the others after her.
“ Did you…Guys get your ideas ready? It better be good so we can escape this dang continent.." She sat down heavily. " None of us know how to build. " Pointed Ronnie. Jadekinse was heavily disappointed.
“ WHAT!? " Her jaw opened. '' Oh wow, I guess we CAN'T escape this continent for peace, am I RIGHT!? " She mocked. She sighed and pulled the wooden board in the front and grabbed a white granite rock." Well…we're gonna have to make a new plan! " She looked down and muttered some plans to herself quietly.
“ Alright, We’re gonna have to do this, plan. “ She began to draw a circle with lines horizontally and vertically. “ So, this...Circle..Is..Uhm..Our…. — Raft! –“ She said. “ A circle?! “ Ronnie exclaimed. “ Hey! I'm not fully finished! Anyways — “ She turned facing the board. She erased the drawing. “ This is gonna be our raft! “ She drew a whole pirate ship. The wolf's jaws dropped at the same time in disbelief. “ WHAT?!” Donna exclaimed. “ How are we going to build that?!” Harper pointed. Jadekinse rolled her eyes sarcastically. “ Well, it’s easy, I have a ton of wood planks at camp and we could probably use that for our boat. “ She concluded. “ Since when have you had wood planks? “ questioned Ronnie. Jadekinse threw a rock at her and fell Ronnie. “ She gets on my nerves. “ Muttered Jadekinse. “ Anyways, We’ll need screws, hammers, and… — something that can shield us from rain and storms! “ Jadekinse stated. She looked at the lazy wolves. Harper flicked her tail as she mistakenly heard her. “ Wait, build sheep on our boat?.” “ No dum-dum. We need supplies! “ Jadekinse answered. Jadekinse face palmed.
“ Alright, I’ll recap, heads up everyone look at me! '' Jadekinse clapped her paws to get everyone’s attention. '' W-what? '' Windbreaker said. '' Wind, you're finally awake! '' Jadekinse chimed. Ronnie tried to stabilize her body until she saw Jadekinse. '' YOU STUPI-” Jadekinse threw another rock at her. “ Alright. Eyes? “ She looked at everyone, even dead Ronnie. “ Okay, “ Donna began to fall asleep. Jadekinse threw a big rock at her neck. “ OW!” “ WAKE UP YALL, IF WE WANT TO ESCAPE FOR PEACE AND FULFILL THIS PROPHECY THEN WAKE UP! '' Exclaimed Jadekinse. All of the wolf's eyes widened. “ Okay geez. `` Harper retreated. “ Back-in-the-now, “ She pointed her stick at the board. 120Please respect copyright.PENANAfIZASHElYU
Fading away from the cavern, the wolves stubbornly began to talk about Jadekinse’s plan. Hoping it would go well for her and so the others. Few days passed, and mornings to the cavern for plans and tryouts within practice.
“ Did any of you listen to the plan? “ Jadekinse said. She glared at everyone slowly. “ yEs..” Ronnie said woozying. “ Probably.” Donna said. “ No-yes.” Harper muttered.
A silence fell. Jadekinse looked at Windbreaker, waiting for a response. Windbreaker sighed, “ Fine, I'm in. “ Jadekinse’s ears perked up. “ But I don’t want to be the only boy in this group, okay? “ The girls shrugged. “ K, I mean, we have too many girls here anyways. “ Harper insisted. Jadekinse rolled her eyes. 9
“ Alright fine, we’ll get another wolf tomorrow, and we GOTTA FINISH THIS PLAN AND ESCAPE! “ Jadekinse reminded me loudly. “ Okay yell-y-dingdong. “ Ronnie mocked. Jadekinse gave her that wanted-to-throw-more than just rocks glare. “ Dismiss this meeting. '' Jadekinse announced. “ Probably gonna get worse once we meet every time!“ Donna chimed, her sentence faded as she sprinted through the hedges to her jungle.
Jadekinse felt like a disappointment to everyone. Yelling at them like a strict teacher, and throwing hard rocks at them when they weren’t listening. I mean, that's one way to give them a punishment. She thought. Windbreaker came by her. “ Hey Jade, you had a rough day today, let's go back home. “ He confronted her. The two wolves sprinted back home. As the doors automatically yawned open, Sakura was right in front of them.

“ Where have you guys been? “ Sakura questioned, the two looked at eachother. “ Uhm..” “ It's been more than 4 hours. Care to explain? “ Sakura offered, she sat down, waiting for one to explain. Jadekinse nudged him, and Windbreaker nudged her back for the sacrifice. Jadekinse bared her teeth at him.
He knew she was more rebellious than he was anyways.“ We-were — uhhh..” He muttered. “ Or wait, were you two gone yesterday? “ Sakura stated. “ Giving you, “ Her head darted at Jadekinse. “ to ex — plain. “ Jadekinse wasn’t scared and took a deep breath.
“ Alright, “ Windbreaker looked at her, shaking his head and lip-syncing “ don't do it!” constantly at her. She rolled her eyes and began to continue. “ We are planning to escape this continent for peace. “ Said Jadekinse, Windbreaker face-palmed.
“ Escaping? But we already have peace here? Why leave? And where? Furthermore please. “ Sakura said.
Jadekinse started, “ Me and Windbreaker, and some other wolves- “ “ Wait other wolves? "" You're escaping with other wolves for peace?! “ Sakura flicked her tail.
“ YES! Isn’t that what you, and our pack, wants? Peace! “ Jadekinse leaned into Sakura. “ Well, isn't that so interesting.. The prophecy does say, ‘ peace is chosen by your decisions. ‘ Sakura sighed, “ We’re in. “ She agreed, Jadekinse looked confused.
“ We’re? Who’s- “
“ Our pack?..” Sakura reminded her. Jadekinse ears perked up happily. She looked at Windbreaker, but he was already asleep. “ Asleep already? “ She sighed and dragged his tail to his dorm.

After moonpaw, Jadekinse barely got enough sleep after the conversation she had with Sakura. She trotted down the diorite stairs. Walking to the 6th dorm. She stopped at a curtain vine door. She peaked through, and could see Windbreaker sleeping through the gaps in between, tangled from the vine doors. She walked through the vines.
She nudged his curled, sleeping body. “ Wind, “ She constantly kept nudging him until he was awake. “ Wind, Wind..” She stopped and stepped back and steadied her aim. She jumped on him with a forceful pounce.
“ WIND! “
“ AHH! “ Windbreaker yelped, Jadekinse fell and her body lopsided, colliding to a wall.
“ What was that for?! “ Said Windbreaker,
Jadekinse met his eyes upside down.
“ Well, We are going to escape, no plans, no arguments, “. She thought for a moment, “ Well hopefully not. “ She positioned herself off the wall. Windbreaker glared at her with wide eyes. “ Really? “ He replied back.
“ Yes! I'm tired of having wars and having to be a part of them because everything is just a — PIECE OF TRASH! “ Her tone began to sped up roughly. She sighed and turned around. “ I don’t even know if we’ll make it. Ronnie wants to escape but she probably hates me! And we’ll never make it up together like this! “
It all happened too fast.
" I can't even THINK of what would happen if we didn’t make it! If we stopped in the middle of the ocean! WE’D PROBABLY BE EATEN BY TIGER SHARKS-”
“ STOP TALKING!” Windbreaker declared. Jadekinse paused, turned her head around. “ WE need to escape, so do I! We need peace, yes I know that! But if we can’t get through this, we might just give up and leave everything behind and face death at some point.” Windbreaker said.
“ No! We aren't giving up! We need to escape this continent for peace! And we should keep doing that! And I think Sakura said the packs are desperate for a break? “ Jadekinse sighed and leaned towards him.
“ You're right, but I want to end my mark here. I can't do this forever y’know, and I don't want to get involved with anything. "said Windbreaker.
“ Well you’re gonna have to get involved if we want peace. And no matter what, we’re and you’re doing it. “ She flicked her tail swiftly.
“ And what exactly are we gonna bring peace to the whole continent? “.
“ Well, about that one….We might as well..Bring the whole..pack?” Jadekinse said. “ We can ...Have Harper as a backup plan? “
“ What backup? “ Questioned Windbreaker. “ We don't need backup, we’re doing this as a team.”
Jadekinse sighed mournfully.
“ Fine. We’ll just have to go back to the cavern and see what the others say.“

CHAPTER. 11
DISCUSSING THE FINALS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxIUueniMjE
At the cavern, the wolves were gaining interest in what Jadekinse and Windbreaker had convinced.
“ Bring the whole continent? Or pack? "said Harper, confused.
“ Well..” Jadekinse started, She looked at Windbreaker for an answer.
Windbreaker halted on licking his paw, and looked at her confused back. “ What? Don’t look at me-”
“ The conversation we had? Yesterday?” She whispered.
“ Oh yeah, that..Uhm ... .I—We’re gonna have to bring the whole continent. “ He said, smiling with his teeth nervously. The wolves were astonished, literally.
“ What?” Said Ronnie “ Oh, don’t do this to me. “ Ronnie shook her head in disbelief. Windbreaker smiled at her.
“ Oh lord. Bring the whole continent? Oh, don’t count me in. “ Harper ended her sentence, walking away into the hollow cavern.
Donna woke up from her sleep, hearing Harper. . “ WHAT?!-”
“ Guys, it's what the whole continent needs. “ Jadekinse said. “ So, we’re gonna have too. Peace, right? “ She looked at everyone then to Windbreaker. He nodded his head still smiling like a creep. “ And don't smile like that, you look like a menace or more.” He stopped smiling mournfully.
“ Kit. “ Called Harper.
“ So what? — do we have to bring the whole continent for peace? “ Ronnie said.
“ Well, what do you think? “ Jadekinse replied.
Donna and Ronnie were shocked. “ Actually?..” Donna said. Her paws pressed on her head.
“ YES Donna! The whole continent is begging for peace. And so is the Claws Of Paws. “
“ The prophecy? I thought they wanted us to continue the war. “ Ronnie gestured. Donna argued, “ No! Did the Claws Of Paws ever say that? We aren’t that brutal now… are we?- “ Windbreaker nodded. “ Hm. So they did say that. I never saw it on the scroll though. “ Jadekinse said.
Windbreaker and Ronnie turned their backs, seeing Harper turning red. “ Is Harper about to blow? -”
“ GUYS— CAN WE JUST GET THIS THING GOING?“ Harper exclaimed. Her redness faded out of her body, breathing heavily after. The brightness steaming red from her fur slowly faded back, soothing her. “ I don't want to bring the whole continent to the otherside just for peace! How about we—merge the islands together or something, so the continent we’re going to, can like—make a truce — I don’t know! “ The wolves all looked shocked. Windbreaker kept doing his menacing smile like he agreed to such a catastrophic plan.
“ And how do we merge the continents together for peace exactly? “ Jadekinse questioned. '' It's not magically gonna work y’know. “
Harper flicked her tail at her. “ I know that, dumb face.”
She scoffed.
“ Lets just bring your whole pack instead. “ Ronnie insisted. “ The whole continent’s begging for peace, — we know that. — But only your pack, Jadekinse. I don't think the others would care for such a protest.” The wolves agreed. Harper agreed, but only wanted to bring half of the pack.
“ Half please. “ Harper added. “ Wait, how many wolves are in the Moon Pack? “
“ About twenty to thirty. Kinda big but I'd say twenty-four. Jadekinse looked over at Windbreaker for his response. “ Oh — uh — twenty! “
Ronnie glared, squinted her eyes at Harper.
“ Why do you want to bring half of the pack?..Is it because your — lazy?~ “ She said in a romantic, eye-catching tone. Ronnie’s coat began to shift into a vibrant sunset color. Harper grunted.
“ Well, kinda. “ She said. She played with her cobblestone rocks, carving them into random shapes and sculptures with her sharp claws.
Jadekinse sighed and she took her stick. “ Alright wolves. I’ve made my decision, and we are gonna bring half of the pack. “ Ronnie face-palmed disappointingly. “ I'm also with Harper, because I'm also lazy. And the fact we’re doing all of this, just seems like somewhat a waste of time.We’ll all gather tomorrow at Dawnpaw for the actual setup. “ Jadekinse announced. The wolves all exited out of the cavern. Leaving Jadekinse and Windbreaker behind.
Windbreaker looked at her. “ So…–” Jadekinse grabbed his tail by the mouth, sprinting and dragging him along the grassy floor heading to the palace. Windbreaker winced. His belly was burning like pelts of fur were coming off. “HELP!!! “ He unsheathe his claws, gripping at the floor for brake.
With the speed of a cheetah, the 2 wolves aggressively got home, Jadekinse steered herself to stop, but threw Windbreaker slam at the door with a loud bang. Windbreaker’s corpse steered the ground. Jadekinse inspected his corpse seeing if he was dead or not.
“ I think I killed him. “ She muttered. The doors snapped open. Inside was Sakura. With a disappointed glare.

NOTHING IS REAL.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAOdyEvsMUNO
Sakura saw Windbreaker, flat on the ground looking dead.
“ What on paws happened? “ She said. Jadekinse nudged his body, hoping for a second life. The blueish gray wolf struggled to get up. Jadekinse sighed in relief.
“ Why did I– DID YOU SLAM HIM AGAINST THE DOORS?! “ Sakura exclaimed.
“ Maybe? —”
“ SHE DID IT – WAS HORRIBLE! “ Windbreaker replied traumatized.
Sakura stepped forward to Jadekinse. She flicked her tail with a pause.
“ This is the last time for Jadekinse. If he gets hurt or anything weird or ‘for peace happens’ you're gone. For good. Our pack thinks that you might be a traitor to our pack, or working with our enemies. “ Sakura said. “ And there's no such thing as a peace protest you're working with.
Jadekinse looked wrong with the phrase — ‘ working with our enemies. ‘ “ Working with your enemies? “
“ Our. “
“ We wouldn’t work with enemies! We’re just trying to gain peace for this continent and the other continent! “ Jadekinse pinned her ears.
Sakura swept her tail and put her paws onto Jadekinse’s. “ Jade, I know it's hard to gain peace. Your mother told you those stories, right? The Outside? “ She took a long sigh. “ Stories aren’t real. Well some, but The Outside is just a made-up story. And I know, it is. Your mother told me all about the story, ever since you were just a pup. She only told you just because it was your bedtime story, told you everyday at night. Now it's time to move on. We already have peace. There is no such thing as another continent — we are the only one. “ She grabbed Jadekinse’s paws and held it close toward her.
Jadekinse was shocked. Her mind began to race with such unbelievable questions.
It wasn’t true? Is The Outside not real? Peace is already here on this continent? But then she flashbacked to the prophecy. Escaping for peace is chosen by your decisions.
Jadekinse’s ears perked up with thoughts. She saw Sakura already walking to her den. “ Wait! Sakura! “ She called. “ The prophecy! Doesn’t the prophecy say ‘ escaping for peace is chosen by your decisions? ‘ “ She stated. Sakura turned around and glared at her. She sighed,
“ We’ll talk about this tomorrow, but peace is already here in our continent. There is no need to worry about looking for peace on “another continent" and persuading us to “join that place.” “ She said.
Jadekinse looked wrong when Sakura said that. “ You don’t understand! Doesn’t the prophecy – “
“ Nothing is real. “

OWNED BY THE DEVILRY
120Please respect copyright.PENANAKg7yXhfKHN
Sakura walked away from Jadekinse, “ Now, I should have assigned patrols this morning, but your conversation wasted my time. “ She scoffed, trotting off straight into her bedroom dorm.
Jadekinse glared at her paw from one to the other. Then for a moment, she realized it wasn’t this quiet. And she never heard his voice. She flinched up, scanning the palace for the blue-gray wolf.
She sat up and pondered around the sleeping palace. “ Where is he? “ She looked at the dorms, spotted Dorm 616. She trotted over there, thinking he was in bed.
She peeked through the vines, he wasn’t there. A loud clatter echoed from the upper three floors. She perked her ears to the following noise. She went after the noise, up the diorite staircases, she found an empty, small tin can. She inspected it and it was closer to Dorm 902. She peeked through the vines to see the victim, but they weren’t there.
Agitation raced through her body. Wind blowing her agitated corpse. She was frightened. She looked up to the floors ahead. She felt like she was hallucinating an endless floor of dorms. More clattering noise caught her attention forward. More clattering noises collapsed together, more and more, closer as everything was swarming with pitch darkness to swallow her.
Faster than a heartbeat, she steered around and raced down the staircases and down to the capital. The darkness stained the environment's purple veins as it chased Jadekinse down to the capital. She braked her feet and sprinted straight towards Sakura’s bedroom. She saw the fabric of the curtains, already knowing it won't prevent it from bursting in. It was hope.
Jadekinse grabbed the pink fabric curtains and shut them aggressively. Sakura slowly woke up, rose up from her nest. seeing the green wolf trembling in fear.
The den she had entered too was Sakura’s den.
She paused for a moment scanning her body.
“ What happened? Are you okay? “ She questioned. Jadekinse heard her voice, she felt safer, but still scared.
“ The darkness..It was following me! “ Jadekinse grabbed Sakura’s chest close to her with wide eyes.
“ What darkness?! Get out of my room! It's late!“ She ordered, pushing Jadekinse away.
Sakura struck free, blowing each other aside. Jadekinse looked at her paws defensively. She glared at Sakura with caution.
Jadekinse paused for a moment. She shook her head and arched her back down to the floor and collapsed. Sakura stepped back, as if she was going to transform into a monster. After a few shakes, Jadekinse felt unreal.
“ What happened? W-why am I here?” She delved around, spotted Sakura with her shell-pink fur striking up frightened.
“ You're startling me, and you're possessing sentences, Jadekinse. “ She tapped her shoulder to make sure she is positively okay. “ And you should be asleep — You're the only wolf out here awake. Don’t complain to me like a pup and say you're desperately tired. “ Sakura gave a ‘go-back- to-your-dorm’ paw gesture.
Jadekinse gave Sakura a fleeting look then sauntered off to her dorm in appalled.

CHAPTER. 14
INCREASING THE PROCESS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAI1txoCUdK3
Last scene when Jadekinse went crazy. She followed a clattering noise from the upper levels. She sauntered the following noise. With a brief pause, she felt the stab of agitation.
Jadekinse looked up to the ten upper levels that were ahead, stopping at the palace. Suddenly, pitch black fog raced down the upper levels, swallowing it with a peek of purple veins swathing long objects.
She realized it was coming after her. Jadekinse raced down the staircases and steered her paws, invading Sakura’s bedroom dorm. Jadekinse had ululated to Sakura about darkness swarming the palace in her vision.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfYSvQNjFdb
It was Sunpaw, a foggy morning. In Dorm 723, Jadekinse barely got enough sleep, after constantly reminiscing about what happened yesterday. She kept having flashbacks of the darkness that swallowed every level of the palace.
She had answers to all the questions and to her tapestries. But it never worked. It was like figuring out which key goes into the right hole. She didn't want to tell anyone. She was just afraid that it might happen again. Hopefully not in public.
She played with her claws, thinking about the darkness.
She shot her head up. She had to stay on task. All she could think of was peace and how to achieve it everytime. She'd be the first wolf to achieve the legendary word — peace. Jadekinse got off her bed and trotted down to the level to stop at Dorm 616.
Like always, she peeked through the gaps of the vines. She could see pieces of Windbreaker sleeping.
She entered the room, tapping him constantly on the back. But this time, she poked him with her claws. A heavy sleeper wouldn't wake up like this. She spotted a pillow next to a desk, she grabbed a random pillow near the desk and chucked it at him aggressively.
Windbreaker shot up. He shook his furry head. His appalled gaze darted toward Jadekinse, she gave him a lying grin.
She grunted. “ Wake up sleepy head, we gotta do the plans again. I'm pretty sure the wolves are wondering why we haven't set up plans at the cavern for awhile. “ She nudged his shoulder.
Windbreaker groaned, “ Ugh, I'm tired! “ He complained. “ And don't hit me with a pillow! “ He squinted his face at her. She scoffed.
Jadekinse grabbed one of his pillows, with another layer. His head collapsed down. “ Come on! It's what the clan needs! And so do we! “ She chuckled. Pawing his face. She immediately kept getting flashes of the darkness. She shook her head to escape the tapestries of the darkness.
Windbreaker yawned, he gave her a retreat look. “ Fine, but WE better, get a new male wolf! I don't want to be the only male in the group. “ Jadekinse scoffed.
She gestured her head up. Windbreaker got off his bed and followed her to the palace and to the cavern.
The two wolves sprinted through the woodlands. Taking turns to the correct paths. As soon as they got there, a red body was laying flat on the ground.

INJURED OCCURRENCE
Jadekinse and Windbreaker inspected the body appallingly.
“ Harper? “ Windbreaker called. Of course no response came from her. He nudged her shoulder.
Jadekinse heard ruffling noises. She darted her right, there came Ronnie and Donna. Jadekinse titled her head towards the red body. The two wolves immediately darted there.
The Wolves inspected her. Harper flicked her tail. Jadekinse stepped back and so did the wolves. Harper struggled to get up. With a struggle of injury, Ronnie spotted her left arm was injured.
“ Her arm!” Ronnie cried. Scars leaking with streaks of blood. And claw marks clawed sharply mostly around her arm. Jadekinse pinned her ears.
“ Who could have done this?! “ She exclaimed. Harper winced at her for help. “ It couldn't be any of us! All of us were at home! “
“ But we first saw her at the cavern, do you think she might have been ambushed?” Windbreaker insisted, Donna already leaping out to get resources for injuries. Harper winced even more. She took out her injured arm.
“ HELP ME WOLVES! “ Exclaimed Harper, the wolves look confused on what to do with her. Donna bursted from the bushes, carrying a wooden case with a painted red plus on the middle cover.
She set the case down and lifted the cover up, inside was small rainbow berries, preserved purple juice, thick woolen bandages, and short flexible vines for ties.
The Wolves looked interested. Donna grabbed the woolen bandages with her mouth, and sprinkled the purple juice on the bandage, she grabbed the green vines and tied the bow ties around the bandages, keeping it stable. Harper winced at the pain.
Windbreaker silently clapped for her. Donna nodded her head at him. Jadekinse inspected the bushes for any more suspicions or noise.
Harper laid her head down. “ Is she okay?” Ronnie asked.
“ She has a huge injury that our clan barely knows how to solve. We might need to take her to the Sea Pack. They're the ones who know how to solve huge injuries like this.
Ronnie tilted her head. “ I thought we were the ones who can solve huge injuries?” She Insisted.
“ Well not exactly huge injuries. “ Donna said. She looked at the case. “ Maybe..”
Jadekinse snarled quietly at Donna, “ We don’t have much time! We need to go to the other continent, ASAP, or we’ll have to be stuck with wars and random ceremonies. “ She stated. “ We’ll bring Harper to the Seawolves later, right now, peace is important —
“ Stop trying to say peace! “ Argued Donna. Jadekinse gave her a low growl. “ Peace is important, but we can't do this without Harper! “ Harper looked at Jadekinse worryingly.
Ronnie nodded her head at Donna. “ Yeah! We can do the peace thing once we’re ready. And you, “ She glared at Jadekinse. “ Keep throwing rocks at me! “ Ronnie grabbed a pebble and threw it at her. Jadekinse snarled.
Windbreaker looked worried, switching from side to side as the wolves argued if to save Harper or not. Windbreaker left no choice but to agree with Ronnie and Donna. Jadekinse looked over at him for backup. So did Ronnie and Donna.
He sighed mournfully. “ I’ll have to go with Ronnie and Donna. '' Jadekinse gave him an offended look. “ We can’t lose another member! It's been like 2 months since we've ever been a group together! We can’t lose progress without her! “ He tucked his tail under timidly. Jadekinse rolled her eyes.
“ Fine. You guys won, but the Sea Pack won’t accept us. “ She said.
Ronnie flicked her tail. “ We could try to persuade them?. Or convince them we are..making peace? “ Ronnie said.
Jadekinse gave her a confuzzled look. “ What? The Sea Pack mostly hates all the packs! “
Donna chuckled, “ No silly! That's the Inferno Pack. “ Jadekinse rolled her eyes. “ Well, alright. We’ll bring Harper to the Seawolves, “ She looked over at Ronnie. “ Ronnie, you try to persuade them that we are escaping for..peace..Something. “ She glared down at Harper mournfully. “ Will you be able to survive once we get there? “ Harper nodded slowly at her.
Windbreaker tapped Jadekinse’s right shoulder. “ But Sakura won’t be happy once we come back. '' Jadekinse looked at him with a low smile.
“ It's for the good. “

CHAPTER. 16
APPROACHING THE BLUE BOUNDARIES
120Please respect copyright.PENANAXkouEg6dK1
The wolves traveled through many woodlands. None of them had everseen the Sea Pack before. The group needed to save Harper from the bad injury. The cure Donna put on Harper, still won't help.
The group walked and walked. Not knowing where they’re going. Jadekinse panting. “ im..not gonna last long because of Harper.. “ She cried, losing her balance. Harper whined.
Ronnie scanned the forest for any suspicions. She could hear the treetops truffle, but it was all just crows navigating to they’re destination.
“ How long is this walk? I'm exhausted and thirsty. “ Windbreaker said. He scanned the forest for any nearby lakes.
Donna sighed, “ We're all exhausted and thirsty. Let's take a quick break. “ She sat down and so did the wolves.
Jadekinse plopped down, dropping Harper sideways. “ I'm in pain..” squealed Harper. She tried to lift her paws into a stretch, trying to avoid her injured arm.
Windbreaker scanned for nearby lakes, he saw blue, he squinted his eyes to see. “ Guys! I think I see water! “ He reported. The wolves darted their heads to his voice.
“ Wolves, let's go. Jadekinse said she ducked under Harper, sliding her onto her back. The wolves navigated to the lake as they entered the verdant flocculent forest.
Windbreaker's eyesight could see the blue coming in closer as he continued walking. He relocated his legs and arms and sprinted. As he ran, he tripped over a small twig, and splash, the upcoming wolves were wet.
“ WIND! “ Jadekinse was soaking wet, she shook herself. Her dark green coat smudged into her primary.
Windbreaker poked his head out of the lake. “ Hey, at least you guys..Are wet! And..Clean?.. “ He encouraged her.
Ronnie glared at him and the lake. She looked over to her left, Donna darted to the lake and jumped in with him.
The water splash splashed onto her and Jadekinse. “ What a— shame. “ Ronnie scoffed. She looked at Jadekinse, wet and angry buffalo.
As the splashing continued, Jadekinse was already frustrated and stressed of her wet fur. “ ARRGH, come on wolves—let's GO ALREADY! “ She stated angrily, she stomped back and carried Harper onto her back.
The wolves walked, and got out of the lake mournfully.
“ We never get to have any fun. Donna whispered to Windbreaker.
“ I know. I can't believe we're comrades with her. “ He sarcastically replied back.
“ Was that sarcasm?” She pointed out.
“Uhh…”
Ronnie gestured a quiet sign at them.
As the group continued, Jadekinse found a seawolf scent. She heard bushes crackling around her and the wolves.
Jadekinse hunched her back up like a cat. “ Guys, stay back! “ Her eyes went up in an alert gesture.
The wolves could spot blue, dashing across the bushes around them.
Ronnie stepped back, bumping into a bush. She quickly turned around faster than a heartbeat.
Something grabbed her lower leg. She yelped and shook it off. “ something just grabbed my leg! “ She reported. The group suspected even more about their surroundings.
Jadekinse looked to her left and walked closer to the bush, she waited for the blue to come by.

CHAPTER. 17
SEEKING THE BLUE
120Please respect copyright.PENANAjE8Uqucu0w
Snatch.
She got the wolf’s tail. She pulled the wolf out from the bush, the wolf was growling and tried to wiggle free. The group pinned their limbs down.
The wolves let go as they got the wolf to the flat surface, the blue wolf was a phantom blue, dark cyan leg stripes with a black tail tip and ears.
She turned around immediately, facing Jadekinse first.
She unsheathed her claws. “ INTRUDER! “ she barked. She went forward into the bush trying to escape, but Jadekinse grabbed her tail again and pulled her out.
“ STOP PULLING ME OUT! “ she snarled up close to Jadekinse, “ you wolves are MURDERERS! “ she threatened as she tried to escape again.
Jadekinse snarled back. “ Look! We need your help! “ She called. The wolf turned around and gave her a confuzzled look.
“ What?
“ We need you to cure our friend! “ Jadekinse tipped her back, sliding Harper down to the surface. Harper looked like her insides were empty, and all the energy had been drained by bloodworms. “ She's injured! “ She showed her bandaged arm.
The wolf glared. “ Why would I help you? You can cure her yourself and your crew. Besides, she already has a bandage, stupid. “ She snarled, Hunching her back and flicking her tail.
Ronnie was offended when she heard the word stupid. She gave the wolf a low growl.
The dark blue wolf slightly tipped her head down.
“ Fine, I'll help you cure your wolf. “ Somehow Donna saw she wasn't shocked that Harper was an Inferno wolf.
“ Even though she's an Inferno wolf, the pack will never accept her. “ She flicked her claws. “ So you might as well disguise your wolf scent into our scent. “ She required it. “ By the way—tell me your names. So I can get to know you all. “
“ We are on an important mission of finding peace and finding what's beyond Pyradonna. “ said Jadekinse.
The wolf stopped flicking her claws, “ What do you mean? Peace is already installed in our continent. And there's nothing special about this continent. “ She replied sterningly.
“ You don't understand, the prophecy says that ‘peace is chosen by your decisions’. and we're thinking that peace is on another continent and this one isn't safe. “ She'd persuade her. “ We want to stop wars — right? So might as well leave and go to a new one? “ Her thoughts ran down her like streams of stupidness and guilt.
The wolf tilted her head. “ Ridiculous. Well, the name’s Lubee. “ The phantom dark wolf reached her paw out to Jadekinse.
A seawolf greeting me? She thought. Might as well introduce myself too.
“ Uhh..Jadekinse. “ She grabbed her paw and shook it. She turned around for the group to introduce themselves.
“ Donna!”
“Ronnie.”
“ Windbreaker.”
Harper would struggle to lift her head up in sight. “ Harper…”
Lubee gave them an interested look. “ Interesting, two syllable names. Jade—Kinse. “ she'd said in a slick tone.
Jadekinse felt uncomfortable.
Lubee spotted her uncomfortness. “ Oh, sorry to make you uncomfortable, it's— just rare to have a two syllable name. “
Lubee turned around facing the bush. “ C’mon, we oughta get your friend healed. —Oh wait, change your scent first. Just go to a lake and you'll be fine.” She said,
The wolves dashed to their right, going back to the lake they had been. They jumped in the lake one by one. Windbreaker popped his head out of the lake, giving Ronnie a ‘go in.’ gesture. Ronnie sighed and slowly stepped in.
As the wolves were soak and wet, they all smelled like chlorine. The wolves left the lake, tracing the path where they had been.
They pushed through the thick bushes, leading to Lubee. Lubee chirped with a slight grin.
“ You guys smell like chlorine, which is fine, but—I recommend you be careful, because we had a traitor named Chlorine and he smelled like chlorine. “ Lubee chirped again and the wolves followed her to the camp.

CHAPTER. 18
HEALING WOUNDS WEREN'T MEANT TO BE.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfBDWFjCgHV
The group was halfway there to the mouth of the door. As soon they got there, Lubee pressed open the left door. She swept aside for the group to enter first.
With a bright light, they were blinded. As soon they started blinking,
The room lights reflected off the glass floor and the stairs that curved and axiated around the pole in the middle all the way up to the top floor. Stairs were made originally of smooth onyx and amethyst, some obsidian depending on the room theme.
They didn’t have windows on some floors, it was like an aquarium on the ground floor. The viewing panels had frames that lined each sharp curve with gold, looping each length of a panel to the otherside, embedding the walls. Gold stained glass also embedded above the windows and showed fish and sharks, basically their prey in an aquarium tank.
Jadekinse’s eyes were surprised and glorious. She has never seen something this beautiful in decades.
Lubee got in her way. “ Hey, go behind those bushes! “ She pointed behind the wolves.
They darted behind the boundary of hedge bushes that weren’t closely against the panels. They began to crawl between the gaps the more Lubee pondered to her destination.
Lubee glared at the wolves. “ Be careful, your scent is like ours but not exactly. Stay in the bushes so you can hide your scent and appearance. I’ll go get
120Please respect copyright.PENANAVPj1Owbdp5
She sprinted upstairs.
Jadekinse was still surprised about how beautiful their camp was. She couldn't get her eyes off. She continued observing the camp. The bushes covered most of the appearance. So she couldn't see much.
“ Isn't the camp beautiful guys?” Said Jadekinse.
“ It is. “ Agreed Windbreaker.
Lubee came downstairs sharply. She chirped at the wolves, the wolves guessing they needed to come, but it was barely crowded, so they darted toward her immediately.
Lubee and the wolves went after her, entering the mouth of the sanatorium just right on the side.
It was decorated with an autumn leaf tiara on top, and edged with an autumn leaf archway.
Inside the sanatorium were four moss bed nests, two placed on the upper left. One had a patient. A smoothly-carved quartz countertop and an obsidian bottom.
The wolves immediately ducked behind the moss nest beds. They were behind a patient. The wolf was resting on their arms. So it was a good hiding.
Jadekinse saw there was no patient ahead. So she had to plan a strategy in her head.
Ronnie was in the last, she was in a tiny spot, but still could fit except half of her tail was exposing.
“ Guys, scootch over! “ She ordered, the wolves shifted up.
They spotted Lubee and the Medic talking. The Medic was a sky blue coat, and her secondary coat was a dark cyan streak going across underneath her tail. She had face markings like a panda the same color as her secondary. She also had white ear tips and white ear tufts. But Jadekinse couldn't hear if the Medic was speaking English.
The wolf was caring almost like the medkit Donna found, but more materialized.
Lubee glanced at them, she chirped, and the Medic went away to her counter. It's like she ended the conversation with that chirp. Was it a seawolf gesture? Or is she taken as a held role?
The wolves got up from their spots. The Medic gasped, seeing the five.
“What?” Windbreaker said.
Jadekinse dragged Harper and settled her on the counter.
The Medic was shocked, but was also glad she had work to do.
“ 最后,工作。谢谢你亲爱的。” The Medic said in a weird language that didn’t even sound like a language. Jadekinse was confused by her accent and the way it was pronounced.
Lubee whispered to Jadekinse, translating the sentence.
“ Finally work, thank you darling. “ She translated.
“ The medic’s name is in a rare language called Chinese. Uhh.. — Zhénshî tái ( GEN-SHE-TAI) which is Makoyatta. She's a friend of mine and has a special sense that she can feel the victim of wounds. “ Lubee ended with a chuckle.
Jadekinse turned around, seeing Makoyatta inspecting Harper's injured arm.
“ 那么,这是怎么回事呢?她看起来很好,但我猜绷带暴露了一些空气。亲爱的。” Said Makoyatta.
“ Uhh..-”
“ So, what's the matter here? She looks fine but I'm guessing the bandage is exposing a bit of air. Darling.” Lubee translated.
Donna went up to Lubee. “ Why is she calling her darling?” Lubee shrugged.
Makoyatta bent down and opened shelves on the counter.
“ 我们需要一些欧蓍草。但我们的水平很低,所以希望它能奏效。”
Jadekinse face palmed. “ HOW are we supposed to communicate with her, a weird language called, — Shin-eese?”
“ Chinese. Lubee corrected.
“ Just translate it for me!”
“ We need some yarrow, but we're low so hope it works. “
Ronnie tilted her head. “ What’s yarrow?”
Makoyatta gave her a confused glare. “ 你们也是这附近的吗?” She questioned. She took out the bandage and inserted the yarrow on Harper's arm. Makoyatta looked at Lubee.
Lubee flicked her claws and fixed her gaze to Makoyatta. “ They are not around here, but they are friendly and willing to scavenge for peace. “
Makoyatta paused on her wrapping. “ 不在附近吗?”
“ Yes, not from around here, like I said, they're willing to scavenge peace. “ repeated Lubee.
The wolves were interested in how their conversation was produced.
Jadekinse tapped Lubee on the shoulder. “ How do you understand this? It sounds like total gibberish. “ She questioned.
Makoyatta opened the yarrow making a hole, she inspected the sharp wound. “ 这个伤口根本无法检查。”
“ This wound is impeccably impossible to inspect. Lubee translated.
Makoyatta touched the wound. “ 但感觉就像……一种不知名的狼品种。” Makoyatta touched the wound more. Harper whimpered through the irritating pain.
“ 伤口几乎已经深入肉里了。无论这种狼是什么品种,都可能是您计划的一部分。”

CHAPTER. 19
THE AMBUSHER ISN'T A THING?
Lubee's eyes widened. “ What? What do you mean by an unknown wolf breed? 4 clans means peace. There cannot be another clan out there or here. “ The others' eyes widened open.
Makoyatta nodded. “ 我可能有一种预感,这种不知名的狼品种可能是附属于这些狼的计划的。”
Ronnie’s ears raised. “ Another clan? — Impossible! Pyradonna cannot have another pack! “ She paused after.
Lubee looked at Jadekinse. “ She says this unknown wolf breed is part of your plan. '' Jadekinse looked at Makoyatta, continuing the wrapping.
Makoyatta glared back. “ 告诉我这是怎么发生的。”
“ Tell her how it happened. “
Jadekinse pinned her ears down. “ Well.. We all went to our meeting cavern for plans, and we saw Harper.-”
“ 哈珀是谁?”
Lubee pointed at the Inferno wolf.
“ Then we saw her Injured on the ground. We saw how bad the wound was. Donna, “ Jadekinse pointed at the purple-lilac wolf. “ — Went to get a Medic box like yours. “
Makoyatta looked at Harper's wound. “ 所以她是被伏击了?”
Lubee glared at Jadekinse. “ Was she ambushed?”
Jadekinse nodded at Makoyatta.
Makoyatta looked at Harper’s wound again.
“ 我希望这个伤口能够痊愈。这是我遇到过的最远的伤口问题。祝你好运。” She peered her head down mournfully. She gave the wolves a retreat look.
“ She’s willing the yarrow might — cure Harper. Lubee said.
Jadekinse shot her glare from Lubee to Makoyatta, she pinned her ears and nodded her head.

ENTERING THE MAIN
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHrJVMsWtgA
The wolves came to Harper. Makoyatta tried to stabilize her limbs. She let go, and Harper struggled to get up, she trembled a bit, but she managed to stand up.
The wolf's ears perked up. “ Harper! “ They all exclaimed happily. Ronnie came and nudged her nose and surrounded her.
Harper grinned at the wolves. “ I'm glad I'm okay. “ The wolves looked at Makoyatta and nodded their heads at her. “ 当心。在暴风雪或强风期间,西洋蓍草很容易脱落。但祝你好运。” She nodded her head back.
Lubee flicked her claws. Jadekinse looked at her and nodded her head. And so did Lubee.
“ She wishes you guys good luck, but yarrow easily can come off during winter and aggressive wind. “ She reminded her.
Jadekinse nodded her head again, she looked outside, “ I’m glad it's not windy or snowy. “ The wolves exited the sanatorium cautiously. Noone was on the floor with them, nor the ground floor. It must have been a meeting.
The wolves darted down the amethyst steps like a gateway to freedom.
“ We did it! “ Windbreaker said, he spun around with joy, nudging Harper even more. “ We can continue our mission! “ He circled her.
“ Well..I'm not okay..Yet. — I just hope this yarrow doesn't expose to air like the bandage or else my wound will be infected. Makoyatta said it’s only a little bit of yarrow. “
Donna smiled and patted her back. “ We’re just glad you're okay, Harper. “ Her tail wagging.
In front of the group, Jadekinse was still timid. She didn’t like that Makoyatta wolf, even though she pretended to trust her by randomly nodding heads. But what Lubee translated to her, an unknown breed?I also agree with Lubee, 4 clans means peace. But we don’t think that's true.. Is it true that ‘unknown breed ‘ came from another continent? Only to kill all of us?
Jadekinse’s mind was racing with thoughts, it was like a key figuring out which hole goes in.
“ Jade? Are you doing well? “ Windbreaker chimed in, coming up to her and nudging her shoulder. Jadekinse shrugged. “ I don't know, it's just. What does Makoyatta mean by an ‘unknown breed?’ Is it true that ‘unknown breed,’ came from the other continent we are going to? Or even if there’s one? “
Windbreaker’s ears perked up in interest. “ Oh, i—think so. Uhh..That's what’s been going on in my head too. “ His worried glare aimed at the grass. “ I- I think we should go find more information about this. “ His glare fixated on her. She shot him a confused look by the way he sounded.
“ What? “
“ We need to research this unknown breed, bait it, and spectate what its actions are. “ He said.
Jadekinse slightly tilted her ears. “ What do you mean “spectate what its actions are? ,” It’s just an unknown wolf breed. Don’t need to spectate, Wind. “
He sighed, “ What if it has…Wings? “ Jadekinse looked at him humiliatingly.
She chuckled, “ Wings? Oh, Wind, “ She covered her left paw on her right arm.
Donna stared at those two. “ Are they bonding? Ooo, mates!!! “
Jadekinse and Windbreaker resumed walking. Windbreaker perked his ears up. “ Wait— where are we going? “ He questioned her.
She looked at him perplexingly. “ Oh, uh—home? Or back to the cavern? “ She insisted.
Windbreaker groaned, “ I don’t want to go back home! I want to keep continuing! “
“ We can't or else Sakura is gonna be mad at us, or more, because we haven’t been home for like almost a day! “ she took a deep breath, “ AND, we’ve been in the seawolf territory, which will make our punishment longer. “ She stated, her glance scanned him.
Windbreaker never knew she’d go this far. He kinda knew she always brought up our clan, which made him feel more suspense to his clan.
With a silent trot, Donna came running up to the wolves aside Jadekinse, “ Hey guys! I Just got some news from Harper! She says once we return back to our cavern, that torch we have can heal her wound, which I never knew that torch could cure wounds! “ She reported.
Jadekinse gave her a startled glance. “ Ok..But don’t startle me like that!” She flick her left ear at her. “ And thanks for the news. “
Windbreaker turned around, his glance inspected Harper’s wound briefly. “ Wait! Doesn't exposing bandages cause air to infect wounds? “ He said.
The wolves glared at him. “ What? “
“ Like, bad air can…Expose air, right? “ His glance constantly kept peering over at Harper’s wound.
The wolves joined, turning their heads around, at Harper. She waved at them as she paused, talking to Ronnie.
“ Well...It doesn’t look like her wound is infected by air? “ Donna said.
Windbreaker sighed, “ No! I'm talking about how wounds are timely infected by air! “ He replied.
“ Ohhh. “ Donna said. Her eyes scanned the two wolves from below. “ By the way, are you guys dating? “ She asked.
Jadekinse and Windbreaker gave her a surprised look.
After the talk, the five wolves kept walking until they scavenged their way to the cavern. It was a hard search, but halfway through the search, they just had to try to reverse their trace.
Ronnie groaned. “ WHEN ARE WE GONNA-BE-THERE?! “ She complained. Donna turned around, side eyeing her. “ Hold your horses, just like a minute or two. “
“ Guessing an hour. “ Jadekinse chimed in. She stopped, coming across a jointing, familiar path. The left path’s appearance was a forest. And the right path led to a grassy plain. The two paths looked like they’d lead to an enemy territory. But she didn’t know which one they would result in.
“ Guys, what path do we go to? “ She turned around to the wolves.
Windbreaker looked both ways. “ I say left. Our territory is pretty forestry. “
“ I think our, “ She looked at Ronnie and her rainbow sunset coat. “ Would be the left path.. “ Ronnie nodded. “ Well I'll just take the left anyways. “
Harper yawned tiringly. “ Can I not come with you guys? I'm feeling sleepy, and my territory is the other way around. “ Her glance darted behind her.
Jadekinse scanned her wound and nodded.
“ Sure but,-”
“ She can’t! Her territory is like, filled with smokey, fiery air! And it might even infect her wound- “
“ You realize she’s an inferno wolf right? “ Donna looked at Harper's red and sunset hinted coat with neon orange leg stripes. “ It wont work since she’s fire-
“ Shut it! ‘ Ronnie snarled. “ Let’s just choose the right path and I'll choose the left path. “ She walked to the right path, leaving the group behind without a notice.
Donna snorted, “ Ronnie, “ She looked at the group. “ Just let go Harper and I'll stay with you guys. —”
“ N–no, me and Wind will just…Go home. “ Jadekinse glanced nervously at Windbreaker. The wolves trotted off to their path home.
Windbreaker and Jadekinse returned to their palace. Jadekinse slowly opened the doors to see if Sakura was standing there, but she wasn't.

CHAPTER. 21
AT “LAST”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPUOMJNB8Jc
The two wolves peeked through the doors. “ Coast is clear. “ Jadekinse called, as she darted to her dorm. Windbreaker shrugged and went to his dorm as well.
He entered through his vine doors. He saw his moss bed. Fabric-stuffed feather pillows. And his desk. A little lamp with low piles of stacked papers and history, chemistry books stacked in rows on the shelves above.
“ Just like it was before. And after. “ He’d entered his bed, tucking himself in with his pale blue tail curled around him.
As he was about to fasten his eyes closed, “ WIND WAKE UP! “ Jadekinse bursted through the vine doors. His head popped up, hitting the window counter. “ Ow. Jade! “ He slowly rubbed his paw on his head. Jadekinse chuckled.
“ Sorry! “ She said. “ Uhm.. — Sakura wants to talk with us about leaving the palace… “ She noted. Windbreaker looked at her. “ Talk? “ His mind flashbacked of what happened yesterday, and the fact he met seawolves which were across the line. Talk? With Sakura? We’re in big trouble. We met seawolves. Right in they’re palace! It's all over for us.
“ Jade, it's over for us. I know we're gonna be exiled from the pack. “ Her expression turned worried. “ What do you mean?” She leaned closer.
“ We’ve been gone for 4 days! We haven’t done any of our duties, and you haven’t been trained! I bet your mentor Nightcat has been worried. “ He sat down passively with his head dipped aside.
“ Nightcat? I don’t even like my mentor! We’ve been training slowly and that's the reason why I left the palace. I'm barely ready for important duties. — I bet the Claws Of Paws won't even accept me by this point. “ Her head shifted at the ceiling and stared.
Windbreaker looked at her. “ Jade, don’t think of that! We’re going through so much- “
“ Hurry up you two. We need to talk, remember? “ Sakura entered the dorm, her pink blossomed coat brightened the wolves eyes. The wolves glared at her body and pink eyes. “ What? Come on. “
Half of the other wolf’s sightings tracked Sakura, Jadekinse, and Windbreaker’s movement like owls. She trotted out the dorm and into her den as the wolves behind her followed. Windbreaker ducked his head. He sighed, “ I already know what this is gonna be. “ He predicted. Jadekinse pinned her ears down. “ Same. “ She’d catch all the wolves' eyes with her green coat stained in the sunlight from above. “ In. “ Sakura ordered, the wolves entered one by one as the curtains shut on them.
The wolves sat down, facing Sakura. There was a brief silence.
“ So?...-”
“ I’ve been noticing a lot of… Leaving the palace this morning and afternoon. '' Sakura glared at them “ I gave you two a chance to not leave camp. And you didn’t take it. “ Her pink eyes slowly glowed in the dim darkness.
Jadekinse slightly ducks her head when her eyes glowed.
“ H-how are you doing that? “ Windbreaker asked.
“ Doesn’t matter. “ Sakura replied. “ All I know is that you two have been leaving camp so much with permission. “ She flashes her tail at them. “ And you two have been hanging with other wolves. “ She slowly got up. “ And I believe it's about peace? “ She said eerily. She tipped her head, staring her eyes at them. She smelled an odd, forestry scent coming from their bodies. She leaned her head closer and her nose forward. She sniffed. “ Why do you guys smell like you've been with seawolfs? “ She answered.
The wolves gave her a trembling scared glare at her. Windbreaker put his finger up to his neck, slowly dragging it away. His trembling glance shifted to Jadekinse. “ Jade, we might be more than exiled. '' Jadekinse looked at him back. “ What do you mean?” She muttered.
Sakura gave them an inpatient look. “ Are you done yet?” Her vicious glance looked at Windbreaker. “ About being exiled from you two. I just might put you two in the Prison oubliette. “ She flicked her tail, leaving her bedroom leaving Jadekinse and Windbreaker behind.
“ And Nightcat's been waiting for you, Jadekinse, you have a lot of training sessions too, and it will be more than a moon. '' Sakura reminded her. She paused her body and rotated her head at Windbreaker. “ And you better be careful. “ She resumed walking out of her bedroom.
The wolves tucked in their tails timidly. They would have been executed if they hadn't been so defensive like when they met Lubee. So protective, so fierce. If they hadn't shown their gestures at that wolf, it would be blood and one remains.
The pale clouds merged and swept from area to area. The sun invaded Windbreaker’s open window, staining the desk, floors and objects, with a radiant gold yellow. Slowly shifting away, until it reached the window outlines. Windbreaker constantly shuffled in his sleep. He pushed his leg out of his tail.
Cold.
He laid on his back
Hot.
It was like a changing-volcano in his dorm. He grunted, and he dragged his moss bed off his smooth quartz “ mattress.” Then, he laid his body, curling himself into a ball.
Eyes shut. It was much better when his limbs touched the smooth, cold “mattress.”. Faster than a heartbeat, the mattress had already been hot.
“ When is this ever gonna end?” He dragged his moss bed onto the mattress. He jumped on it and curled himself into a ball, attempting for it to be cold. Then a second, it was hot. He thought his body was just hot from the sun. Then he thought of something.
He thought, and thought, his ear perked up, he thought of his name. Wind. All he needed was wind. But not cold wind. Just perfect wind.
But it was sunny and hot outside. How would he get the perfect wind into his dorm forming? He inspected the room for ideas. Nothing came to his mind. It was just a modern dorm. Nothing to create. Most of the objects were just stolen books from the library and a medium amount of stacked papers. The more he thought, the more his body stained with blazing heat from the sun.
He sighed. He felt like he was melting and decomposing the more he just stood there in front of the sun. He turned around and left his dorm.
Down the stairs, at the center. Wolves were talking, and chatting like usual. He saw the lounge dorm. It was semi-covered and taped with vines. The place looked empty and boldly dark in there. So dark he felt like he had the urge to go in and investigate. Then something tapped his back.
He turned around, seeing a huge black wolf.
“ Shadecrow?” His glance slowly turned frightened after what he did at the meeting.
“ What's good? “ He greeted him with a slim smirk. And a wink. His deep voice made Windbreaker even more scared. “ I heard you and that green wolf have been searching for peace?” He inspected the palace. “ But I know it's not illegal.“
“ Wait — what?” Windbreaker said. Shadecrow looked at him like he wasn't paying attention. “ Nothing. “ He said.
The huge black wolf turned around, looking for someone or something. He walked away from Windbreaker. Windbreaker saw that he was walking towards Nightcat. Which looked like he was in need of a “ friend. “
Windbreaker paused, and scanned the palace. It was odd without a green spot in the center. That reminded him, “ Where's Jadekinse? “ He flickered his tail, he walked around camp like a tuna fish.
Wolves stared at him irritatingly.

CHAPTER. 22
AN ODD SYMBOL FROM A FORBIDDEN PLACE.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8mDZK1TUZx
C & A.
Jadekinse was always wondering what it meant. Her inspecting glance constantly scanned the symbol above the library. She observes that wolves don't come to the library very often and hears it's losing business.
But it never stopped her from wondering.
It was like a myth to her ever since she was a pup and today. Every time she walked by with her “ parents, “ the librarians always changed wolves each day. And Jadekinse always guessed, was it even a part of they’re schedule? And she always felt like wolves were missing every time a new librarian shows. Was there a killer circling the palace? Taking and nonliving wolves? Or was it a part of the schedule?
“ It would be very odd if it was a part of the schedule. But why? “ Jadekinse heard approaching pawsteps coming from the stairs behind here. She turned around immediately and saw Windbreaker. “ Where have you been?! “ He said. He looked at the library and spotted C & A.
“ What's all of this? “ His glance inspecting the dark, closed library. “ It looks like the lounge room. Is it closed? “ He asked.
Jadekinse turned her head at him. “ I guess. — Maybe it's in need of business. I'm having a wondering about this library
“ Is that so? What's so special and mysterious about it?” He flicked his tail.
“ Well, ever since I was a pup, I always thought and wondered what C & A was. The librarians say it wasn't a part of the library title. But why even put it there if it wasn't a part of it?” Her glance shifted at the title “ like why even add it there? “
Windbreaker became interested in hearing about her experience.
“ And every time I've always come across it, the librarian changes every day. And the wolf packs get shorter each change. “ Jadekinse didn't feel like telling him more. “ I-i don't want to spoil it to you fully, w
Wind. “ Her green and hinted dark green stained with the beaming light down from the palace ceiling window.
Windbreaker and Jadekinse heard pawsteps coming towards them, they turned around and saw Nightcat. She shoved Windbreaker aside and stared at Jadekinse.
“ You, “ She stabbed her finger into her lime green chest. “ We got some training to do. And my goal is to make you a senior warrior, Jade. “ Nightcat’s coat was a phantom dark purple with a white secondary. Maroon eyes and slitted pupils like snakes with protruding fangs and white inner ears. She looked a lot like that nerdy wolf Jiso. Same coat colors but with blue ringed pupil eyes. But the pack always says that they are siblings but they're not.
Nightcat glared at Jadekinse’s emerald green eyes “ Come on. We are training at Hollow birch.” She located, walking away downstairs
“ What?! Come on! I hate Hollow birch!” Jadekinse complained. She walked after Nightcat.
“ Hollow birch is a good training area for upcoming senior warriors like you. Birds and squirrels and cats are there you can hunt on. “ Nightcat pushed open the birch almond white doors open.
Jadekinse paused, “ Wait..Cats? —”

PAWS OF PREY

“ AND— Hollow birch is a better training boundary than all the boundaries scattered in our territory. “ stated Nightcat. She took a deep smell of the outside air.
Jadekinse shook her head, mishearing. “ Did you say cats? “ Nightcat looked at her. “ Cats? Oh, yeah. Why? Have you never hunted cats before? “ She asked.
Jadekinse glared at her appallingly. “ That's insane. I-i never knew wolves could hunt down cats. “ Jadekinse pinned her ears. Her mind thought about Ronnie and Donna. Wait till Donna and Ronnie hear about this.
“ Now come on! We gotta get you training. “ Nightcat dashed into bushes. And so did Jadekinse.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAcxtKvJraxF
Walking into a bushy, pine forest. Pine trees tall like mountains, and deer herds mostly scattered and spotted closely.
At the far sighting from straight, Jadekinse and Nightcat could see a white tree with light green leaves. Bushes covered the sighting. Nightcat darted over quickly as a soaring eagle.
Nightcat shoved the bushes away. “ Hollow birch! “ Radiant, shimmering yellow stained the birch tree. Autumn leaves scattered everywhere with tons of leaf piles. It was circled with medium pine trees.
Below the pine tree bottom dress, it was dark. Jadekinse had a feeling a rabbit was going to come out.
“ This place is beautiful! Better than Wolfpaw Shore. “ Jadekinse said, echoing the place. Nightcat smiled.
“ Yep! And Sakura assigned this place for our training sessions from now on. “ She heard a ruffle sound against the leaf piles. She scented with her nose, detecting a rabbit's noise.
“ Jadekinse, use your nose, you might spot prey around. “ Nighcat said.
Jadekinse scolded around, using her nose. She went near the leaf piles, using her nose. She heard the ruffle sound again. She rotated her head to the following noise, behind Nightcat was a white, dipped brown rabbit. It looked like a hare, but a fluffy neck.
“ Rabbit,” Jadekinse went in stalk mode, bending her legs and arms into full crouch. When Nightcat saw her acting, she smiled. Jadekinse ambled closer to the prey, the prey zipped both ways like a spying camera. Jadekinse stops as the rabbit looks at her or close.
With another step, she leaped, transitioning to a wide pounce on the rabbit. Jadekinse stabbed her fangs and teeth into the rabbit's fluffy neck. The rabbit kicked its feet at her, squealing and shrieking until it was dead. After a while, she kept biting till she heard bones cracking.
Nightcat stared at her appallingly. “ Wow, it's been like—3 moons and you can hunt! Better than last time. “ She leaped closer to Jadekinse. “ Good job! Let's bring it to the kitchen. I don't think Chef Kayla will need a rabbit but it's fine. “
Nightcat walked away, with Jadekinse. The wolves retraced the path way home.
A truffle sound was made very close. Nightcat popped her head up, inspecting the following noise. She scanned around. She detected any movement. Jadekinse copied her as well.
A human with a camo suit and a gun was walking nearby. He saw Nightcat's head. The human got in action with his gun, right when the human pulled the trigger, Nightcat saw him, and she popped her head down immediately.
“ RUN! “ Jadekinse and Nightcat escaped from the pine woods.
The human saw their movement, and got in action, pulling the trigger constantly. Loud bangs echoed in the forest.
Nightcat and Jadekinse went into the mouth of the bush they entered from.
“ Jade! —are you alright?!” Nightcat heavily scanned Jadekinse's body, she was out of breath.
Jadekinse tipped her head. “ I'm.. fine…” She began hallucinating, seeing weird black dots around her vision and rainbow sparkles.
She fell to the ground, fainted.
Nightcat pinned her ears, she grabbed Jadekinse's tail, dragging it to the palace doors. She had to do it fast or else she'd brought the hunter to the palace.
A few struggles, she got to the doors and pushed it wide open. She dragged Jadekinse's body. The wolves brought their eyes on them who looked like they survived in 3 wars.
Sakura trotted towards Nightcat. “ What happened now? Is everything alright? “ She looked down and saw Jadekinse's body, her fur was prickled with twigs and branches and so were Nightcat's.
Aggressive steps rushed down the staircases, Windbreaker saw the crowd, he joined in to see what was happening.
“ WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?!” he exclaimed, he pushed through the crowd and saw Jadekinse flat on the ground. Nightcat glared at him sadly.
Sakura shifted glances at Windbreaker and Jadekinse. She turned around, “ B-bring her to the sanatorium! “ She reported. Four wolves from the crowd dragged Jadekinse's body onto their backs.
The pack of wolves trotted away resuming their business.
“ Tell me how it happened. “ Sakura prompted, Windbreaker got in the way, she pushed him back.
Nightcat sighed. “ ME and Jadekinse, where in the Hollow birch like you told me to go to. Jadekinse caught the rabbit, but it probably fell. After we were done training, we saw a hunter. '' Sakura's and Windbreaker's ears perked up with the word hunter.
“ Luckily, — none of us were shot. “ Nightcat shivered in fear.
Sakura sighed, go take some rest. Don't bring this hunter to camp. If we have any more huge reports then I might have to set up guards around the boundaries.
Nightcat glared at her. “ But then you’d be killing your own wolves! Because the hunters could shoot them at any moment! “ Nightcat insisted. Her coat trickled up.
Sakura tilted her head, “ I suppose you're right, but we keep getting huge reports and—I don't know what's causing this. “ Her eyes showed a serious gesture at Nightcat.
Sakura looked above the second level, spotting the sanatorium. “ Jadekinse. “ She looked back at Nightcat.
“ It's always her. I mean, I saw her with most wolves coming to report news to me, but it's mostly bad news with her.

CHAPTER. 24
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
120Please respect copyright.PENANAww4VLnNq5A
Nightcat shook herself off, with a relieving sigh, “ I also agree. But I just make sure my senior apprentice is safe. I won't let it go—waste. “
Sakura looked at her, seeing if she could be dismissed. “ Alright Nightcat, you can go take some rest. “ Nightcat walked past her, going up the staircase. “ But I'm pausing your training. “ She called.
Sakura flashed her tail, she glanced at Windbreaker. “ Go to sleep, it's been a long day for you and Jadekinse. '' Windbreaker walked up the staircase, and to his dorm.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWmtYDFzb5C
Thunder roared in the distance, the clouds swirling each thunder strike, trees danced with the aggressive dance. The dark gray clouds faded each twist.
With a bullet of wind, Windbreaker lifted his head, wondering why it was so cold in his dorm. He flickered his tail back and forth.
He grunted. He fastened close to his window frame, the wind dissolved like grains of sugar into tea. He sighed, laying back down on his moss bed. “ My name is Wind, but not wind. “
Pawsteps teased his dorm, he shifted his body towards the door, if it was Jadekinse. The pawsteps passed the dorm unexpectedly. He shrugged, he went to his vine door, he peeked his head out, he shifted left and right. Chances it might be Jadekinse playing with him, or just wolves walking by.
A few hours later, he was in bed. He felt something odd, Jadekinse didn't come to say hi to him. He pushed himself out of bed. Walking outside his dorm, it was all ordinary, wolves at the center, chatting, Sakura talking to Vermon.
But he inspected the crowd, he knew Jadekinse was missing, but Shadecrow.
120Please respect copyright.PENANArslO7C08Re
Shadecrow was missing.
Windbreaker rushed down the staircase, he inspected the crowd, pushing through it. He’d glare up, he guessed which floor Jadekinse was on. He pushed through the crowd, rushing up the stairs again.
Wolves stared at him as he swiftly did everything like a rushed task. Wolves whisper and judge about him.
Windbreaker stopped and braked on the ground. Right at the mouth of the vine door of Dorm 723. He saw a sticky note next to the vine door. It said,
Meet me at, ______ _____.
It was like a mystery to solve. Windbreaker shifted glances from back and forth, what could this mean? He pondered, thinking it was probably those I Spy objects thingies.
Glances and eyes like recording cameras, he really couldn't spot anything. But he looked at the note again. He figured if it was a boundary, and those object clue games.
But many boundaries were like bold names. There couldn't possibly be one who fit the blanks in the note. And he barely explored his territory because of Jadekinse.
He grabbed the sticky note and turned back, trotted down the staircase. He opened the doors. Sakura glared anxiously at him as he exited. He looked back, grinning at her. He stopped at the point of the palace mouth, then shifted glances left and right. He chose right. He sprinted straight right, he didn't know any of the boundary names.
But, he remembered Nightcat said, Hollow Birch. That popped into his mind immediately.
He stopped, he didn't know where the location was to Hollow Birch. He could have guessed left. But his laziness felt like it didn't want to go back.
But there was no choice. He had to see where his friend was.
He groaned, sprinting back to the left. He picked up his pace. The clouds start closing in, with racing drops of water.
Rain.
Multiple drops of rain injected into the surface and into his fur. He entered the oddly, light green bush. As he entered, he saw an autumn pine forest. It was raining, which was more beautiful.
Windbreaker stepped into the forest, walking across very tall pine trees and small standard deer herds distanced. The more he walked, the more the orange and brown leaves cracked and ruffled, probably alerting all the animals.
Gusty wind blew him back as he kept going straight. The sticky note was still in his mouth by now. Leaves covered the birch tree in the distance. He dashed, hoping the wind would go away as he got there. He entered the boundary, wind was still there, but slowly surrounded him as he looked around. He glared stunningly at the tall, birch tree. Zebra striped-like markings all over the tree, with yellowish green hair. Leaf piles in corners, pine trees surround him.
He looked at the ground, he noticed green pelts of fur were hidden in the autumn leaves. It had to be Jadekinse.
He followed the tracks of green pelt,making him invade the dark shadows into the pine trees. He tucked in his tail beneath his belly as soon as he got farther into the darkness. He felt like he was being watched, from the farthest to the closest. He stared at the green pelt tracks, continuing like an endless track.
He walked and walked, the darkness swallowing the whole sighting, pitch black. He couldn't see the pine trees anymore, no autumn leaves, no birch tree, and no light. He looked around, was the darkness getting closer? He sprinted at full speed, he sprinted until the track of green pelts were gone.
Ahead, was light, but not Jadekinse?.

CHAPTER. 25
GREETING “ANGELS.”
120Please respect copyright.PENANAH86uUMCOl2
A white wolf was sitting in front of him in the bright light. Windbreaker trotted closer, he didn't want to disturb the white wolf. He didn't want his curiosity to win.
He thought, his curiosity won and tapped the white wolf on the back. The white wolf turned around, its eyes were fully bright red. The eye contact turned into a staring contest. Windbreaker eyes fought back to the white wolf’s. A brief pause struck between, and he blinked and lost.
He rubbed his eyes, the white wolf was gone. And the light began to fade on him, making him stuck in the black void. His expression turned worried. He felt like something was about to grab him and take him away. He turned around swiftly,
Nothing was there.
He shifted glances, he was frightened that he would be gone, or dead. He dashed back at full speed, the green pelts of fur were gone. Has he fallen into a trap?, or is he hallucinating? What made him do this? Where is Jadekinse?
His spine shivered, the void was ready to grab him. He tried to speed up, but his legs were getting sore and filled with pain, he might even be fast as a rabbit. Windbreaker vision was blurry, but he saw the birch tree in a second, he jumped, trying to land into the safe light. It's like the darkness shattered as he jumped to the light.
With a steering brake, Windbreaker fell into the birch tree, and fell an red apple. His breath could have fully disappeared if he hadn't jumped. He took a relieving sigh, and laid his head, resting under the birch tree’s shadow.
“ Where..Is she.. “ He glared at the pine trees. The void was still there beneath the pine tree’s dress. He pushed his sore body, but failed. Looking like a sloth on the ground. His body was so numb, his vision was still blurry,
Then everything began to blackout.
He blinked slowly, he was in a white room. His body wasn’t numb anymore. He stood up from the same position. He cleaned himself, while he was cleaning, his ears glanced at the white wolf. He stopped, he didn’t want to experience the void again. All he needed was Jadekinse.
“ Who are you?! “ He shouted at the white wolf. His voice echoed throughout the room. “ Why am I here?! And where is Jadekinse?! “ He exclaimed again, trotting to the wolf. The wolf turned around, its red eyes met his blue eyes. A staring contest started again, then, the red wolf’s pupils began to go slit.
Windbreaker was back to reality. His body was numb again, he lifted his head.
Who was that wolf? Did it take Jadekinse? Or was that his alternate form?
He curled his body around to his leg, he licked his leg, making the numb go away. Windbreaker licked his other leg, and got up successfully. He walked out of the Hollow birch , it was like a demon's plaza.
There are many other boundaries like Wolfpaw Shore and Terrain plains which are close to the sea wolf's territory. But Hollow birch. — what kind of boundary would be a death place?!
He kept trotting back home, he felt like he’d get lost in the pine trees with his blurry vision. But he still wonders why the green grass at home would transition into autumn here?
He wonders about so many things, it's like he hasn't explored the whole continent and just stuck at home. What else could he do?Leaving home without permission is illegal, and invading other territories a
Windbreaker tried to trace the path to home, his vision kept bothering him and wished it would just go away permanently. He never wanted that to occur again. Now he was afraid of pine trees. And the season of autumn and boundaries is obviously illegal. But nothing stops Windbreaker from trying. And so does his friend..
He knew Jadekinse was still missing. But on the other hand, he didn't want the void to occur again. He glanced at the swirling clouds, still blue, and gusts of wind. He wasn't ready for snow-paw yet. He didn't want snow-paw to come.
His glance shifted straight at the green bush where he entered from, he centered over there, and leaped into the bush. He looked to his right immediately to find himself home at “last.”

CHAPTER. 26
STARVING ARTISTS
The two doors were a sign that he was home. It was like a shield, protecting everyone from their trauma by all the wolves. Windbreaker pushed into the two doors. It yawned right in front of him. He stopped heavily, looking at the empty center. Everyone was gone, and he was starving. He hadn't eaten in 3 moons. His stomach almost looked like a twig from now on.
He trotted up the staircases, to the next floor, and more floors until he stopped at the kitchen, it was closed. But he didn't want to die, yet. Windbreaker snuck under the small gate, connecting the long countertops. He sniffed, and the lights flicker, turning on. He hid behind a shelf as soon he saw the lights turn on, hearing pawsteps on the left, he turned his glance and saw Chef Kayla.
The maroon, red had light green eyes, and freckles tracked along beneath her eyes.
“ Why did it turn on? Is there a stealer around trying to steal? “ She sniffed around for the suspect. Luckily Windbreaker's scent wasn't revealed.
Chef Kayla sniffed again, she pondered deeper into the kitchen. She glanced at the shelves and the drawers.
“ I know you're out there, or here somewhere!” She called. Leaving a short echo behind throughout the kitchen. The echo withered up Windbreaker’s spine shivered up, making him cause more noise. He peeked his head, looking up at a pile of stacked metal bowls and sticks as chopsticks.
Kayla turned around faster than a heartbeat, she spotted Windbreaker’s head.
Windbreaker turned his head spotting her, he squeezed out from his hiding spot, with Kayla after him.
With a running dash, Kayla pounced on him, she growled at the struggling victim.“ I will rip you into shreds— Oh? Wind? “ She leaped off of him. Windbreaker stood up, wincing.
Kayla scanned his body. “ Oh dear, you look skinny and pale! And your fur looks darker. Come on, I'll make you something to eat. “ Kayla trotted back to the kitchen, Windbreaker went after her.
Kayla entered the kitchen, going up to the counter facing Windbreaker as he sat down facing her.
“ So, what would you like to eat today? —”
“ Rabbit please….” Windbreaker said in a tiny, feared tone.
Kayla struck a confused look at him. “ Just a rabbit? Hon, you know you can't eat raw rabbit! “
Windbreaker pinned his ears. “ But why?..” Kayla's face palmed herself. “ Wind, eating raw rabbit isn't good for you, and It isn't filled with nutrients and vitamins and healthy plants! —”
Windbreaker tipped his head down. “ N–no.. Rabbit is good for you! W-who even told you that? Have you ever tried rabbit plain? “
Kayla rolled her eyes at him. “ Us chefs know what's good in food and we study it. You warriors bring us food from your training. Get it? It's like you guys are the suppliers! “
Windbreaker glanced at her. “ Really? “
“ Yes! I promise you, raw rabbit is bad for you—”
“ But— Rabbit is filled with blood that goes into our body, making us stronger. “ Windbreaker said.
Kayla snarled, “ STOP cutting me off! “ She turned around aggressively, flicking her tail, getting a bowl from the shelves.
“ I'm making you rabbit stew, now wait. “ She ordered strictly. Windbreaker sat down, laying his head flat on the white counter. He shifted glances all around the palace, seeing if anyone was awake.
No one was awake.
He tried to straighten his glance at Kayla making the rabbit stew. He felt sleepy, his body was about to go offline soon. His eyes began to close and laid his neck aside.
As Kayla was about to grab the lettuce, she noticed that Windbreaker was fast asleep. She groaned and rushed her making. She grabbed a white quartz bowl, and filled it with hot water from the sink. She grabbed the rabbit from the food pile, and tossed it onto a thick wooden platter. She grabbed the knife and cut off the ears, tail, and scooped out the eyes. It always horrified her when it came to the eyes.
She set the parts aside.
She wanted to try out her co-worker’s skill. She set the knife aside and used her claws for the doing.
Kayla was heavily inspired by her lovely cook assistant Kanjo. He used his sharp claws, throwing prey and cutting the prey in midair and resulting in perfect cubes like a samurai. It was fascinating to see him do that. Kayla dreamed of him becoming her mate, but had to focus on her making. She threw the prey into the air and quickly unsheathe her claws at the same time, she tried to slice the prey with her claws but instead slapped the prey into the wall.
The prey slid down, leaving a trail of blood on the wall.
She sighed, and went to pick up the prey and just cut it with the knife.
“ I can never do anything. He’s so handsome though. Why can’t I be the perfect match for him? “ She muttered to herself, sighing and resting her eyes, focusing on the cutting.
She started to hear snoring from the mouth of the kitchen, she pinned her ears and walked to Windbreaker.
“ Stop snoring your kit, your food is coming any minute or hour now. “ Kayla reminded, Windbreaker popped his head up “ Snoring? I wasn’t sleeping? “
Was I? He thought.
“ Well, just stay awake because your food is coming, but at this point you should be getting some sleep if you can. “ She flicked her tail, walking to the left of the kitchen plaza.

CHAPTER. 27
TILL THE SEASON’S ARRIVAL
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3Cm2bDMTaJ
Meanwhile, Windbreaker saw a glimpse of radiant light shining on the countertop. He glanced back, the windows invaded a speck of light, staining the countertop. It was becoming SunPaw soon.
“ Daylight,” His eyes resisted the radiant light. He shifted quickly around. “ Too bright! “ Windbreaker saw Kayla with the bowl of soup. She set it down, waiting for him to feast.
Windbreaker dug his snout into the soup, eating it sloppy like a domestic dog.
“ Ew! Eat it normal Wind! Not sloppy. And I could tell you haven’t eaten in moons. “ She protested. “ And when you're done–” She yawned tiringly, “ Go get some sleep even though Sakura might suspend you from.. — doing – stuff what-ever. “ Windbreaker duck his head up, his mouth greasy and oily from the soup. The bowl was empty faster than a heartbeat.
Kayla sighed, and switched the sign to Close as she walked off. Meanwhile, Windbreaker always thought chefs slept in their kitchen dorms.
His glance turned back to the center, he heard the sound of pawsteps traveling down the staircases, a rush of wolves raced down the staircases from each floor to the center. They all scattered to the center and sat.
What on paws just happened? He thought. The chattering has already begun. Was it always like this? How wolves at the center formed so randomly?
Windbreaker yawned, he felt odd. He still knew Jadekinse was missing for 2 days. He didn’t want to slack off so much from finding her, but on the other paw, it was too much to handle. But if so, why would Jadekinse leave in the first place? He sat there like a bear hunching his back. He felt like his miscues were revealing to the palace slowly.
“ Too much, too much Wind. Just go look for her or tell the others. Ronnie might be happy about her being gone. “

It's been 2 days. Jadekinse shivered in fear, a dark gloomy place couldn’t be this frightening. She checked her surroundings, no–wolf was there. She still had flashbacks of Shadecrow murdering her father, she still didn’t know why the wolves swept it aside like nothing. She felt like she fell into Shadecrow’s trap.
“ That dark wolf – has no mercy for anyone. “ She kept wandering around the dark place. No trees, no mammals, no nature. Where had she wandered off to?
“ I miss my group, my peace-mongers. They are probably worried about me except Ronnie. Even though her purple rainbow coat makes me feel better for some odd reason. I hope Harper is okay. And Donna, and Wind. “ She perked her ears up, she heard pawsteps traveling closer to her, but it sounded like they traveled in multiple ways.
Jadekinse shifted around, for the pawsteps. Was she ambushed?Is it coming to an end?
“ Whoever you are, Leave me alone! Jadekinse shouted, her sentence ended in a short, fading echo into the darkness. It felt like she was having those visions like the black at the palace.
She heard pawsteps coming from directions towards her, she snarled at the coming pawsteps, she darted where the pawsteps started, it sounded like they faded away when she growled facing it directly.
All she knows is that she wandered off into a forest with a dark entrance. She regretted her choice. Finding that wolfbreed wasn’t the smartest choice.
After a while of fighting off the pawsteps, they stopped. She glanced around, she trotted back, “ N–no-no, I can’t be this stupid to go into the darkness more! “ She teased, walking back and shifting into a sprint. She saw the mouth of the light, she sprinted at maximum speed. She flung herself out of there with a fall.
She lifted her head up, glaring worryingly at the dark forest.
“ Never do that again, Jade! “ Jadekinse shook her head and tried to retrace her way home. Back at the seawolf’s palace, she was so curious about what Makoyatta said. What wolf breed attacked Harper?
Jadekinse dashed through the forest to get home, she’s gonna have to keep her miscues in secrecy.
She stopped, glaring at the trees, some were orange, and half naked. BarePaw was coming.
Jadekinse tracked her way down to home varyingly. Nothing stops her from seeing her group, and her friend Windbreaker. She didn’t want the pack leaving her behind with all the jobs, and she especially needed to be trained with Nightcat by this point.
She observed the doors to her home. She dashed over the doors faster than a heartbeat. She shoved through the doors with her body. The doors yawned wide open for her. The palace still looks the same after 2 days.
“ Will the palace ever get a new look? I like pink, but at least just make some changes after a while! “ She protested. She observed the whole palace, the same color and same window. She felt like it was the start of the year. Nothing feels right.

CHAPTER. 28
BAREPAW COMES AT LAST FOR THE WOLVES
120Please respect copyright.PENANAo2K4o3UNhb
Everything was open, except for the library. Which was permanently closed if Sakura changed her mind.
Jadekinse observed the kitchen, she spotted Windbreaker. She perked her ears up, darting up the staircases towards him. She hadn’t been so happy in decades.
“ Wind! “ She shouted happily, running towards him.
Windbreaker darted towards the voice, his eyes glanced at her, he was surprised that his victim came to him.
“ Jade! “ He exclaimed. He walked to her wobbly like a kit without knowing how to walk.
Jadekinse struck an appalled look at him. “ EW WIND! You look like you haven’t slept and ate in 7 years! “ She pointed out, making him feel drowsy and bad even more.
He scoffed, “ Jade, I’ve been looking for you! Where on earth have you been?! “ He leaped towards her. Windbreaker glanced at the center of wolves down below. He spotted Nightcat coming behind Jadekinse, he guessed it was her training time.
“ Jadekinse! It’s training time!~ And Sakura hopes that the hunters won't hunt us again. She suspended the pack from going into that forest. —But I'm not sure.” Nightcat said. The three palace oval windows reflected a yellow sun ray, staining her phantom purple coat. Jadekinse perked her ears up as soon she heard the word training faster than a heartbeat.
Nightcat chuckled, she turned around walking down the staircase, glancing at the center of wolves. Jadekinse chased after her.
She kept up, “ What is our place? Did Sakura say anything? “ She flashed her tail. Nightcat flicked her tail.
“ I believe our boundary is… Wolfpaw Shore? “ Nightcat guessed. “ But it’s mostly near Monsoon territory. But it's fine, they wouldn’t notice. “ She scanned her surroundings. “ If there were no patrols. “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAg69mIx94hF
“ Aren’t there mostly fish there? “ Jadekinse asked. “ Yeah. “ Nightcat replied. The two wolves walked into a gate of marsh plants and cattails, leading them into a sandy area with an azure shore. The shore rose to them slowly. The sound of waves escaped from the shore as it rose to the surface.
“ Are you sure we can find fish here? “ Jadekinse said. The two wolves watched the shore rise up and down to them.
“ Yes! I spotted some tuna, but I found out they don't stop swimming or else they’ll die, — so, yeah. “ She played with her claws. “ Try catching some bluegill or angel fish. “
“ Angel-what? “ Jadekinse said.
“ Angelfish. It’s a fish that looks like a cloud. They're kinda big. I want you to catch one or some. “ Jadekinse nodded, she stepped into the shore, she bends her back and crouches. She waited for an angelfish to come by, or a school of them.
She waited, no angelfish. She ambled deeper into the shore, hoping there would be a school of angelfish coming by.
“ Angelfish are kinda smart, Jadekinse. They have eyes but can’t see like us. “ Nightcat reminded her.
Jadekinse flung her head back at her and groaned. “ I know Nightcat! “ She snapped. She resumed her catching.
The shore rose to her Jadekinse paws. She scanned the shore, looking for angelfish. She heard clatters of swimming, she darted to her left, a school of separated angelfish ran into her.
Jadekinse opened her mouth wide,
Snatch.
She caught an angelfish. She shook her head, watching all the other angelfish run away. Jadekinse returned to Nightcat with the angelfish.
“ Awesome, now we can insert it into the kitchen. “
“ Can’t we just eat prey raw? I don't get why we have to cook it.” Jadekinse questioned. The two wolves trotted back to the palace, exiting the gate of marsh plants and cattails.
“ Well, Chef Kayla saw a wolf who..Uhm..Snuck in the kitchen last month. He ate a raw rabbit and he died from diseases. “ Nightcat answered. Jadekinse’s expression furroword with confusion.
“ Really? Ronnie eats prey raw. “ Jadekinse replied.
“ Who?-”
“ No one. “
Jadekinse thought of Ronnie, making her think of her group again. She still hoped Harper was still healthy. What wolf breed attacked her? Jadekinse wondered.
The two wolves took directions on the way home. They got to the palace, entering the white almond colored doors. A long creaking noise emerged from the doors as they opened.
Nighcat glanced at the doors. “ Uh-oh, looks like Sakura’s gotta fix them. She doesn't like creaky noises. “ The two wolves trotted up the staircase, next floor, and more floors until they arrived at the kitchen.
Jadekinse settled down the angelfish on the quartz counter. Chef Kanjo came and took the angelfish away.
Jadekinse glanced back at Nightcat. “ When am I gonna be a senior warrior? “ She asked. Nightcat glanced back.
“ Well, you haven’t been training for like, what? 4 months?Like? — Where have you been? I'm pretty sure like, half of the pack has been worried about you.” She flicked her ears. “ And Sakura wants you to be a senior warrior soon. Her and Vermon are preparing your ceremony once you're ready. “
Jadekinse tilted her head. “ But why? “ She gazed at Nightcat.
“ I…I don’t know. Are you special? “ Nightcat questioned.
“ I wish. I wanna be a superior wolf. Always since I was a pup. I don’t why, but it has been on my mind ever since. “
Nightcat shifted glances. “ Well, training starts tomorrow MoonPaw, I don't know why, but all I know is that Sakura wants Vermon to be your mentor. “
Jadekinse pinned her ears. Vermom? She thought. He’s too good at hunting. Even though he looks like he might be strict. And he looks like a cat. So.. — I don’t think about that. She paused herself. “ Did I just rhyme? “ She flicked her claws together and out, walking away.
As Nightcat watched her walking off, Jadekinse bumped into Windbreaker.
“ Jadekinse! “ Windbreaker called. She usually didn’t see him calling her name.
“ What Wind? “ She replied back. Windbreaker was hopping in circles facing her excitedly.
“ Ronnie and Donna found what wolf breed attacked Harper! “

CHAPTER. 29
REVEALING SUSPECTS
120Please respect copyright.PENANAZPXv461FUa
Jadekinse was appalled and startled. “ Really? “ She said. Windbreaker nodded. He immediately dashed to the doors, pushed the doors open with his head like a ram. Jadekinse’s eyes wide open. How did he not get hurt? She thought.
“ Wind?-” Windbreaker ran past Jadekinse like a cheetah. He wasn’t this excited. Or maybe he just wants to end wars and protests so quickly.
Windbreaker ran in the correct direction to the cavern. Jadekinse catched up, sprinting with him even though he was faster.
“ Wind! Slow down – “ The two wolves forgot to brake as they fell face first to the ground sliding across the grass.
Ronnie and Donna and Harper glared at each other and down at them.
“ Are you guys okay? You came here faster than usual. “ Said Ronnie. She flashed her tail and played with her claws.
Jadekinse got up and so did Windbreaker. They stared at each other and at the wolves in front of them. Jadekinse rose to feet and paws.
“ Windbreaker told me you guys found what wolf breed attacked Harper. Tell me. “ Jadekinse ordered. Ronnie rolled her eyes. She flicked her head, darting her glance at Donna. Donna’s lilac coat poofed.
“ Oh!” She glanced back at Ronnie and then to Jadekinse. “ We..Uhh..Went to the seawolf’s pavilion palace. We met Lubee and Makoyatta. They Uhh.. — Found some information about what attacked Harper. “ She glanced over to Harper inspecting her bandaged arm.
“ Harper, is your arm okay? “ Ronnie asked, she rotated her body at her. Harper nodded.
Donna looked back at Windbreaker.“ Wind, did Makoyatta say that a wolf with wings attacked her? “ Windbreaker gazed back, tilting his head. “ Wait, a wolf with wings? “
“ Wait, Makoyatta — said that? “ Ronnie chimed in. Harper stepped back slowly. Donna shifted her confuzzled glance over to Harper.
“ A — what with wings? “ Jadekinse said, shifting glances at the wolves.
“ Makoyatta 100 percent said that. “ Said Donna. She licked her lilac coat. Ronnie shook her head in the distance behind her. She furrowed her snout, giving Donna a growling face.
“ Aren't we supposed to be looking for peace and not what attacked me? “ Said Harper. She shook her red coat. The wolves all stared at her.
“ Ohhh—yeah. “ Jadekinse replied, nodding. “ And we aren’t bringing the whole pack. “ Ronnie smiled.
“ So we have to leave our whole home and family behind? Just for peace? “ Donna replied. Harper and Jadekinse nodded.
“ It's the only thing we have, Donna. We can’t make a boat for all our families. There are like, 2000 wolves on Pyradonna. We have to trust the Claws Of Paws.
Windbreaker glanced at the bushy trail where Jadekinse and him left and entered. He would miss everyone. Even his sister, Dragonfruit. ( who probablydied without him noticing. )
But if so, why would we all do this? He thought. Like all the leaders and other wolves say, “Peace is already inserted in our continent.” They all tell Jadekinse that, but her rabbit-brain just keeps yapping about another continent filled with peace and weird wolf breeds.
His glance gazed down at the green grass. He played with it, while the chattering from the girls continued. The grass was so soft, he ate it and rolled in it like a mud puddle.
“ Ronnie, you don’t understand! We can’t just magically go to the other continent! We have to make a plan! "said Jadekinse.
“ Make a plan MY FACE! “ Ronnie snapped, shoving her face into the Jadekinse. Jadekinse snarled, shoving her face into hers.
“ We’ve been “making plans,” SINCE LIKE LAST MONTH. And have we ever doneanything besides going to the seawolf’s palace without PERMISSION?! “ Her expression began to furrow with madness. Donna and the others watched the argument.
Jadekinse growled at her.
Ronnie walked towards her, shoving her face into hers. “ OH, AND WE’VE BEEN SLACKING OFF FROM THE PLANS! DO BETTER LEADER! “
“ BACK OFF!” Windbreaker stepped in front of Jadekinse, growling his face into Ronnie’s.
“ OH? NOW YOU WANT TO PLAY?! “ Ronnie formed six blue, reflective, sharp crystal shurikens. She slowly pushed them into Windbreaker’s face, close enough to see his worried reflection.
“ RONNIE! “ Donna barked from behind. Ronnie shifted back to her face, teasing the shurikens into her face. Donna flashing her tail, her mouth positioned like she was going to eject her poison.
Ronnie canceled her abilities, and she stepped back.
“ DON’T HURT THEM.” Donna snapped at her. She shoved Ronnie aside to Windbreaker.
“ Is she alright? “ She peeked over at Jadekinse, her ears pinned. Jadekinse hid her face from everyone.
“ Well have fun having trouble, I'm leaving this group and being a regular tourist. “ Ronnie scolded off, leaping into the bushes. The wolves watch her sprint away back home.
“ Well, now what. “ Said Harper.
“ Is everyone and everything — alright?! Donna declared, she gazed immediately at Jadekinse and then to Windbreaker. Windbreaker still looked worried and traumatize with his wide eyes
“ Donna, can you comfort Ronnie once we go back? “ Jadekinse said. Donna glanced back.
“ Well,if she is like.. — okay then yes. I'm hoping she doesn't tell Redjackal about this. “ The wolves stared at the sky, it was turning MoonPaw soon.
“ Let’s go back. “Harper declared. Harper and Donna sprinted their way back home except for Jadekinse and Windbreaker.
The two wolves sat there, like they were zoning out. After a little while, they glanced at each other.
“ I just want this to end. "said Windbreaker.
“ Me too, but I honestly don't know why I started this group. “ Jadekinse replied. She glanced at the sunset, slowly getting darker. She never knew why, or what made her start this group. She just wanted peace, believing her mother's story. Another continent on the other side. Wolves with wings and stronger, rare abilities than us Pyrradonnanian wolves.
“ Are we gonna go home or…—” Jadekinse dragged Windbreaker by the tail, he flopped to the ground, Jadekinse sprinted faster than she could, making his belly burn.
“ HELP! “ Windbreaker called, she was burning him like carpet burns. She was at it again and her plans.
They stopped at the palace doors, this time Jadekinse didn't yank Windbreaker at the door.
Windbreaker struggled to his feet, Jadekinse let go of his tail.
“ STOP IT WITH THE DRAGGING! “ Windbreaker cried, Jadekinse spotted little fire sparks under his belly. She was glad that he didn't have a bald spot under his belly. She chuckled then transitioned to a loud constant laugh.
“ W-what are you laughing at?” Windbreaker inspected himself all around and under his body finding out what's making her laugh.
“ No! I was just glad you didn't have a—” Her laugh began to sound like a hyena, which made her laugh even more till her face was red. “ A bald spot! “
“ A bald spot? — WHERE?!” Windbreaker immediately checked under his belly. His white fur was still there, but he could still see spots of pelt missing.
He pinned his ears at Jadekinse, giving her a grumpy look.
“ You're no fun. “ He pushed through the doors, walking up the staircase to his dorm as usual. Jadekinse went after him but went straight to her dorm.
She paused, she was distracted by how the three oval windows in the middle of the palace were shining on her. The full moon reflected rays of pale light, staining Jadekinse's green coat.
She sat there staring at the moon right in the middle of the window. Perfectly fitted, and perfectly fitted in the line markings of the middle window. She sat there until it wasn’t perfectly in the middle anymore. It was like a message from the prophecy, or could it be?

CHAPTER. 30
UNEASE MOONS
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3hwq36NyDK
Jadekinse still sat there. She had forgotten that she needed to go to bed. But now that the Moon caught her glimpse, everything grabbed her mind towards the full moon. She had the urge to howl, but didn’t want to wake up the whole palace.
Jadekinse felt like she was hypnotized by the moon. She stared and stared, not blinking. She felt unreal and uneasy.
She slowly leaned her head closer to the moon, closer enough to stop at the white fences. She completely lost it.
“ I-I.” Her vision began to black out. She was in a blank room with a white wolf sitting ahead of her. Jadekinse approached the white wolf. The wolf turned around at her, the wolf's eyes were blood colored like a dragon’s blood. Slitted pupils like snakes. The wolf kept staring at her, slitting its pupils more until it was blank.
“ Who are you?” Jadekinse asked the white wolf. The white wolf didn't respond, it just kept staring at her until its pupils eventually disappeared.
The white wolf shook its head at her. The white wolf approached Jadekinse, sitting close to her.
“ The Claws Of Paws sent me, and you a secret message.”
“ A message?” Jadekinse said.
“ The moon fills the brightest day, and the brightest night. Each fill will grant bits of peace into our continent. A wolf strong enough, focused and determined enough to replace peace with integrity. You, and I shall not be seen within the Moonstones. “ The white wolf glared into her soul.
Jadekinse was struck with dismay. She perked her ears up, remembering when she was staring at the moon. The Claws of Paws did send her a message. And this was it.
Jadekinse glanced at the white wolf. The white wolf’s red eyes were still focused on her dismayed face.
“ What do you mean by moonstone’s’? There are more than one moonstone? “ She inspected the blank room with a hesitant glance.
The white wolf’s pupils began to expand. It expanded wider than an original pupil, expanding all the way to filled eyes. The corners in Jadekinse's vision blurred the more the white wolf expanded her pupils.
She struck her head up, and she was back at the palace. She touched objects to make sure she was in real life. She glanced up at the oval windows, the full moon shifted out of the window lines a bit.
Jadekinse felt overwhelmed by what happened, she memorized the message, but she still wondered why the message said “You and I, shall not be seen within the moonstones.” Jadekinse sometimes thought she was superior. But the “You” and the “I” took her mind to a whole new level.
“ I wish I didn't involve myself, and my friends into situations like this. I wish to put my hopes into this, and find a heart of peace into Pyrradonna. I wish the visions and voids would go away, I wish to live and wish to live in harmony without us.“ Jadekinse glared at the moon as she prayed to it, making her sound very robotically.
She trotted to her left, and went to her dorm. She entered the vines, laying mournfully on her moss bed.
Her expression furrowed with stress and anxiety and sadness, hoping none of this would be real in the future, but if so, Jadekinse and her group would be done for.
She glanced at the white moon, wishing she could go back to sleep normally by not hallucinating by the moon again. She still couldn't get her mind and paws off the white wolf and the message. It was like a myth or a secret. She fully remembers the message, but she tries not to think about it so much.
She cracked her neck on both sides, she cleaned her paws, inspecting her green body to see if she was clean. She rested her head down on the standard moss bed, even though the leaves and stringed grass were beginning to mold recently throughout the moons.
Real eyes tell the what and why.
“ Don’t judge me! I'm the one who saved you last round!”
“ Well, if you didn't I would have the chance to win!” two male voices invaded her room. Jadekinse perked her head up and listened to the argument passing by.
“ Bro, I had 980 points! I could have reached 1000! “ The voices argued on, making Jadekinse interested in the scenario. The one that began to speak sounded familiar to her. It reminded her of a male wolf named Tadano.
He was such a melancholy wolf and talked in a melancholy tone in a sarcasm way that always sparked Jadekinse in happiness. His fur was also like Jadekinse’s, but an oak-brown colored secondary and with yellow speckled strains across his back and up to his eyes.
He also made his own headband with fully-grown elk antlers which was impressive and creative to her. He wanted to look like an urban legend monster he heard from a human conversation called Daijobu. It sounded so weird.
Jadekinse leaped up to her arms and legs. She exited her room and lashed her tail recently.
“ Tadano? “ She observed him talking with a wolf that had a gray and dark gray smudged like blurred swirls. That wolf was probably his friend.
“ Jadekinse? “ Tadano replied as soon as Jadekisne called his name. He switched glances left and right until he spotted her up front.
“ Hi! It’s been awhile ever since we talked! “ Tadano fixed his headband aggressively and grunted trying to fix his attention while glancing at her.
“ Jadekinse, can you help me with my antlers? They're starting to fall off. “ Tadano asked. The wolf in the back gave her a menacing look like he didn’t want her to ever interact with Tadano.
Jadekinse ignored the wolf, and turned her head at the antlers. She ignored the gray wolf while grabbing his left antler and wiggled it to see how weak it was from falling off.
“ Is it gonna fall? “ Tadano whined. “ And I just fixed it yesterday! “ He flicked his tail. Glaring up at his antlers impatiently while Jadekinse tested.
“ Can’t you use your silk powers to stick your antlers back on? “ Suggested Jadekinse, glaring at the wonky antlers.
“ Oh, I forgot I had powers. “ He stuck his paws into the air and moved them closer to his palms. A white ball began to form in between, the white ball had completely gone transparent inside, but left stains on white silk scattered all over the white ball.
He then lifts his paws up into the air, and sets the white ball down on his antlers.
“ Is it stuck there? “ He played with his antlers. He gently lifted his left antler and then his right upwards, fidgeting with it until it stuck permanently onto his headband.
“ I think it’s fixed, Tadano. “ The gray wolf said behind him in an angry, overprotective tone. He patted his back with a gesture that he wanted to leave Jadekinse with annoyance.
Jadekinse nodded but she also wanted to stay away from the gray wolf that was annoyed with her. She wanted to cancel her meetings with Donna and Ronnie and Windbreaker after what happened last week with angered beast Ronnie. Jadekinse also wanted to save the continent from brutal wars made from all the other wolves. But so much trauma got in her way and somehow leaked into her friends' visions as well.
It's been a struggle so fast and so much. So much stress lurked and invaded into Jadekinse. But she didn’t want to stop. Her mother's stories were always a myth and a secret to her. She believed them when she was a pup, now she still believes them till this day.
“ Jade? “ Jadekinse escaped from her daydream, she saw Windbreaker. His gray blue-ish coat looked so dark throughout the moons. She also realized Tadano was gone.
“ What do you need? “ Replied Jadekinse. She lashed her tail as she stood up. The light moved so slowly around the palace, staining Jadekinse’s green coat and her ears.
Windbreaker was surprised. “ Wow. Your.. — Nevermind. “ Windbreaker stammered and gave an inspecting glance scanning around the palace, following the streak of radiant light that shone onto all the objects and surfaces.
“ But what do you need? “ Jadekinse resumed. She’d fidget with her paws, glancing deeply at Windbreaker. For a response
“ I was wondering when we will resume back to saving our continent and look for another one that is basically a myth to—you? “ He sat down.
“ It's not a myth. — Or it could be. “ Jadekinse said. She felt a bump and turned around immediately with an annoyed look on. She saw Nightcat.
“ Hey Jade! “ Nightcat interrupted. She tipped her head. Jadekinse’s annoyed expression faded. “ We need to return to training. And I just — realized that now.” She smiled worryingly at her.
“ Can we catch fish this time? “ Jadekinse said.
“ No, Sakura says that we have to hunt five rabbits and Chef Kayla is mad about your friend, — who is he again?” Nightcat glanced at her. She started to walk out the white doors with Jadekinse walking with her.
“ Windbreaker. Why ask?”
“ Chef Kayla saw him sneak into the kitchen like last week. She's wanting to hire guards possibly to protect the kitchen from intruders and criminals now. Or possibly anyone — Or Windbreaker again."said Nightcat.
He hasn't eaten in moons. That's why his fur is so dark and pale. Jadekinse thought.

CHAPTER. 31
CONVERSATIONS WITH CHANGES
She sighed, and focused forward. She glanced at Nightcat. “ Where are we going? “ Nightcat glanced back.
“ Hm? oh, we're going to the Moonstone. “ Jadekinse threw a wrong expression at her, she immediately glanced back at her.
“ Wait, what did you say?” She said, Nightcat pinned her ears. She scoffed. “ Did you not hear me? We are going to the Moonstones!
Jadekinse looked wrong again and misheard “Are we actually going? Did Sakura assign us to that place?! “ She stopped walking and positioned in a defensive position, facing Nightcat with a worried expression on.
“ What? It's just the Moonstone. There are plenty of rabbit's around there. Are you like.. — Related to the Claws Of Paws.. —Or what? “ Replied Nightcat. “ Because it's not that serious.”
Jadekinse remembered the message from that white wolf. The message, you and I shall not be seen within the moonstones.
Jadekinse sprinted ahead of Nightcat. Nightcat called out for her, Nightcat sprinted with her, but Jadekinse sprinted faster than any wolf. She took directions and turns that lead to the Moonstone. It was like a prize or a rush. She wanted to see, discover, reveal the secret.
Jadekinse dashed into a hill with a tunnel in it, she sprinted and took slim directions and the tunnel got smaller and bigger as she sprinted more.
After a few directions, she saw a huge light blue glowing crystal.
Her impatient focus was hooked on the crystal appealingly, Nightcat came beside her panting but her eyes hooked onto the crystal as well.
A bright moment, bright as the sun. The two wolf's eyes were burning and winced. Jadekinse rubbed her eyes and so did Nightcat.
Nightcat glanced at Jadekinse. “ We need to go back! “ She stepped to Jadekinse, her appalled face and eyes constantly hooked on the light blue glowing crystal.
A message invaded Jadekinse's ears. Her face widened with slight shock. A whisper, it sounded like the white wolf’s voice she met last week. She remembered the message and the important parts of the message, but could it be another one?
“ JADE. “ Nightcat’s face boomed with impatience on her face.
“ I just got a message from the Claws. I couldn't understand it. But I think I heard some—”
“ WE'RE LEAVING IT'S DAWNPAW ALREADY! “ Nightcat left her alone in the tunnel, expecting her to come with her. Jadekinse wanted to hear the message clearer. But she couldn't understand a speck, the muffled voice said to her.
Nightcat came back and growled. “ JADE COME ON!“ She barked at Jadekinse for her attention, “ Sakura’s gonna put your training grade down if you don’t come with ANYTHING. “ Shedidn't react. Her face was still hooked on the glowing moonstone. She wanted to seek, discover, and reveal the hidden secret that lies buried in the grounds below. She would put an end to this if she would have done it in the first place.
Jadekinse shifted her head up. She turned around to see if Nightcat was still, Jadekinse thought her impatience already exploded because of her.
She struggled to stand up, a static feeling spreaded around her left leg. She whined, but had to run it off.
Out the tunnel, and out of the dark. Past pine-tree and past the fields. She didn't catch anything and probably failed her mission again and Nightcat had already left.
Jadekinse glanced up at the sky as she slowly started to slow down her running. The vibrant purple sky had blurred with the layers of orange and red. She reached the palace, and entered the almond white gold- framed doors.
She saw Sakura, glaring at her down with a disgraceful face.
“ Nightcat told me you were distracted from your training, she said you received a random message from the Claws? Believe it or not, I will have to put your training grade down. “
“ But, —” Jadekinse made a disbelieving face, she pinned her ears and gazed at Sakura worryingly.
“ You're still a young warrior, Jade. If you want to improve, act like it. '' Sakura leaped down the clamor of slab rocks and trotted into her bedroom.
Jadekinse made a long sigh and mournfully trotted up the flight of stairs steps and staircases.
She had observed she made a muddy trail of pawsteps behind her. She didn’t want to make the palace a mess, but she already knew that the palace had janitors so she didn’t care.
A rough breeze invaded her room, her fur swayed violently. She peered down at the lined gates, the doors were closed.No touch of wind should have came.
“ Where did that wind come from? “ Jadekinse slowly raised her head, she glared inspecting at the three oval windows. She felt like that wind had something important to give her. — Or that white wolf had sent her a message again.
“ Jade? Go to bed! “ A voice invaded her wondering to the right. Jadekinse shifted to the following voice.
A pale blue wolf was standing in front of her. Her coat had a tortoise shell marking on her back, with white legs up to her elbow, her tail was fully white, and her eyes were surrounded by circles of white with streaks touching her nose like a cheetah’s marking. Jadekinse inspected the stranger for a long moment.
“ I-i.. “ Jadekinse stammered. She didn’t know who the wolf was. But the wolf’s tone sounded like she wanted to pick a fight with her.
Her voice sounds familiar…
The wolf’s face was getting impatient and furious.
“ Jade, IT'S RONNIE. —”
“ RONNIE! " said Jadekinse.“ It's you! But why are you a different color? —” She spotted, observing her sky-blue coat.
“ Rainwolf’s can change their coats, did you forget?! “ She spat angrily.
“ Probably. But why are you in my HOME?“ She leaned her caution into Ronnie’s.
“ I need to tell you something! VERY IMPORTANT. “ Protested Ronnie.
Jadekinse’s eyes slightly widened with interest. She later then perked her ears up like an alert rabbit.
Ronnie started with a long sigh. “ In our pack, there have been rumors spreading across the jungle. “
Jadekinse’s eyes gazed at her intensely, gaining interest.
“ Donna believes it is true, but I don't. She thinks that there's a pitch-black wolf with red eyes who has been murdering, capturing wolves from our jungle, I mean, — that could possibly happen since we have such a big home. Which is literally just a jungle. “ Ronnie glared at the three oval windows and so did Jadekinse.
“ Is it an Infernowolf? Or one of our wolves? “ Jadekinse asked.
“ It can’t be one of your wolves. Your pack isn’t known for that much violence and breaking codes. But the Inferno Pack. — Probably. “ She shifted her head sideways and sat down.
Jadekinse glared all over the palace, inspecting the dorm rooms the most. She squinted at Dorm 76, which was Shadecrow’s dorm. Shadecrow was the most clan’s suspicious wolf there is. His big and dark, shadowy appearance does show some suspicion. “ Does Donna know anything about the wolf? “ She fixed her hooked glance at Ronnie.
“ What?I don’t know — all she said there was a wolf wiping out Rainwolves in the jungle, so I came to your— “
“ Look, has Donna seen this wolf before? If not, go back to the jungle, and tell Donna if she has seen the black wolf. Then sneak into my palace, and describe what Donna said about the wolf, and I might know. “
Then maybe I could grab Harper and Windbreaker to see if we could get this— savage-murderous wolf away.
Ronnie exchanged glances all over the palace, she kept seeing weird things at the corner of her eyes and turned her glances to it. But nothing was there.
She glanced back at Jadekinse. Her green coat was still stained by the moon’s radiant light that poured down from the oval windows.
“ Go to sleep, I–I’ll get evidence if I can. Uhm. “ She turned around and jumped up onto a broken hole that was through the next level, Jadekinse’s face boomed with confusion and slight fury.
“ Ronnie is such a troublemaker! “ Jadekinse whispered angrily. She went to her dorm as the door slowly fastened with a quiet shut.

CHAPTER. 32
THE PENITENTIARY
120Please respect copyright.PENANAB1iUUks4xw
Passing the long fences of evergreen trees, she entered into a dark, vast and shadowy gap that looked like it was about to be her end.
Ronnie had kept sprinting until she stopped at the gazebo of her leader’s home; Redjackal. She braked her paws and arms, sliding onto the red, royal carpet that led to the gazebo doorway..
Ronnie took multiple quiet steps in the jungle, the birds chirp louder every step she took, she transitioned to walking on the stairs. The door slightly opened with a loud, eerie creak, as a glowing, green eye appeared from the shadowy inside of the gazebo. The eye peeked around then hooked its glance at Ronnie’s neutral face.
“ Ronnie? “ The door fully opened. Redjackal gazed at her. “ What do you need? “ She asked, her red-ish, white coat slightly appearing behind the door.
Ronnie scoffed and tipped her head down, trying to remember what Jadekinse said. Ronnie tipped her head up like she was ready to speak.
“ Has… Donna fully saw the wolf that the rumors have.. —said? “ Ronnie tilted her head, making a tight expression, hoping that Redjackal could answer normally with no hesitation.
Redjackal squinted down at her, then shifted glances left and right. “ Ah, no. Well, — maybe. Why ask? “ Ronnie’s anxiety started to race through her body faster than ever. If she mentioned Moon Pack, she’d be gone.
“ I’m Waiting for a response, Ronnie. If you've been escaping for this random protest of PEACE, i will give you a — SECOND, CHANCE. “ Redjackal said. Ronnie looked at her and took a soft exhale. “ Thank you, Jadekinse form the Moon pack — “
“ EXCUSE ME? “ Redjackal interrupted, her face furrowed with anger and her eyes narrowed at Ronnie.
“ What? You said I could have a second chance! So, deal with it! “ Ronnie snapped back, the Rainwolves from the treetops and vine webs spectating the scenery.
Redjackal gave her a low growl and shoved her angry face into her’s.
“ NEVER, TALK BACK TO YOUR LEADER. “ She barked at her, looking offended. She stepped out of the treehouse, showing her large appearance. Ronnie stepped back. The RainWolves from the treetops formed sounds that made her embarrassed or watched from every place.
“ She’s gonna be exiled~! “ A RainWolf teased from one of the treetops.
“ That's Ronnie! The wolf who has been leaving the jungle! I heard she’s been suspicious of the jungle lately. “ A voice that sounded so young made Ronnie feel even more embarrassed. Redjackal looked at her furiously and high-tempered.
“ Ronnie, You know you are worth this pack — AND SO IS EVERYONE, ELSE. “ RedJackal exclaimed at her with a loud tone, loud enough to wake up the SeaWolf Pack.
Redjackal sounded like an angry mother, even worse than Ronnie’s mother, but Ronnie can handle Redjackal’s voice slightly well with a bit of sad hesitation.
A tear had slipped out of Ronnie’s left eye, she wiped it off immediately to not embarrass herself infront of wolves. She felt like she was being yelled at by a principal, ready to expel her.
“ Look, I…I’m a part of a group that is filled with different wolves! Okay?! Don’t exile me! I was forced to! “ She retreated. She pinned her ears timidly and ducked her head aside, giving a submissive gesture.
“ WHAT?! “ Redjackal exclaimed again, she yelled louder than her usual loud, angry tone.
“ REDJACKAL, I WAS FORCED TO. “ Ronnie snapped. Redjackal had made a gesture that Ronnie recognized worryingly. She heard pawsteps surrounding her from all places. she swiftly turned her head to the clamoring pawsteps, out from the bushes and trees came silver armored guards with diamond shaped silver chest plates.
Ronnie growled at the guards, seeing if it would have any effect, but it didn’t.
As soon the guards got closer to her, Ronnie would figure a way to escape. She inspected and searched for routes that would lead her to freedom, but they were filled by the guard’s head as they came closer. Ronnie panicked and moved in-place like a cat trying to catch a laser dot.
Ronnie growled louder, while Redjackal and the RainWolves on the treetops would spectate the scenery, but no effect would obviously do to the guards. One of the guards pin her, and then the other guards would grab chains that looked like thick “handcuffs” but even more stronger upgraded and were for a different use.
“ LET ME GO! '' Ronnie declared, the guards seized her body and tail, and chained her limbs and muzzled her mouth. One of the guards, he was a red, ruby armored guard instead. He had a bigger chest plate, and he wore a knight helmet and looked like the coach of the original guards. The guard was holding a needle with red juice inside, he injected it into Ronnie, her vision turned blurry in all corners in her eyes, she felt desperately demotivated, and her body was malfunctioning like dying plants. Her eyes slowly closed, she was now dead?
Hard bumpy floor, caged wolves and caged up RainWolf. Ronnie blinked, and blinked until she could see clearly. She struggled to stand up, a static feeling raced through both of her legs. She let out a suffering bark. It felt like her legs were severely paralyzed. The static had risen up to her hips, she couldn’t stand up anymore and gave up with a plop on the ground.
She raised her head, she was in a stone, rocky prison with an obsidian bar door all the way to the right, and a rectangular windowed bar on the left that connected to the door.
Her legs were still stained by the static feeling. But her good limbs were still in use. She stood up to her arms, and had to walk around like a slug. She walked on her arms to the bar door, dragging her paralyzed legs behind her.
She peeked through the bar door, seeing glimpses of caged wolves with the same room as hers. The prisoned wolves she saw through the bar door were asleep, but she pressed closer to the door, seeing other wolves awake throughout the row. She could hear chatting across the row. She wanted to investigate, but being caged up was extreme and hard to escape quietly without a trace.
“ Everyone is prisoned? Am I prisoned? “ Ronnie murmured to herself. She glanced up at the stone-carved roof. It was all uncomfortable everywhere. There were no beds, and no outside. No fresh air and no light. Except the dim rays that entered through the back rectangular barred window. Shining down on poor Ronnie.
“ Jadekinse? Hello? “ Ronnie echoed out, but no response except hooked side glances from awaking wolves from their sleep in the cells.
“ Ronnie? “ A deep female voice burst from Ronnie’s left. She turned her head to the voice as she heard constant quiet ruffles from the left side.
Ronnie pressed her ear to the wall, hearing more clamor noises from the other prison.
“ Ronnie! I know this is you! “ Ronnie canceled her ear away from the wall, and perked her head up with wide eyes, recognizing the female voice.
“ HARPER? “ She swiftly inspected the wall, darting her head all over the place like a dog seeing its owner, waiting for a response from Harper.
“ Why are you in prison?! Wait, DID YOU? —I”
“ NO! I’m not prisoned! “ Harper said sharply, “ Donna saw you get arrested, that’s why I’M here to burst you out. “ She ended with a rough cough. Ronnie’s excitement had raced her face to her tail when she heard the word escape. She heard that the penitentiary in the jungle never gave food to their prisons and beverages for 2 weeks. Since there were so many incidents that the RainWolves caused most, the place was semi-infested with unarrested criminals until they were sentenced to actual death waiting for them to die permanently.
“ Ronnie, I need to tell you something, “ Harper said sharply, ending with an aggressive exhale. “ I NEVER SET UP A PLAN TO LET YOU ESCAPE I-I’M SORRY —”
“ WHAT?! “ Ronnie exclaimed quietly, she had to lower her tone to prevent the guards from coming and the noisy spectators. “ YOU HAVEN’T SET UP A PLAN? AND WHY AREN’T YOU ARRESTED?! “
“ IT'S BECAUSE I HAD TO DISGUISE MYSELF AS A GUARD?! OKAY?! NOW SHUSH – “
“ ..Why are you hiding from me if you're disguised as a guard? “ Harper loomed out of her hiding spot, revealing her full coat, just covered with constable clothing.
“ Better? “ Harper said.
“ They really let you in like that? No RainWolf is red. “ Ronnie protested.
“ It’s because your guards are stupid, and they let me in without trying. One of them looks fat anyways — “ Ronnie let out a quiet chuckle that echoed the cell.
“ But we have to get back quickly, " Harper said. “ I heard the rumor spreading around in the jungle. A black wolf? Like, roaming suspiciously around the jungle? “ Ronnie nodded. “ You RainWolves are very protective over your home. “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAwQc78RTUyj
“ Well, none of us are, it's just Redjackal is the one who is an overprotective horse. “ Replied Ronnie. “ But can you atleast get me out? Then, we can explain more. “
Harper analyzed the ceiling bar, looking for routes and solutions to let Ronnie escape.
“ Don’t you have a key to burst me out? “ Ronnie said.
“ Sadly, NO, because I wasn't assigned to become one. I just snuck into the clothing dorm and found an outfit.”
“ By the way, the door is made out of obsidian. “
“ UGH. “ Harper cried. She opened her mouth and stabbed her mouth onto the bar door, her snout biting the bar as she pulled like a dog tugging a chew toy away from its owner.
As Harper was biting the bars, Ronnie looked for ways to escape, the noises from behind were making her anxious about the guards coming. She wanted to warn her, but didn’t want to be a part of any serious crime situations like always and now.
Ronnie side-glanced at the window rectangular bars. Then she turned around, and inspected the cell for any useful environment. But the cell was empty. Everything, except for the food bowl and water blue that were color coded.
“ How do you — get — OUT?! “ Harper kept tugging on the bar door until she managed to find a dent and probably show off her teeth to Ronnie.
Ronnie pointed at the empty bowls, Harper glanced at it, then looked at every window bar in the cell. “ What? “
“ I can throw it at the bar? Do you have anything in your brain when it comes to this? “ Ronnie said. She grabbed the food bowl, but she turned back at Harper, not wanting to make a loud, clamoring sound, attracting the real guards to come.
“ STOP RIGHT THERE! “ A nerdy male voice yelled far from the right of the row of prisoners. Harper turned to her left, and so did Ronnie with her face pressed to the bar door.
“ Oh paws, — The guards are here! “ Harper whispered sharply at Ronnie.
“ Then run! DO SOMETHING! HURRY! “ Ronnie replied back aggressively. A wolf charged at them and stopped when he arrived. His appearance was big, and taller than the girls. He was a chubby wolf, pastel-blue arms and a white primary with a blue secondary and a blue tortoise shell marking on his back. It reminded one of Ronnie’s color-shifting-expression-thingy.
Ronnie’s coat began to slowly change markings and colors depending on the expression and act she was.
“ This was the fat wolf I was talking about. “Harper whispered, pressing her head slightly on the bar door for Ronnie to hear.
“ Are you a guard? “ The chubby constable wolf asked Harper.
“ What do you think? “ She protested. She gestures her eyes down at her outfit like his but more thicker.
“ Oh. Okay. “ The wolf answered in an odd, slightly high pitched way that made the girls chuckle. The chubby wolf began to walk away.
Harper turned her bursting face at Ronnie. “ What was that all about? — I mean, he is stupid and so are the guards “guarding” the penitentiary. “
“ RIGHT! “ Ronnie giggled, making herself fall backwards like a hyena.
“ But I need you to get out here quickly before it turns DawnPaw. ” Harper continued to bite on the bar door. Some prisoners were awakened by the struggling constant noises Harper created a dozen times.
“ Get us out of here too! “ The first prisoner said. He played with his orange, collared suit.
“ Me too! “ The second prisoner chimed in. Harper rolled her ears grumpily as she continued. She let go of the bars, slightly flunging her backwards but managed to catch herself.
“ I’ll keep on biting the bars, can you atleast help me or SOMETHING? “ Harper suggested, Ronnie nodded with an annoyed face.
Harper tugged on the bar door backwards and Ronnie had to slam herself to the door, causing herself to severely get bruises by the most spot she slammed herself in.
After a dozen bites and slamming, the door finally managed to burst open.
CHAPTER. 33
RUN AWAY WITH TRAUMA
120Please respect copyright.PENANAWUxFnv2440
Alarms lined separately on the ceilings went off, rays of red reflected objects and the wolves with constant loud buzzing sounds. Sounds of pawsteps multiplied, soaking up the hall. Guards sprinted towards Harper at maximum speed, wolves panting and shouting. Harper exchanged glances with the guards, she turned towards Ronnie worryingly.
Harper sprinted into the cell, and jumped, quickly stabbed her teeth into the bars, tugging on the window bar.
“ HURRY! BARRICADE THE WALLS AE SOMETHING! RONNIE! “ Harper protested, Ronnie panicked, studying nervously around the cell for any useful environment that is big enough to barricade the entrance.
Prisoners from across the penitentiary halls were spectating the intense scenery as if they were a part of it. Some made an entertained face. Ronnie grabbed the small, empty bowls from the cell left corner and stacked them in front of the entrance. The guards were coming closer and closer as Ronnie panicked more.
“ WAIT, USE YOUR POWERS RONNIE! “ Harper strengthened her tugging, the bar windows blew out faster, as more radiant light beamed into the cell floor. Harper gestured quickly outside, Ronnie sprinted and squeezed herself out the standard window. Harper pushed Ronnie out, as soon the guards entered the cell, Harper managed to leave without a trace.
Falling slowly, falling straight down. Harper opened her eyes, a loud dramatic shriek was coming from her right. She saw Ronnie screaming for her life, Harper turned her body downward and saw the surface looming closer as they got closer.
“ HOW HIGH WERE WE?! “ Ronnie exclaimed at Harper.
“ WE WERE AT THE TOP FLOOR AND—WE'RE GONNA DIE! “ Harper’s face felt like it was going to come off completely. Then she exchanged her glance at Ronnie. “ WAIT, USE YOUR SHURIKENS AND SCOOP A UP BUNCH OF GRASS CLOSER TO US! “ Ronnie looked down at the upcoming surface worryingly.
“ If—I—Can—study it! “ A ring of crystal shurikens appeared around Ronnie’s body, she struck them to the surface and yanked herself back, yanking the shurikens resulting with an island of the surface. She focused back on the shurikens and elevated them closer until they landed flat with an aggressive thump.
Harper groaned and so did Ronnie. Ronnie struggled to get up and resume to safety while Harper did the same. The shurikens slowly conquered them down to the surface.
With determination not to die, the wolves landed safely. Harper was wobbling slowly, her eyes looked wonky in a way that made Ronnie look unsatisfied.
“ I'm — gonna throw up…” Harper warned. Ronnie broke free out of her dizziness and trotted away from Harper. w
“ Atleast go private! “ Cried Ronnie. Harper stormed away timidly, she maintained herself while walking into a clump of bushes. Gagging noises were created immediately from the bushes.
“ Disgusting! “ Ronnie said sharply, dipping her head away from the sick noise. She heard a ruffle from a bush behind her, a gap of darkness above the bushes and trees stained with the darkness. A bush shook itself slightly from her right, then teased its way to her left.
“ Who’s there? “ Ronnie echoed. No response came, except a black tail exposing its way to the right bush.
“ Ronnie, I'm — here. '' Harper loomed out of the bush behind her. Ronnie didn’t like the way that she was skipping heartbeats every second a noise was forming occasionally.
She turned around, startled. “ Don’t startle me like that! “
“ ugh.. “ Harper struggled to walk towards Ronnie, but she slowly fell then fell completely.
“ Are you that motion-sick? “ Ronnie said. No response came again except constant singing birds sang from above. She rotated her focus to the bushes. She hadn’t realized the teasing ruffling had stopped. She didn’t like silence but had the urge to melancholy say “ The silence is so loud. “ The bird’s constant chirping made her feel kind of worse.
She turned to Harper’s lying body and nudged her until she woke up.
“ Wake up. You’re fine. “ She said. Harper slowly turned her head at her.
“ W–what? “
“ We need to go find Donna and see if she has seen the black wolf. Then we bring the descriptive evidence to Jadekinse, —”
“ Why?” Harper interrupted. Ronnie glared at her with a are-you-serious-right-now glare.
Ronnie started with a brief, long exhale. “ Jadekinse has a heavy suspicion of this wolf. So we have to bring the evidence to her to see if she actually has a random wolf from her pack, roaming around in our jungle.”
“ Let me guess…Shadecrow? “ Harper interjected.
“ Who on paws is Shadecrow? “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAywNj0FEfDO
“ Jadekinse’s most suspect in her home.” She fidgeted with a single bar pole from the door. Then the ruffling noise emerged from the bush behind them. The wolves brought their attention to the bush behind them. As more of the noise formed constantly, the wolf’s expression became more worried and anxious.
“ Tell me it's a cat, right? “ Said Harper slowly taking several steps back. Ronnie shook her head and did the same after.
As more and more ruffling noises emerged constantly from the bushes, the closest bush shook. The wolves startled, shrieked and sprinted out of the place for their lives as a humongous black figure revealed from the bush, watching the wolves run with locked fear and trauma.
DawnPaw started, the wolves kept running until they stopped at a length that satisfied them. The wolves stopped at a long, empty road lined with evergreen trees and rows of power lights hung above the trees, one of the black long wires suspiciously dangled.
With breathless air. Heavy panting, Ronnie exchanged her terrified expression to Harper, shaking her head like she never wanted to be in that situation again.
“ Was that the black wolf?..” Asked Harper. Ronnie nodded, furrowing anxiously at the dangling wire, inferring it was going to explode. She focuses on Harper again and her lava-colored eyes and coat.
“ I think it was. But I hope they won’t track us down on the way to the Jungle. I’m pretty sure Donna has seen the wolf by now. “
“ No, it had to be the black wolf! Or it could just be a small mammal.” Harper cried. Ronnie looked straight at the road, a white fog cutted out the rest far away.
“ Well, let’s just get to the forest and then..Maybe we can tell Donna if she has seen the wolf? —”
“ You escaped prison, you dummy. '' Harper said. “...And, the cops are onto us until we find a safe place to stay. Invading the MoonPack camp isn’t a good place or else the tables will turn. “ Ronnie widened her eyes, startled.
Ronnie stares forward at the road determinedly. She sprinted straight, Harper followed, and soon, the wolves will either be in freedom or despair.
She took directions quickly and sharply, Nature systems and trees that Ronnie had recognized tremendously. The trees that lead to a shadowy, black portal. An entrance that was like her end, but a jungle filled pastel rainbow-color coated with wolves that disliked her including her leader.
She and Harper entered the shadowy portal, she continued but Harper paused as they first got there.
“ Slow, —down! We need to hide! “ Harper said breathlessly. Her back drooped down as she continued walking. Ronnie looked behind her.
“ Well, I'm not carrying you! “ She barked and fully glared at you offensively.
“ THEN HAVE FUN BEING ARRESTED AGAIN. –”
“ FINE! “ She swooped her back under Harper’s belly as she gripped her claws into Ronnie’s shoulders.
“ Let go of your claws. “ Ronnie barked sharply. Harper canceled her gripping and continued looking forward. She exchanged glances from left to right; no wolf was there. She knew that RainWolfs were mostly on the treetops. But none were observed by her eyes. She guessed that the coast was clear.
“ Clear. “ She called. Ronnie pinned her ears and slightly turned her face at Harper, but not too hard to make her fall.
“ Where do we hide? “
“ Nowhere! Just look for Donna! “ Said Harper.
Ronnie dashed and took directions that led to Donna’s den. But since the jungle was too big, the wolves had to catch scents of her. Donna barely goes out ever since the rumor was spread, but she HAS to be out here.
“ No sign. '' Ronnie said wryly. Harper pinned her ears in stress.
“ Well, do you recognize any paths? Or..Like..Trees — ANYTHING? “ She barked.
“ NO! We’re LOST. “ Snapped Ronnie. A shadowy thick gap was in front of them. Tall bushes covered the appearance, but the wolves could still see it.
The gap was still there, the inside looked too creepy to be observed fully by the wolves. But it was no choice, Ronnie had lost her way to Donna’s den and she was being tracked down by the guards. But Harper says they're stupid and dumb. The cop she met at the penitentiary was dumb, but she still suspects that the guards will catch her tail and her unfinished–yet plans.
The gap had hooked Ronnie into investigating. Ronnie glared at it for a long moment, she gently brought Harper down to the surface so she could see. She exchanged her hooked glance at her. She made gestures, ‘think if we should go in’ kind of head movements.
“ What? NO! I–I mean it might be a trap; but do you recognize it? '' Harper said. Ronnie shook her head. “ Well, no. “
She darted face towards the gap that looked like it led to another jungle but darker.
“ WE’RE GOING INN! “ Ronnie leaped into the bushes like a deer. Her body had faded away into the bushes like erased fog.
“ RONNIE, NO! “ Harper chased after her as her body was soaked up by the bushes that covered the gap entrance.

CHAPTER. 34
A LOCKED AREA.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnZeqXp64vm
The wolves paused on their paws. They were surrounded by curtains of waterfalls that showered harmless, fog and white steam and in the middle were a small hill of sprouting humongous kapok trees and cecropia trees ringed around each kapok tree that were 10 times the size of the two wolves. Murky ponds were lined around the corners with dozens of lily pads. Huge streaks of rivers were lined along below the waterfalls, leading inside the bundle of kapok trees and surrounding grown Filicinophyta ferns and epiphytes were scattered and bundled everywhere around the dome of the waterfalls.
No mammals were spotted in the jungle except the two wolves.
“ Woah. Where are we? “ Ronnie said. She observed the place fully.
“ I have no idea. But whatever you walked into looks..Relaxing. “ Harper chimed, satisfied. The showering noises of the waterfalls copied the rivers as well. The wolves began to explore the place.
“ No animals are here. Strange. This seems like a place that many animals would live. “ Harper said.
“ Yeah. “ Ronnie chimed. 120Please respect copyright.PENANA3atXkEB1JG
“ Shouldn’t we find Donna before it turns —MoonPaw? “ Said Harper. “ And, does the wolf ever strike or…Murder anyone at night? Because I know that probably every villain strikes at midnight. “
Ronnie glared at her surprisingly. “ WELL, – ABOUT THAT…”
“ So wolves do “ disappear “ at MoonPaw? “ Said Harper.
“ yes..”
The waterfalls began to continue on with the showering noise as the river streamed liquidly. The wolves entered the hill of kapok trees and the cecropia trees in the center. There was a huge gap that led to a lionizing crystal, secured inside of transparent metal under a display.
The wolves investigated the secured crystal and analyzed the crystal all over.
“ Is this the Moonstone? “ Ronnie guessed.
“ No, the Moonstone is far. Farther but nearby camp. But I don’t know what this is. “ Replied Harper. The crystal slowly progressively shines brighter. The wolves squint their eyes to prevent the brightness.
“ Is this… Like a crystal piece of…Something? “ Said Ronnie, continuingly circling the crystal as Harper followed.
“ Wait, “ Harper stopped firmly. “ I read a book about the prophecy story, they mention a blue crystal that unlocks a lost.. Continent. Could this be it? Could Jadekinse be right?
“ What do you mean? Ronnie asked wryly. “ Jadekinse is never right! “ Harper glared at her offendedly.
“ She is. Any prophecy story book is real. Well; if it is. I’ve been researching dozens of times if any prophecy story book is real, and it is; I didn’t just find it immediately. But the book I read did say and I quote, “ Waiting darkness, waiting doom. The lost continent needs three moons. “ She looked at the ground for a moment. Then she looked at Ronnie. “ Three crystals..Three nights, will unleash the daughter of light. “ Ronnie’s expression became hooked in the quote. “ Bring me the crystals, to unleash family and life. “ Harper glared at her deeply.
“ Woah. What if I'm the daughter of light? “ Ronnie said. Harper’s expression disappointingly changed.
“ You're not. Probably never. I don't even think your special anyways –”
“ HEY! “ Ronnie barked. “ I have the best power in the group! “ She flexed.
“ Who cares. And we need to get back home. But you escaped prison — so it's.. Well, “
“ Complicated, I know. Tell the group I won't be here tomorrow.” Ronnie said. Harper struck an offended glare at her.
“ WHAT?! NO you won’t! “ Exclaimed Harper.
“ How THEN? “ Ronnie snapped. Harper’s expression softens but still furious and wrong.
Harper started, “ Well, “ She dipped her head shyly. “ You can…Stay in the MoonPack. — Look! Can’t you change colors? “ Ronnie nodded.
“ Blend in with the wolves! Y’know. “ Harper interjected.
“ I change depending on my feelings. Like, when I'm sad, I change blue. “ Ronnie replied.
“ Oh, so your color..coded? “ Harper said.
“ Kind of. “ Replied Ronnie. She sat down. The two wolves exchanged they’re glances to the stone. The crystal’s glow pulsed and the crystal shook in a circle. The wolves startled, got up and backed away.
“ Did it just move?..” Ronnie said.
The stone responded with another shake.
“ LEAVE. “ Harper ordered with a lack of fear. The wolves dashed like rabbits, leaving the place faster than ever. The stone began to shake faster until it cracked. Escaping souls of pure-white glow grew immediately brighter. The rays of light would enter through anything and the kapok and cecropia trees broke down into ashes and so did the ferns, dissolving into ashes and specks of glitter dust levitated in the hot air. As the glow strengthened more and grew more into a full tsunami, it started invading and staining the jungle, and destroying the trees.

CHAPTER. 35
DESTRUCTION STRIKES IT’S PATH.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFwSfmnFvuk
“ RUN! “ As Harper warned, sprinting across the attacked jungle with Ronnie, taking directions and warning RainWolves doing their invaded business by her. The wolves turned around to see the conflict and many gasps and shrieks had been made by them.
The tsunami of light had swallowed half of the jungle. Mammals that had been caught had been dissolved into ashes without notice, kits and grown RainWolves were too.
“ RUNN!!” A RainWolf shrieked with fear.
The sprinting RainWolves ran with Harper and Ronnie. Shrieks and scared expressions were stained on the wolves as they ran for their lives away from the light. Trees disappearing and surfaces burning with pure white fire, swallowed by pure light. Tree houses and homes and dens were collapsing to the ground. Wolves lose their lives without notice, and so do mammals and pets. The light was never heaven.
“ EVERYONE, FOLLOW ME! “ Harper ordered. She screamed so loud, voice cracks had created in her sentences constantly. The wolves darted after her one-by-one, taking curved directions that determined the wolves to not throw up. Ronnie had looked behind her, the light had fully swallowed her home. Her family, her unemployed friends. But, Donna. Did she make it?!
DONNA?! She exclaimed in her head.
“ DONNA!!! “ She exclaimed out loud while looking behind. No sight of her had been observed as the void of light had swallowed the jungle. While running with the trail RainWolves behind Harper, some started to lose their breaths and sacrifice themselves without a reason.
Love ones were gone. Pets and children were gone. Barely any survived. Shrieks and agony had stained the traumatized RainWolves. No trees were left. The white tsunami had slowly drained and faded away, drawing and marking its grave, burning the grass to death. A brown field of dead grass.
The remaining RainWolves had to look back. They hadn’t made it to the cavern, but luckily, they made it alive.
Harper exchanged her breathless, terrified glance at Ronnie. Her coat was now a dark, purple-plum with green parrot eye markings around her eyes and with green leg stripes and tail. She’d fight her glare back at her incredulously, making Harper defeat her spaced-out stare.
“ Sorry. “ She said. Ronnie rolled her eyes and spectated the fallen grave of the Tsunami Light and where the grass was dead, had marked in a large field of plains. Nearby the “jungle”.
“ What about our Jungle?! “ A Rainwolf said, panicking and observing shockingly at the decomposed jungle. Harper glanced at him back and gave him a smirk. “ Let’s tell the packs. We cannot live without another. “ She spun around and ran as she turned her head at the standing Rainwolves and Ronnie.
“ Follow me! “ She ordered. The half-pack of remaining Rainwolves followed her and Ronnie. They took paths that curved impenetrable but determined the wolves not to throw-up.
“ Over here! “ Harper dashed and disappeared into a gateway of trees to the left, RainWolves on the way back got lost but were told by Ronnie.
“ Hurry! “ Ronnie rushed and gestured her head back, making the clump of discarded RainWolves follow her.
But Donna, where had she gone? SHE CAN’T BE DEAD?! PLEASE! She exclaimed in her head once again.
She whirled around and followed into the gateway of trees to the left, the RainWolves chased her and immediately caught up with her scent.
Ronnie and the RainWolves bundled in a hollow, dark tunnel of hollow berry bushes that camouflage them so clearly. But it was too small, so a few RainWolves huddled on the treetops above them.
Someone was making too much ruffling noises above. Harper looked up annoyingly and snarled at the wolf who was making the constant noise. “ SHUT. UP. “ She snapped sharply so fiercely the victim almost fell clumsy off the tree.
“ What do we do? “ Ronnie asked her. She glanced at her then glared into the empty peaks that the bushes didn’t cover. A gray MoonWolf came out the almond doors, but it wasn’t Jadekinse.
“ That looks like Windbreaker. “ Ronnie pointed out. Her coat changed her original appearance.
Another wolf came out, but it still wasn’t Jadekinse or any recognizable comrades from the group. Four wolves exited out the almond doors, the RainWolves watched their movement like owls each wolf left.
“ Is THAT, Jadekinse? “ Ronnie protested eagerly. Harper snarled, “ NO, — or..Is it? “ The victim was a green wolf and had the exact shades of color as Jadekinse’s coat. Except their markings were an avocado shell color. But for some reason, he was wearing an antler headband.
“ He’s wearing.. A headband? What on paws? “ Harper said in a puzzled southern accent while eyeing on him.
The constant ruffling noise invaded again, Harper looked up at the treetops, but the familiar sound was nearby on the surface instead. She’d press her ears slightly in mid-air to hear the noise. It was coming from the left and she snarled at the noise, resulting with a whimper and a scared victim.
Donna, please don’t die. I wish you were still here.
Ronnie’s head frantically wished again in a soft tone.
I won’t let us RainWolves down, the four moons NEED us. If our breed goes extinct, there won't be peace after all.
The almond doors bursted open again, the wolves darted their eyes to the doors like an opening gacha. This time, it was Jadekinse.

CHAPTER. 36
A CHANCE OF DREAD PENALTY
120Please respect copyright.PENANARkCteqLXmt
Harper’s ears perked up higher than ever and leaped out of the tunnel of bushes. Jadekinse yelped and jumped back like a startled cat with her back arched.
“ HARPER! “ She exclaimed, but since she knew it was her comrade. So it wasn’t too loud and kept at a sharp volume. “ W-what are you doing? “
Harper turned back and perked her head up, making a calling bird chirp that made Ronnie pop out of the bushes, along with the RainWolves and the others with their heads popping out.
Jadekinse’s face was surprised, but also terrified. “ WHAT– ON MOONS?! “ This time, it wasn’t at a decent volume. SO loud that wolves inside the palace wanted to investigate badly.
“ SHHH. “ Harper warned viciously . Jadekinse slowly took a step back with her position in an offended pose.
“ Jadekinse, we need to tell you something, I know this is weird, but please listen. “ Ronnie said.
“ No-no-no. Is this the whole RainWolf pack? I NEED TO GO TO TRAINING! “ Jadekinse interrupted questionably, glaring puzzlingly at every Rainwolf below and above.
“ Why alone? “ Ronnie asked.
Jadekinse replied with a shrug.
“ YES. THEIR JUNGLE HAS BEEN DESTROYED! '' Harper replied sharply. Jadeknse’s eyes widened frantically.
“ Destroyed? “ Jadekinse echoed, leaning her head closer to Harper.
Every wolf nodded except her.
This can’t be true. RainWolves NEED to exist! IF THEY’RE GONE, NO PEACE WOULD BE INSTALLED IN THIS CONTINENT ANYMORE. But, is Donna safe?! She exclaimed in her head, making her want to ask more unsafe questions repetitively
“ Is—Donna safe? “ Jadekinse asked with a stained look of terror. The wolves shrugged their shoulders except Harper and Ronnie. But Harper’s face looked mournfully worried. Jadekinse felt off as her expression softened. It felt like the trees looked like they were spectating her from every direction. Every tree. Like InfernoWolf eyes, glaring at her private conversation with the wolves.
She focused her scared glance at Harper. “ I don’t.. —Here, let’s see if Sakura can let us talk. She’s mostly trusted with any wolf breed. But I hope InfernoWolves will be accepted. She left the wolves and pushed through the almond doors yawning wide, leaving Harper’s expression now offended.
The wolves stood there, thinking she was going to come back.
“ Are ya comin’? “ Jadekinse poked her head out of the doors, giving the wolves an incredulous look.
The wolves followed her into the palace, the RainWolves felt frantic about entering an unrecognizable territory and mostly entering into their camp. So they acted prepared and protected each other like their protectees one-by-one.
“ Guys, Sakuras’ trusted with you guys too. “ She glanced behind herself and the swift RainWolves dashing their eyes everytime they heard a sound. “ But hopefully you, Harper.” Her face was more offended as she included her name in those types of sentences.
MoonWolves stopped talking at once as they saw the different wolf breeds except Jadekinse. The group tried to not act shy and just go with it neutrally. The MoonWolves eyed their eyes on them like great-horned owls and their wide eyes looked like owls too.
“ Who’s that? “ A MoonWolf pointed out sternly.
“ INFERNOWOLF! RAINWOLF! AHHH! “ Another exclaimed and ran in circles then ran upstairs to multiple levels for their lives.
Then whispering started, the MoonWolves were sending whispers like cord systems communicating with one another.
The whispering erupted louder and Sakura’s face boomed with annoyance as she sat on top of her bedroom dorm with ceilings and slabs of oval rocks.
“ SHUSH. “ Sakura roared. The whispering stopped frantically and the MoonWolves listened to her like low-dumb servants.
Sakura fixed her queen-look face onto the unfamiliar wolves (except Jadekinse. ) “ Who is this? You’re supposed to be training, Jadekinse.“ Sakura asked, analyzing the wolves, seeing if their personality would be compatible with the pack.
“ The RainWolves’ jungle was destroyed. “ Jadekinse reported frantically with her head timidly ducked.
Sakura’s eyes widened. “ D…Destroyed?. “ She buried her face into her paws with disbelief.
“ No. It can’t be! H-How did this all happen?! “ She questioned altogether. Jadekinse tried to clarify what she said Then nodded and looked at her, looking like she was ready to give a day-long speech.
But before she’d start, she closed her mouth and glanced at Harper beside her.
“ How did it happen?.. “ She whispered to her.
Harper’s eyes shifted blankly to her. “ O-oh, uhm. Me and Ronnie…” She sighed and ducked her head down in stress. “ Ronnie got arrested, “ Jadekinse’s eyes suddenly widened.
“ Arrested? –” 120Please respect copyright.PENANAkYetxEWaEp
“ Then I saved her because I saw her get arrested. Then we got off track of finding the suspect you needed because RONNIE, “ She glared behind her. Ronnie responded with a confused glare.
She focused back at Jadekinse. “ Saw another jungle that led into another jungle then randomly we found a light crystal and it exploded and it destroyed; the trees, the grass, mammals, and..I..Too much. “ She said swiftly. Jadekinse’s ears slowly pinned down.
“ Oh my moons. “ She said. “ What? Destroyed the whole jungle? “ The Rainwolves nodded behind her.
She turned around the heard audience.
“ AND YOUR ALL DEPENDING THIS ON ME?! “ Jadekinse shouted as she stood up defensively. All the wolves stammered a step back. She shouted so loud some wolves ran upstairs to multiple levels and hid in their dorms.
“ Jade. I–I this is WHAT it looks like. I-I-I know.” Harper cleared, taking multiple steps back until she bumped into something.
Sakura lifted her paw and stomped loudly, making a pause when something dramatically happened.
“ Everyone. “ The wolves shifted their eyes towards her like alerted rabbits. “ The RainWolves will be staying with us until we can make an alliance with Onyx and tell her to make a home for these remaining RainWolves. “ She said. MoonWolves stared at the RainWolves ominously.
Harper resumed back to Jadekinse. “ Did she hear what we said? “ She said tightly. Jadekinse focused back to her but not directly.
“ She can hear whispers. “ She answered.
“ No one is responsible for this massive occurrence of damage to the jungle UNLESS, it was touched or observed by someone else or a partner or some sort of stuff. “ Sakura said. Harper’s ears went down when she said responsible.
“ Meeting dismissed. “ She stomped her paws like an ending audience. “ We should take some rest, I’ll travel by myself to the SeaWolf Pack alone at night. “
A worried dark-gray wolf looked at her. “ But shouldn’t you need a guard? “ Sakura looked down at the noisy wolf. “ I will be alright. Worry about your own duty. “ She stepped down to the floor and trotted outside the almond-colored doors as her pink fur sprouted like blossoms and ended shortly by the doors.
The gray wolf walked worryingly to his dorm.
The remaining RainWolves looked at Jadekinse.
“ Why am I always the victim of these kinds of situations? I’m not special! “ She murmured to herself. Harper nudged her back then looked at Ronnie, she was playing with her claws.
“ Sakura didn’t say where we were sleeping. “ Said a blue-colorful pale RainWolf, walking up to Jadekinse.
“ OKAY? What am I supposed to do? I’ve been through too much already—just give me a break! “ She replied with a huge lack of stress and balling everywhere clumsy. Almost knocking over vases and potted plants.
Pawsteps emerged from behind her and she darted towards the following noise as it got louder and closer.
“ Wind? “ She said. Windbreaker came down the stair steps but stopped as he first saw the RainWolves and Harper and Ronnie.
“ Wh..What? “ He said in a long tone. He’d take a glance at all the different wolf breeds all in his camp like he’d missed a ton of stuff for decades. He exchanged his puzzled look over to Jadekinse for a useful response to what is happening.
“ Jade, what's happening? W-why are RainWolves in our camp?. “
“ Well, “ Harper started, cat-walking up to him but not romantically. “ The RainWolves’ home was destroyed so—they're here now.”
What in the world? DesTROYED?! He echoed in his head.
“ Destroyed? “ He gave her a worried and curious look. She nodded and so did Jadekinse and Ronnie.
He buried his face into his paws. Then he revealed himself with a wondrous look.
“ How? I mean.. I’M NOT VOLUNTEERING TO RECOVER THEIR HOME–”
“ No one ever said to volunteer. “ Harper said.
“ Besides, Sakura is going to ask Onyx to repair their home but in a canopy instead. So she’s letting them stay in her territory. For now. “ Jadekinse commented.
“ Wait—really? How long?“ Ronnie chimed. She flicked her spaced-out glance over to the voice.
“ Months, maybe. '' Jadekinse replied.
“ Then why are the RainWolves here? And why are you, “ Windbreaker pointed at Harper and Ronnie. “ Guys Here? “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAJYPYzWEpWG
“ We’re a part of this…Situation. '' Ronnie leaped towards him and ducked down to his ear. “ ME AND HARPER ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, KEEP IT A SECRET OR ELSE. “ She demanded quietly.
Responsible? Harper and Ronnie destroyed the jungle? Together? –But wait. That means Ronnie had sabotaged her home and she wouldn’t do that! But…Donna? He thought.

THE CONVERSATION FLUMMOXED
120Please respect copyright.PENANAyLwRLMIsJq
“ Is.. Donna around? “ Windbreaker asked. The wolves stared at him worryingly, then exchanged faces from one another.
“ No…? “ Jadekinse answered. Harper threw a furious look at Ronnie looking like it was her fault. ( Besides, she was a part of the destruction and so is Harper. But since it erupted out of nowhere, so I guess it wasn’t their fault but specifically. )
“ What? “ Ronnie asked with a lack of scared expression. She stood up with her back arched against the almond doors like a cornered cat.
“ Is DONNA ALIVE? “ Harper barked viciously that made a few RainWolves jump.
“ I don’t know..! Why are you asking me?! “ Ronnie squeaked back.
“ Hey, we might not know, or.. If the jungle was demolished entirely, then.. Rip her—I don’t know. “ Jadekinse argued in between the wolves.
“ because the “jungle”is demolished entirely. Like mostly HALF of the RainWolves SURVIVED. Their breed might be extinct at this point. And they’re herbivores except for Donna and Ronnie for some reason. “ Harper replied in a furious tone. walking up towards her. Her coat poofed as she stopped in front of her.
“Wh–It is?They are? What? “ Jadekinse questioned, whirling around to Ronnie then to Harper.
“ YES, IDIOT. “
But why? All of this nonsense is so…—Is either correct or just a book of lies. I feel like I’m in a folktale right now—but if this never HAPPENED, I guess NOTHING would depend on me. I just want to find the lost continent that my mother would tell me repeatedly. She echoed in her head.
Now it was quiet. Ronnie was laid flat down in front of the doors like a barricade and Harper just sat there and so did the rest of the wolves. A light flickered for a constant second then shut off behind them.
“ What–is this like a quiet contest now? “ Harper invaded the silence.
“ You ruined the moment! “ A RainWolf yelled in the back corner where the Lounge dorm was.
Harper rolled her eyes at the wolf and sat down clumsy. She spun around her and saw a stink bug on one of the house plants. She didn’t want to kill it or anything, she just knows better to leave stuff be unlike any other furious wolves out there.
“ How long will Onyx take to make the RainWolves’ home? “ Jadekinse asked from behind. Harper whirled around and gave her a queen-like look.
“ Well, maybe about 2 moons or 1. “ She responded.
“ IS there anything to EAT?! We’re starving here! “ A nerdy RainWolf voice complained in the back corner of RainWolves near the doors on the left.
Harper dragged her gaze to the wolf and narrowed her eyes deeply in annoyance.
“ Shut it. “ She snapped viciously like a mean guard doing orders for its queen.
The wolf whimpered as his stomach growled.
Ronnie’s expression began to roar with offense.
“ Harper, at least give them something to eat. The jungle is FULLY destroyed and WE should eat something to keep us running on our desperate bloodlines! –” 120Please respect copyright.PENANApQZEclbSnY
“ SHUT UP RONNIE!” Harper snapped at her motherly. “ Wind go get them something.“ She flicked her claws at him.
Windbreaker sighed with a lack of stress and trotted up a few levels until he stopped at the kitchen.
Why is this basically happening? He thought. I mean, we basically think that Donna either might be dead by the Tsunami Of Light, or she might be alive and don’t know where to go. I hope she is okay. Just imagine being a wild wolf out in the wild with a huge lack of integrity but no strategies on what to do. And your home is completely destroyed and you think that others might have survived!...But since she’s a RainWolf, I'm hoping she's “decently” fine about being in the forest ALONE.
He drew his head up as he arrived at the kitchen. The lights were completely off and the countertop was guarding the serene. So dark that it looked like a pitch-black dimension. But now Harper has to yell at the RainWolves to shut up about complaining about food or so.
“ Hello? Anyone here? “ He called out, inspecting the area. The counter was a mess and soup stains weren’t cleaned up from yesterday. The effort was so observable that he’d probably hundred percent guess that no chefs were doing they’re work or just slacking off somewhere. But the stains had manipulated him into an assassin's evidence.
He rang the service bell and a loud ding had shrieked from the bell.
No chefs were caught from the sound. It looked like bad luck for the RainWolves’ hunger. But there was no choice.
A stab of integrity hit him like a scorpion injecting its barb tail into his heart.
He charged into the staff doors and went into the area where the chefs would cook food for their customers.
He found pots and useful silverware scattered around the area. The darkness in the kitchen had swallowed every sighting, it wasn’t seeable at all.
A huge white ray emerged from the three oval windows. The moon was in its perfect spot. It fits perfectly in the silver markings that are drawn in the windows. The moon roared its brightest light down at the kitchen, making the place more observable.
There was a recognizable smell, it smelled kind of familiar, but he didn't want to investigate so closely.
A constant dripping noise was coming from his right. So tingly and so sharp, it sounded like a dry sewer pipe with barely any water.
Windbreaker ducked down and inspected the objects and the floor deeply to see if there was a reason the chefs weren’t doing business.
Claw marks were stained on the silverware and huge teeth-bite dents were spotted. Rotting blood ponds had traveled from the floor to countertops, blood dripping from the roof tiles.. Someone had assassinated our camp.

CHAPTER. 38
UNBREAKABLE SECRETS
120Please respect copyright.PENANARSXwDOwlTY
Windbreaker exited the area and jumped over the front countertop with his feet landing. He sprinted down the staircases all the way to the ground level.
He’d stop aggressively but so hard that he carpet-burns his front paws.
“ Ow! “ He yelped, flicking off his paws but fixed his focus to the spectating wolves.
“ I need to tell you guys something! THE KITCHEN IS.. FILLED WITH…—”
“ SPIT IT OUT ALREADY “
“ BLOOD!! “ He’d interrupt Harper.
“ What? Blood? “ Jadekinse repeated. She peered up and moved her eyes to the level where the kitchen was.
“ I can smell it from here. There is blood. “ Ronnie said, standing up. “ Guys, follow me. “ She walked up the staircases as the bloody scent led her there.
The wolves all stood up and trailed behind her in a herd.
The edges on the kitchen floor were dark. The countertops of rotting soup stains slowly began to decompose in front of them. It felt like a horror scenery of a weird background to them. But nothing stops them from finding random evidence and just determinedly revealing the useless or useful ANSWERS.
“ Over here. “ Windbreaker called. He flick his head up for a gesturing action for the wolves to follow him.
In the kitchen led the wolves into the horrified area where Windbreaker caught assassinated evidence. The late wolves observed the blood-stained silverware and cooking articles.
The wolves’ jaws all dropped all at the same time except for Windbreaker with yet, still a horrified expression. The curious RainWolves inspect the silverwares and analyze them eventually till they move around the room like scattered caterpillars consuming on leaves.
Harper growls viciously at the wolves to make them retreat back.
“ No. '' She said cautiously. The wolves stared at her and ran back to their
spots.
“ What on paws happened here?! “ Jadekinse said, analyzing the area with her
narrowing eyes.
Ronnie did the same. She fixed her focus to Windbreaker and made a face like she was about to make a long speech.
Right when Ronnie was about to talk, she darted her eyes to a dusty, and semi-crushed pale-yellow sticky note that had messy handwriting on it. Or either a semi-half written sticky note on it.
She trotted to the sticky note and grabbed it and adjusted multiple times for her to focus the messy handwriting.
“ This..Note. “ She said. She narrowed her eyes at it like she was reading it planfully. “ It says, '' Help me “ But the rest looked like it was cut off right when the victim was taken or secretly killed and taken away somewhere.
“ What is it? “ Windbreaker asked from behind. He would peer behind her on the right, leaning his head to the sticky note.
Ronnie looked at him and passed the sticky note to him directly. He squinted his eyes to read the handwriting.
“ It says “ Help me. “ Ronnie answered.
Windbreaker peered his head up at her, and then down to the sticky note.
The wolves gathered behind him like they wanted to see.
He spun around strictly, “ Guys it just says “ Help me “ It’s not that important! “ He cried, glaring roughly at the stammered wolves.
“ But Jadekinse can read handwriting. "said Harper as she looked at her wrongly. “ Can you? “
“ Yes. Even if it's messy. “ Jadekinse responded. “ Hand me the sticky note and I think I can tell the victim. “ She held out her paw to Ronnie, waiting to give her the sticky note.
Ronnie gave her the sticky note but it was slightly getting more crushed progressively for some reason.
Jadekinse glared down at the sticky notelike she was reading it in her head faster than ever. She tipped her head up like she found the answer already.
“ It’s…Donna. “

CHAPTER. 39
FIRST VICTIM REMAINS.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAijuxfwOP3Z
“ D-Donna?! “ Every wolf said, striking themselves in an alert pose.
Jadekinse was startled and slightly jumped back. “ Y-yea.. “ Her paws were
shaking, making the note fall to the surface like fallen autumn leaves.
“ But how did she manage to write a note here?! She isn’t a MoonWolf
like you guys–” Ronnie formed a dramatic, but oddly gasp. “ WHAT IF SHE GOT KILLED HERE?! “
Windbreaker tilted her head puzzlingly like he had so many
questions showering in his head when the note was written by Donna.
“ How did she get into my camp?! “ “ How did she manage to do all of THIS? “ Windbreaker questioned, driving his head left and right.
“ I-I don’t know! I don’t want to be a part of anything! I just want to be a normal wolf. Why does this always happen and depend on me? “ Jadekinse said worryingly/
“ It’s because you're special! “ Ronnie chimed.
Jadekinse struck her with an embarrassed look. “ Well. Thanks? “
Harper perked her ears down and looked left and right. “ Wait, where are the RainWolves? “ She focused on every corner and she found all the RainWolves, piled on top of each other, sleeping peacefully.
“ But guys, LOOK. “ Windbreaker started seriously. “ We can’t LET Donna
DIE ON US! What if.. She tried to tell us about the tsunami that destroyed the jungle before us? But she kept looking for us but failed, and got.. Killed here. “
“ No, it can’t be that. “ Jadekinse walked up to him. “ All of us go to the center everyday, and I was there before this situation happened. She could be spotted immediately if she came straight through the doors at SunPaw, or
120Please respect copyright.PENANAHnrsOv7tZF
she either snuck in like all criminals and intruders do. And the situation happened at SunPaw too, so there’s no WAY she’d done that. “
Windbreaker’s face was already appalled and defeated.
“ Yeah! And Donna respects territories and boundaries that DON’T belong to her!“ Ronnie commented.
“ But I think Windbreaker’s right. '' Harper joined in, walking up to the wolves. “ Donna could possibly snuck in and find you guys, but Jadekinse, you said you were at the center right? And your pack is humongous.“
Jadekinse nodded.
“ And it’s always gotta be crowded there. So by the amount of wolves there were in the center, she couldn’t spot you in the crowd. So she went to the kitchen, and tried to find you guys there. “
“ Was the kitchen closed or open? “ Ronnie questioned.
“ Closed, duh. Why else would the lights be off in the first place? “ Harper snapped. Ronnie threw a slight offended look at her like always.
“ But, who killed her? “ Windbreaker echoed, leaning into Harper at the face.
“ I don’t know. I’m not a smart-brain. “ She replied.
“ I have suspects that are still on me for a while. It could possibly be one of them. “ Jadekinse guessed.
“ Who? “ The wolves asked.
“ Shadecrow, Avalani, Norrio, Eternal, and..Uh..Oh–Yeah– Jakarra. Weird names. “
“ Your pack has such weird names. '' Ronnie commented.
“ Shadecrow sounds like he’s done it many times. “ Harper said.
“ He’s my biggest suspect. That’s why I always think he’s the victim and culprit of every little conflict. “ Jadekinse replied.
The moonlight’s rays had been slowly shifting as time flew by. The moon was way past its spot in the oval windows, and the radiant dust that floated brightly; had been gone ever since. The palace was slightly brighter as the moon already cast its spotlight in the palace, the light had been tricking wolves. It was SunPaw already.
Wolves were opening their room doors occasionally by falling for the moon’s light trick as it went by.
The wolves were all laying down with their heads on their arms. “ We need to solve this, but we're tired. Are we capable of doing this tomorrow? “ Ronnie asked Jadekinse.
Jadekinse lifted her head up. “ I guess. “ Then she ducked it back down.
This kind of makes sense. But not at the same time. The right thing is, Donna wouldreportthe disaster to me, but directly. She couldn’t find me in the crowd. But something did– caught my eye. I guess Windbreaker’s right. She did try to find me. She thought.
A long moment was caused.
“ Are we just sleeping in this bloody place? Now when someone comes by, they’ll think we’re dead. “ Harper said, perking her head up.
“ Well, where else do we sleep? Sakura’s getting Onyx to make a canopy for us RainWolves to sleep in. “ Ronnie replied with her face buried in her arms.
“ Ronnie can sleep in my dorm. And Harper, you can sleep in Jadekinse’s dorm. “ Windbreaker suggested.
“ Wait, what about the RainWolves? “ Harper included.
“ Uhm..They.. —We can split half of them and put them in each of Wind and Jade’s dorms. “ Replied Ronnie.
“ Alright follow me Ronnie. “ Windbreaker ordered, getting up and leaving the area and kitchen. Jadekinse did the same.
“ How are we going to get the RainWolves? “ Harper said. “ I ain’t carrying any of them on my back. “
“ WELL SO AM I. “ Jadekinse barked. The two wolves looked at each other and then back at the pile of sleeping RainWolves.
“ Fine, we’ll have to carry them. “ Harper said, walking back to the palace and ducking her snout, lifting a RainWolf on her back.
“ Wow, their light. Not heavy at all. I guess they haven’t been eating in awhile. “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAjh0XcTiKSK
“ WELL WHY DID YOU YELL AT THEM WHEN THEY WERE STARVING?“ Jadekinse snapped sharply.
“ Well, complaining brats are my pet peeve. So what? “ Harper snapped back, continuingly picking up RainWolves until it was enough.
Jadekinse carried the rest on her back as Harper stood there patiently.
“ Where is your dorm? “ Harper asked.
“ Up on.. A few levels. Dorm 723. “ Jadekinse replied.
“ Ah, alright. I’ll bring the wolves to Wind and you’ll keep them in your dorm. “ Harper planned, she left the area as Jadekinse went after her. She paused like she was going to ask a question.
She spun around and looked at Jadekinse.
“ Oh, and Jade, why are some of these “doors "not doors? Like a few levels on the ground level were vine doors and after those levels were regular doors. “
“ Oh, well, we…Have our own.. Currency.. —”
“ What? “
“ I know! — I know! It's weird. It's like human life or something. But it's not my fault! It’s Sakura’s. “ Jadekinse pinned her ears slightly down.
“ But..Wolves can’t have currencies—we’re not humans! Sakura’s first ever dumb addon. “ Harper said, walking out the area along with Jadekinse.
Up the staircases and up a few levels, pass 6 rows of dorms, there, stopping Jadekinse’s dorm. Jadekinse bared her teeth wide and stabbed her teeth onto the door knob. She twisted and pulled on the door knob as it yawned open. It made a loud, investigatable creaking noise. So she had to go in quickly before a wolf came out.
As she gently set the RainWolves down near the closet corners, she had forgotten to tell Harper where Windbreaker’s dorm was. It was 616 on the first floor. The dorm PINs don’t have the owner’s names on it, so she HAD to go back to Harper JUST to tell her Windbreaker’s dorm is on the first FLOOR.
She heard a complaint from a few levels below. It sounded like Harper was struggling to find his dorm.
She heard pawsteps traveling fast up a staircase, she knew it was Harper.
The door opened behind her.
“ Jade, where is Wind’s dorm? –”
“ —ON THE first floor. “ Jadekinse responded sharply.
“ First floor?! W..What?! I was just there two minutes ago! “ Harper exclaimed. The backpack of RainWolves on her looked like it was slowly crushing her back like a bridge.
Jadekinse sighed, “ Well, hurry before these wolves wake up. –“
“ WHAT'S HIS PIN?! “
“ 616 ____ SIX. “ Jadekinse barked.
Harper threw an embarrassed expression at her. After that, she spun around and left the room.
Jadekinse walked outside and grabbed the door knob and gently shut it. The closing from the door was never quiet and it was still at a regular volume. She was always cautious of herself every time the door shuts like that.
Pawsteps started to travel away downstairs into a muffled trampling noise.
“ 616, 616. Where is it?! “ Harper said, looking above the room entrances with the pins. She already passed the left row and semi-half the right.
At the way end on the right was Dorm 616.
“ Finally. “ She entered the vine doors and she saw Windbreaker, sleeping on a moss bed and Ronnie sleeping on the floor. ( Which was somehow comfortable to her. )
She found an empty corner on her left, it wasn’t big enough but slightly okay to hide the evidence of the piled RainWolves. She set the RainWolves down and sorted them enough to not be observable from passing wolves.
A long, intermediate volume yawn boomed out her mouth. She caught herself and covered her paw in front of her mouth to prevent loud noise.
She stopped and looked over at the three window ovals. The royal silver markings drawn along the windows made her feel at ease. But the moon wasn’t there, which means it’s slowly turning SunPaw.

CHAPTER. 40
NEW SKY, NEW SHINE
120Please respect copyright.PENANACuYxzuMvtH
Harper trotted up a few levels until she stopped at Dorm 723. She grabbed the knob and pulled it to see Jadekinse already sleeping on a moss bed designed like Windbreaker’s.
Harper leaped over to her and tapped on her.
“ Where do I sleep? “ She whispered.
Jadekinse opened her mostly shown eye. “ Don’t wanna be rude, but on the floor.
Harper sighed as she curled herself to sleep on the wooden floor.
A yellow ray entered its way into the dorm. The shadows that partnered within objects had grown along the walls, avoiding the beaming sun far away.
Robins and mourning doves competed with constant singing from a standard distance. The clouds merged and whirled and did many things to make themselves blend in with the caught sun.
The two wolves still weren’t awake by now. Isn’t Pyre worried about Harper?
Harper stretched her body like a lynx, she stood but was still attached to the area that had been filled with blood.
She whirled over to Jadekinse. “ Jade? “ She called. “ Jaade. “ She sang. She tapped her and nudged her, so many failed attempts she wanted to jump kick her just to wake her up.
She stopped and stared down at her.
“ JADEKINSE! “
“ WAH! “ Jadekinse shot up into the air like a terrified cat that jumped higher than 3 feet.
“ I should have gone back home. “ Harper said. “ Pyre is gonna kill me when I come back. “ She touched her left arm with her right arm, tipping her head down passively.
“ I forgot about that. Well, is Pyre ever mean? “ Jadekinse replied.
Harper shot her a wrong-obvious look. “ DUH, SHE’S ALWAYS MEAN! “
Jadekinse laid her head back down. “ Well, uh…Does she execute anyone from being inactive from duty for a while? Like is she that mean? “
“ SHE’S TEN OUT OF TEN; MEAN. “ Harper snapped. “ She gives young student pups that grades from 1 to 5 extra HOMEWORK! Oh, and OUR MATH EVOLUTION IS INSANE. Like in kindergarten, we learn how long a 180 degree angle is. “
It sounded terrible of what Harper said and all that enthusiasm. If Jadekinse were Harper, she’d probably have much problematic integrity that spread everywhere. And Pyre probably killed her after that. But luckily, her pack doesn’t have school.
Jadekinse elevated her head up. “ Oh…Well, Sakura…Doesn’t let wolves live in her palace unless it's for a reasonable reason. Like the RainWolves kind of. And our pack doesn’t have school —“
“ BUT MINE IS A HUGE REASONABLE ONE! Pups in 5th grade have to suffer with algebra and calculus! Oh, And random geometry! “ Harper cried.
“ All of THAT?! “ Jadekinse commented. She scanned the ground and then the closet. “ Well then, can you atleast try to go home without…Having problems?”
“ Pyre is like a snake—SHE WATCHES EVERYONE WHEN THEY SLEEP. “ Harper replied. “ AND THEY’RE FINE WITH IT! “
Jadekinse sighed. “ But we need to find where Donna is, and we can’t do this without you. “
“ Pyre will come look for me any second! I’ve done too much for this group, I'm not saying I'm leaving. “ Harper said.
“ it’s impossible to complete this without you. Your like…Our..Tank in the group–”
“ HEY. “ Harper cried. “ I’M NOT FAT–”
“ I know! I’m saying like..You're strong! “ Jadekinse responded.
Harper’s expression softens slightly.
“ So does that mean I'm going home? “ She said.
Jadekinse ears went timid. “ Yes, but hopefully, paws-claws— you won't
die? “ She unsheathes her claws.
“ Hopefully. “ Harper unsheathes her claws back to her. She spun around and grabbed the knob, twisted it and left the dorm silently then ever.
I hope Harper and Donna are okay. But I’m just WILLING that Ronnie will have a chance to see Donna. And Donna will have a chance to see us. But.. If Windbreaker’s right and she WAS looking for us, who could have killed her? She thought.
But she can’t be killed!
A stab of realization shot her head like a bullet.
Or it was the suspect roaming the jungle all along.

NEW SKIES, NEW LIES
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqfRgvV7pQH
Was it REALLY, the suspect? I mean, a few reports have been spotted from the jungle. But the jungle was destroyed. So it couldn’t have possibly been the suspect if he was killed from the tsunami. But that was way before that. What if the suspect was plotting to kill my group? What if he tried to kill Ronnie and Donna and get away with it without the jungle and me noticing? But failed?
No, It could have been him. What if he survived and KILLED DONNA — then..Wait. It all makes sense now. The suspect had survived, he tracked down Donna then he followed her into the kitchen, killed her, took her corpse away without anyone noticing. Or..Would it be? If Donna got killed, she’d scream louder for wolves to come. Or either the suspect was very quiet and grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her without her noticing him.
So much What-ifs marked its place in her head then to her heart. Now she’s more than concerned about the situation and where to start. She’s hoping the suspect is dead from the tsunami, then everything would be semi-fine. But she still wonders why everything depends on her.
“ I hope he’s dead. For good. “ Jadekinse murmured to herself, staring down at the ground and then her paws.
Pawsteps clamored outside near her dorm from the left. Through the circle, the window looked like Tadano and the gray wolf disliked her for being too near him. I mean, all best friends feel left-out when their best friend is hanging out with someone.
The chattering faded away as they went by.
Jadekinse stood up and leaped off her moss bed, ready to go to the center. Where wolves would talk, and chatter and hear some useful news.
Down a-few levels, and down the last staircase. As she got closer, the constant chattering of wolves would get louder and louder until she arrived. She didn’t see Windbreaker or Ronnie coming out, but didn’t want to disturb their sleep anyway.
She saw Tadano sitting near the houseplants that sat beside the two-almond doors. He wasn’t with the gray wolf, but Jadekinse wanted to leave him alone. It looked like he was yelled at. But he just stared down, playing with his paws and occasionally his headband.
She had forgotten that Sakura had left to go tell Onyx to repair a canopy for
the RainWolves to stay in. Hadn’t the pack realized it now?
She sat near the corners where the houseplants were. She spectated the crowd talking, and moving occasionally every minute and second. She played with her paws but didn’t focus entirely.
A terrified, long scream had bursted from the left.

NEW AREA TO THEM BUT NOT US.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA8rhOGHUD09
It sounded like Kayla or one of the female chefs.
Wolves all darted their eyes upward, it looked like the noisy ones went to investigate the scenario already.
The crowd had dragged itself to the stairs and then raced up the stairs like migrating bison herds. It was impressive how no one got pushed or hurt.
Jadekinse looked over to see if anyone was left. Tadano was still in his spot, appalled and shocked with his jaw wide open like he just witnessed his first bloody death by someone else.
“ What on paws just—happened? “ He said, slowly looking over at the Jadekinse with the same expression.
“ Uh..” Jadekinse sputtered. She looked over where Windbreaker’s dorm was. She still didn’t want to disturb Windbreaker and Ronnie’s sleep.
She walked up the staircases and she progressively heard more nervous chattering from above. It got louder as she took every step until she eventually got there. She had realized she was being followed by Tadano. But everytime she turned around to look at him, he’d act suspiciously.
“ Blood is everywhere! Where is SAKURA?! “ A female voice exclaimed in panic. Jadekinse had made it there. She slowly walked up and peered her head closer to spectate the whole crowd. The wolves were all panicking and huddled, they had found the evidence.
They found the area. I didn’t tell the wolves to tell them to clean it up. Actually, it was surprising they didn’t mention cleaning the area and just stayed put with it. I guess my group is..Low IQ. Well, too rude, Jade. She thought.
“ WHAT DO WE DO?! “ A wolf sprinted everywhere and slammed their paws on the countertops like an impatient customer.
“ EVERYONE SHUT IT! “ Chef Kayla roared. The whole crowd went silent and so did Jadekinse, behind the whole crowd as Tadano slowly approached behind her as well.
Sous Chef Kanjo looked over at her cautiously “ Kayla, –”
“ Shut it Kanjo. “ Chef Kayla snapped. She regretted it afterwards since that was her love interest.
She fixed her nervous look at the whole nervous crowd. She spun her head left and right.
“ Look, I heard Sakura is going to make a..A home for the RainWolves at the SeaWolves! “ Jadekinse’s face went wrong. She had heard them.
“ But she’ll be back for like a month! So we either clean up the evidence and discuss who did it! “
The crowd began to scurry everywhere in fear.
“ Had our camp got assassinated? “ A worried female voice was questioned in the crowd.
“ WE’RE GONNA DIE! “ It was the same wolf that slammed their paws on the countertops. This time, they would self-concussion themselves against the walls. A random wolf would try to stop them by tugging them backwards.
“ GUYS! “ Chef Kayla was worried as she hovered her paws on the countertops.
The kitchen was covered in unknown blood. There were already chefs cleaning the place with a stain of fear. The thing is, who would have done it?
“ Kayla, where is Terrain?! “ Kanjo asked her immediately, scared.
“ Head chef.. T–..Terrain? “ Kayla stuttered back. She lifted her paws off the countertops slowly.
“ Could the blood be him? “ Kanjo ear’s went timid cautiously
Kayla’s face went appalled then to fury. “ It might have been him. But whoever the killer was, I WILL GRAB SAFETY PINS AND PIN THEM TO THE WALL AND INJECT IT TO HIS HEAD UNTIL IT PENETRATES INTO HIS OR HER BRAIN. “ Her expression furrowed.
Kanjo jumped back as soon she said “ it penetrates to his brain “
“ KANJO! “ A intense, worried female voice called out his name from the fixated room.
“ KANJOO! “ Another staggered, worried male voice called out his name.
“ WHAT IS THAT?! “ Another male voice had shrieked pointedly, it looked like they found something terrifying.
Kanjo spun over to Chef Kayla.
“ Get the crowd settled, the chefs in the back had found something terrifying. “ He ordered Chef Kayla.
Kayla looked at him and nodded in obey.
He stormed away into the area to investigate the terrifying article.
The crowd was progressively panicking more and scattering around more until they eventually made themselves separate. Constant yelling and screaming were combined with more until it got intensely loud than usual yelling.
Tadano had looked over to Jadekinse, preventing the loudness from his ears. “ Jade, What is going on?! “ He’d exchange looks to the crowd then with her.
“ Something. “ She replied. She shot her head up slightly.
A message. Remember.

CHAPTER. 43
REMEBER-NESS AND WORRYNESS
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3hh44HsCDP
The area.
The article that terrified the chefs.
The crowd that panicked with stained worryness.
The leader that never forgave them.
The message had sunk into her thoughts and prevented her from escaping into her real thoughts. She hoped she’d just be stuck with something that kept her in the right company instead of seeing all of this destruction. She’d guess Windbreaker and Ronnie were looking for us downstairs. But, since the crowd was SO loud, they’d come up here any second by now.
But. Wait, Sakura never forgives—US? No! It couldn’t be! She’s always kind! She thought. Or, what if she’s probably working with..Pyre? Secretly? Or..Something.
The crowd wasn’t at its usual chatter volume. It was like they’d seen their first murder in decades; kind of volume.
“ Jadekinse, they're trying to KILL themselves! Tadano said wryly.
Jadekinse shot back at him. “ I don’t know how to stop them! “ The crowd was yelling and screaming, tugging and preventing crazy depressed wolves from hitting their heads on the walls.
It felt like the scenery of a hunter, slaughtering us wolves down one by one. Or something like that.
Tadano had watched every movement the wolves had made. The constant yelling, and stressed shrieking. They’d seen crimes all the time. Why is this one so important?
“ EVERYONE! Kayla had yelled, trying to take over the shrieking wolves that kept preventing other wolves from hitting their heads on the walls.
Kanjo had come next to her, watching the growing insanity from the crowd. His face looked more than worried.
Terrified.
“ Kayla, the chefs found a CUT OF PAW! “ He informed her. Kayla’s face went amused and startled. “ A PAW?! “ She repeated, “ WHAT COLOR IS IT?! IF IT’S BROWN, IT COULD HAVE BEEN TERRAIN! “ She had lunged her head forward to him.
“ It’s..Not brown. It’s..Pink. “ Kanjo replied wryly, his ears went timid.
“ Pink? SAKURA?! —”120Please respect copyright.PENANAqAszRJ4K5V
“ N-no! Sakura is out of territory! Remember? “ He’d lunge his head back at
her slightly, he’d exchanged his worried glance over at the insane crowd of crazy.
“ KAYLA! DO SOMETHING! “ A wolf had slammed her paws and shrieked in front of her like an offended eagle staring right at her. Then she got pushed over.
Kayla sighed, and looked over to Kanjo mournfully.
“ Do you know whose paw is it? “ She asked him.
“ No! I don’t have any pink-colored friends. “ He responded wryly again. He flick his tail, and kept constantly exchanging impatient glances back at the area, hoping the other chefs were still calm by the horrifying sighting.
Jadekinse felt too guilty just to stop the crowd with one, loud noise.
She spun around and looked over articles that were loud enough to result in a shatter that ended the situation.
She saw houseplants, it would work, but would result in a mess.
Windows: Would be the same as the houseplants.
Okay, anything with glass would result in a shattering MESS. And I am NOT cleaning it up with glass blisters all over my paws! She thought.
The rows of hanging string of lightbulbs dangling above the crowd won't work either.
120Please respect copyright.PENANALuU1WiGScl
Jadekinse had to find something that wasn’t structured of glass. She had to find something like those alarms at the RainWolf Penitentiary.
But obviously she didn’t have the materials to build it and make it happen right now. She needed to make something that ended the constant commotion.
Kayla was getting tired of all the constant yelling, forming from the chaotic crowd. It’s like they had endless air in their lungs that kept them continuing to yell and scream like multiple dinosaurs with a roar battle.
Kanjo felt the same.
Kayla stared back at the crowd's commotion. She wondered if Sakura was going to punish all her warriors for this.
“ Yeah, this is NOT going well alright. “ She said, pinning her ears down timidly.
Kanjo nodded, and agreed with her and stared at the crowd’s commotion with her.
Kayla was getting tired of the commotion, it felt like her ears and eyes were going to pop just because of the loud noise. She had looked over to the service bell, she wanted to be in charge of this situation and just press the service to magically make the commotion stop like their leader.
But just one “ding” isn’t going to stop the commotion.
Jadekinse didn’t find anything that could stop the crowd’s crazy actions.
Or maybe the houseplants and windows had to be a choice after all. Jadekinse doesn’t want the whole pack to be executed except her, Right?!
She darted over to the houseplant on the left, lifted her paw and unsheathe her claws and —
Shatter.

CHAPTER. 44
MORE COMMOTION OR LESS.
120Please respect copyright.PENANArB2rvEbGiv
There, the crowd had stopped. The houseplant, dead and shattered in front of them and Jadekinse. Jadekinse had whirled behind her to see the crowd’s expression. Even the crazy, intense wolves that had been banging their heads on the walls stopped to look. Even all the chefs peered their heads to look.
The dirt had been spilled, and the leaves had been dead-caught with the spilled dirt on the ground’s surface.
Tadano gave her a wryly and cautious look, he shook his head constantly and gave her a “Don’t-do-it-or-else-your-done” gesture.
“ Uhm. “ Jadekinse said, looking at everyone. After a moment, Windbreaker and Ronnie FINALLY SHOWED UP.
“ What in the world? “ Windbreaker said. Ronnie’s jaw dropped.
Everyone stared at them. Felt to embarrassing.
“ What is.. “ Windbreaker darted his puzzled glances to the kitchen. “ Oh. OHH. “ He looked over to Jadekinse and the broken houseplant. He’d guessed that was the article that stopped all the commotion on the way he got there.
Ronnie’s jaw resumed back up.
“ Jade, they found the place! “ He whispered to her. She’d given him an “i-already-knew-that” lazy look.
“ Shoot, what if they think it’s us? “ Ronnie asked. “ Jade, we should have cleaned it up! “ She whispered sharply at her. The crowd stood in silence as they exchanged glances everytime a wolf talked.
“ I didn’t because Shadecrow’s the pack’s biggest suspect. So they’ll obviously think it's him for sure. Hopefully. “ Jadekinse replied.
“ Who is Shadecrow? “ Ronnie asked. Her eyes shined with curiosity.
“ A elderly blackwolf. He’s massively skilled at ambushing, so it has to be him. “ Jadekinse responded. Her eyes teased back at the crowd as their eyes shifted and each voice started. “ He has..I think red eyes. “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAOTM15xgpC9
“ Guys, what do we do? “ Tadano said cautiously, looking over at everyone and the chefs.
Jadekinse fixed her look toward the crowd. “ Okay, guys, “ She interjected.
“ We'll need to act normal and pretend like Sakura is here. But since she isn’t, we need to act like it’s our normal routine. So just go with it, and we’ll figure out the culprit LATER.” She had drawn herself to the middle in front of the crowd, positioning herself in a defensive position.
“ Everyone…Wait.. “ She scanned the crowd, it looked like someone was missing. She’d insist a tan wolf would fit the crowd. But, wait, Vermon. Vermon wasn’t there. Or was he just somewhere in the crowd? He’s the deputy of MoonPack—WHERE THE HECK IS HE THEN?! HE’S THE ONE THAT SHOULD STOP ALL THE COMMOTION OF THIS.!
“ Where in the—PAWS IS VERMON? '' She exclaimed. Her glance was darting everywhere for him. She knew he was a big, tan wolf, but he wasn’t spotted in the crowd. But deputies know better to not be a part of stupid–civilian—commotions like RIGHT NOW. They should be doing the LITERAL OPPOSITE.
The crowd did the same, but there was no sign of him whether in front of them, beside, or behind. He was nowhere to be seen. Possibly.
Kayla had trotted up to Jadekinse. “ But, what if Sakura had taken him to talk with Onyx? “
Jadekinse’s face softens. “ Oh, right—then maybe that could be the thing. “ She denied eye contact with her to the ground. The crowd had slowly begun to separate in boredom every time they’d talk.
“ But doesn’t Sakura usually go on missions by herself? “ Windbreaker had walked up curiously, interjected beside them.
Jadekinse shot an incredulous eyebrow glare at him. “ Well, Sakura isn’t that strong. So she possibly needed someone. “
Ronnie had joined the discussion behind Jadekinse. “ But I didn’t see Sakura go with someone right when she left. “ She struck a worried glance at them.
Jadekinse was utterly worried. And concerned and full of curiosity at the same time. A leader wouldn’t go out alone, leaving their pack with no one in-charge. They’d need their deputy to go with them if they were on a mission or something important.
But Sakura decided to go alone? Or had she got Vermon to go with her?
But, probably Sakura had got Vermon, it’s just he was already outside, waiting for her. Is it really true though? But let’s just keep our paws and hopes together. Hopefully Sakura does come back. Not dead or injured or anything. Hopefully she succeeded in the truce with Onyx and her workers. She thought.
Jadekinse had darted her head up and looked around the wolves, all around in a circle. “ Well, Sakura probably brought Vermon with her, it’s just he was waiting for her outside. “ The wolves nodded and exchanged agreed glances and separated from the circle.
She stared back at the crowd, already separated from boredom. She hadn’t noticed some wolves had already left the floor. It looked like she’d stopped the commotion. But the thing is, Is she really the wolf to stop everything?
She has been receiving constant situations that always depend on her. And she doesn’t really know what to do, until she doesn’t think of it until now. Like what’s happening and she did right now on the kitchen floor. She had broken a house plant and stopped all the crowd’s commotion instantly. But how would ONE OBJECT stop everything? Or is her pack stupid as rock-bottom snails?
She darted her head at the broken house plant. The black striped, white ceramic had been shattered like pieces of glass. It was still shaped like a cupcake as it left crumbs everywhere. The aloe vera leaves were still caught and set on the dirt’s top.
She trotted towards the broken houseplant. Glared at it until she heard a high-pitched chirp that caught her hooked attention immediately.
She had looked at the following noise. The wolves had trotted downstairs. Ronnie had looked behind her, and signaled the constant chirp that made Jadekinse’s attention to follow her down.
Jadekinse had caught up with the group as they were being followed by the wolves who were involved with the crowd commotion. Turns out it might be possibly true that Jadekinse is the wolf to stop everything.
“ Jade, I’m a bit concerned about what you did back there. “ Ronnie said to her. Jadekinse glanced back and smiled with her eyes closed. “ Well, at least it’s the right thing. Kind of. “ She replied worriedly and with a slight lack of caution.
Ronnie chuckled. “ Yeah! “ She looked back at the kitchen floor, towards the broken pot until she walked down till she couldn’t see it anymore.
“ Just hoping you won’t be executed because you broke a plant. '' She said cautiously.
Now they had stopped at some dorm floors. A couple of wolves went back to their dorms as the group walked down every level.
The wolves in front of them had already made it to the plaza. Tadano was back at his same spot. Near the left houseplant that settled on right on the edge by the massive almond doors.
His face still looked the same as it was. Worried and anxious for some reason.
The group were the last to reach the plaza. The medic wolves were FINALLY OUT. But they weren’t at the commotion or even a part of it. Just doing their business and somehow not CAUGHT by the rumbling noises of stairs that sounded like running-elk stampedes. But Jadekinse glared at them deeply just because they hadn’t arrived at the commotion. Maybe THEY’RE THE ONE TO STOP IT, NOT HER!
The medics checked every wolf to see if they were okay. Some limbs were densely cut, and the wolves that kept giving themselves concussions had severe headaches and were taken to the sanatorium.
Jadekinse sat all the way at the right corner as she was before. Still thinking of what she had done and hoping Harper had found her way back home.
Windbreaker sat next to her, while watching Ronnie getting her paws stepped on by so many MoonWolves. She kept growling at the wolves who stepped on her paws.
It was funny and entertaining to watch. Just seeing wolves stepping on Ronnie’s paws and startled every time Ronnie growled at them.
It looked like Ronnie was looking for Windbreaker and Jadekinse.
As her confused expression was still scavenging for them, she had turned behind her as she caught attention and spotted them. She had run close to the doors.
She had darted towards them until she got run over by a wolf who had just come back from training.
“ ARGH!! STOP RUNNING ME OVER YOU ROTTING SNAPDRAGONS!“ She barked viciously at the victim as they gave her a stern look.. Jadekinse and Windbreaker were laughing like a herd of hyenas.
Now she had resumed running back to them, but limping on her right arm. Her expression was startled and annoyed at the same time. Jadekinse had realized that Tadano was giggling and almost knocking over the house plant.
Ronnie had tipped over, her arm had canceled her limping as her face looked more stressed than ever. The wolves had never seen Ronnie so stressed.
Her tired expression had peered up to the two wolves.
“ You alright? “ Jadekinse said as her grin slowly faded.
Ronnie tried to support her head up but failed. “ Never—better! — Oof. “
Windbreaker set his paw on her forehead. “ You look tired. Have you been getting enough sleep when you were in my dorm? “ He glared down at her.
She looked up and tried to contact him but failed again. “ I have no idea. It felt like I was sleeping for 5 weeks until I heard yelling that grew louder into my ears! “ Her ears are pinned down.
“ Same. I woke up from the commotion too. “ Windbreaker looked over to Jadekinse, thinking if it happened to her as well.
Jadekinse nodded her head.
Jadekinse looked over to Tadano again. His body was laid flat on the back. He looked like he had over eaten so much deer. His paws on his stomach looked like he was dead. He either actually died of laughter or was just tired like every wolf in the palace.
Jadekinse was still worried about the actions she had done. And the things that always depend on her. It’s like she’s the wolf to end, achieve, accomplish anything. But she’s made her own missions. But only just one.
When will she ever believe her mother?

SICKNESS AND INTEGRITY
120Please respect copyright.PENANAvWiUXetNM7
She peered up all the way, spacing into the ceiling that showered pure sunlight that ranged all the way down 7 levels.
The tiny debris has caught its way down the sunlight until it stopped where the sunlight stopped.
But nevertheless, Jadekinse might not actually accomplish her mission if she has to go through all these problems and situations that depend on her. She’s sick of it. And so are the constant little problems she’s dealing with right now.
How is Jadekinse going to get through all these conflicts and..Destructions if she’s not that good at it? I mean, Luck exists. But it won’t happen every time. So she’ll either need to decline it, or move on Mother's myth.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAEv21JwxP7b
Jadekinse felt so stressed and so tired after actually somehow feeling all of the stuff she went through so far. And since she has no slack from training; she’s gonna have to do it anyway.
It was slowly turning DawnPaw anyways. She can either sleep now or later if the group wants her to do something AGAIN.
She had stood up and trotted up the stairs to her dorm level. She looked behind her, seeing Windbreaker giving her a sad, wimpy face with huge begging-pup eyes. It’s like I’m his only friend.
Where’s his sister Dragonfruit? Isn’t she supposed to be with him? Oh wait, I think she died or so. Well, if she did, it would be TERRIBLE for Windbreaker to find out. Surprise he hasn’t found out yet. Good. She thought.
She paused at the three oval windows again, their sliver, swirl markings always making her feel at ease and safe, and the sunset had stopped at the moon’s center, taking place. Which means more sunshine had showered from above.
But it wasn’t always the same. She is still concerned about the message that albino wolf had given her. But does it really connect? What if that message means she is the wolf to end everything? She doesn’t want to be an ancient, overpowered goddess or anything.
Anymore.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAi0UPHsoU5i
And there, she stopped right at her dorm when she was about to pass it. She entered her room to see if she had fixed her bed again. ( She didn’t )
She knew that she didn’t fix it when she left. She felt so angry about her own responsibility even though she’s the one doing it.
“ Ugh. Why am I even angry at this? I’m the one that set up this routine
anyways. “ She said. “ Can’t be mad at my stuff. “ She rolled her eyes and fixed her bed aggressively to get the anger off her body.
She had hopped onto her bed and positioned herself to bed.
Finally, some shut-eye. But I hope nothing bad or more than bad occurs to me now or tomorrow. She hopefully thought.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAO9Deox0hOL
It was sandy, and the gusty, thick wind had swallowed her, preventing her from walking forward a lot. But she still manages to hold her balance while trying not to get blown away by the wind.
Several faces of Harper had surrounded her mind. And multiple scenes of Ronnie getting killed by a black wolf had invaded her mind totally. It was like a hypnosis dart had injected her brain. She all of a sudden starts to think that this would be like when she starts leaving her entire home and her friends behind. But, she’ll need her friends to go with her. She just can’t venture off without her group. They’ll be in huge danger progressively. But she hopes the continent can produce and evolve to a better home when she comes back.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAoSw7a3ywBp
The images of her friends made her start to feel sick. She didn’t like to see blood more constantly, especially when it came from someone she got along with so well. It was kind of heartbreaking to observe so much, but she just couldn’t escape this gorey tapestry-mind thingy she’s witnessing.
She fully believes in her mother. She barely understood what she was told when she was a pup, but now so many hazards and disasters have formed, she knew it was time to leave and venture somewhere and hopefully with peace. A continent where wolves would never harm or discipline their pups just because of wrong reasons and a continent where no one would do the heartbreaking action to strike harm ever.
Yes, her group should leave too, but Jadekinse can’t bring more than just 1 wolf. They had to make the perfect ship that can be balanced, stabilized enough just to hold more than one wolf to settle off into finding the continent. But the thing is, the telling her mother told wasn’t a popular myth. No sayings or conversations about it, no accurate scientists were even working on it.
But then around her it instantly became pitch white.
She recognized this place, but for some reason couldn't tell.
It was fully empty, and looked like a harmless, endless void of white chasm. It would look like someone or something would live here forever.
The floor felt wobbly and bouncy and every step she took, the surface would flatten every pressure she took. It felt like thick quicksand, but more bouncy and unsinkable.
There was a white wolf in front of her. The wolf who had told her the message.

CHAPTER. 46
A NEW OUTCOME
120Please respect copyright.PENANAuxYEhQrDJ4
There it was, the white wolf. The wolf who had told her the secret message that only she received and no one else. It looked like the wolf wanted to send her another message, but this time, she was laying down in front of her. But her weight hadn’t affected the surface.
Jadekinse trotted curiously towards the wolf and tapped her on the back to see what the white wolf’s reaction was. But she just turned her head at her like it already noticed her or heard her coming.
The white glowing had reached and its radius had flatten every pressure it came to. White debris was whiter than the area as it floated around like tiny dragonflies.
The white wolf’s eyes were still the same shade of red.
“ Is there something you need? “ The white wolf said.
Jadekinse utterly thought that she was going to receive another message, but she didn’t expect to receive a question coming from the messenger.
Jadekinse gave the wolf a confused look. “ I..I thought there was another message. Aren’t I going to receive it? That's why I’m here? “ She sat down and pressed her paw on her chest softly.
The white wolf narrowed her gaze and straightened it to look more broad and strict. “ No, there is nothing you will be receiving. “ She started to stand up and contact her. “ If you're wondering why you're here, “ She fixed her head at her to make sure of eye contact. “ Then leave. “ She said deeply.
Jadekinse stepped back when her voice lowered. “ But how? There..There’s no exit. You should send me back! “ She stammered and she fixed her paws to feel more stable from the bouncy surface. 120Please respect copyright.PENANAeMZPC85iLu
“ Just close your eyes. Don’t open them and picture-mind. Then you will be back in reality. “ The white wolf answered softly. Her voice had now softened.
Jadekinse slowly closed her eyes, she looked down to focus, until everything went pitch-black.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAdZpVEFzpvg
She heard the flickering sound of fire, but it slowly faded away as she opened her eyes. There, she had seen her normal dorm. It was still sunny, everything was back to normal. It looked like the fire sound was coming from the radiating heat Jadekinse was being showered on on the same spot.
She began to elevate up, but as soon she did, she saw Windbreaker sleeping in her dorm.
She made a confused look and pondered over him. She tapped him constantly until he woke up.
Windbreaker’s eyes began to fasten open, his head fixated up until his vision was now entirely clear.
“ Jade? “ She was the only thing he spotted.
“ What are you doing in my dorm? “ She questioned sharply. She glared into his eyes deeply.
His glance, startled. “ Oh—uh, “ He started,”the construction workers are fixing my dorm. Seven raccoons invaded when I was asleep! That's why I slept in your room instead!“ He cried.
Jadekinse canceled her glaring and instead gave him an offended look. “ Without MY permission?! “ She lashed her tail in anger.
“ There was nowhere else to nap! Not my fault I had my window open! Windbreaker's ears pinned down timidly, he’d scrunch his body avoiding her aggressiveness as soon he saw her tail lashing.
“ It is. No one is responsible for your trashy dorm. “ She snapped fiercely.
“ No wonder those trash pandas got in there. “ She flicked her tail to stop lashing.
Windbreaker gave her a smug-offended-glare.
Jadekinse sighed, “ Fine, you can sleep in my dorm for ONE night. Just don't attract those stupid trash pandas—PLEASE! “ She cried.
“ Hey, I’m not stinky! “ Windbreaker snapped whiningly, he lunged his head at her. “ And why one night? My dorm won't be fixed after a week! “
“ I never said you were? I just want you to not get those animals in my dorm or—however you got them there. “ Jadekinse said. “ And deal with it. “
He resumed his ears back up to normal, but still with an offended glare and glance. He unsheathe his claws to sharpen them. He swiftly laid one claw beneath his other claw and swiped it quickly until the tips were sharper than the point of the sharpest knife.
Jadekinse left her dorm as she slowly closed the door behind her.
Windbreaker just sat there, regretting some of the things he said to her. He knew that's what friends don’t do. Argue and yell and stuff to each other. But he wishes he didn’t act like a pup, even at his age, almost an adult and he still acts like a pup.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAxq9WXP7R0w
Jadekinse still wonders about her telling her mother if it’s true or not. But why would one sentence be accurately true? She isn’t a goddess or anything, nothing she says is possibly true. But now that the library has been fixed and opened, she’s read some books. Some books are the closest meaning to her mother’s saying, but not quite yet. She just hopes her mother is right, and there really is another continent with peace and non-violence and no war, she might as well just stay on there forever.
She was still walking down stairs and levels, until she reached the main plaza. There, she still saw Tadano in the same spot from yesterday. It either looked like he was bored, or that gray wolf was sick or something. Jadekinse looked at the doors as it reminded her of Sakura somehow.
Sakura’s still not here, Jadekinse thought.
I just hope the wolves won’t go YELLING and RAMMING about what happened 3 days ago to her. YES, the kitchen incident wasn’t cleaned. Everyone went crazy about it like it was their first incident in moons, but REALLY?! So much has happened and THEY think it’s the CRAZIEST one when LIKE A YEAR AGO—SOMEONE JUST MURDERED A CHILD NEAR OUR TERRITORY. LIKE WHAT THE HECK?! THEY SHOULD HAVE BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT INSTEAD OF YAPPING ABOUT A BLOODY KITCHEN WITH SOMEONE’S CUT-OFF PAW. —Well, I-I mean, a cut off paw is kind of insanely important too but—WHO CARES!!!!
She sat in the corner again. Looking at all of the wolves who were doing their duties and chatting around in a peaceful social time. But except her, thinking about stress and huge situations that depend on her and not even barely prepared to leave her continent for peace on another. Why would she have done this?
She stared off into space into how she could just fix this huge, tangly knot into a straight line. She couldn’t just Magically unknot it. It will need to take a lot of fixing. Not just fixing; refuge and sacrifice.
Five wolves can’t possibly try to fix an entire continent by themselves or just leave a continent and venture for peace if that's what Jadekinse is willing to do. The RainWolves’ home had been completely destroyed, someone’s paw got cut off, and.. — Jadekinse is just sick of all of it.
Growing up is realizing that life isn’t just straight and normal. It’s ruined. She isn’t the wolf to everything, she isn’t the wolf who fixes everything, stops, ends, or the most powerful wolf. She isn’t even a hybrid either!
It's like trying to catch a school of angelfish in one net but it completely breaks after so much hard pressure has been put into it. She thought. No wonder why everything matters to me.
She wishes everything would have been perfect. It's a huge cost to just leave and venture off into another continent that possibly has peace or is possibly real. But couldn’t she tell if her mother was lying or not? When Jadekinse was a pup, she didn’t find her mother as a goddess. Well, obviously: she was a pup. She hasn't seen the world yet.
She’s read books, and books that are almost as accurate to her research about the ‘venturing-continent-plan’. She hasn’t found some in the library, but it’s not close enough. It’s just the entire map and knowledge in Pyrradonna and the stuff about Pyrradonnanian wolf breeds. There hasn’t been a single, unrecognized map she has found in a book. Most science books are about Pyrradonna. But none are closely accurate to her continent-myth research.
But maybe, just maybe. If there are different books in each of the clans, close or literal accurate to her research, she can discover a new world. A new home for her and her friends.

CHAPTER. 47
UNIDENTIFIED DISCUSSION
120Please respect copyright.PENANAl7UczgCEyH
But it’s not possible. It’s hard to achieve a book from another clan, since wolves are mostly overprotective toward their clan. They obviously won’t let intruders in, but maybe Harper can.
Maybe. The Inferno Pack science books are just about their own wolf breed. Since Pyre is so mere grandstanding towards “her own” breed. She doesn’t even own her wolf breed—what? She acts like a sassy queen anyways.
She heard a quiet, whispering conversation that sounded like gossiping of her. She looked over to her left, two female wolves were whispering near the fences on the level at the edge of the stairs. It looked like one of her suspects was there: Jakara. A lavender wolf with a purple tortoise shell marking. Then there was her sister but mistakenly as her friend: Snowshoe. A lighter lavender wolf but with pink rosetted marbles up to her neck then faded purple to her back.
It looked like they were gossiping about Jadekinse. Well, Jadekinse already knew her coat looked odd in the crowd. So that was one reason to gossip about her. But if it was like fully gossiping — Jadekinse would rip their heads off in public. Without hesitation too.
She tipped her head down and closed her eyes. She didn’t mind the gossiping unless it was too long. Then she knew it was bad gossip.
A few minutes later, she heard pawsteps coming towards her. She could hear who it was; Windbreaker.
He came up to her and she gave him a tiring ‘I don't wanna be with him’ look. She moved a bit away from him so that somehow he didn’t find it offensive.
“ Hi Jade. Don’t you have training today? “ Windbreaker asked her. Jadekinse had made a worried-wide face at him. She had totally forgotten she had training. But it wasn’t her fault anyways—Nightcat should have reminded her!
“ I’m supposed to be a warrior like you right now! It’s been moons—I haven’t even gotten my ceremony yet! “ Jadekinse wailed, her ears and head face down mournfully.
“ Oh. Well, I agree. You should be a warrior at this age by now. You already started being a young warrior like 2 years ago. I can’t believe your rank hasn’t developed. “
Jadekinse looked at him confuzzled, thinking he said it in a mean way or a nice way. Hope he doesn't get offended so easily.
Windbreaker responded with a stern face. “ But, since the commotion, I guess young warriors and apprentices don’t have training due to all of that. “
She had another flashback at the kitchen commotion again.
Why was everyone I know not there? She thought. The commotion had been so loud, they should have woken up to be at least progressively a part of it.
She’s still wondering why everything has to depend on her. The basic problems, yeah, she’s dealt with them before. But disastrous ones? NO!
A loud thump had been somehow heard by her through all the chattering the pack was making. Her face darted to the following noise, and there had been Tadano. Laying flat on the back again like he had over eaten. He’s lucky he hadn’t knocked over the white-striped ceramic houseplant.
Where was his gray wolf friend? Isn’t he supposed to be with him? Or..Maybe he’s one of the commotion-head-bonker wolvesin the kitchen.
She’s wondering if the kitchen is fully cleaned at this point.
She lowered her body into a laying-down and fully relaxed position. She had seen some faces the male wolves gave her when she started to lay down. She hoped they didn’t find that romantically hot or something.
Still wondering what and how to earn Mother’s mission just for peace. She thought. How long will this keep lasting if I just lounge here for nothing?
She yelped, the light had progressively moved its ray onto her face, which made her get blinded and avoid the light.
“ Ow! “ Her whole body had been trapped by the sun’s light. Her body curled like a cocoon. Her actions somehow didn’t catch Windbreaker’s attention.
Not really getting used to this. She thought.
She scrunched her face angrily at the light to make her go blind.
Windbreaker looked at her, his expression turned surprised after he saw her now curled like a cocoon.
“ Are you avoiding the light? It’s peaceful. “ He said.
Jadekinse had barely heard anyone say the world was peacefulin moons. It wasn’t even used after so many disasters were formed. And now she’s heard it.
She gave him a wondrous look.
He fixed his head at the center again.
120Please respect copyright.PENANACtxA07SiYR
The light had now moved and caught Jadekinse’s tail. It slowly started to vanish so fast and noticeable like someone had got in the way.
But then it came back to its regular moving-routine. Jadekinse really hoped that something wasn’t going to happen again.
She had now turned to Windbreaker. His eyes were closed, his head was back to the wall like he was asleep. His mouth was slowly open.
He had gotten so big over the past dozens of years. It now looked like he was three times her size. Made her feel so small in the world.
We need to get back on track. The voice that invaded her head had fixed and was focused on the ground. We can’t just keep ‘lounging here.’ The voice sounded like a young, sassy female pup that was talking to her directly. We ATLEAST need to do something to get peace! The voice sounded like it had been spectating her thoughts throughout these years.

CHAPTER. 48
NEW MIND-OVERLORD
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4bpC8B6Qr6
Jadekinse was startled as soon as she heard the voice. She thought she was either hallucinating, or it was something else or someone. But who is this wolf that can enter minds?
Jadekinse tipped her head down and closed her eyes to start interacting with the mind visitor.
Who are you? How did you get here? She asked the mind visitor. Surely she hoped talking to the mind visitor like this would get her attention.
A long pause was made, it felt like the mind visitor had a small confusion. Or maybe she didn’t expect anything like this.
Uhm…I wasn’t..Expecting my voice to be heard. The mind visitor said.
Jadekinse’s expression was confusing. She can control her mind, how come she’s this stupid to know that every wolf can do this?!
Are you…A..Mind Visitor?-
Yes I am. The mind visitor cut her off as soon as she knew what she was going to say.
What’s your name? Jadekinse asked curiously.
A pause was made again. Did the mind visitor really have a name? It would be surprising if she didn’t.
I don’t..Have a name. The mind visitor responded anxiously.
She was surprised. A wolf who doesn’t have a name.
You don’t have a name?
I don’t. But maybe you can call me a name. I’m..Not sure how I ended up here. But you need to get on track!
WHO SENT YOU HERE?! She shouted.
The mind visitor was startled. ENO—...Enough questions! Get back on track. All I heard is, your mind is pretty..Interesting–
HEARD?! Jadekinse couldn't believe it. YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY MIND VISITOR?!
The Mind visitor was startled still, and yet, again.
Can you just let me speak? She started. 120Please respect copyright.PENANACerafEisrE
No-no-no, are you the only mind visitor or are there more of you? —
SHUT UP! I-I’m the only one! Goodness! 120Please respect copyright.PENANAgwpoq1LQsu
Are you Wolf? Jadekinse replied.
Maybe. I..I-don’t know. The mind visitor was starting to get worried. Like she had made herself get caught by a single thread, hanging by a weak ceiling.
How do you not know your Wolf? —What? Can you see yourself in the reality of yours?
This IS my reality! The mind visitor responded frantically.
Jadekinse felt so off and confused.
YOU SAID YOU WERE SENT HERE? SO DID YOU SENT YOURSELF OR DID SOMEONE SENT YOU IN REAL LIFE?!
NO! Our reality is living in random WOLVES heads! We spectate thoughts, — there’s nowhere to go! just..It’s complicated to say.
So, we’re not the only wildlife out there? There are more like you guys? You said you aren’t Wolf. If that's at least what you think. Jadekinse said.
I..Guess.
Well, I need to get back to my reality now. Don’t disturb or interrupt me. Or just go to another mind.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAiVyc0F5I5y
She had to unleash her eyes. She blinked until she could see clearly. She immediately flicked her head up and looked around. She looked next to her, Windbreaker wasn’t there anymore.
Did he leave me? She thought.
What? The mind visitor said curiously.
Shut up–I wasn’t talking to you.
Well, I live here so basically you are talking to me once you think about something.
UGH!
Jadekinse felt very uncomfortable now that she has this mind visitor overlord in her thoughts. She’s more of a private person. Security at its best.
I just wish you would go away. She thought.
What? Why? –
STOP LISTENING TO ME! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!
Look, are you a more of a…Private person type? The mind visitor questioned.
YES. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!
Okay, I’ll leave you alone. I’ll just go in someone else's head-
She wasn’t going too. She felt entertained now that Jadekinse kept yelling at her.
THANK YOU.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAFOIrtyNB6m
“ That dang MIND VISITOR is so ANNOYING. “ Jadekinse barked. She stood up to see if Tadano was still in his place.
He was.
If you really want me to leave, I won't help you on your mission! The mind visitor came back again, almost startling Jadekinse.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? She replied.
It's me again! If you really want me to leave, I won’t help you on your mission!
What? —Are you like my ancestor or something?
No. I’m just a mind spectator, reader…Whatever. I already told you. So do you want me to leave or what?
Help me? Really?
YES! Us mind visitors know everything about everyone!
CAN YOU BE HONEST IF THERE'S MORE OF YOU?! I STILL DON'T GET HOW YOU GOT HERE IF YOU’RE SAYING THERE’S NONE OF YOU. Jadekinse yelled thoughtfully.
FINE! THERE IS MORE OF US. AND WE AREN’T.. WOLF.

CHAPTER. 49
YELLING STRIKES THROUGH DANGER
120Please respect copyright.PENANAqJcYub1N8Z
You aren't Wolf? Jadekinse repeated. She was shocked and appalled.
Right. But forget that, The mind visitor protested, do you want me to help you or not?
I do. Do you know exactly what I’m missioning for?
Another continent that you wish has peace. The mind visitor answered.
Jadekinse was surprised. You knew?
Mind visitors know EVERYTHING about you wolves. And..Maybe we are your ancestors now that I’ve said that… I—don’t know.
If you are, then why do you sound so young? Do you mind visitors don’t exist but..Secretly? Jadekinse asked.
We aren’t dead. Maybe if you venture to the continent, you might see..
YOU?! Jadekinse finished surprisingly.
NO!
You said you’re not dead, so where do you live?
In your head. The mind visitor responded.
Jadekinse was so confused. If the mind visitor isn’t dead, and there are more of her, how can she see more of herself in person?
Do any of you guys have siblings? Families? Anything?
No!
THEN HOW ARE THERE MORE OF YOU IF THERE ISN’T ONE THAT.. You know what? I’m done.
You should be. Stop questioning our complicated history. We’re probably older than your whole wolf-species- breed anyways.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAwwbU0FOL8A
As soon Jadekinse was turning back into reality, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked back, there was Tadano.
“ Jade? “ Tadano called. The way he called her name sounded like a lot of lack of worry. Was she gone that long? It only felt like twenty minutes.
She spun around to look at him, she spun so fast that he backed away, startled.
“ Oh..I-I’m okay. “
Is that your mate?
SHUT UP HE ISN'T! He’s my friend! What makes you think that I'm his mate?! She yelled.
He’s green. And..Your..Also green? The mind visitor responded.
SO? Just because we’re green doesn’t mean we're mates!
120Please respect copyright.PENANA3HHnYE92sr
Jadekinse declined her eye contact at him and sighed roughly. Tadano thought she was mad at him for disturbing her, but he had to since she was just standing there like a baiting scarecrow. He had gotten more concerned every time Jadekinse paused.
Don’t ever say that again. She said to the Mind visitor.
“ You sure? Tadano said, taking a few steps away until he walked into a wall.
“ Yes, I AM. “ She replied sharply. She looked at the windows, it was DawnPaw. The sun is already starting to set so fast. She’s starting to think Tadano was going to ask her if she had to go to bed.
“ It's DawnPaw, were you going to ask me; I have to go to bed? “ She said.
Tadano nodded slowly and scared.
She looked to the left, the crowd had separated progressively. It’s like a huge spot of time flew when she was talking to the mind visitor. But the talking wasn’t that long, to her, she swore the talking was like twenty minutes!
Tadano ducks his head aside passively in concern. “ Let’s just go to our dorms. “ He trotted past her, up the stairs until he went more levels to his dorm.
Jadekinse sighed again and did the same.
Sorry that I thought he was your mate. The mind visitor apologized.
Yeah, yeah. Jadekinse said.
Why does he wear those..Elk horns? 120Please respect copyright.PENANAohmlfiT4Ot
It’s a headband. He usually wears it like a trophy when he catches his first male elk. But it annoys him whenever he has to fit through something or such. So he takes it off but it still doesn’t work despite its massive size. To be honest though, he looks like a reindeer.
Ha! Right!
So, about my mission. You might actually be helpful if you know what I’m missing. Do you like, find the answers to help me? Or do you not know? Jadekinse questioned.
She stopped at the three windows. It was a beautiful sight to see. The moon was in its place. The swirly, silver marking emitted around the moon as the moon shined its best light.
I know some of the answers. But I can’t help you permanently. I won’t always be here. I.. Have some..Other minds to visit.
Oh. Are there lots of you remaining? Please be honest.
A few. Only three of us. The mind visitor answered.
You sure? Really sure? Jadekinse protested.
Yes! Only three of us.
Okay.
She was at her dorm, her paws were slightly sore from traveling the staircases. She twisted the knob until she saw relief from seeing her bed, she missed sleeping. She wished she didn’t have training. Oh, and Nightcat hadn’t trained her again. Maybe Nightcat was a slacker.
The window was semi-open.
Are you going to bed? The Mind Visitor said. This early?
You can see what I’m doing?! Jadekinse exclaimed thoughtfully.
Not third person though. But oh well, have a good night Jadekinse.
Jadekinse fastened her eyes to sleep.
Wait! Before you sleep, we can start your mission right now. The mind visitor interrupted.
UGH! Can I atleast get some sleep first?! Jadekinse ordered.
I’m just saying, starting your mission right now could have an advantage. I mean, every night has an advantage for something so criminal and risky.
My mission is not risky and criminal!
Well, whatever you’re about to go through right now can make you go through crime and jail.
You’re helping me!
Yeah, but I’m not gonna be in jail like you. I’m just a mind visitor. The mind visitor teased impudently.
Just let me get some sleep. Oh, and since you don’t have a name, I’ll call you…Sophia?
The mind visitor was surprised. She kind of liked that name.
Me? Sohpia?
Sophia. So-fi-ah. Jadekinse corrected.
Oh. Uhm. Thanks?
Let— me— go —to —bed—PLEASE.Oh, and you’re named after our goddess.
She quickly fastened her eyes before Sophia was about to say a word.
Overtime, the moon was at its best. So far, its streak is still continuing. This was the farthest the moon had got. And the moon might be the most, mystical, religious thing that the wolves ever saw. I mean, The Moon Pack, palace, clan, has the word MOON in it. Everything so lunar and night was meant to the MoonClan’s religion and culture.
The chilly air entered her window and brushed her face lightly. Like a touch of cold nature had patted her on the head. She felt like a roam-free wolf and her paws and feet touching the thick grass. Maybe, if Sophia was actually not kidding, and helped her on her mission, maybe none of these rebellious concerns and commotion wouldn’t continue in both continents. If even the one she’s going to is real.
A wolf with no problems, no work, no training, no fighting. Just. Peace. In every way. That just makes everyone so..Unstressful..And happy. Kits in Kittergarden grade wouldn’t have to suffer learning geometry and angles right away like in InfernoClan. They’re skills aren’t ready to learn what angle is a right-degree angle yet. They aren’t even ready to be educated like Highschoolers.
Just
Trust
The
Process
CHAPTER. 50
THE WAY TO SOLUTION.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA4y4HX8CYYy
A clamor of singing birds had awakened her, heat warming her body in the same spot for so long. It felt like she hadn't moved a single bit when she was sleeping.
Hey Jade! Morning! Sophia greeted her.
Morning. Jadekinse replied thoughtfully. Oh quick question, do you sleep?
Hmm..No. I don’t know if I’m even real anymore.
Oh..Weird. Jadekinse mumbled.
I think it’s time that your leader might be back.
Sophia made Jadekinse’s head shot up faster than a cobra’s bite range. 120Please respect copyright.PENANA8aECXlymQg
She’s gonna be back?! She squealed.
I’m predicting. It’s been a week, but most of your packmates think she’s gonna be back in a month. Sophia guessed.
She NEEDS to be back, how else are we going to do our routine in order? Most of us are lazy. And I can’t even IMAGINE our skill-level being better soldiers like the Sea—CLAN.Jadekinse said melodramatically.
I know. I think Sakura might come back. But hopefully she does. Oh, I’ve been in your mind since last month too. It’s just that I haven't talked.
You Have? Jadekinse echoed.
“ Jade! Sakura’s back! “ Windbreaker burst through her door, she made her jump out of her bed and fall with a hard, loud thump.
“ WIND! That hurt! Next time, KNOCK! “ Jadekinse reminded him.
But she was also surprised and shocked at the same time. Sophia actually predicted the future? But something called luck is also here, so maybe that was it. But Sophia is a mind reader. So it had to be predicting the future.
Did you..Predict the future? Jadekinse asked thoughtfully.
Oh! I did? A wolf name..Windbreaker came in unexpectedly. So maybe, I did. Sophia said.
Or it was just Luck. Jadekinse added.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAmEuA1QvC2u
“ Jade? “ Windbreaker tapped her on the forehead. “ Were you zoning out? “ He asked her.
Jadekinse rolled flat on her back and gazed up at him.
“ Uhm..” She didn’t feel like exposing Sophia to him, so she had to ask if it was okay.
Is it okay if I expose you to him? She asked.
Oh? Me? Oh–NO don’t. Barely any of you have mind visitors. Basically you’re the chosen one.
Oh.
Jadekinse was a superior one. After all, or not. She just can’t keep her paws on one choice. Whether she’s NOT or ONE by all the weird stuff that's happening.
“ I’m okay. “ She said to him.
“ You sure? Because I was JUST talking to you—you weren’t even listening! “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAlVvM2Qz4vn
Jadekinse sighed roughly. “ ALL I HEARD IS SAKURA’S BACK.” She started to stand up.
Windbreaker pinned his ears down timidly and ducked his head aside like he was ignored. He left her dorm, and closed the door softly.
“ Everytime he does that—I feel like a bad friend. “ Jadekinse said.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAnTBbvtEL7t
Is he your mate? Sophia asked.
OH MY PAWS-NO! Jadekinse exclaimed with a lack of stress. She was tired of hearing her say this everytime she met a male wolf.
And I’m only nineteen years old. She said,
You can still get a mate at that age. Sophia answered.
I’ll get a mate when I'm twenty four years old.
You should be–
SHUT. UP. Just let me think for once like I don't have a mind visitor!
120Please respect copyright.PENANAGlUHjPvJbY
When she was about to think. She heard familiar pawsteps approaching her dorm. The door opened slowly, Windbreaker poked his snout through the opening. The door opened wider, until it showed his pale grayish-blue appearance. He was back again. But he gave her a stern, unforgivable look.
“ What do you want? “ She said to him. “ Weren’t you leaving? “
“ Yes. But. Sakuras’ wants Nightcat to train you again. So..Yeah.. “ Windbreaker said.
“ I didn’t train yesterday! “ Jadekinse complained.
“ Yeah you weren’t supposed to do that. “
Jadekinse narrowed down her eyes and eyebrows at him angrily.
“ UGH! “ She avoided him and slammed the door behind him.
Down a few levels, soon, she bumped into Nightcat. Who had just been doing what she was doing.
“ Oh! Jade! “ Nightcat said.
“ What? More training again? “ Jadekinse replied lethargically.
“ Yes! “120Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7iMLZnN7z
“ Noo! “ Jadekinse groaned.
Nightcat forced her to walk down the stairs. Jadekinse had only walked so sloppy in forever.
Every wolf slacks off for so much. Training still happens whether a war will start or not. There’s no decline or registration to participate in the massacre. You’re forced. No regrets, but you’ll end up with a blood one-hundred percent.
The two wolves had reached the plaza, so many wolves were down there. Like a town square. Open 24/7.
The chattering made Jadekinse feel at home like always. Even if the crowd had been progressively starting to separate away, there’s always a wolf there.But then there was Sakura. Her face was happy, she was so happy to see her wolves. But have the results been successful? Can the RainWolves live at home? In peace?
120Please respect copyright.PENANAroUqCtiGvf
120Please respect copyright.PENANAfbT3DYi9eN
A Lot of MoonWolves. And isn’t your clan…One of the most…biggest ones out of all packs? Sophia said curiously.
Hm. Maybe. I mean, I’d say Infernoclans’ the biggest one. But I feel bad. Since the pups have to learn geometry and other hard stuff in elementary school. Jadekinse replied.
THEY DO?! Who told you that?
Harper. Jadekinse responded. She’s..One of my friend comrades in the InfernoPack-
You CAN'T become friends with a different breed. Sophia insisted.
Oh really? I don’t believe that. I believe that every wolf can be friends no matter what breed they are. Jadekinse paused, but didn't Sophia say she wasn't Wolf?
A long, brief pause was made. This unsettled Sophia.
Hello? —
Didn’t you say you weren't…Wolf? Jadekinse questioned.
Yeah?
How did you know that..Wolf breeds can't be friends with other breeds?
Oh. I’ve been spectating THOUSANDS of minds lately. My perspective is like your perspective. I can be in everyone's minds. Everyone. Literally. It’s actually kind of fun when we go into wolf’s minds during wars. Oh, and I’ve been a mind visitor for SO long, I learned the lore and history about you guys.
Jadekinse was so confused and full of questions and curiosity. Everything that Sophia talked about had always been catching Jadekinse’s attention. The most one that caught her attention was when she said she wasn’t Wolf.; Then what is she? Had always got to her head.
Out the almond doors, there had beamed a godshine of sunshine, pouring down on her and had heat radiating on her whole body. Mostly her head.
As soon she walked out, she had dipped her head down, away from the sun to prevent from being blinded
“ Jade, “ Nightcat started, “ We didn’t train a lot since I had more duties. “ The wolves were walking to the right, taking a straight path.
“ You have more duties? Like what? “ Jadekinse replied. She darted her curious gaze at her. “ Oh, and you didn’t tell us where we're going. “
“ Sakura wants us..To catch a bit more angelfish. Oh, and the kitchen commotion…The food was stolen. “
“ The food was stolen? SO SOMEONE DID INVADE THE PLACE! “ Jadekinse instantly thought about Donna. She hoped she was okay.
“ That's what I’m thinking too. I mean, I heard one of the chefs say there was a cut-off paw. But we still can’t find the culprit. And we’re too..Scared to tell Sakura about it. Which I don’t get. “ Nightcat interjected.
“ They never told Sakura about it? She’s our leader! She’s trusted! “ Jadekinse said.
“ We know she is. “ Nightcat agreed. “ But..Sakura’s…Wanting to keep the palace clean. So if she finds out…Then we might have to see an execution..” Her expression changed to worry.
“ But we don’t know who's the culprit! And so does she! So there won’t be NO execution! “ Jadekinse interjected.
The wolves didn’t know where they were going, but somehow, Nightcat managed to direct them to their exact destination.
The wolves paused for a second, they had dozens off so much talking. They needed to see if they’re alive.
“ We’re here? “ Jadekinse said.
“ Uhm..I thought I forgot where to go. “ Nightcat said.
They had paused on the recognized beach. The shore still looked like its natural, normal color.
“ Uh…Just..Do your thing. Jade. “ Nightcat ordered puzzledly. She directed Jadekinse where her gaze was going.
Jadekinse trotted over to the water and bent down to catch angelfish. SHe spun around to Nightcat, “ Do I need to catch an entire school? Of them? “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAptRzOcpdpE
Nightcat shook her head and left the place to let Jadekinse concentrate and feel comfortable.
Jadekinse continued her doing, but she hadn’t seen any angelfish come across. She ducked her snout into the water for an easier advantage, but still none of them came.
Where ARE they? Jadekinse thought.
Do you need help? Sophia asked.
Oh. —Uhm, yeah. I need help catching angelfish if you know what that is.
Oh. Those fish are a bit hard and easy to catch. Most of them come during winter for some reason. But barely any of them come during summer. It's actually rare to see a school of angelfish during summer.
Jadekinse remembered when she saw a school of angelfish when she was here. She felt kind of superior now that Sophia said that.
Oh. She replied
She heard swimming from her left, she darted to the noise, ripples of water were coming her way. But the ripples weren’t forming very fast, so the fish was slow.
That's an angelfish! A very slow one! Sophia interjected.
Jadekinse smirked, she crouched closer to the upcoming angelfish to catch it faster. As soon the angelfish came towards Jadekinse snout, it went to its left directly.
WHAT?! She yelled in her head.
Dang it! Sophia said. You were so close! Some angelfish do that. It’s kind of annoying. You need to be..Careful and focused. And they are blind.
Jadekinse’s expression was slowly starting to grow angrier. Her competitiveness was kicking in as well.
I’ll show those ANGELFISH.
She struck her snout into the water aggressively. She waited and waited until her impatiens were slowly starting to break.
Where are you angelfish?! She called in her head.
She dashed her eyes to spot any water ripples, rippling through her way.
Then there was one, she heard the swimming of fins.
That's an angelfish! At least I think.. Sophia interjected. Jadekinse’s competitiveness was now starting. But it was kind of hard, since Sophia said they are blind.
The fish came in closer, closer, and closer..Jadekinse slowly crept towards the fish. She had to make her movements soundless. Angelfish are blind, but they can hear very well.
Five more swims, five more swims! Jadekinse chanted in her head.
The fish came in front of the snout.

CHAPTER. 51
A SENSE OF BLOOD
120Please respect copyright.PENANAtvqNAmGRib
Jadekinse let out a yelp, she swiftly and quickly backed away from her fishing. A long trail of blood had been made. Jadekinse toppled onto the beach. She squirmed to safety. As soon as she felt she was safe, she checked where she was bitten.
Are you okay?! Sophia exclaimed.
I’m — fine! Jadekinse responded worryingly.
Nightcat came through the duckweeds, she dashed to Jadekinse to check on her.
“ Are you okay?! “ She said.
Nightcat looked at the shore. The blood had been merged into the water, making its scent senseable for the sharks.
As soon she looked back at Jadekinse, gray fins were already coming to the scent.
“ Oh no. “ Nightcat said.
Oh no. Sophia said.
Jadekinse whimpered, but she saw the fins as well.
“ We need to leave! “ Nightcat left the place faster than a heartbeat.
A family of great-white sharks had arrived, six of them saw Jadekinse. All of them reached on shore to catch her with their constant-opening jaws. They put so much pressure just to catch a poor wolf.
“ GET AWAY FROM ME! “ Jadekinse shrieked. Nightcat came back again,
“ RUN JADE! RUN! “ Nightcat said.
Use your powers! Sophia said.
The sharks were already coming close.
Green vines had formed all around her back to her underbelly. She stood, and ejected the vines at the coming sharks.
Vines wrapped around the sharks, sucking the blood out of them until they were deflated like popped balloons. completely white. A couple of them swam away.
Jadekinse wouldn’t let that happen. She didn’t like her prey escaping. But her powers will make it easy for her to catch.
She hunched her back upward, ejecting the vines to a longer range. The sharks saw the upcoming vines ahead of them. They tried to avoid it by going in zig-zags. But it was too late. The vines had already found the advantage to wrap them and consume them.
Jadekinse felt like her vines were going to snap in half. She tried to stamp her paws in the hot sand to keep her stable, but the sharks were trying to wriggle free, which made her less-stable. She didn’t want to be blown into the water by the aggressive push if the sharks were free.
After a few minutes, everything began to feel normal and easy. Jadekinse retreated her vines towards her to send them back into her body.
“ How did I manage to do that? “ She said.
I wonder how. Sophia agreed.
Wait, did you see what I did? Jadekinse said.
Yes! It’s amazing, but also horrifying. I never seen anyone have that power like that before. Very cool.
Jadekinse felt complemented and superior like always everytime someone said something like that.
Do you guys have powers..Where ever you live? Jadekinse asked.
Yes. Sophia answered in a loyal tone. Actually…Maybe…Us..Non-wolves or so..Have land.
YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR OWN CONTINENT?! Jadekinse exclaimed.
Not the time! Sophia paused, get back to your palace! Nightcat—or whatever her name is, is waiting for you!
Jadekinse quickly sat up and swiftly dashed out of the place.
Time passed, and Nightcat sat in front of the closed huge, almond-shaped-colored doors. The golden vine swirls embedded and emitted around the door. It pulsed, and sprang golden glows all around. Like it was telling her a message.
Burst. The doors swang wide open at an unexpected moment. Nightcat fell back in shockness, Jadekinse stood in front of her like a hero-pose.
“ JADE! “ Nightcat peered at her shocked, appalled gaze over to her.
“ What? “ Jadekinse responded. Her confused gaze responded back at her.
“ The whole crowd is gone—and we need to go to bed! AND you got a bite on the nose you crazy-paw! “ She stood up but still appalled in severe shakiness.
Jadekinse observed her, shaking like a traumatized pup that just witnessed its first war. She patted on her nose to feel and inspect the blood. “ It's not that bad. “ She found the spot of blood and looked at her herself.
“ Did you fight them off?! “ Nightcat asked in a semi-shocked tone.
“ Yeah. Why? “ Jadekisne responded like nothing happened and she just cleared it without hesitation.
Nightcat swept off the dust on her paws aggressively, and checked every paw to not see a speck of dirt. Or else she finds some sort of way to get it off permanently.
“ Luckily you weren’t hurt. “ Jadekinse said.
“ Go to the sanatorium! Your bite looks bad from what I see. “ Nightcat observed.
I agree. Sophia said.
“ What? Why? I feel fine! “ Jadekinse protested.
“ The blood is leaking from your NOSE, Jade. “ Nightcat retorted, went up the stairs to go to her dorm.
Her pawsteps faded as the more she went up the levels until a loud, door shut had echoed down where Jadekinse could hear it in the silent, empty plaza.
She sighed, and did the same thing Nightcat did.
Up a few levels, she felt like she was always stopping at the level where the three, oval windows that always aligned the moon in the middle oval window. But at this point, the moon wasn’t in its spot. But close.
She ignored it and kept traveling up staircases. The bright, wide moonlight kept following her like laser pointers. Up at every level and every opening. Her back was pure moonlight. Any houseplant’s shadow wasn’t tall enough to prevent the moonlight pouring on her.
She stopped at her dorm, she opened the door knob with a gentle, quiet twist. An unexpected creak emerged from the door when she opened it.
“ Whoops. “ Jadekinse said, with a wide-eyed expression. She looked left and right for any unexpecting witnesses. She entered the dorm anyway as her expression softened.
She realized Sophia hadn’t talked in awhile.
Hello? She said in her mind.
No response.
Sophia would always talk to her at any second or any minute. But it looked like she was either in a different mind, or either with her own other..Mind readers.
But Jadekinse still wondered what Sophia’s life was like. Was her breed, species even real? If she’s a mind reader and stuck inside our minds, how come she says there are more than one of her? She could only find that answer if she’s seen her actual breed.
She sat there. She tried to close her eyes. She tried to. But Sophia, not talking to her, just kept bugging her. She wanted to talk to someone but not at the same time.
She rested her head down, eyes finally closed.
“ Not everyone makes mistakes. “

CHAPTER. 52
APPEARING, SURVIVED THE MONTHS. WELL, ACCEPT THE IMPORTANT
120Please respect copyright.PENANAPIQ1zXvWEc
A recognizing voice had spawned right in front of her so close. She opened her eyes, Pyre was right in front of her.
“ Pyre? “ Jadekinse said. Pyre stood there like she was a present, ready to be opened.
She glared at Pyre. She inspected her, but something was wrong about her.
This isn’t Pyre. She thought. If it is, she wouldn’t have come here much sooner. If did, she wouldn't just stand in front of me. She would be jumping with excitement like a dog. 120Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4bF5iTBYK
“ Pyre? Is this really.. You? “ Jadekinse lifted her paw and pressed it to the ground gently. She was suspicious about this Pyre. So she had to be cautious around it.
“ Hello? “ She repeated. No response. The Pyre just kept staring at her within every movement.
She dashed behind her, Pyre’s head turned behind her like an owl.
Jadekinse yelped, jumped and ran outside her dorm.
She ran until she stopped at the staircase.
She paused, she glared widely and frantically. straight at her dorm. Seeing if the Pyre would chase her or not.
It didn’t.
So she entered back in, the Pyre was gone. She was correct. She knew that Pyre was fake.
The real Pyre wouldn’t act like that. But why would she encounter a fake Pyre in the first place? Was it a test? Or was it a distraction?
Jadekinse felt played and teased. She hated being teased. Her being fooled wasn’t always common. But this one surely tricked her.
“ Ugh. “ Jadekinse scoffed and went back to bed.
She struggled to close her eyes once again. Hoping it didn't mean she mentally ill or some sort.
As soon she was about to close her eyes, the moon's shine poured down on her with a magnificent, large ray of moonlight. The window was closed, but the light had somehow invaded the window’s prevention. Which is what Jadekinse mostly liked about the moon’s special light.
She felt more safer and more alive now that the moon was by her side.
She finally closed her eyes, the stress had soothe enough. The moon healed her stressness.
120Please respect copyright.PENANAku6oTlnni1
So now it is gone again. Her comfort nightlight: The moon. Had faded away so sooner. The moon was like a muted therapist to her. Wishes the moon would always be by her side. But not everything can stay in its place.
Struggling to wake up, and the feeling of multiple stretches and muscle cramps. Jadekinse winced, her leg muscle sobbing in intense pain involuntarily.
She wanted to move, but both of her legs had cramps. So now she had to walk on her paws with her legs dragging like a demented slug. Her legs were dislocated, which is what it feels like right now.
Jadekinse yelped when she took another step, she sat up like a dog and began to lick her paresthesia leg, thinking it would be better, but really: it’s not.
After that, she plopped down like a flat carpet.
“ I hate this stupid — Paresthesia..Thingy. “ She began to transition to laying on her back tiredly.
She closed her eyes, until her door blew open.
She shrieked, her head concussed against the aggressive act as she collapsed against her bed with a loud thump.
She struggled to open her eyes, she blinked to clear the blurry visions that emitted around the corner of her eyes.
When finished, she saw a shocked, terrified Windbreaker stood appallingly right in front of the entrance door.
“ JADE! “ He called with shock. He needed to see if Jadekinse was ordinary enough to look like she could listen to his announcement.
“ W-what? “ She said, rubbing her forehead and closing her eyes with aching damage. She felt like she wanted to rip and bite off Windbreaker’s paws for that.
“ SAKURA’S DEAD! “

ANOTHER LOSS, BUT MORE STRUGGLES TO GO THROUGH.
120Please respect copyright.PENANA1YaGVCUQE8
Jadekinse’s eyes widened with fear and anxiety.
“ Sakura’s DEAD?! “ She echoed with fear, she lunged toward him with “this-can’t-be-true” eyes.
Windbreaker backed away slightly, but his eyes were wide as hers. He nodded, and soon, she started to sob.
When she began the act, she started to hear crying and screaming agony below her.
Sakura’s DEAD. Jadekinse howlered in her head. WE DON’T HAVE A LEADER! Wait, WHERE’S SOPHIA?! This is something important this time! SOPHIA!
Windbreaker turned around as soon he heard the commotion down below.
It turns out the pack found out all at once.
“ SAKURA’S DEAD! WHERE’S VERMON?! We need a leader!! “ A male voice shrieked from below, the loudest out of the commotion.
Windbreaker fixed his head at Jadekinse. “ We need to go down there and witness. “ He stamped his paws on the ground, which meant it was important.
The wolves paced down the staircases, every level that had resources, no wolves were seen.
They stopped with an aggressive break, there was a massive, flooded crowd of crying wolves that filled the almost two staircases down to the plaza. Pups were also there for the ceremony.
We had THIS many wolves? Jadekinse thought.
Windbreaker and Jadekinse stopped at the middle of the staircase that led halfway down to the central plaza.
Jadekinse tried to squeeze herself in and take a glimpse of herself, but the pack of wolves were blocking the ceremony. It was impossible to catch herself a glimpse of the incident.
She nudged her snout against Windbreaker’s shoulder. “ Hey, “ Her action didn’t catch his attention, so she tried again. “ Hey! “ 120Please respect copyright.PENANAh0muIULwOt
Windbreaker spun around to look at her with a confused gaze.
“ What? “
“ I can’t see what's happening!! “ Jadekinse tried to catch herself a glimpse again by taking the easier routes, none of them worked.
Windbreaker was at a wider gap where he could see better.
“ It’s just a…Carved heart-shaped rock with a vine crown wrapped around it. And there’s also apple blossoms scattered around the bedroom. “ He observed.
Jadekinse’s ears went down.
Sakura loves apple blossoms. She thought. That's what her name kind of means anyways.
Who? Sophia interrupted.
Sophia! You're here! Jadekinse said cheerfully and with relief.
Yeah? And? What’i miss out on? Sophia replied.
Sakura’s…Dead. Jadekinse said.
Your leader is dead? Sophia cried. Do you guys even have a deputy?
We-we do! Jadekinse started, it’s just..We don’t know where he is. Hopefully he isn’t dead too. He’s been gone for about a week. So maybe my hypothesis is right.
Is the entire pack over there?! Are you there? Sophia said.
Yes. And so am I with Windbreaker. Wait, can't you see exactly how I see? Jadekinse replied.
Well, yeah, but not..Much. Sophia responded.
120Please respect copyright.PENANANjLP55RCfO
Windbreaker’s gaze was focused on the funeral. Jadekinse spun to the funeral, pups that were down there had tried to grab the decorations that were scattered on there. A pup managed to grab an apple blossom and ate it, but later on, he or she was smacked by his or her parents.
“ It’s… —So… — Crowded! “ Jadekinse cried, she kept getting shoved and pushed by all the wolves that came crashing down the staircases. There was barely any air to breathe.
Jadekinse tried to squirm to freedom, as she was getting shoved forward progressively, she saw Windbreaker up ahead at the last staircase that led to the plaza. Even though she was still kilometers away from him.
She kept glaring at him until he eventually eye contacted her, his eyes caught her, her body was almost squished into a flat piece of bread.
“ Jade! “ Windbreaker called, Jadekinse couldn’t hear him through the raucous crowd. “ JADE!! “ He’d shrieked again with a serious, almost-terrified face. still no response from her.
Jadekinse was looking at him, although she could see his mouth moving but couldn't calculate what he was saying.
It felt like she was on a slow, flowing stream that rode her till the destination. The crowd was like a ride. She didn’t need to use her paws at all to get where she wanted to go. The crowd did it for her.
She gazed back at Windbreaker if he was still trying to talk to her,
“ JADE!!! OVER HERE!! “ He’d shriek again, but it sounded like it was his final breath to use.
This time, she could hear him.
“ WIND! I CAN HEAR YOU NOW! “ Near her, multiple wolves gave her stern and surprised glances. Several whispers had flown across like systems, they thought the wolf named “wind” was her mate.
Windbreaker’s face softened, then he returned back down, observing the funeral of Sakura.
The entire crowd was still shifting to get a better view, then eventually Windbreaker was picked up and floating on his back too like Jadekinse.
Jadekinse smiled when she saw that, he winked back, then continued looking forward.After half an hour, the crowd was finished carrying them and the two were finally back on they’re paws.
The entire crowd kept wiping their tears with their paws, and so did some of the pups.
The RainWolves came in last, and Ronnie was spotted squished to the rails. As more and more Rainwolves came, she began to growl and bark her way through the crowd and they avoided her in shock and scared, making a pathway down where she headed, Jadekinse and Windbreaker.
So much sad chattering had formed from the crowd throughout the hours. And all of it was about Sakura.
Then, came in Vermon, the deputy. He climbed up the slabbed, oval massive rocks that stacked till the very edges. His tannish fur looked ragged, cut, and massive, wounded bleeding scars were on both of his shoulders.
The scar looked like it was a bear's attack.
Some of the wolves made gasps with their paws covered.
“ Oh, Vermon. '' Jadekinse said lightly. Ronnie and Windbreaker were crying and whimpering.
Vermon sat at the top of the rocks, he glared down at the crowd, took an inhale and exhaled, to make a speech.

CHAPTER. 54
ANNOUNCE WITNESSES
120Please respect copyright.PENANALPsKZHBq6K
Before Vermon would speak, he had to make sure the crowd was silent. Everywhere he scanned, the crowd went silent with struck glares.
“ My announcement, “ He started, “ sadly, Sakura, our dearest and most important, proper leader. Has died by InfernoWolves. “
The crowd went furious, frenzied with rage and, angry faces were on some of the wolves faces. But some had confuzzled faces like they knew why.
InfernoWolves?! Jadekinse thought, Why had she gone to their territory?! What was she doing?! The InfernoWolves KNOW better not to kill a leader! But a leader shouldn’t be leaving camp in the first place. I.. —Don’t get this..
She buried her paws in her face.
“ Wait, why would she go there in the first place?! Their territory?! She knows better! Unless she had important stuff to do! “ He cried. Ronnie agreed.
“ Yeah, Why would Sakura leave her palace in the first place if it was something important in their territory? Was there a meeting? “ She flicked her tail with an arrant glare at the two wolves.
“ Was she ambushed? I don’t think Pyre and her pack would kill leaders.. — Unless vengeance happened, then maybe.“ Jadekinse said.
“ I don’t think so.. —Like you said, Sakura knows better about a lot of stuff. And so do the other pack leaders. “ Windbreaker objected.
As Vermon kept talking, one of the wolves in the crowd held a small, spiked bat with metal pricks dotted everywhere. They held it quite awhile, until they stealthy moved behind the crowd with the bat on the other side of their body to act like they weren’t being suspicious. But the grin they had kind of gave it away.
Ronnie glared at the wolf with the bat, her face snarling like a hissing feline.
She darted her face at Windbreaker and pointed at the suspect.
“ Is he up to something? “ Windbreaker whispered closely against her ear. Jadekinse curiously snuck upon them in the middle to investigate the conversation.
The wolf began to dashed silently to their left, but as soon the wolf got closer to Ronnie with deeply monitored eyes, narrowing down at them, she began to summon her ring crystal spikes that orbited around her body and began to jail the victim.
The victim gasped as the crowd shook with sudden fear, looking at the commotion.
Ronnie drew the victim closer to her, she glared and narrowed deeply at him. “ What do you think YOUR doing? “ She bared her teeth at him; as Rainwolves are known for their sharp sabertooth-like fangs.
“ Nothing! — Nothing! “ He claimed frantically, squirming around like a little worm in the act. His frustrated glance darted towards hers as he growled, but Ronnie jabbed the spikes into his body with more pressure as he did.
Vermon saw the entire thing, his heart and brain told him to stop the commotion, but his wounds told him to wait and heal.
“ Let go of him Ronnie. “ Jadekinse forced sharply into her ear.
Ronnie groaned with annoyance and canceled her powers against him, the spikes faded away and the victim was free. He ran to pick up the bat, but Jadekinse summoned her vines quickly enough to beat him to the bat and caught it instead.
The wolf looked at her with a furrowed growl.
“ Too bad, so sad. “ She teased, wiggling the bat in her vines like a play toy.
Vermon chuckled quietly, but he couldn't keep up with his speech, and his wounds were throbbing in pain as he continued throughout. He also realized his tan was starting to turn pale the more he got hurt.
“ If only Sakura could help, it would be a miracle. “ He looked at his dirty pink paw pads, covered in decomposed grass he walked on.
“ Meeting ended.. “ He said in a dry voice. He got off the slabbed rocks, limping and then to the sanatorium. As soon he leaped off the rock, wolves gathered and huddled around him, worryingly.
Some of the crowd separated into their business. But still scared of what happened to the suspect.
“ Ronnie, whatever you did, I hope you don’t get in trouble. “ Windbreaker said softly. He had his heart set on her succeeding without trouble. It’s too harsh for a tribe to be this soft.
Ronnie looked at him and scoffed. “ Why are you so soft about me? “ She said. “ I’ll be fine, besides, I'm the only wolf who has these types of powers in the rainforest. I don’t know why, but it's more useful than I thought it would be. “ She would summon one of her crystal shards and levitate it around her like a cat’s toy.
Windbreaker chuckled, “ Well, just be careful. Your powers aren’t that effective towards some wolves. “
“ It’s still good in my opinion! “ She flicked her tail at him. “Anyways, what are some wolves?”
A sudden tingle had run through his fur and up to his head.
Harper? He thought.
“The mystery wolf that hurt Harper.” Windbreaker added, “Just a thought.” Harper does not know who hurt her. Windbreaker thought “What if the wolf that hurt Harper KILLED Sakura!”
“I doubt that but just to be cautious, we should trap it in case it hurts more than just Harper.” Ronnie added in. “We should then probably get the group together.”
“ Agreed, “ Said Donna.
“AHH.” Yelped Windbreaker, as he leaped back a foot or two at Donna’s sudden appearance. “You-,” he struggled to catch his breath, “You startled me.” He finished.
Donna’s ears flicked back, “Sorry.” She said half sarcastically. “But we should probably work on finding out what type of wolf attacked Harper, maybe Harper remembered something. I think we should all meet and decide.”
“Where.”
“Inferno pack territory, The Smolder Rock.”

When all the wolves got there Donna said “Okay, we need to make a plan.”
“For what again. I have seemed to forget what we were here to do, wait no NOBODY TOLD ME” Windbreaker said. “You,” he said and glared at Jadeknise, “woke me up at, what, like 4 AM to come here.”
“It was 6 am, and we're here to talk about the thing that hurt Harper.” Jadekinse corrected. “Harper, do you remember anything about the wolf that hurt you?”
“Really, guys we don’t have to do this for me, There better be another reason.” Harper said, tail twitching with annoyance. “Also I don’t remember anything other than, whoever it was, smelled like sand.”
“Sand, sand, sand. Maybe a desert or a beach wolf?” Ronnie said. “What would they look like?” He started pacing as he thought about the question. “Also what could we use to bait it. And stop its powers if it has any.”
Windbreaker trembled. “ ..What powers?,” he shuddered. “Like death — I do not want to die.” I found it, Sophia thought to Jadekinse.
“Wait.” Jadeknise said out loud. You found the mind of what hurt Harper. He thought excitedly, We’re finally getting somewhere. In response Sophia said, Yes It is a desert wolf with an airwolf.
Can I tell them that you exist? He asked. Yes, fine. “Guys, I have a mind reader.” And I named her Sophia. “And she found the wolf that hurt Harper.” Ronnie gestured to continue. “It is a Desert Wolf with an Airwolf.”
“So a DESSERT wolf.” Windbreaker said in awe, “Does it give us free food?” From laying down with boredom he suddenly jumped to his paws. “I want free food.” He whined. And did a circle with barking and excitement.
“A desert wolf.” Donna corrected with a sigh. “No, Windbreaker— just no.” she rolled her eyes from his immature behavior. “Be shocked but we need a plan. AND MORE MATURE WOLVES.” She said scowling at Windbreaker.

“Don’t be childish, she's long dead.” Donna sighed. “This is kinda what I was talking about, childish.”
“Just a thought.” He grumbled. He sighed and laid down glaring at a flower. He gleamed with anger, too embarrassed to speak. “Well, you try to make a plan.” He scoffed.
“Okay-” Donna said cautiously. Her ears flicked. “We need to find out if-”
“THAT IS AN AWFUL PLAN” he said
“I didn't even finish my sentence!” She yelped angrily. Then at that some wolf emerged from the bush. With a cloak and slashed at them and then darted away leaving everyone stunted. They saw her leap into the forest and dart away.
“Well, that’s a plan.” Jadekinse sighed. “But not a good one…”
