Shining Ember drank water from a stream. Her lonely eyes stared up at the moon. She howled. Her beautiful howls rang out into the night. Just as she turned to leave, she heard squeals. Her ears stood straight up and she listened closely. She heard screeching, nighthawks. What are those nighthawks up to now? Shining Ember wondered. She followed the sound, into the forest. Shining Ember stopped. There, a few yards away, was the most akwardest creature she had ever seen. Nighthawks were diving down from the trees and pecking at the squealing creature. The creature was a dull brown wolf cub. Instead of fur, it had feathers, and all its paws were normal, except for its front right paw. Instead of being a paw, it was a talon. Also, it had small, feathered wings. It looked desparetly at Shining Ember. Shining darted toward the creature and stood protectivly in front of it. When a nighthawk swooped down, Shining Ember lept up as high as a wolf can jump and grabbed the nighthawk. Shining Ember let it go. Screeching, the nighthawks flew off. Shining Ember turned to the creature. She looked around to see if it had a den-nest, or parents. None were found. Shining Ember picked the small cub up. Its whimpers had an owlish tone. When Shining Ember came back to her den she set the cub down. She licked the small creature and then shared some deer with it. Shining Ember got excited. "If you can't find your parents, you can be mine!" The owl-cub set its taloned foot on Shining Ember's shoulder. Shining Ember stared at the young cub and got an idea. "I'll name you, Talon Wings." Shing Ember said happily.

"Thats it! You got it!" Shining Ember cheered. She was helping Talon wings get stronger, and faster. Talon Wings darted and attacked a small bush. She tumbled and rolled into some other bushes. "Talon?" Shining Ember asked walking over to the bush. "Here I am!" Talon Wings said, popping out from the bush. "Lets go for a walk." said Shining Ember. "Maybe you'll finally catch some prey!" She added. "I sure hope so." Talon Wings said. Shining Ember looked at Talon Wings as they walked. I must protect her. No matter what happens, I will protect this cub!

They soon returned back to the den. Shining Ember layed down to take a nap. "You can play around, but just stay out of trouble. So, just stay in the den." She said before dozing off. Ignoring her mother's warning, Talon Wings walked outside of the den and sat by a boulder to think. Why won't she let me explore any other territories? She thought. "I am perfectly capable of going out on my own!" she whispered. "I'm going to explore no matter what. If she wants me to stay out of trouble, then too bad!" She said angrily. Talon Wings loved her mother, but she didn't understand why she couldn't go out of Vulroxaw territory. Talon Wings ran off. She still wasn't that fast, but she tried hard. When she had gotten a distance away from her den, she noticed she was leaving pawprints. She sighed. She knew she was different for her mother, but in what way? Talon wings noticed that she had wings, and her mother didn't. Wings! The word came to Talon Wings. She spread her wings and lept up. Nothing happened. She spent two hours practicing, but then, she finally got it. It took her a few tries to fly, but she also got it. She flew off, and away from her den.

Talon Wings soon became tired, and stopped to rest. It seemed so lonely without her mother, and she was getting hungry. What if she couldn't hunt anything to eat? What if she couldn't get home? She layed down and fell asleep. The next day, she set out again. She had been traveling for three hours, until she started smelling Qakaarti scent. Had she flown into another territory? Talon Wings became excited and lighted down on the ground and followed the scent. As she came nearer toward the scent she started to become nervous. She remembered what her mother had said. What trouble am I getting myself into? She thought

Talon Wings noted Shadow Fire's warning and watched her leave in a hurry. When Talon Wings arrived at the den, Shining Ember greeted her. "Talon! Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you!" She cried. "Sorry, mom." Talon Wings dipped her head down. "I don't want you going outside without me, okay? I've heard word that that..." Shining Ember paused heisitantly. "Nevermind that. Just don't leave without me." "Okay." Talon Wings said. "No promises."She said when Shining Ember turned around to get some food for her. Talon Wings had an idea.

"What!?" Shining Ember cried. "I don't believe this! My cub is innocent. She told me she was going to her friend's house." Shining Ember started pacing back and forth. She had just received information that Talon Wings was becoming a spy. This couldn't possibly be true. She sighed. "But what if Talon Wings is becoming a spy?" She asked herself.

"Shadow Fire?!" Shining Ember shouted in rage. "Thanks for the message." She said to Silver Heart, before running off to find her cub.

"Shining EMBER" called Angel " i've got Talon Wings shes here" Angel ran over giving Shining Ember Talon Wings " Shadow Fire brought her to me to give to you in fact she's comeback without any marks or scratches on her which surprises me because Shadow's not one to let things go. she left me with these words though keep her away from the Xarinda pack if she finds that Talon Wings is in her pack lands again she will tear her to shreds i know we are friends but now that all packs are at war shes not letting anything go to chance." Angel sighed "good luck"

"Thanks Angel!" Shining Ember almost cried with relief. I'll make sure she doesn't get anywhere near the border. She paused. "Could you tell Shadow im very sorry?" Talon Wings now spoke, "I can explain myself!" "Be quiet! You've caused enough trouble already." Shining Ember said sternly. "But MOM!" She Talon Wings whined. "Shh...! I'm talking to Angel!" Shining Ember hissed. "Anways," Shining Ember sighed. "stay safe!" Shining Ember said to Angel.

"Explain yourself." Shining Ember said to Talon Wings. " Well, I thought it would be a good idea to be a spy. You know, with my wings and all." Talon Wings said nervously. "You thought it was a good idea to be a spy. Talon, you could have been been hurt!" Shining Ember said. "I have more to say!" Talon Wings said. "Go on." Shining Ember said. "I wanted to be a spy to stop battles from happening. We are all wolves. We should be teaming up against the hunters! Not fighting each other." Shining Ember saw sincerity in Talon Wings' eyes. "If thats what you want to do," Shining Ember said, "then go ahead." Shining Ember's eyes started to well up with tears. Talon Wings jumped up and down with joy. " Really?! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Talon Wings cried cheerfully. "Just, be careful." Shining Ember warned. "I will!" Talon Wings said. The two settled down to eat. The next day, Talon Wings walked to her den.

Talon Wings returned to Shining Ember's den. "Mom, I'm-" She stopped short as she approached the den. It's entrance was blocked by a fallen tree. Talon Wings flew into a little opening, lit a stick on fire, and held it in her talons for light. "Mom?" She said. She looked over and saw Shining Ember on the floor of the cave. Her pelt was ragged and wet. Talon Wings nudged her mother. Shining Ember looked up. "Talon..." She whispered. "Mom? What happened?" Talon Wings said. Shining Ember got up and shook her pelt. Her den was a mess, a wreck. "There was a storm Talon. Everything was ruined! Including my den. I'm comepletely out of food, thirsty, and trapped in here." Shining Ember looked down. Talon Wings looked at her mother. "I can bring you food and water." She said. Shining Ember was overjoyed. "Oh, thank you so much Talon! I can't tell you how happy I am!" She cried. Talon Wings flies out to gather water and food for Shining Ember.
