Lapping Wave is fighting skillfully with Glowing Ember. "Can't you see I'm doing something?" she growls through gritted teeth.

He leaps over to Stone. He slides under his belly and sticks out his club leg, flipping him on his side. Stone jumps up and lunges at Rising Ashes. Rising Ashes dodges it quickly. With a swipe, Stones paw smacks his jaw. Rising Ashes runs up to Sky to his right, he pushes with his hind legs and launches himself at Stone. When he lands, they become a screaming ball of wolves rolling around the ground. His soft paws, he pins Stone down. "That is how a Xarinda wolf fights!" he growls as he lets go.

Glowing Ember lunges at Lapping Wave, snapping her jaws with curved lips where the she-wolf's throat was. Lapping Wave jumps back and swipes at Glowing Ember's face. She leaps into the shallow part of the river, luring Glowing Ember in. She rears up, and forces the glowing wolf's head under. Glowing Ember swipes out and causes Lapping Wave to trip, then pins her in the water. The white wolf surges up, then leaps over Glowing Ember and onto dry land.

Rising Ashes looks around the clearing. Every wolf is battle training. He even sees Bear talking to the bears. He looks for a wolf to train with. He sits down. Eventually, he walks off into the woods. As he looks into the woods, he sees two foxes. One is a white one and the other is black. There is a menacing evil look in the black foxes eye. It walks toward him. Rising Ashes isn't the slightest bit scared. Foxes are much smaller than wolves. Then, he remembers an old cub den tale warning that Canis and Lupus could take many different forms. Then, every time he saw something white he would tell his mother he had seen Lupus. Then he realizes why he remembers this, just then the white fox attacks the black wolf and tries to drag it away from Rising Ashes. He realizes, there is a chance these are Canis and Lupus. The black one lets out a beastly screech, like the one he had heard from Canis before. He darts back to camp. What if he had just lead them to camp? 'I'm putting my pack in danger!' he thought desperately. He leaps back into the woods. When he goes to the clearing he had seen the foxes, both of them are gone.

"Canis!" screeches Lapping Wave, launching herself at the fox. Lupus vanishes, and Lapping Wave feels the power of the wolf goddess flowing into her. She pins Canis with the power of Lupus. His red eyes glitter, and he vanishes. Lapping Wave feels Lupus leave her, and she screams into the air, "I'll never stop fighting you!"

"Canis IS TRYING TO FIND ME." Rising Ashes breathes. "He wants me, for something, I don't know what. He shows me death, to specific wolves. I don't know if they will happen," he growls. "Pain, death, hunters, bullet," he breathes. "And that was all."

"It will happen, I'm sure of it. The pack needs you more than I. No one can save me but me. He wants me, no one else. I can't live guarded like a precious god. I would rather die than live that life," he says. He walks into the clearing of the camp. He turns to Lapping Wave. He catches a glimpse of Canis, but then vanishes. "Help."

Lapping Wave dips her head to Shadow Fire. "I'm fine," she reassures the Xarinda alpha. "I've been blessed and possessed by Lupus numerous times. I was born to fight Canis. My life has no other purpose. Lupus chose the weakest, the runt, the cub who was born nearly dead. I am the chosen wolf," she adds proudly.

" stay safe and strong but just howl if you need me" Shadow dips her head respectfully and trots back to camp.

Rising Ashes hears what Wave says. "I am possessed by Canis. I was born to fight Lupus, I was the chosen one," he tells himself. As he does, a voice so soft but evil none the less howls through the wind. Rising Ashes leaps off into the woods. He goes as far as he can go with out leaving for good. He sits down. "Listen up Canis! I do not want to help you! Pick a wolf that does have a fate that lies with you!" He howls. The reply is cold and harsh but not soft like the wind. "Your fate lies with me!"

Lapping Wave steps up to Rising Ashes and feels Lupus within her. "Be strong," Lupus's voice tells him. "Die before you give in to Canis."

Rising Ashes thinks about what Lupus had said. 'I will have to kill myself, Canis can't haunt me forever,' Ashes thinks. He glumly walks over to the fresh kill pile. 'This will be the last piece of fresh kill I will ever have,' he decides. He eats it slowly. 'Why was it me? Why me?' he thinks. But as he looks around, he sees that all of the wolves are tired after battle training. 'I must stay a bit longer,' he tells himself. He walks off into the woods, only to be followed by Trudy. "You look down," she remarks. "Couldn't be more right," he replies sadly. "You know, you don't have the key to happiness," she barks. "Not a million keys could unlock MY happiness," he replies coldly. She look up at him. "Save wolves lives, I kill every hunter in sight! And look at me," she says. He looks her up and down. Not a single part of her was slumping. She leaps off into the woods without another word. He walks on. He hears splashing. He walks to the edge of the river, an owl is caught in some human net, thrashing wildly. Ashes leaps into the water and swims out to the owl. He tears open the net. The owl swoops out and screeches a thank you. Ashes didn't understand, but it felt pretty good. He leaps to shore. He walks around the forest feeling one step further to happiness.
