"I took Trudy's advice," he calls to her. He goes off to hunt. He brings back two deer and drops them onto the pile. The small pack is fighting on the side of the clearing. He looks closer, this wasn't training it was a real fight. He dashes over and plunges between them. "All you're doing is weakening yourselves before the battle! Why does blood have to revolve around everything that has to do with you!?" he hisses. Canyon looks calmer than ever. "Blood made us, blood came before us, that is what we are," she replies coldly. "Well, while your with us, peace is what you're made of," Ashes snarls. "We can be our own selves if we leave," Sky remarks. "This place does us some good," Stone reminds her.

Rising Ashes trots away with his neck fur bristling. 'Why are they ignorant?' he thought. He paces around the clearing, not quite sure what to do next.He trots over to Lapping Wave. "Now, can we please start?" he asks.

"Clear your mind," Lapping Wave instructs. "Canis resides in it. Now, think of Lupus. Try to force him out."

Rising Ashes clears his mind of his life. He sees only darkness. Rising Ashes closes his eye and focuses. There is a flash, then, a terrified young wolf. Then, a bear with a cub. Then were it all started, Canis. That one dead eye starring strate into him. That black wolf morphs into a white wolf, who touches him lightly with the tip of her tale. Then that beautiful moment, vanishes.

Lapping Wave lets Lupus momentarily possess her. She rests her muzzle on Rising Ashes's head, and Lupus murmurs an ancient blessing "You've been blessed by Lupus," she tells him. "Now, clear your mind again. Eventually you'll learn how to fight Canis, but for now all you need do is to keep him from finding your thoughts, and the things you care for."

Rising Ashes looks gratefully at her. "How can I ever repay you?" he asked so quite it sounded like a swan hiding from a fox.

Lapping Wvae looks at her paws. "You can let me help you. It's my life's purpose to fight Canis, and to help others fight him."

Rising Ashes looks at her. 'Shouldn't I do it alone?' He thought. "I think I should do this alone," he tells her. He walks off. Then, he sees a black wolf raising after something. He looks closer. It was only a squirrel with one gaping eye. The wolf was huge and black, it gave the wolf a frightening look. Then he watched the wolf not eat it, but rip it into a million gruesome pieces. As Rising Ashes began to prowess it, the squirrel became him, and the wolf became Canis. "That is what will happen!" Rising Ashes gasps. He dashes through the woods and back to Lapping Wave. "You're coming with me," he says.

"Where?" Lapping Wave asks, puzzled.

"On my quest to save myself of coarse!" he snaps. "It's a journey through the mind, not physically."

Lapping Wave rolls her eyes. "No duh I'm coming with you, deer-brain. Do you think you'd survive without me?"

Rising Ashes thinks about what she says. 'No duh I won't survive!' he thought. "Always a stroke of luck near by," he reminds her. "But I doubt it'll be beside Canis," he adds. He looks down at his metal leg. 'This will save me,' he thought. As he looks down, he sees his leg is squirming around. 'I can't have a leg with it's own mind!' he thought. He excuses himself from the small meeting. He walks to the edge of the river and looks down at a one eyed beast. "This won't help," he tells himself firmly. "I am a wolf, not a human." He jerks it off and it falls into the river with a splash. He watches it sink until there is an explosion of sand and he sees the leg sticking out of the sand, were it will stay forever.

Lapping Wave steps up to Rising Ashes and looks down at the leg. "That's your beginning," she whispers. The one-eyed wolf looks quizzically at her. "My what?" "You're beginning to break free of Canis," Lapping Wave tells him. "That leg was spawn of Canis. It had a mind of its own. It could have killed wolves. Canis wanted you to have that leg, and you threw it away."

"Won't he try to take revenge?" he asked puzzled. He looked down at the leg but it had vanished into the churning depths of the river.

Lapping Wave shrugs. "No, he'll try harder to possess you know that he knows that he's losing power over you."
