Kate couldn't understand where she was.

Have the humans retaken me?

But that wouldn't make sense. They had cleared the valley for humans a long time ago, and humans were never out this time of year.  The golden-brown wolf flicked her tail out from the bushes that her friend Humphrey. They hid there until Kate couldn't hold her curiosity and stood up. "Kate!" Humphrey hissed out, stepping up to stop the young female wolf from advancing.

"What?" she said, her voice flat and uninterested. "we don't know where we are; shouldn't we be hiding?" he asked, his head swirling from one side to another, trying to recognize where they were. But he had never been in this forest before, and all the secnets were different. This forest was too dark too to be home.

SNAP!

The two wolves turned around, teeth bared. But what came out of the darkness of the forest wasn't who they were expecting at all. "Lilly, Garth?!" Kate exclaimed, confused to see her sister and fiance here. The white wolf smiled at the sight of her sister and ran over, overjoyed to know that she was alive "there you are!" she said, nuzzling the golden brown wolf and smiling at Humphrey, who smiled back.

"I thought we would never find you! mother and father are so worried!" Lilly said and sat down on her hindquarters. Garth is an arrogant alpha jock wolf with muscular building stature, and his fur is russet, and he has a cream snout, chest, stomach, and paws. He has pine-green eyes

"Well, I think it is safe to go back now, dont you?" he said, stepping up to the white wolf and giving her a soft nuzzle. The other three nodded, but that's when their ears picked up a soft growling, and they all became alert.

"Okay, whatever happens, we have to stay together," Humphrey says as he sinks to the forest floor where pine neelds litter the floor. His friends nod, grouping tighter together. And out from the shadows comes a gray-blue striped creature with golden gleaming eyes. Its lips are drawn in a vicious snarl, and long black claws shimmer on its hands and feet. "who are you, and what are you doing here?" it asks, voice raw with anger and hostility. The wolves shuvier but keep up the touch cart.

"We are wolves from Jaster Park in Canada. Where are we?" kate says, taking the word and standing tall among her friends. The creature stopped its growling and looked at her with a confused face "Jasper Park? Canada? no, little wolf, there is no such place here," he said and stood straight, his golden eyes scanning these new trespassers. "but if you must know where you are, its Tiressea the Kingdom of Dreams" Blue says and flick his tail to a guest of the great forest. "and you are in Leovern Woodland our natural and only forest."

The four wolves nodded, and the creature smiled at them, the hostility leaving his bold "I am Blue," he said with a dip of his head. The wolves smiled, and Kate stepped up. "I'm Kate, and this is Humphrey, Lilly, and Garth," she said, flicking her tail to each wolf as she introduced them.

Blue smiled again and turned around, walking back the way he came. The wolves looked at each other and shrugged "are you guys coming?" called Blue, suddenly starting the wolves "yes!" called Humphrey, and the five ran after the gray raptor, who, when they reached him, sat off into a swift sprint. The wolves had a little trouble following him.

But soon enough, he stopped in a misty clearing. Once Kate, Humphrey, Lilly, and Garth stopped behind them, they were panting hard, trying to regain their breath. Blue watched them amusedly and chirped, "do not tell me you have not run that fast before?" Kate glared at him but soon shook her head "no, we haven't," panted Garth before clearing his throat and straightening. "Usually, we only run if we have to. Our forest is calm enough that we don't have to run from our problems."

Blue chuckled and lashed his tail "well, here there are bigger creatures than me and my friend and have ever faced, so we always have to be on our guard. But despite that, this is the best realm we've been to. and- and you should meet our friend Dazyn!" at the end of the scene, Blue practically purred. It was clear that this 'Dazyn' was someone he was very fond of.

the five wolves looked at each other and then back at Blue "uh, who is this Dazyn you speak of?" Lilly asked shyly. She was scared that the raptor would snap at her like anyone else did when she asked questions. Blue gave her a titled head look before smiling again "oh, just the most beautiful beast I've ever seen! I can get her if you want. After all, this is her Kingdom, so you should speak with her," Blue said and turned around before sprinting off, leaving the five wolves to wonder how in all the moons, they even wound up here.

But they liked it so far. No one was trying to eat them yet, anyway.

◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥

I look at the wolves as Blue presents me for them.

I have no royal title, but my name and somewhat title seemed enough for these mutts. Ripper does not seem satisfied that his freind has brought strangers into our lands or at least let them stay.

"That is against our laws!" Ripper hisses as he and Blue stand a few paces away from the pack of wolves that are watching them with drooping ears. I sigh as I give a guttural sound to grab the two quarreling parts' attention.

"Go and inform the king and queen about our newcomers. Tell them that I am keeping an eye and will make sure the wolves won't leave this forest before it is ordered," I say, and Blue immediately nods, running off. But Ripper hangs back his scarlet eyes on who seems to be the weakest wolf, the white one, and he sneers before following Blue into the darkness of the forest, and I am left alone with four shaken wolves.

Ha! Joy...
