Back at the village Adwar and Arnias are learning to hunt and training to be soldiers.

"Adwar take him head on" Arnias shouted and Adwar tackled the bush.

"I got him" he shouted excitedly. Then a squirrel crawled out of the tree and ran away.

"Don't let him get away" Adwar commanded. Arnias ran through the trees keeping his eyes on the prey. Arnias was led to a giant canyon and Adwar stopped behind him.

"You let him get away mouse brain".

"I'm sorry Adwar" he said putting his ears down.

"It's ok it's just that we haven't had a kill in 5 days"

"I know" Arnias said angrily.

"What is that" Adwar said staring at the sun. Arnias turned and saw a birdish figure in front of the sun flying towards them.

"Is that a bird" Adwar asked

"If it is it's got weight problems" Then they saw a flash of fire coming from it's mouth.

"that's a dragon"

"We gotta warn the village"

"I think it's too late for that" he said as the giant blue dragon landed in front of them.

"Well it looks like i found my snack for the day" Cyril said with a hiss.

"We won't be your feast" Arnias said said biting at Cyril's leg. Adwar helped Arnias attack and bring down the mighty beast.

"You wolves are pathetic" Cyril retorted. Adwar kept attacking him and then Cyril slashed his claws at him.

"Arnias run to the village and get help don't turn around and whatever you hear don't turn around". Arnias nodded his head and ran towards the village. Cyril grabbed Adwar in his jaws and squeezed his jaws shut.

As Arnias was running he heard a loud whine. He paused and looked back. I have to keep going he thought but when he looked up at the sky he saw Cyril flying away. Arnias ran back to his brother.

"Adwar are you" but he was cut off to see his brother surrounded by a pool of blood his white fur was stained red. Arnias licked his head.

"Brother please wake up you can't leave me". Tears fell from his eyes and he tilted his head back and howled. After several minutes wolves were howling with him and they came to his side.

"What happened" they asked sniffing Adwar.

"That monster Cyril did this we were hunting then Cyril showed up and we both tried to fight him but he told me to run and to not look back".

"Let's get him back to the village". They put Adwar's limp body onto Amoux's back. Arnias was ashamed of himself he felt like he was responsible for his death. When they reached the village Amoux gently set him down. When Arnias arrived his mother ran to him and nudged him. Arnias explained to her what had happened and she looked at him in shock. But it's all my fault that he gone because I left him.

"Son it isn't your fault". Diablos was flying towards the village.

"I have news" he screeched as he plummeted to the ground". You could tell he was in battle because his feathers were atted and some were missing.

"What's the news" Amoux asked excitedly.

"Well there is some good news and bad news what do you wanna hear first". Arnias, his mother, and Amoux looked at each other.

"Um bad news".

"Well Shao Kahn is dead" Diablo said. Arnias lowered his head and His mom licked it gently.

"Well the good news is that we defeated Alucard and the army is on the way".

"How many wolves made it" Amoux asked.

"20 wolves and their wounds need tended to"

"Ok but we need more supplies I will tell the healer" Arnias's mom said as she walked to her den. Later that night they had a ceremony and burned Adwar's body. Amarog is a wolf who can talk to the spirits of the ancestors.

"Ancestors we are now at war and we need you to guard and guide us. Watch over Adwar and Shao Kahn and know that they will never leave our hearts and minds". They watched as Adwar's body disappeared. A heavy wind blew and Amarog said

"Adwar you would have made an amazing warrior but after what has happened you earned your armor". The wind blew even harder. Arnias turned and walked passed the healer's den and saw all the wounded wolves. He crawled into his den and started to cry and whine. He fell into a deep sleep. A few hours later his nightmares had waken him. He shook it off and went back to sleep.
