IDITAROD TRAIL

Nuli stood up and looked in the direction of the howl, she cold just make out the outline, "Well, at least its not Blue."

"any wolf is the same." kjell lowered her head and looked up.

Nuli moved her eyes right on the wolf.

Mac looked down at the dogs but ignored them, she looked at the other wolf that was howling, "What business do you have here?" she growled.

[Mac isn't the only wolf, there is also the other one that howled]

[[i know, thats who I mean, te howling wolf.]]

[Ah ok Mac is there to]

Kjell saw another wolf and walked up. "this is dog territory, get out if you value your life." she growled. looking back at hermes and kenny, who flanked her.

Nuli followed and stood beside Kjell. She growled deeply and her ears were slightly back.

"I was sent by Blue to protect you. If you want me to let that wolf rip you up. GO AHEAD!" Mac growled and turned and headed off

"why whould blue care about us? she left us!" kjell barked.

[Hi! Anything happen while I was away?]

Nuli snapped at Mac, "Yea!! Why would she?"

Navaho sat and watched them talk, and walked back to his spot...* want to actually gget some sleep tonight* he thought and dozed lightly

Mac jumped back to avoid the blow and sighed. "Because just maybe she cared about you? I don't get why she cared about a selfish jerky brat like you though!" Mac growled, turned, and walked away angrily. She disappeared into the forest.

Navaho got up after a little while, and walked inside, to sleep in the straw

Nuli growled, aboutto leap, she held herself back and sat there.

Mac chuckled slightly at the howl and made her way back to the other, who had made it back to the main pack place.
Blue ran up and greeted her, "So? What how were they?"
Mac snorted and said, "I met one I don't know their name but they were the brattiest little thing I've ever met!"
Blue sighed, "You must have either met, Kjell or Nuli.."

* MORNING*


Navaho woke early and tierd...he got up and walked outside to see it was still a bit dark. He went off to go hunting and caught a brown hare, taking it back to his spot outside and munched on it watching the sun rise..

Cascade sighed and stayed on her back, creating a hourglass-like shape in the snow.

Blue had fallen asleep in her old place when she was a pup, she emerged from it and looked at the water fall that lay next to the side of the cliff in which the den was. She sighed and said, "This would have been the big day...the biggest race...and I am hundreds of miles away."
Maple came up from behind and said, "Calm down, I'm sure they'll be fine without-" He paused.
Blue didn't answer, "I could at least watch them right?"
"From the shadows that is." Maple said quickly.
"Then once the race starts I will watch from the depths of the forest!" Blue said happier
"I'll come with.."
"Fine, we best get a move on then."
Maple nodded and told his sister, Sara, to tell the pack where they were going.

Navaho finished his hare and trotted back inside to see if any of them awoke, then sat down by maziy's bed and sighed lazily

Nuli woke up early, "YAAAAY!" She howled as she remembered the race, "Wake up wake up!!!"

Kjell bounded out of the barn, "lets go you guys! cmon! get in the truck!" she barked. their musher had been looking for blue all morning, she figured shed come back at the restart.

((k, in the iditarod, theres the cerimonial start, where the dogs run through ancorage, but the trail doesnt go all the way through. so theres a restart on the outskirts of town. ))

[m'kay]

Blue and Maple ran for a while and drank out of the river. "I sure hope we don't miss it!" She said while panting

Nuli hopped into the back of the car, crawling into her crate. "Im sooo excited!!"
