Tyonek gallops at an easy pace behind Kirchy, giving the cubs an easy ride. The sounds of snapping tendons, pounding hooves, and the cairbou's breath filled the silent air. "Tell me cubs, what are your stories?" Tyonek asks after several minutes.
-------
EbonyPatriot springs to his feet, his long black coat hot from the sun. "Let's go to Nikiski's!" he barks happily.

Ken'ichi nods and they start their journey back to Ken'ichi's home, where his big brother is waiting for him. Walking under the sun alongside a new friend, it feels so good when Ken'ichi finally sets foot into the forest where he has settled into his life. It took them just a few hours to reach the forest, but no worries, as if they are very close.
"We're almost there EP, just a few more minutes." He expresses as they get ever so closer to the den.

EbonyPatriot barks happily; then focuses his eyes. "Is Nikiski- that young bear in the distance?" asks the Troodon, pointing with his muzzle.

Ken'ichi looked at the bear EbonyPatriot pointed to with his muzzle. It seems pretty far, but still Ken'ichi could recognize the bear...It is Nikiski!
"Yeah, it's him!" Ken'ichi cries out with joy. "C'mon!"
With that, Ken'ichi starts running toward his big brother. "Hey, Niki!!"

The bear left the scene where he and the wolverines met.
Again, normal routine of a bear. Eat and sleep.
But something breaks the routine.
"Hey, Niki!!!" Nikiski hears somebody calling him. He turns his head and sees his little brother, Ken'ichi, running towards him.
"Ken'ichi!" The bear is overjoyed to see his brother again, and he lets himself fall on his back on the impact with his brother.
"I miss you, Ken'ichi... Where have you been?"

Ken'ichi nuzzled his big brother's chest as he stands on top of him, hearing his big brother's question about his whereabouts.
"Well, I traveled quite a bit to the south from here. Roaming around the mountains, meadows..." Ken'ichi paused as his Troodon's friend came to mind. "Oh! And I made a new friend!"
Ken'ichi got off of Niki and gestures his head toward EbonyPatriot. "He's over there. C'mon, I'll introduce you to him."

ken'ichi describes his journey, then tells Nikiski that he made a new friend.
"Ah-ah. Before doing that, you need to treat your wound." Nikiski uses his crystal to heal Ken'ichi's wound on his left arm.
"How did you get that?" The bear asks in curiousity.
After healing the wound, Nikiski follows his brother to meet...

"Thanks." Ken'ichi said after his big brother healed his untreated wound on his left arm, which is now nothing more but a scar.
After the healing, Niki asked him how he got the wound. "Well, it was a few days ago, I found a human village with a bear held captive, I got wounded by a spear after I saved the bear." He explained as they pad toward EbonyPatriot.

"Tell me cubs, what are your stories?" Tyonek asks after several minutes.
"A fire killed our parents, and then we got separated. Then some of my friends helped me find Kera again." I reply. "And we have been together for a while now."
Kera smiles. "Yeah." She says. I smile back.

EbonyPatriot bristles, eyes filled with suspiscion; but he does not snarl as the bears approach. He emrges from the bushes so that Nikiski sees him, but he's careful to keep a safe distance. "Greetings comrade. You must be Nikiski."
-------
"That's sad, Kia and Kera. I'm sorry that you two had to endure that. It must have been terrible." The caribou chuckles to himself. "I wonder what Tuque would say if he saw me, the bold stag who fought a griffin and lived, giving a ride to some cubs."

Nikiski sees a weird figure in the bushes. The figure emerges from the bushes and greets the bear.
The bear notices the figure is keeping a distance from him. As Nikiski sees that the figure brings no harm, he bows his head to show that he is approachable and safe.
"Yes, I am Nikiski. " The bear growls. "And may I have your name?"

EbonyPatriot's fur flattens at the bear's voice- something about it calms him, even though the words were spoken in a growl. "My name is EbonyPatriot, or EP for short, Nikiski. I'm a Troodon, a type of dinosaur. I heard of you and Ken'ichi from Sitka. I'm here to stop the Wolverine named Tazer," explains the beast.

Ken'ichi leads Nikiski to EbonyPatriot, who comes out of the bush and greets his big brother. As the two of them exchanges greetings and introductions, Ken'ichi smiles and sits down and waits for them both to finish.
"Hm?" The black cub is startled by some sort of sound behind him. He turns his head, nothing but a bush...Maybe beyond it...

"Tazer?" The bear asks. "I just met him this morning! He was trying to attack me!"
When the conversation is interrupted by a sound behind the bushes.

"Let me guess," smiles EbonyPatriot. "His attack was spoiled by two stupid Wolverines, a male and a female."
The Troodon (folowing the bears' gaze)cocks his towards the bushes. His sharp caught the movement of pale brown-and-yellow hair in the bushes. Snarling, the dinosaur springs, snarling. The bushes shake and EbonyPatriot returns, a screaming Wolverine in his muzzle. "Balatro," growls EbonyPatriot. "Was this one of the Wolverines?"
"EbonyPatriot, the dinosaur," sneers Balatro, trying to sound fierce. "Why are you doing here, spoiling Tazer's plan?"
