Kia replies,"I desided to give you guys another chance. I am sorry! But why was Kirchy bugging me before?" She glares at me.
"I was trying to get you to come back!" I defend myself.
Ken'ichi pads over to the bushes and turns to all of the bears. "Everyone, I have an old friend I would like to introduce to you all," Ken'ichi looks up at us with a curious look and continues. "He's a black grizzly, his name is Urctos. He's shy, but he's a good friend."
Ken'cihi looks in the bushes, "They won't hurt you Urctos, just act like yourself..." He takes a few steps back.
Urctos must be scared to death. I watch curiously at the bushes and wait for him to come out. If he comes out. But I'm sure he will. I smile.

I make no sound for some moments, taking in all the details around me. This was something I would want to remember, and the more vividly, the better. I bat Sila playfully with my head, feeling like a thrill of energy the new connection between the four of us, soaking into the cold place in my spirit that I had not even realized was there before. (I hoped Sila would take the gesture for what it was meant to be.) Then Nertuark stiffens, raising his nose, and says something to Kadzait in hushed tones. Though I cannot hear what he says, I know what the pup is telling him. I’m suddenly awake to the signs in the air. A stranger is near. I pace forward, then raise my voice in a howl, this one tinged with question, reaching, a call to the unknown wolf in the darkness.

Hearing a loud crack from the trees above us, it is followed by yells.
"RAAAH!" I hear young voices yelling in the air, and suddenly one is right in my ear. I turn around to see a male cub on my back, different than the others. But before I could figure out anything else, I toppled over from confusion and horror from the shock.
" YAA!!!" I yell, as I fell back ward on my back. I saw a little cub with black top fur and orangish- light brown fur, rolling off my stomache.. He laughing so hard you could hear him snort.
"WHAT IN THE...!?" I questioned, getting up.
"Ha ha! Scared ya!!!" The cub rolled around on the ground laughing and laughing, rolling around.
"Heheheh. Hi! Name's Kovu! Whatc-yours?"
"Uh..Spectrue...What did you do that for?" I asked him.
"Hahaha, it was all Kirchy's great plan! She's funny! Hahahaha!" The cub pads back over to that Kia girl that I saw earlier yesterday... But she seemed happier now. I walked over and said hi. She looked at me and got a little nervous. She knew who I was from before... She got a strict look on her face that told me to stay away. So I did, I didn't want to cause anymore trouble than there needs to be. She watched as Kovu padded by me, and sat next to Kia. Heh... Then Ken'ichi starts to say something... He pads over to a particular bush...
"Everyone, I have an old friend I would like to introduce to you all." I watch him silently and curiously. Another cub? I hope not, gosh...
"He's a black grizzly, his name is Urctos. He's shy, but he's a good friend."
He turns around to the bush and says something to the bear that supposevely is hidden in the bush...

Nikiski and Spectrue notice me by the cave and greet me in return.
"Hey Truttle! Great to see you!" Spectrue says.
"Great to see you too! And you too Niki! Where's Ken'ichi?" I asked.
They told me he that they didn't know where they were. That they might be back in an hour. I notice Spectrue turn to notice Sioul standing patiently behind me.
"Hey who's that behind ya, Truttle? A friend of yours?" Spectrue asks.
Sioul walks forward and introduces himself.
"Jeeze! Why does everyone always keep this from me? You have a brother and never tell anyone! Pity...I never met my brother..." Spectrue says sounding frustrated.
I look at him confursed. "You had a brother?"
He explained. "Well...it was only in dreams that I saw his face, but yea, I know for sure I had a brother at one time or another..."
I wondered what could have happened to his brother, but then I heard shouts from above as suddenly something lands on my back.
"Gah!!!" I scream as I flinched from the surprise. I saw Koda and several other cubs laughing at the prank they pulled.
One cub had pinned Ken'ichi to the floor. He had a similar likeness to Ken'ichi. I looked at the cub, studying him intensly. I was confused at how familiar this cub was.Yet I never met him before. He looked somewhat like Ken'ichi, but he was still different. I thought hard about the dream I had before.
"Wasn't it just a dream? This cub looks so much like that bear from my dream. Wasn't his name Kamali? Could this cub be Ken'ichi's brother?"
My attention was drawn back as Ken'ichi announced that he wanted to introduce a new friend. I look as he walks over to a bush and I wait to see who was going to appear.

Great... now every bear here was staring at him...
"Everyone, I have an old friend I would like to introduce to you all." Ken'ichi announced, looking at everyone. "He's a black grizzly, his name is Urctos. He's shy, but he's a good friend."
He glanced back at the frightened bear. Urctos stared at the ground, looking as if he were ashamed.
Another warm smile filled the cub's face, "They won't hurt you Urctos, just act like yourself..." he stepped away from the bush, giving the grizzly room to step out without trouble.
Inching out into the open with his ears once again flattened against his head, Urctos' eyes continued to look to the earth... he was indeed scared, a bit timid as well. He remained silent, his mouth a thin line as his gaze lifted to the curious faces. The bear began to paw at a rock bashfully... he didn't like doing something like this...

"Everyone, I have an old friend I would like to introduce to you all." Ken'ichi announces. "He's a black grizzly, his name is Urctos. He's shy, but he's a good friend."
I look in the direction of the bear behind the bushes. He looks like he is a little shy...
Finally Urctos is out of the bushes. I smile and give Urctos a welcome.
"Hi Urctos, nice to meet you. I'm Nikiski."
The rest of us give our own names.

I watched as a black grizzly bear came out of the bushes. Ken’ichi had introduced him as Urctos. He appeared a bit flustered. It must have been because everyone was looking at him. I couldn’t help but remember the times that I tried to introduce myself.
I remembered the first time I first met Koda, Kenai, Spectrue, and Nikiski. I had rambled on and on about myself, before I even asked their names. I bet they thought I was weird.
Then there was the first time I met Sila. That’s one day I would never be able to live down. I was so embarrassed that day, I regret it ever happened. So I understood what Urctos must be feeling right now.
Nikiski had started off by introducing himself. I continued, to help relieve Urctos of some of the tension.
“Hello Urctos! My name is Truttle. Its nice to meet an old friend of Ken’ichi.”<br> I point and nod in the direction of Sioul, sitting next to me. “This is my brother, Sioul.”<br> I bump Sioul on the arm with my elbow. “Hello.” Sioul finally blurts out.

As I was trailing behind Spectrue and Nikiski, we saw Truttle bye Nikiski's cave.
"Hey Truttle! Great to see you!" Spectrue says.
"Great to see you too! And you too Niki! Where's Ken'ichi?" I asked.
They told me him that they didn't know where they were. That they might be back in an hour. It was then that I noticed a smaller bear standing behind Truttle.
"Hey who's that behind ya, Truttle? A friend of yours?" Spectrue asks.
Sioul walks forward and introduces himself.
Jeeze! Why does everyone always keep this from me? You have a brother and never tell anyone! Pity...I never met my brother..." Spectrue says with annoyance.
"You had a brother?", Truttle asked.
"Well...it was only in dreams that I saw his face, but yea, I know for sure I had a brother at one time or another...", Spectrum replied.
Truttle seemed to be pondering this when, suddenly, the cubs were yelling their hearts hearts out trying to scare us. And it worked.
We all yelled at the same time. "Ah!" It was pretty embarrasing. Four older bears scared by five cubs. Then I notice that one of them is Koda and I walked over and noogied him while he was still laughing.
Then I saw Ken'ichi walk over to a bush.
"Everyone, I have an old friend I would like to introduce to you all," Kenichi said. "He's a black grizzly, his name is Urctos. He's shy, but he's a good friend." "They won't hurt you Urctos, just act like yourself..." Thes stepped away from the bush.
Wow! He was huge! He seemed to be bigger than tub, but he was also afraid. "Hi. I'm Kenai. Nice to meet you Urctos." I say.

OOC: Spectrum, you might want to add Kovu to the list in the beginning.
BIC: Urctos slowly comes out of the bushes. He is really scared. The older bears introduce themselves.
Koda walks up to him. "Hi, I'm Koda," he says.
"And I'm Kirchy," I add.
Kia and Kovu also introduce themselves and smile kindly at Urctos.

My senses hone in to what the wolves are saying, the little pup excitable and jumpy, as he hops around the male. One of the females taps her head against the other, and she seems quite happy. It is then that my deepest fear comes into play, as she swivels her ears in my direction, suddenly becoming tense and cautious. Trying to back away was my first mistake. In my haste to escape, I forgot all my wariness, and stumbled into some pebbles. Who know such small rocks could make such a loud noise? I halted immediately, trying not to cause any further damage to my safety. Then, the female howls out, a long, questioning howl, not a hint of tolerance. My fur rose on end at her call, and I prayed that I would blend well enough that she may not see me. If they felt threatened enough, they may attack and, strong as I was, I was no match for three against one. Yet, I thought, even if they couldn’t see me, they could very well sense my presence, and that was enough. I had invaded their space, something no lone wolf should ever do, especially as suspiciously as I had. The female creeps a bit closer, and the others have noticed her behavior as well, approaching the trees I lay hidden in. I was not a coward, and I wasn’t going to run. It was best for me to face the danger coming toward me without a hint of fear showing. As the wolves inch closer, I proudly walk forward into the moonlight, allowing myself to be seen. Saying nothing, I wait for them to make the first move. I was prepared to fight, I just hoped I wouldn’t have to.

Urctos began to nibble at his bottom lip once more as the bears began to come close and introduce themselves to him. He struggled to avoid all eye contact whatsoever, eyes darting all about until he gave up and glued his sights on the forest floor once again. The bear closed them briefly.
"Hi Urctos, nice to meet you. I'm Nikiski." Urctos blinked and stumbled a few paces back in suprise.
“Hello Urctos! My name is Truttle. Its nice to meet an old friend of Ken’ichi.” a young bear pointed to another. “This is my brother, Sioul.” He jabbed his brother with his elbow, managing to get out a "Hello" from him.
"Hi. I'm Kenai. Nice to meet you Urctos." greeted Kenai. Urctos could recognize this one's face from somewhere...
"Hi, I'm Koda," a young brown bear cub grinned. Now the grizzly knew this one. The name "Koda" sparked some memories in his head.
"And I'm Kirchy," another cub added. A pair of other young ones introduced themselves as Kia and Kovu.
Urctos' eyes shifted left to right, gulping. They were all staring at him, either smiling or speaking to him.... He recoiled, his neck hunched into his shoulders as his backlegs made him tumble onto his rump.
"Uhm... uh... "

As I approach the shadows, I cannot help but remember my own entrance, the fear I’d had to master at coming near so many unknown lera on their ground. My feelings are not of fear, but of wonder. Unless this wolf had a full pack behind him, I was in no danger, now the choice was mine. I glance over my shoulder--my friends have noticed my wariness. I motion for them to remain where they are, but as I do so, the wolf steps into the moonlight before me, and my breath catches in my throat. He is dark, with the form and manner of an able hunter. I match his proud stance, searching for any sign of his intentions, then meet his grey eyes levelly, inwardly admiring the poise he shows in facing us. Coming to a decision, I sink into a bow, still watchful, but with an engaging smile.
“Well met, traveler. For my part, you are welcome here. You find yourself before a band of friends who have only recently found security; our pack is new-formed. (It is chancy, admitting this, but gaining trust would be worth the risk. I only hoped that I was not playing the fool.) It would be terrible if we turned on a lone wolf with such memories fresh in our own minds."

As Talist is grinning and Nertuark is dancing around my paws, I suddenly feel a sudden chill rush up my spine. It seems Talist has noticed the strangeness in the air too, and has advanced toward the shadows of the trees. I could sense it now, there was a wolf hiding among the trees. I look on warily, padding up next to Talist, who has howled out in question to the stranger. Suddenly, the wolf reveals himself. He is tall, and dark, and had had haunting grey eyes that stared at us proudly. I figured he was putting on a show. Talist, however, welcomes him. If Talist feels he is alright, then I have no problem with him, yet. I wonder what he could really be like, and what he was doing wandering around without a pack. Suddenly, I smile to myself. It is what I had been doing for a while as well. I didn’t judge him by that.
“Well, my great shadowy friend,” I begin, “pleased to meet you.” I bow my head as well to the stranger, in formal greeting. “I’m Kadzait, could we have the honor of knowing your name?” I ask, looking up to the large wolf.

I notice Urctos is still scared of getting to know the others, I gotta encourage him a little.
I pad closer to Urctos and lower my body so I can see his eyes, "See Urctos? They're OK with you, and I think they like you."
Urctos moves his eyes to meet with mine, I shed a smile, "C'mon, I'll stay close to you so you won't be alone when getting to know the others, OK?"
I hope this makes him feel better...
