•The beginning
•Its early spring the snow is melting and calves bear cubs are learning from their elders flowers are coming up and hunting is becoming easier for the wolves. The tribe is looking for a new chief to take over the land. Himbuin never had a son or daughter zonlineus is looking for a strong leader who will also marry her. Shinda comes back in the tribe and looks at the tribe. Dakota walks up to her and sits down ‘’the tribe looks great shinda.’’ He says looking at her worried face. Shinda looks at Dakota and licks his face ‘’can you go with the wolves and get some food where low.’’ she says getting up waging her tail. ‘’even jax?’’ he asks getting up. ‘’yes he is the best at the field.’’ shinda say walking away Dakota gathers the wolves to hunt. ‘’shinda wants us to hunt jax you have the field.’’ he says to the pack.
•The beginning
•Shinda hears zonlineus crying in a teepee. She walks over and pokes her head in and see her holding Himbuin necklace she walks in the teepee nervously. Zonlineus see shinda ‘’oh shinda.’’ she cries. Shinda lays down and rests her head on zonlineus lap. She strokes her head. Shinda has a flash back of her trying to save Himbuin. She feels guilt in her heart again. Shinda gets up and licks the tears off of zonlineus face. She walks out of the teepee. She shakes her pelts and goes for a walk she thinks about himbuin. She stops and sees an all white eagle on a tree. She walks closer to it not believing her eyes. It calls to her and flies right by her head. She ducks and watches she follows it in to the woods. She stops right a tribe the eagle sits at the edge of the tree calling to me.
•The beginning
•I look at the tribe then the eagle. He calls at me one more time and then I see a big wolf coming up the mountain straight to me I cowers and look at the eagle I lower my head and wait for the wolf to meet up with me. He is bigger then me he shows his teeth. ‘’who are you?’’ he growls at me ‘’I am shinda from the red wolf pack.’’ she says nervously he stops and looks at me for a while. ‘’oh you must be here for the chiefs son.’’ he says almost wagging his tail. ‘’Um sure, yes!’’ she corrects her self. ‘’ok well follow me.’’ he says cocking his head. The eagle flies off and shinda follows the alpha the other wolves watch shinda closely. They walk up to the chief who has 2 sons standing next to him. They look at me closely until they figure out who I am the chiefs older son grabs my necklace. ‘’ah shinda.’’ says the chief.
•The beginning
•He looks at his son ‘’I bet she is here telling us to meet zonlineus.’’ he tells his oldest son. He is a handsome man who looks like he would led a tribe very well. Shinda looks at them confused. ‘’Ok shinda thanks for the notice.’’ the alpha male says looking at me. I walk out of the woods still confused. The eagle is waiting for me in the woods. It calls to shinda and dives at her head and ruffs her fur shinda bark and wags her tail and she follows it to the tribe meadow. As she gets back the eagle pitches it self in a tree. Tracks meets up with her ‘’where did you go?’’ he asks her licking her face. ‘’I will tell you later.’’ she says running back to the tribe. Every one is eating or making quilts or clothes. The hunters skin the elk the wolves caught. Shinda looks for zonlineus she goes in her teepee but she isn't here. She then see her talking to the chief shinda went and saw. Zonlineus calls shinda over. ‘’is this the wolf you saw?’’ she says a little happy. ‘’yes shinda.’’ he says smiling at shinda. Jax watches shinda then the chief ‘’ok shinda you may go.’’ she says smiling shinda walks over to jax. ‘’who is that?’’ he asks shinda.
•The beginning
•‘’The chief of the mountain tribe.’’ she says nudging jax’s back he watches as she walks away. Angel comes in the tribe with a rabbit. She drops it next to shinda ‘’great go to the hunters for skinning.’’ shinda says angel walk over to hunters and drops the rabbit meat. ‘’good work girl.’’ says one of the hunter. Angel runs over to shinda and tackles her to the ground and nibbles her ear. Shinda wags her tail and nips angels face. Tracks and Dakota watch soon Jax comes over and watches them play. They wag their tails and sit down shinda hears the eagle in the distance. She wiggles out of angels reach and she gets up and listens. Her ears twitch and she follows the sound they look at her confused. She catches a glimpse of the eagles white feathers she runs in the woods and see it in a tree. ‘’shinda?’’ tracks asks following her. She stop and looks at him and then the eagle. ‘’what are you doing?’’ he says looking in the tree.
•The beginning
•‘’the eagle I was following it.’’ she says looking at the white beautiful bird. ‘’what?!’’ he cocks his head and gives her a concerned look. ‘’The white eagle in the tree.’’ she says jumping at the tree. ‘’shinda there is no white eagle.’’ he says looking at the tree. ‘’what?’’ she looks at the tree again nothing is there. ‘’but – but I say it.’’ she stutters nervously looking crazy. ‘’Are you feeling ok shinda.’’ he sits down watching her ‘’I am fine I saw it!’’ she growls a little tracks looks at her weirdly. She shows her teeth and runs past him. The others watch confused as shinda runs up the mountain in a dark forest. The eagle sits in the tree. ‘’why did you make me look crazy!’’ she growls at the bird. It sits there and calls to her and looks around. ‘’ugh!’’ she growls and walks to the salmon run. She sees a fox dipping his head in the water trying to get a fish. Shinda walks in the river and grabs a salmon right away.
•The beginning
•The fox watches in envy ‘’how on earth do you catch so good.’’ he says in a shocked voice. Shinda picks her head out of the water and shakes her head. ‘’easy.’’ she says weakly the fox walks slowly next to shinda. ‘’can you teach me?’’ he says pinning his heads down lowering his head. The eagle watches me closely. ‘’sure I guess.’’ she says looking in the water. ‘’first you need to be in the middle of the river.’’ The fox stands in the middle next to her. He sees the red salmon move between his paws. ‘’then slowly dip your head in the water.’’ the fox gets ready ‘’then open your mouth wide and as soon as you feel the water get fast get ready to bite down.’’ she says moving out of the way. The fox dips his head in the water and grabs one by its fin and it slips he jumps through the water and grabs it again. His teeth kill it quickly and he throws it on the shore.
•The beginning
•She could tell he was a young fox just learning to hunt. His fur was still fluffy he was just blowing his coat for his adult fur. Shinda looks at the young fox eat his salmon. He bites some off for her and brings it to her as she lays on the warm rocks. ‘’thanks but its your.’’ shinda says pushing it with her nose. ‘’you helped me you get some to please eat it.’’ he says licking his jaws filled with red blood. Shinda smiles at the young fox and she eats the salmon he gave her. ‘’what’s your name?’’ shinda asks licking her lips. ‘’paws yours?’’ he asks laying across from shinda. ‘’I am shinda.’’ she says laying her head in between her paws. He smiles ‘’what a nice name.’’ he says licking his paws. ‘’you to its lovely.’’ shinda says feeling the warm sun on her fur. ‘’thanks its kind of embarrassing.’’ he laughs shinda looks up at him.
•The beginning
•‘’no I think it fits you.’’ shinda says getting up yawning. ‘’thanks shinda.’’ he smiles and gets up. ‘’I must go but I hope I see you again.’’ he says scratching behind his ear. ‘’you maybe I will see you around here again.’’ shinda says looking at the river. ‘’thanks again for teaching me.’’ he says nuzzling her leg and he walks across the river. Shinda smiles and walks back to the tribe. The eagle flies through the woods back to the tribe. Shinda walks back in the tribe and its nearly dark. She goes in the wolves teepee and sleeps. Soon she wakes up to tracks snuggling up against her licking her ear. She falls asleep again the morning she wakes up to the smell or cooking elk. She tries not to wake tracks up. She slowly gets up and walks out of the teepee. She sees jax and angel nuzzling in the meadow. She looks at them shocked.
•The beginning
•Shinda sits down watching then Dakota walks behind her and sits down. ‘’yeah I think he is going to ask angel to be his mate.’’ he says tiredly shinda looks at him surprised at what he just said. ‘’really!’’ she says looking at them disappear in the woods. Dakota looks at shinda surprised ‘’didn’t you know they had a thing for each other.’’ he asks looking out to the meadow. ‘’no not at all.’’ shinda says laying down. ‘’when did they start liking each other?’’ she asks still surprised. Tracks walks over to them ‘’shinda they liked each other like a month after he came.’’ tracks says laying next to shinda. ‘’oh I guess I never noticed.’’ she says sighing. Shinda sees jax's walking alone as angel walks in the teepee shinda catches up with jax. ‘’hey jax.’’ jax slows down and looks at shinda. ‘’yeah?’’ he asks as shinda slows him down.
•The beginning
•‘’do you want to go for a run.’’ shinda asks waging her tail. He wags is curled tail ‘’sure!’’ he barks shinda sees the eagle fly right in the tree next to them. She smiles and follows the eagle in to a big field jax runs full speed with shinda. There mouths are open and the eagle is leading shinda to a pretty mountain with a water fall falling from it. Jax stops and looks at the pretty site. Shinda smiles at the eagle who is gone after a second. They walk to the water and dip their heads in the water fall which is very warm. Jax smiles at shinda for a while shinda looks at him confused. He dips his head in the water and splashes her face. They bark and play in the warm field barking yelping and running. They both lay in the shade panting. ‘’so you and angel huh.’’ shinda says waging her tail.
•The beginning
•He gets a little embarrassed ‘’um what do you mean.’’ he says hiding his face behind his paws. ‘’are you guys mates.’’ she asks still panting. ‘’not yet.’’ he says not looking at shinda in the eyes. ‘’jax?’’ shinda asks he looks at shinda green eyes. ‘’I don’t think she wants to be my mate.’’ he says nervously. Shinda gets up and walks around jax twice getting a good look. ‘‘yeah that’s not it.’’ she laughs and lays down. ‘’thanks shinda but I am nervous to ask.’’ he says licking her ear once. ‘’don’t worry about it she will say yes.’’ shinda says and they both walk back. Shinda looks at the eagle. ‘’what are you looking at?’’ jax asks looking at the sky walking back. ‘’the oh never mind.’’ she stops her self annoyed. ‘’Shinda.’’ jax says stopping her from walking. ‘’You wont believe me.’’ she says lowing her head. ‘’try me.’’ he barks
•The beginning
•Shinda stops and looks at the eagle who flies down on a tree next to her. ‘’I think this eagle spirit is watching me.’’ she says closing her eyes pinning her ears down. ‘’where?’’ he says cocking his head ‘’there on the branch.’’ she barks the eagle calls to her. ‘’what does it look like.’’ he says interested with amusement. ‘’its all white with blue eyes.’’ she says embarrassed. ‘’well I believe you can see it because your not crazy.’’ he says laughing she sits down ‘’maybe it’s a spirit.’’ he says looking around. She looks at him surprised ‘’maybe its himbuin!’’ she says looking back but the eagle is gone. ‘’he is gone.’’ she says jax wags his tail and nudges shinda’s face. They walk back jax walks in the teepee with angel. Dakota meets up with shinda. ‘’how did it go?’’ he asks they both sit next to each other.
•The beginning
•‘’great!’’ she says nudging Dakota's face and she walks in the teepee and sees tracks sleeping she curls up next to him licking his face he smiles and falls asleep. She cuddles him close to her they both fall asleep. The next day shinda walks to zonlineus and she is picking flowers with the younger kids. ‘’hey girl going hunting?’’ zonlineus ask smiling with a flower in her long pretty hair. Shinda wags her tail and walks in the woods. She sees a rabbit she gets low and pounces it runs and before it can go in the hole It dug Dakota grabs it ‘’nice.’’ shinda says grabbing the rabbit. ‘’how can you hunt if you cant smell?’’ he asks teasing her. ‘’I know where they are at the times.’’ she says proudly with the rabbit in her mouth. She runs up the hill and drops the rabbit in the hunters hands and runs back down past Dakota.

Dakota watches amazed how fast she grabbed one she throws it on the rocks and Dakota watches it for her. ‘’your turn Dakota.’’ she says walking out of the water bushing against his fur. He smiles and tries to show off he goes in the river and looks in the river he grabs one and shows it to shinda. It slaps him in the face and jumps back in the river. Shinda rolls on her back and starts laughing. Dakota growls but smiles a little ‘’let me show you how its done.’’ she smirk and jumps in the river and grabs two at the same time.

Shinda goes in the teepee she can see the fire from the teepee which warms her heart helping her fall asleep to the sound of story tellers and children laughing. Shinda wakes up and walks out of the teepee and sees a little girl trying to play with the big kids but they keep yelling at her and pushing her. Shinda knows she can not growl or show her teeth at them to guard the girl.
•The beginning
•She will get in trouble a lot so she walks over to the little girl and tries to play with her puppy bowing and baking licking her face. The little girl laughs and chases shinda. She is too small to run fast so shinda is slow. ‘’come here puppy!’’ the little girl shouts and grabs shinda’s ears and face. Shinda tries to put up with it even know it bothers her. ‘’ok sunny that’s enough.’’ says a older girl she had pretty brown eyes and long black hair that was in a nice braid and a eagle feather in her hair. Sunny the little girl walks back to her mother. ‘’hi girl.’’ she says petting shinda's nice soft fur coat. She looks in to shinda's eyes and something weird happens. Tracks walks up to shinda and touches her with his nose. ‘’is it time for our walk?’’ he asks waging his tail. The girl gets a shocked look on her face. ‘’yeah I have a great place to.’’ shinda say leading tracks in the woods.
