So my loved ones again after a long time.
I'm really sorry that I kept waiting for such a long time ahb but at the moment I'm literally suffocating in school. Well, now I should shut up and just let you read the new chapter.

The next morning we set out too. However, we were in no hurry because it wasn't far to the entrance to the Paradiese. I turned around some distance away and looked again at our little hill that had become our home. Maybe the last time I thought wistfully. While we adults walked at a leisurely trot that didn't particularly challenge us or Cheza, the little ones were behind us once in front of us and walked the path about three times. Fye worried me, who was walking along, but was lagging behind and had to sneeze again and again. As I suspected, or rather feared, he had caught a cold yesterday. Hopefully it was just a cold.After twenty minutes we met the pack of Keiko's mother. She too had a litter of two girls, Sakura and Shaolan's age. For everyone who is surprised that the puppies in Keiko's pack are only in front of their mother is a short explanation. Actually only the highest-ranking wolves in the pack have the right to reproduce. Actually, all wolves in the pack are related to one another. Since our pack is thrown together anyway, we are not so strict about things like that, even if Kiba is the undisputed head of the pack.

Mayumi, that's Keiko's mother's name, I had known for five years. She was a little older than me, but we still got on really well. She and her pack also spoke the language we had developed and so we could talk while walking. Denis and Keiko's sister, Meilin, also walked leisurely next to each other, chatting. Even so, I also had my puppies in my eyes especially Fye. That wouldn't have been necessary because he was already so exhausted that he stayed next to me.Mayumi's puppies, who went by the names Mizuki and Lihn, got on well with Shaolan and Sakura, as they were almost the same age. Grinning, I saw that Arashi didn't approve of the two strangers getting along so well with Shaolan and Sakura. Again and again she intervened when the two girls asked Shaolan and Sakura to play. That looked awesome though. Arashi was a good deal shorter than Sakura and she was still the smallest of the four older ones.

Twenty minutes and one riot from Arashi and Lihn later we finally arrived at the entrance to our paradise. Hige had been quick and so Arashi was now lying next to him with an injured pride but luckily with no other injuries, sulking. Lihn had also been fetched by her father, but he had caught her a bit rudely because she had screamed out loud, whereupon the little one immediately landed on the ground again. But now she knew where her limits were because she didn't even look at Arashi and she did the sameExcept for our pack, Sheeta's and Mayumi's pack, nobody was there yet and so we waited. After an hour the first wolves came and an hour later they were all there. To my horror, or rather to my annoyance, I also discovered Akukei and the gray wolf from back then. In the meantime we had also found out that her name was Hazumomo. And actually she was already so old that we were all just waiting for her to die and rot. That would have been good for everyone. However, we didn't seem so lucky.

When everyone was finally there and everyone had calmed down and found a place, the same wolves stepped forward that had represented their pack five years ago. Grinning, I watched Hige, who tried to keep Arashi close and at the same time to catch everything. Apparently he was very interested in what was going on. I was also curious about what would come of the debate, but went for a long one.Long and above all boring debate in which half of those who had now stepped into the middle would play about nothing and again nothing. As inconspicuously as possible, I let my gaze wander around. The last time it was clearly less going on. Everyone had more or less listened to the debate, or rather the negotiations. Now it was bustling all over the place and ending with puppies of all ages. However, Fye, Arashi, Kuro-chan and Aiasu were clearly the youngest with their ten days. Arashi just didn't want to rest and so I took it from Hige, but instead I pressed Kuro-chan and Aiasu on his eye. Both were tired from all the running and dozed off. I kept Fye and Arashi, although Fye was already asleep. I hoped that it would stay with a cold and that he would not get seriously ill. Arashi was restless, but stayed close to me after some back and forth, which was also due to Shaolan.Like me, Cheza had a good eye for such educational measures and so she had placed herself next to me as a precaution and was now listening attentively to the meeting that Kiba opened.

He looked calmly around and waited for it to be quiet. Or at least as calmly as it could be with a bunch of young wolves. Then he said: "Hello. I don't want to bother with useless greetings. Because I don't think we have the time or reason to do so. As you all know we're not for fun but for a serious reason." Nod in agreement and again mumble. Kiba waited again until it was quiet and then said: "At first it wouldn't be bad to know since when the bull was up to mischief. So how about if we all think about it and then everyone says when about when the bull will start The pack was. "After twenty minutes in which, as suspected and expected, some got into each other's hair, it was clear that this bull that had come out of nowhere had been around for half a year.At the moment we were thinking about what we could do with our combined forces. One thing was clear, we wouldn't just go like that. Too many sacrifices had been made. A thought had been spitting in my head for a while, but I didn't want to admit it or say it. But I didn't have to. The Setsuna, who was also in the chair, said more for himself than really for everyone else: "It'll all lead to a fight." All of the attention was immediately with him. When he noticed this he repeated, slightly embarrassed: "I'm afraid that it will result in a fight between him and us. Because actually none of us want to just be expelled, do we?" Kiba listened attentively and then said: "I believe that Setsuna is right. We vote. Who is in favor of defending our homeland? With everything we have? "Wailing unanimously was the answer. The mood, which had just been so tense, was gone. There was a hint of rebellion in the air. Everyone pulled together and this feeling of belonging helped to forget the hopelessness of our project.We spent the rest of the day hunting. And I was finally allowed to go again. The only thing that worried me was the fact that I left Cheza with six puppies. Well, she got along with me too. I also warned the four of them to behave, especially on Arashi I had dressed up. However, I forgot everything when the six of us roamed through the forest. We did not meet a piece of game. And so we parted after twenty minutes and swarmed out alone. I was traveling as quietly as possible myself and my hearing told me that there were some other wolves traveling. The older ones could hardly be heard but Sheeta also seemed to be on the road with her pack, because you could hear the young pack breaking loudly through the undergrowth. But I wasn't surprised, because they were still inexperienced, but Sheeta was a good hunter and would give them a beating, with Pazuo certainly standing by her side.So I walked through the area for a while until I heard the wailing of Toboes, who had finally found prey. Immediately I turned around and ran back. Soon I also met Tsume, Kiba and finally Hige, who, together with Toboe, was watching a herd of fallow deer in search of the weakest animal. We soon found that in the form of a powerful but already old goat that would certainly be enough for all of us. After all, we now had to hunt for six more heads and stomachs. But killing the buck was easier said than done. The animals had scented the wolves nearby and so they were careful. And after twenty minutes of chasing we still didn't feel like it. Now we were all slowly losing our nerve and losing our breath so we started one last attempt and just kind of ran into the herd. I tried to separate him from the herd together with Tsume while Hige Toboe and Kiba tried to get him off his feet because then he would be delivered.And finally after another quarter of an hour we finally managed to kill him. With a howl that could be heard from far away, the little ones called who were soon there and so the deer was pretty quickly just a pile of bones that the vultures fought over.

We spent the next two days training. To my amazement, I was neither rusty nor falling behind the others. Well, I had become a bit more sedate, but that would change again. At least Hige, with whom I had been training for over an hour, had not yet managed to bring me to my knees. However, we were both panting across from each other. Hige took a breath and said: "Shall we stop?" I just grinned cheekily, made a quick movement and subjugated Hige. Snout to snout, I said, grinning: "Now we're going to stop." Grinning, I sat down next to Fye and saw Hige lay there for a moment, puzzled, and then joined me with a smile.Together we watched the others who were also practicing a little. Pazuo had long since given up competing with his sister and so he trained with Aku and Yuuki, who even the two of them could not beat him. Kiba and Tsume were involved in something that looked more like a real argument than training. Sheeta also trained hard with Kai to everyone's amazement. And it wasn't doing badly at all. Sheeta, who was usually used to being the attacker, was driven quite a bit into the defense. The otherwise shy gray wolf seemed to blossom completely in battle. I watched the two of them for a while and noticed that Kai was apparently still holding back.

"Funny," I said quietly. "What?" said Hige, who watched with a grin as Aku and Yuuki were pretty
