---- "Fo..Jlow...


    the brightest star...


    it''ll take you...


    to the High Pack...


    of the South...


    look...


    for Memento..."" With great effort, she managed to pass on her masters final thoughts.


    She should ve left for that more advanced pack with Nana a long time ago.


    Right then, the girls scream echoed, and Lyra stepped aside to give her time to say goodbye.


    She and Drakkar left the cave, and Lyra asked him to dig a hole so Gertrudis wouldnt be left out in the open.


    seek An hourter, the three of them stood over the grave.


    Nana was crying silently, but she looked much tougher and more mature.


    Thanks for getting me out of that hell, she said suddenly.


    They just nodded.


    as long as you hold no grudge against us in your heart, we''re at peace, Lyra stared at her, searching for any hidden plot in Nana.


    She might still me them for her mothers death; worse things had happened.


    ---- But Nana seemed to have learned the lesson.


    With onest look, they were on their way back when a loud crash in the distance made them go on alert.


    Ttsing from the cave direction, looks like theyre being attacked, said Drakkar.


    Let''s go! they started running down the mountain.


    seek Protect the females! Lorenzo roared, lunging at the rabid wolves who had managed to get past the pit and the log battering rams.


    They were way more than them, but the new weapons gave them courage They stood in front of the big cave, wielding Gaias spears and knives.


    stabbing the enemies who bled out from the deep wounds.


    The Alpha watched, cloaked in shadows. Amazed by the power of that ck material.


    The dagger in his hand didnt seem so great anymore.


    Look at all those weapons they had! ---- His war wolves were falling like flies, retreating, scared now that the bodies were piling up.


    Lorenzo and the warriors roared with energy and inted egos; they felt invincible.


    Dont leave a single one alive! No one could be allowed to escape; the secret couldnt spread.


    The Alpha hid deeper in the brush, two warriors at his side.


    They would retreat for now, but theyd be back better prepared.


    Theyd conquer this treasure! But a roar beside him pulled him out of his dream.
