Echo fell into the river below. He saw Nikori growling at him as the current took him south. He swam to the nearest shore and breathed, shaking his wet fur. He heard whimpering from a nearby bush, but thought it was acting so he growled at it. "Show yourself." he growled. A tiny pup appeared, scared. "P-please don't eat me." Echo perked his ears up, seeing if there were any danger around. "Why would I do that?" he asked with a slight chuckle. The tiny pup didn't answer. She looked at the bl00d dripping from Echo's side. "Your hurt!" she yelped. Echo looked at his side, and she was right. "It's alright. I can bandage it up then head to Fourtame for some proper treatment." he said. He grabbed moss from a nearby tree and put it on his side and made sure it stayed. "Why don't you come to Fourtame with me? You seem lost, and I bet some wolves there would know your parents." Echo asked. The tiny pup squealed in excitement. "Yes, yes! Oh, and my names Alaska!" Echo studied her, then made his way to Fourtame with Alaska, hoping that they could help both of them. ___________________________________________ Echo studied the hanging vines from the entrance of Fourtame. The same as always. Each at least two feet away from each other. Echo could see Kuruk, a soldier of Fourtame. "Kuruk!" he called. As thought, Kuruk heard Echo's yell. Echo studied the belt around his stomach and back, which was probably full of stuff to fight with. Thor was with him. "Wasn't this the same kid we threw out last time for causing trouble? he growled. Kuruk barked at him. "He wouldn't come here unless it was for something important. Also, good to see you again Echo." Aki, Sabre's daughter and Kuruk's mate, approached them. "Let me see your side Echo." Without hesitation, Echo showed her the wound that was still bleeding. Alaska's blue eyes gazed at Echo. "Are you going to be alright?" she asked. Echo nodded, even though he was very unsure about everything.
