An adult wolf hopped out of the entrance and he said, "Xeno! How dare y-" Blaze ran up to the wolf and knocked him down. He put a paw on the wolf's flank while digging his claws into him, making the wolf whimper. Blaze said, "Don't you dare talk to this kid again." Kole stood up and said, "Blaze! Let him go!" The wolf growled and said, "You're strong. For a fox. Xeno is still a lot better than you are. He'll be my hope for-" Blaze put a paw on the wolf's mouth and shouted, "Silence you idiot!"
Kole picked up Blaze and put him down next to Milo. The wolf immediately stood up and pounced on Blaze. He shouted, "Don't mess with me!" Blaze was about to burn him to a crisp, but Milo knocked the wolf away. Xeno shouted, "Stop! Please!" The wolf shouted, "Quiet you!" Kole shouted, "Shut up! Just let us work!" The wolf growled but then he said, "Why of course, the all mighty Claudius." Kole snorted and the wolf walked back in saying, "C'mon Xeno."
Xeno was about to follow the wolf, but Blaze stopped him and said, "This wolf pup is coming with me." The wolf turned around and screamed something. All of a sudden, a ball of water surrounded him, and he was dragged back inside. The culprit was no other than Pandora. She said, "I'm sorry about him. He needs to be taken care of." Kole said, "No, I'm sorry. Blaze is just a little unhinged lately." Blaze just huffed looked away.
Pandora looked at Xeno and said, "Hey. I won't allow you to live with him any longer, no matter what you have to say." Xeno looked down and said, "I understand.." Pandora looked back at Kole and said, "His father is mad. He's done many terrible things to this cub and a few others." Blaze growled, "So I should've burned his fur off!" Kole said, "Calm down Bl-" But Blaze cut him off by shouting, "What's with you!? You've been acting strange for a while now!"
Kole looked away and said, "I'm fine." Pandora sat next to Kole and asked, "What's on your mind?" Kole was silent for a while until he said, "I know what we have to go now. We have to climb Claudius Mountain." Blaze shouted, "Are you insane!? That's where The Birds Of Paradise and the evil banished there live! And none of us can actually fly like Milo can!" Milo said, "My power needs to recharge since I haven't used it in a while."
Kole said, "We're not going there yet. We need to get Blacksmith." Ice asked, "Why do we need to get Blacksmith? He's useless to us." Kole gave a cold look at Ice and said, "He's grown in power. I can tell." Milo said, "Let's go then." "Wait, what's that?" Xeno asked. Everyone looked to the sky and saw a huge black cloud cover the sky. All of a sudden, fires started to burn out of nowhere. Even on the ground with no grass started to burn.
Milo shouted, "We need to get to Conner! He must be the cause of this!" Kole shouted, "Let's go! We need to get back to where we were teleported!" Kole and his team left Pandora, Xeno, and the Water Wolf tribe to go back where they started. After a while, they made it and saw Blacksmith on the ground surrounded by flames. Blaze shouted, "Blacksmith! Wake up!" Kole ran into the flames and dragged Blacksmith out of the fire.
"Wake up!" Ice shouted. Kole shouted, "Blacksmith! It's time to get up!" In an instant, Blacksmith opened his eyes and stood up. He looked around and said, "Wait, what's happening!?" Kole said, "There's no time! We have to climb Claudius Mountain to stop Conner!" Blaze asked Kole, "Are you sure that's where he is?" Kole looked off into the direction where Mt. Claudius was, and he said, "I'm positive."
