Outside, Adderpup played with a leaf. Silversea leaped onto high stone and barked for the pack's attention. Adderpup perked her ears and looked up. "I know we are used to our alpha, Moonwing, announcing the news, but our alpha is in shock. And it is with a heavy heart to say that our beloved Thunderstep has gone missing. And the worst of it is, our barrier is cracked. Night patrol, you must now be on more high alert than you have been before, if we are to protect this pack." She flicked her tail, signaling that the meeting was dismissed, and she leaped down from high stone. Adderpup felt fear prickle her fuzzy black pelt."Its okay, Adder...I'll be alright, and protect you. Don't worry" Blurfoot yipped, trying to calm the pup. Adderpup began to calm down, knowing that her friend would be okay. Silversea sat down on her bed in the hunter's cave. She had already missed Thunder and was holding back her tears. Silversea had been a human once. She along with her friends were turned into wolves. And it was very kind that Moonwing invited into the pack, and while the pack had treated them as an omega, Thunder welcomed them with a great heart. Strongsoul came back a few hours later and could barely make it to the night guard cave, she just fell on her face on the
way there infront of the hunters den. something was wrong. Adderpup walked to the hunter's cave and peeked in. She padded over to Silversea. "Are you ok?" She asked. Silversea dried her eyes. "Yes, I'm fine." She replied, looking at Thunder's bed every now and then. "He was the first of all of you that I met, when I first came here. He was so kind to me." Rosepup padded up next to her sister. She sighed. "I hope we find him." Silversea nodded. "May the ancestors be with him," murmured Strongsoul. Adderpup nodded, as well. Strongsoul forced herself up. "There's been no sign of thunder," she whimpered, "and the barrier is almost split!" Strongsoul cried. This was the worst day of her life. Silversea began to pace. "This can't happen! We must find the source of why our barrier is weakening." "I saw this in the crack," said Adderpup taking a crystal out of her tail, "Is the legend true?" Silversea stared at it. "I am...unfamiliar with this," Silversea barked, "Go get Fernspice. She might know somethin' about it."
