The wolf tribe pressed on throughout the day, driven by a sense of urgency and fear. They knew the bears were somewhere behind them, tracking their every move. The children of Kelash had left a noticeable trail, making it easier for the wolf scouts to follow their path.
Erkin seemed open to the idea of heading towards the Basin, allowing the wolves to choose their own battleground. Min was relieved by his decision, but now it became a race against time to reach the Basin before the bears could catch up. Min wasn't privy to the details of Erkin's plan once they arrived there. Sergen assured her that her mother and grandmother would guide her when the time was right.
