As the moon kept shining its magical light over the forest, Elara and Declan got ready for their trip to the Oracle.
The Shadow fang Pack got together to say goodbye because they were still shocked by the recent attack.
Everyone was worried and determined because the events of the naming ceremony were still fresh in their minds.
"Be careful," Elder Rowan warned, his voice tense with worry. "The path to the Oracle is fraught with dangers, both seen and unseen."
Elara nodded, and she was determined. "We'll come back with the answers we need." It's important for the pack's future.
Declan smiled and squeezed her hand to make her feel better. "We'll find the truth, Elara. Together."
With final farewells and words of support, Elara and Declan set off into the forest.
The night was alive with the sounds of nature, but there was an underlying tension, as if the forest itself knew the seriousness of their task.
