Nyko changed back to his human for still unsure. Was it the alpha of the other pack? Did he know this wolf? He frowned in frustration and left the bathroom and studying the drawing again.

Kai finished up his dinner and handed his plate to shadow. He nodded to Flame and went and took a seat in the living room.

.

Nyko jumped at the sound of a knock. "Be there in a minute." He said as he folded the paper back up and shoved it in his pocket. He opened up the door and headed down the stairs.

Shadow stood back as Nyko came out and headed downstairs. He waited a moment before following him down. Making it to the living room, he sat down in a chair before looking over at Nyko expectingly.

Nyko took a deep breath as he reached into his pocket. He wasnt sure if his pack was going to think him crazy or not. He pulled out the drawing and began to explain as he unfolded it. "Earlier today in art, we were told to draw a forest. Well in my forest I drew were wolves fighting. I know this sounds a little weird but just please hear me out. I recognized most of you in the forest fighting against other wolves I did not know. But that's not the weird part." Nyko stop ed d for a moment as he finished unfolding the paper. He turned it to face his pack mates and continued on pointing a TV the main focus the wolf he didn't recognize in the front snap of ling at the viewer. "This wolf looks familiar and feels familiar. I dont think it's a rival wolf that our pack is fighting I think they are part of my pack. But I dont know if it's me or not."

.

Kai looked shocked. The wolf did look and feel familiar yet it wasnt his alpha. And it looks like the wolf is growling at someth8ng behind the viewer not the viewer itself. It made Kai want to turn around and check to see if there is anything behind him.

Flame blinked, tensing up a bit. She could see herself in the background and the wolf in the line of view was familiar. She could see however, that it was not her alpha. She stared at it before shaking her head. "This is odd. What do you think it means? Other than we will maybe fight a pack in the future?" She asked, her eyes fixed on the picture.

Shadow Eagle

Shadow listened before closing his eyes as he saw the picture. He rubbed the bridge of his nose as he leaned back. The picture looked familiar yes, but. . .different wolves. Oh, the boy had it. The ability to draw his subconscious of the future. Scrying is the word alpha had used. Shadow almost choked. Former alpha. Ah that was hard to get used to, even now. He was old, he had better not be losing his memory.

Shadow looked over to Nyko, seeing the similarities as usual, but in a new way. He heard Flame's question and tucked his thoughts back in place, realizing that he had been staring sadly at his alpha. He quickly refocused on the beta, hoping that Nyko hadn't noticed. He didn't know what the picture meant, but he did know that he had seen it before a long time ago.

Nyko shook his head to Flames question. "I have no clue." He admitted. He looked over at shadow who he had seen staring at him out of the corner of his eye. "Shadow what are your thoughts. You know more about pack legends and stuff then we do. Anything coming up?" He asked the elder worriedly.

.

Kai couldn't take the feeling of the wolf's stare any longer. He looked behind himself to make sure nothing was there not caring if anyone noticed. As he thought. Nothing was there. He was shaken from his thoughts when Flame spoke up. He then put his focus on his alpha.

"Shadow what are your thoughts. You know more about pack legends and stuff then we do. Anything coming up?" Nyko asked and Shadow sighed gently. He wasn't sure whether to tell the boy yet or not. He decided to wait a bit longer for now, see if Nyko was just like her. "Well, the packs fighting in the background remind me like a picture from long ago." Shadow said, rubbing his forehead. Ah yes, the memories were threatening to surface and he didn't want to relive them at the moment. He scratched the back of his neck before saying softly, his voice deepening as sadness entered his voice, "The battle between the rogues and our pack that ultimately killed your parents."

Nyko was speechless. He folded the paper back up and put it in his pockets. He shoved his hands in his pockets and started to leave the pack house. "I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later." He said as he closed the door behind him. He jumped forward as if he was jumping into a sprint and transformed mid air. He took off running through the forest as images of that night began to flood his head. He weaved his way through the trees not caring where he was going. Once his mind started to clear, he slowed down and took a look at his surroundings.

.

Kai was worried about his alpha. He could tell that something was upsetting and worrying him. Kai got up from where he had been sitting and started for his room.

Shadow watched as his alpha left quickly. Flame shook her head pacing the room as Kai went towards his room. Shadow got up and started outside, Flame starting towards him. "Stay here. I'll get him." Shadow said in a respectful yet stern way. Flame frowned at him, no doubt mad at the order but soon went up towards her room. Shadow sighed before walking outside. He waited a couple moments, giving Nyko a good headstart to clear his head. Shifting gently into his wolf form, Shadow started forward, following Nyko's scent.

As he weaved through trees, he reviewed his thoughts. Probably should have said that a bit more gently, he kept forgetting that his alpha was still in his late teens. There was bigger problems than that though. The picture flashed through his mind and he reviewed it with one he knew all quite well...

Dark forest surrounded the two packs. His alphas stood snarling at the rogue pack, fur bristling as the youngsters stayed behind them. The rogue pack crouched growling with a large wolf in the lead. In the center stood a young wolf. Nyko stood tall and proud as he looked on to who knows where. Just a picture, he thought but so much more to be told that none could see. What she couldn't see. . .

Lost in the memory, Shadow tripped, rolling once before coming to a halt. He groaned slightly getting up before stretching. That fateful day. . .no, he wouldn't think about it. Too much weight was being carried already. Some of those scars would last with him till he died. Quite literally in some cases. Shadow coughed before shaking his head, he barely knew where he was but he had passed a stream here. Walking back, he took a sip before slowly starting to follow the trail again.
