Dusk was on his way back to his camp, wondering if he should tell his dad. "If I tell him then It's that much let I've got to keep secret but then I brake the promise I made to Acashia." He a dit to himself.

"On the other hand if I keep it a secret then I don't emotionally hurt her and every thing still cool." He walked to where he and his dad stay and laid down waiting for him to return.

Dusk had waited for about an half heure before he couldn't take it any longer. "I can't wait for my dad... I got to get some food." He a dit walking down to one of the lower ranks.

The loup stood up and a dit "Yes Sir, what can I do for you." "No need to be formal with me, that's stuff is only for my dad, anyway. I need toi to go with me on a hunt..." Dusk said. "Okay, seeing that it's almost dark we need to go. The hunting area is right this way." The loup said.

The two loups walked into the forest, "So what's your name?" Dusk asked. "My name it Andrew... Hey, stay low and wait here a second." Andrew a dit getting low to the ground and silently slipping off. "I wonder what that was about." Dusk thought.

Andrew followed the sound of someone talking, it was about a quarter of a mile to the east. when he got there Apollo and Zeus were talking.

"Zeus, your telling me that your health has gone down colline as well! I don't even know if Dusk is ready but I sure as heck know Acashia isn't ready to be a leader!" Apollo shouted, getting irritated.

Andrew had heard what they a dit and creeped away, once he was far enough away he took off to tell Dusk what he had heard.

While Andrew was off looking for, whatever it was, Dusk was trying to get some dinner. "There toi are..." Dusk said, spying a smaller caribou. He sneaked up from behind, at the right moment Dusk jumped at it. He landed on it's back, biting down on its neck, Dusk head a load crack and the caribou stopped moving and fell to the ground.

"Well, That was easy enough." Dusk said, starting to drag it back to camp. He got about half way back and heard some one coming, lying low he saw it was Andrew.

"For the l’amour of- Andrew why did toi leave?" Dusk asked. "Your dad... I heard your dad..." Andrew a dit breathing heavily. "Is he on danger?" Dusk asked. No, Andrew nodded "Well then help me hall this kill back to camp."

When they got back Zeus was already their... dusk got him and his dad there share of the kill. "Here's, dinner... sorry I wasn't here when toi got back. I had to get something to eat." Dusk said.

His dad smiled and started to eat. When dusk finished he went and asked for Andrew. "When is it, sir?" He asked, walking up to Dusk. "What was it toi were going to tell me about my father?"

"Oh, right come over here..." He said, walking to the arbre line. Andrew sat down and a dit "I over heard your dad and Apollo talking about there health. Apparently the are both not in ideal condition. Apollo mentioned it this way... 'You mean that your health is going down colline too?"

Dusk looked at Andrew and a dit "So my dad and Apollo are in bad health... Okay thanks." "Oh, Dusk, one other thing. toi need to learn to be a great leader... Apollo a dit that he it's sure if your ready to be a leader, since we are allies it might be in your best interest to learn from Apollo and Katrina."

"Thanks for the heads up, Andrew." Dusk a dit walking back up to his den. He got there just as his dad was finishing eating. "Dad, I need to tell toi about something that happened today."

"Okay, what it is?" He asked. "I sprung another trap when I was montrer her the territory, when I asked Acashia to help me get down she uh... um, kissed me."

"I though I told toi not to do anything like that!" Zeus shouted, getting extremely angry with Dusk. "Dad, it wasn't me! and please keep it down, she asked me to keep it a secret. She didn't even want we to tell you..." Dusk said, getting embarrassed.

"Yeah, toi happened to spring a trap! I believe that!" Zeus a dit sarcastically. "Dad please I'm telling the truth, If she finds out i told you... She'll be devastated.

"We'll alright, but I don't want anything else to happen, and thanks for telling me. Now I need to tell toi something... My health, along with Apollo's, it rapidly decreasing rapidly... It's time toi started to ask like a leader, at anytime I my ask toi how toi would handle a situation. toi will answer and I will let toi make the command only if it is correct."

Dusk stood with his mouth open and a dit "I guess thanks! I will gladly take the challenge!" Zeus smiled and a dit "Here is your first opportunity to prov yourself worthy. See those to down there, stop them from fighting."

Dusk looked at them and nodded, he walked down to them and a dit "Wow what's the fighting about?" A black and red loup answered "This guy took my share of caribou, now he is going to pay!"

The black and red loup jumped at the other, Dusk also jumped but at the red and black wolf. He knocked him to the ground and a dit "Where's the sun?" "It-It's setting..." The loup said. "Now, go and get a rabbit ou other small game! I don't want any plus fighting in this pack!" Dusk a dit sternly.

Dusk then turned to the loup the supposedly a volé, étole the others share and a dit "If I have anymore trouble from toi I will personally kick toi out of the pack, GOT IT!" "Yes, Sir..."

Dusk walked back up to his din and sat suivant to his father. "That was okay... I would have handled it the same way but a little plus forcefully." Zeus said. "Well I have had a long day, night dad." Dusk a dit laying down. "Good night son."

The suivant morning...

"Dad wake up, we have a problem!" Dusk said, waking his father. "Crap what happened?" He asked. "One of the other packs has gotten larger and the are on their way to fight!" Dusk shouted running out of the den, his right behind him.

"So which pack is it? K-32?" Zeus asked. "No, I wish it was... It's Black Moon!" Dusk a dit sadly. "Dang it! Black moon has some really good fighters!"

When Zeus and Dusk go to the battle field everything was quiet. I think fog was starting to fill the area, I lone howl broke out. "It was Black Moon's leader calling for Zeus...

"Dusk he want to fight me, alone. Tell the other to on their guard, I have to go face him." Zeus said, starting to walk away. "No toi can't!" Dusk said. "Dusk that is an order!"

"Yes, Sir..." Dusk said.

Zeus walked into the forest, a half mile ou so in stood a wolf, it had a Black top, snow white underbelly, and red on his left eye and his front paws.

"So, Slash, if I am understanding toi correctly this it a duel to the death?" Zeus asked. "Yes, not let's cut the chit-chat and get to business!" Slash a dit leaping for Zeus.

Before Zeus could react, Slash had slit bit his neck and was biting down hard. Zeus punched Slash in the stomach, making him let go. "It will take plus than that the get rid of me!" Zeus shouted.

Slash snarled at him, he ran at Zeus and rammed him full speed into a tree. Slash then kicked Zeus in the head knowing him to the ground. With blood running down his face Zeus a dit "I am going to die in the suivant couple of months... But my son needs me!" Zeus stood up and tried to attack slash.

Slash dogged Zeus' attack and knocked him to the ground again. While on the ground Slash kicked Zeus in the head, chest, and stomach. Finally wielding the death-blow to his dead. Zeus howled out in pain.

Dusk heard his dad and bolted to him... par the time he got there it was too late. Slash was long gone and Zeus was dead. "NO! I WILL KILL toi THE SAME WAY toi DID MY FATHER, SLASH!" Dusk shouted.

He then carried hid dads limp lifeless Body to camp. Dusk set him down in his din, "I need to tell Apollo..." Dusk said, running off.

"Apollo, where is he? I need to speak with him!" Dusk asked. the loup pointed up to din in the side of cliff. he ran up to it and asked "Hello, Apollo?"

"Yes, what is it?" A voice asked. "I am Zeus' son... I must speak with Apollo." Dusk said. "I am him, come in... Is he alright?" Apollo asked.

"Sir, the reason why I am here is because he has... died..." Dusk a dit starting to cry. "Acashia and Katrina had just walked in and saw Dusk crying. "Is something wrong, Dusk?"Acashia asked. "Yes, very... my dad was killed..." Dusk a dit wiping tears from his eyes. "Oh my god!" Acashia shouted hugging Dusk.
