Nate watched Zest, he smiled, then felt something in his back leg. It felt like it was breaking or just...something like that. N-Now??!?! Why now? he thought, but still held on with all his might.
Tiny watched and saw NAte was in pain.
Wolf smiled "Slate was one of my commanders in the Rebel War, he came to me and had heard of Rebelling wolves fighting for their own beliefs and also hurting the females and the ones that didn't believe in what they did" he said "Slate gave his life up to save me before the leader of the Rebels killed me" he said "I remember the words he said before he died" he said and felt a tear run down his face.
Ki and Genba bowed their heads "We told him thaqt Wolf was ok, but he knew Wolf wouldn't so he saved him for Wolf to live on" Ki said "We were so stupid to not go and save Wolf ourselves" Genba said "Forgive us for being so stupid" they both said bowing their heads in shame to Niko.
Hougen watched, he hadn't heard about what happed to Slate, but he didn't talk to anyone lately. He just listened and waited to see what would happen.
