Alessia looked at Niko, wonderment in her eyes. "Thank you for brining us here. You have given us hope of survival. Where before there was none." She trotted up and licked his muzzle in gratitude and submission. Then laid down close by him.
Zoltan glanced at her, then looked back at Niko. He whined before he trotted over to Niko and also submitted to his leadership. By licking at the side of his mouth. He then trotted over to his sister and plopped down beside her.
Niko smiled at the two, "Don't thank me. It's not me who discovered this beautiful place. My father did, many, many years ago." He started a tear rolling down his cheek, "Now it can finally go to a great use." Niko explained as a tear his a leaf and splattered.
