Queen Raine walked inside the jail block, where all the criminals were being held. She checked off each criminal by name." First up.. Axel."

Axel had his head down, not looking up, and rolled a leg up to the cell where she was." And what may this be, Axel?"

"Let me out, and I shall tell you," Axel replied, turning away.

"You know I can't let you go, and plus, you have only one more day before your out." Raine said, smiling and turning to the other cells.

Suddenly, a wolf came storming in with tears in his eyes." Queen, there's been a murder!"

Raine stood, shocked." Well, go on. Who was it?"

The wolf lowered its head." Moonlight... she's been killed!"

Axel gasped." What!? My sister?"

Queen turned." Guards, keep Axel here while I go check on this murderous crime." She ran out the doors.

Axel rolled his eyes and blew smoke in their eyes and quickly escape without notice. He walked outside and saw wolfs gathering around the Queen. "Ok, who did this?"

The queen shed tears as she was crying." She was my best wolf hunter, and now she's dead! Who has done this to her??"

"Maybe it was a ice wolf." One wolf spoke.

Raine shuddered. Her paws kept still."Never speak about those killers in our kingdom, or you shall face the death penalty, understood?"

She picked up Moonlight and placed her in a cave. "She will rest here, for her soul shall go away freely. Otherwise, who here knows who murdered her?"

"Axel! After all, he is a criminal, so maybe he could've murdered his own sister himself!" Every wolf growled at him, showing their teeth.

Axel backed up a bit." Calm down, everyone. We all know, if I murdered her, I would be sentenced to death before you know it. And, there also has to be a connection to her death."

Raine nodded her head and blew a bit of smoke on Moonlight." Maybe there is, Axel. Come, if anybody knows all about the ice kingdom, it's Blaze himself."

Raine and I walked to a building, and she knocked on the door. "Blaze is one of the grand hunters there is in the fire realm."

Nobody answered.

She knocked again. "Blaze?"

Nobody answered.

Raine sighed and kicked down the door. She walked in, as I followed behind. A voice laughed. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Queen and her son, Axel. What may Blaze assist you with?" He said, walking around in the dark.

"First of all, he's not my son, and two, show yourself into the light," Raine spoke, her words affecting me.

"Yea, show yourself!" I said, looking around for the whispers. I heard the laughter from behind and I blew fire from my mouth and it dissappeared. Blaze laughed, and appeared, walking out from the shadows. "Weak powers, I must say." His eyes turn black and ran towards me and kicked me down.

Raine stood in his way and growled." Back away from him, he's no harm to us!" She yelled.

"He may not be harmful to us, but to the whole kingdom. He's a murderer, how can you trust him?" Blaze said, walking to the throne and sat down. "He must go at once, criminals aren't welcome here. At all."

"Well, he is. We need your help, Moonlight's been killed."

Blaze was shocked, and lowered his head."You don't say?" He shed a tear.

I got up and walked over."My sister has been murdered. Any idea if you killed her.." I growled at him and blew fire towards him. Blaze fell to the ground, and looked up."Now talk!"

Blaze coughed." Ok, maybe I know something about Moonlight, but I'm not telling you!"

Raine and I both growled at him, ready to blow fire to him. I pounced on him."What do you know about her that I don't?"

Raine put a paw on me."Axel."

I backed up, silently. "Go on, explain your reason."

Blaze got up and walked to his throne."Not long ago, your sister Moonlight was the best hunter here in the fire realm. She was a good hunter, and would hunt food for us for the winter season. Until this day, this horrible, yet terrifying tragedy strikes us all at once.. and nobody will stop it."

Raine sighed."What about the ice kingdom? Surely they know about this death, what good will they do, even when they kill?"

"There is no reason to kill, only peace and kindness shall restore it." Blaze turned towards the door and opened them."Go, the ice kingdom and fire will have a mandatory meeting. All wolfs must come at once." Blaze explained, walking us out."I shall see you momentarily." He closed the door.

I looked up at the sky."Well, that was strange.."

"I must go, gather the guards and meet back here, the door will be open. I promise." Raine said, running back to the gates. I ran behind her, following her every move.

I saw some guards resting and sleeping."Queen wants you all to gather every wolf you can find and bring them to Blaze. It's urgent!"

The guards got up and held their weapons in their mouths and started to run around the kingdom. I figured I'd make a shortcut to Blaze's home and figure what's going on. I ran into the forest, same as where Moonlight was killed. I ran and ran, not looking back, then tripped on a stick."Ugh, sticks."

I picked up the stick and ran towards Blaze's home. I kept running until I reached the door and tried to stop but hit the door."Ow.."

Raine and Blaze both stood, looking down at me."Really?"

I got up and walked in, seeing many wolfs, growling their teeth and smiling. I looked in front and saw the queen sitting upon the throne beside Blaze. Raine silenced the crowd."Now, you all know why we're here today?"

"Um, to imprison Axel again." One wolf spoke.

"No. We are here today because the ice kingdom wishes to pay a visit to us. Now, everyone be happy and show smiles.."

The doors flew open and the wind blew inside, making it cold. A wolf appeared, standing on all four paws.

Everyone gasped.

"What type of wolf are you, stranger?" Queen Raine said.

The wolf didn't respond.

"Great. Guards, hold the wolf down." Queen Raine commanded, pointing her paw at the wolf.

Some guards held their weapons at the wolf."Surrender, wolf. Or you will be killed."

One guard gnarled his teeth and used his claws and jumped high and clawed the wolf. The wolf smiled and grabbed his paw, freezing the sword. The guard gasped, then punched the wolf. The wolf then grabbed the other paw, freezing the other. Then the wolf flipped him towards the door, and was unfroze, but terribly bleeding on his paws.

"You shall be killed, wolf!" Another guard spoke, and held his sword with his teeth and sliced the wolf's fur off. The wolf slid to the right and grabbed his sword, breaking it. The guard gasped."How?"

The wolf growled its teeth and bit him near his eye, and bled."My eye!"

Raine stood and looked shocked."There's no choice..Blaze, we have to stop this wolf." She said, ordering him and Blaze stood, growling his teeth."Whatever type of wolf you are, you're going down!" Blaze blew fire from his mouth and Raine also blew fire from her mouth and created a fireball and blasted the wolf."Ha!"

The wolf blocked it and smiled, and summoned an ice sword and it flew towards them both and knocked them down to their seats. Blaze looked as the wolf walked forward."Who-who are you?"

The wolf looked around and saw a pup and smiled. The wolf swiped the pup and ran out, holding the pup. I noticed the pup, and gasped."That wolf has Yuri!" I yelled to Raine and Blaze.

Blaze sighed."It's over, Axel. We can't save her now.."

"Yes, we can! How can you let your own pup be dragged away by another wolf, and is probably in a different clan than us?" I asked, looking at the doors." We have to save her."

Raine smiled."Well, if we're saving her, you have to journey into the dark forest.."

Everyone gasped and murmured.

"Th-the dark forest? Where the shadow clan is??" I asked, freaking out. "Count me out."

Raine looked confused."Axel, your the only one who can save Yuri. Blaze will go with you for company." She spoke, looking at Blaze as he walked down beside me. "Blaze, do the honors."

"With pleasure, my queen." Blaze kicked down the door and grabbed my paw and ran out. As I looked back, I see Queen Raine frowning with tears in her eyes.

As we journeyed through the dark forest, Blaze stopped in his tracks and sniffed the ground."This way, Yuri's here somewhere.."

I walked and heard whispers behind me, and I turned around. Nothing was there. "Um, Blaze.. I hear whispers.."

Blaze rolled his eyes."It's just the wind-"

He turned around and saw me gone. Vanished into the dark. "Axel!"

A whisper called to him."Blaze.. leader...Yuri is safe with us.."

"She is only a pup, return her at once," Blaze called out, and I appeared, falling. Blaze looked around and saw Yuri."Yuri, grab her Axel."

I ran towards Yuri, but got caught with some wolfs. One wolf walked forward and smiled."Axel, good to see you here, shall we continue our little talk?"

I looked at the wolf."Who are you?"

" Easy there, fella. Let Blaze do the talking for ya.."Clyde said as Blaze walked forward, his head down."Axel, this is Clyde, one of my apprentices of this clan."

"Clan?" I asked, looking confused.

"Shadow Kingdom." Clyde spoke, sitting in a tree."We're shadow wolfs, we hang around the forest and we hunt at night only." He said, disappearing behind Blaze."And Blaze here knows everything about this clan, he's our leader."

"Blaze, is this true?" I asked.

Blaze sighed, and put a paw on me."I'm the leader of this clan, I came back to the fire kingdom to see Raine." He explained, looking down."I'm only ruling this kingdom because Raine could handle it on her own, so my clan would be better off without her."

Clyde smiled and pushed yuri."Here's your pup, anyway."

Blaze thought of something. He heard a claw behind him and he blew smoke behind him, as another wolf fell. "Well, well, if it isn't the lucky wolf."

The wolf got up, and grinned, showing teeth."Blaze.."

Clyde stood, holding the pup."Don't want the pup?" He asked, putting his claw into Yuri as she yelled for help, but continued to bleed. I looked at her and Clyde."Yuri! Blaze, it's a trick!"

Blaze turned around and saw Yuri on the ground, her eyes staring at me. He shed tears and blew smoke towards Clyde, blocking it and holding his paws."Listen here, you belong back to the fire realm, and you puny wolf, take your little pup back to your queen, seems like we have a hunt to dine for." Clyde laughed, walking away smiling.

As Clyde walked away, me and Blaze stared down at the wolf. "Tasha??"

The wolf growled and removed its hood. "What do you want from me? And who is this?"

Blaze sighed."This is Axel, and we're taking you back to fire realm, and send you in for the queen." He said, growling his teeth and picked her up.

As the queen was pacing around, she saw me and Blaze walking back."Thank heavens you're back."

"And we found someone snooping around, too." Blaze spoke, dropping the wolf.

Everyone gasped.

Queen Raine walked forward and helped the wolf up."I can't believe it, Tasha..?"

Tasha growled at the queen."What do you want?"

Raine looked pleased."Did you murder Moonlight?" She asked, revealing her body.

Tasha looked down, and smiled."No.."

"She's lying to you, like she tricked Blaze into Clyde killing Yuri!" I yelled, walking to her.

"And what would you know anything about these clans? You don't know anything about Moonlight, and her past." Tasha explained, turning back to me.

Raine noticed tasha's paw and looked angry."What's on your paw?"

"Nothing but ketchup, my queen." Tasha said, smiling.

"Nonsense. Tasha knows she's lying, and knows she killed moonlight herself, because they didn't get along together." Blaze smiled."Now, answer the question. Did you kill Moonlight?"

"No, I swear, I didn't kill her." Tasha backed up a bit.

"Tasha?" Raine growled at her.

"Ok, so what if I killed her, I just wanted to become the next queen!" She yelled.

Blaze walked forward and growled." What?"

"What Moonlight started is the question! She's dead and I don't care!" Tasha yelled, and ran away without looking back.
