Chapter 17 The surprise of fear!

I was rested up within a few minutes. I had to keep moving away from Stella's mountain. The air in the area felt very thick with fear and darkness. I kept on moving in the direction away from the Balkas lair when I heard a snap. There were two Balkas wolves in front of me. They were about twenty feet from each other. I started to panic. Then I had an idea. If I could control minds then I might be able to shut down their senses momentarily.

I concentrated on the two wolves, then I slowly took away their senses. First hearing, then taste, smell, touch and lastly sight. The two wolves automatically started to freak out after they lost their sense of touch. When I took away their sense of sight . . . they both froze. I walked passed them and ran off. Then when I was out of sight I let go of their senses. I had grown tired from holding their senses and running at the same time.

I slowed to a trot. I was finally escaping! I was free to find my brothers and sister. I was starting to feel better when I got the vision.

I jumped in surprise when I saw Stella all of a sudden . . . sitting in front of me on her throne. Then I realised it was a vision. Stella spoke, "Tuff you are getting very good using your powers but I don't think you will be running away for very long"

"Why" I asked.

"Because I have something that your survival depends upon"

"What?"

"You don't know the name of the power levels that I have explored. But I do know. And so I shall tell you . . . so you are informed. First, the first power is to enhance the senses, then Number two, look into the past, then number three, the future, then number four, you can look into minds, then number five, control them, then number six, you can heal but that is dangerous for it takes a lot of your energy, then number seven, you can control the elements, that is why the seasons are always changing I am controling them, then finally the last level of power I have explored is number eight, the ability to travel through time"

"What!"

"Yes and I have gone to the past and taken something that you will desperatly need"

"W-"

"What is it? It is your father, as a wolf cub"

"D-dad ?"

"Yes your dad" The pane of view widened and grew. I saw a back. The bag moved every now and a then. Then I saw the inside. I could see a little wolf cub about three months old. The wolf cub was curled up and breathing hard. Then the view went back to Stella. "All you have to do, Tuff, is come back. When you do I will return him to before I took him and he will get absorbed by the Bran of that time and he will remember nothing"

"And if I don't"

"Oh, a fatal blow to the head, or a rock falling on him, or suffocation, or dropped off a cliff, will happen and your dad, you, Moge, Gartm and Salka will cease to exist"

I paused. Was I going to make a very bad or good mistake.

"Ok, I'll come back. But I will take my time and pull back all the Balkas. You also have to put my dad back. Deal?"

"On one condition. You have to be here in five days"

"Ok. I guess I will see you in five days"

"If you're not here, I will find you"

"Fine"
