This chapter was only for a laugh and because i didn't have anything else to do today. So this isn't a series chapter. Hope you like it. :)

Alternative Ending: The Start of A Prophecy

Time Skip

Leo returned early after a few hours alone after having what he felt now to be too much fun and he was exhausted. He looked over the snowy Valley from the entrance of his den, but now that snow was beginning to melt. Although, it gave the Valley a striking appearance. He smiled as he looked down at the pack have fun and doing what they usually did, until… "Hey Stranger." Someone said to his right. He recognised that voice instantly and whipped his head to see Sahara walking towards him.

"Hey!" He exclaimed happily and opening his arms for her and the two hugged it out. "Where have you been all these months? We've all missed you and we were getting worried." He asked as they let the other go.

"I've been around, seeing old friends, went to visit my old pack, it was about time I did."

"That's great, just don't disappear like that." He laughed and shoving her playfully.

"Why, how much did you miss me?" She asked curiously.

"Enough. You're like one of the family, so we all did."

"You humans, are you all this sweet?" She asked again with a large grin.

"Sadly not, are all you wolves this curious?" He chuckled in return.

"I don't know, you tell me. You've been living with us for a while now."

"You should know too you know." Leo interjected. "You've been coming with me to Robinson's park to see the humans too you know, you should know the answers."

"I know, and I know more then I did before, you may as well call me human." She giggled.

"And you might as well call me a wolf." Leo chuckled. They sat in silence for a moment while they overlooked the snowy Valley and its inhabitants when after a while Sahara spoke again.

"Hey, could you imagine more of you humans living in this pack?" She questioned.

"Humans and wolves living together?" Leo questioned. "Like that would happen."

"I know it's far fetched, but could you imagine it? Humans walking around the Valley, Wolves walking around the towns and cities, neither afraid of the other. Just total peace and harmony."

"Come to think of it, that does sound pretty good." Leo then agreed. "Wolves and Humans being treated like equals, sounds amazing." He sighed, but not in that way, but in another. "But it's never going to happen." He added.

"Why not?" Sahara asked.

"Because who would listen to me, a kid, or if Rick and Ciara got in on this then all of us? How would we get everyone to know about it and know that that was what we wanted?"

"Well, I admit it may take a while, and I don't exactly live as long as you humans. But we could."

"Right, it's 1991, we might not actually do it until, I don't know, in two hundred years time. It can't be done."

"I think I can help you there." A voice added. They whirled around to face the voice that they didn't recognise, it wasn't of anyone's in the pack and they knew it. They looked back at the den entrance to see a wolf with the purest of white fur they had ever seen, but with the strangest of eyes. They were a deep orange, much like Leo saw his inner wolf had, but these were far different.

"Who the hell are you?" Leo demanded as he and Sahara arose to their feet and paws to stand defensively.

"That doesn't matter." The voice chuckled. "What does is that I can help you." He added.

"What?" Sahara asked in confusion. He gracefully got to his paws and started pacing back and forth.

"I couldn't help but over hear what you were saying, and I admire you." He smiled, a smile the two saw was of no threat to them. "I want to help you."

"What do you mean?" Leo asked again.

"I have a very good friend, and the two of us overheard you and want you to do something about this problem that has consumed your two species for too long now. We want you to go out and bring both Humanity and Wolf Kind together as one."

"Ok, I'm not sure if you heard properly, but it can't be done." Leo replied. "As much as that's a great idea and one I'd like to try and do, we can't at Robinson's park and we can't anywhere else. We'd need the world's attention; we'd need to send a message, something that can't be done."

"Not in this time." The wolf said quickly ad before Leo could add anything. The two looked at one another, puzzled and weirded out. "Here's the deal." The wolf added. "I can give you knowledge, the power and take you to the place this can be done. My good friend and I want you to see this through and unite these two species. Do we have a deal?" He asked and holding out his paw for them. What were they to do? Trust this apparent delusional wolf, or turn down this perhaps once in a life time offer and walk away. But that was the thing. So what if this wolf was delusional, this was indeed a once in a life time offer that if he was being truthful about, could change how the world saw things. Sahara was the first and took the wolf's paw with a smile and while shaking spoke.

"Deal." Making the wolf grin. Then Leo bent down and did the same.

"Just a question…" Leo said as he stood back up again. "Who are you?"

"The names Sirius." He replied. "You may have heard the saying "a deal with the devil"…" Suddenly, he waved his paw in their direction, and the two quickly faded away and vanished before his eyes. "But you just made a deal with a god." He grinned before he too then faded away back to his own world.

Sahara awoke the next morning, in another place and in the care of a wolf who looked to be ten inches larger then herself. His name was Faolan, and he was the first she saw when she opened her eyes. He explained to her that he found her outside seemingly dead, so he brought her to his home to care for her. It was then she learnt that something strange had happened, or was happening. She was guided out by Faolan, to the most amazing place. Some giant, and I mean giant indoor den with these strange symbols on the walls around her, the ceiling was nearly thirty feet high; this dome like area was nearly fifty feet in diameter. Wolves the size of humans walked around, walking into and emerging out of tunnels in the walls of the den, seemingly leading to other holes.

She began freaking out, and made a dash for what she hoped and was the exit, but with Faolan right behind her. He managed to catch her and make her calm down before he answered her questions. Her first thought was about Leo, so her asked her about him, he only answered that he only found her, nobody else. So she went into specifics, that he was a human and that they were friends. He merely spat when he heard the word "human". It was then she learnt he, his pack and the wolves of where it was they were, were at war with the humans, and that there was no-where safe from them around here. She had to find Leo, so she bid her farewells and started walking into the deep, snowy forest after she was told she could always come back and would always be welcome.

She walked and ran for days on end before finally, she happened to run into Leo in the middle of the forest she didn't know and neither did he. They flew into the others arms and he explained how he woke up in another part of this place and tried to find her and she told him what happened to her. But that was in the past, they had to find their way home. But it was then that, that wolf then came walking out of the bushes, the one they last saw before they awoke in this nightmare. They demanded an explanation, so they received it, but not how they were hoping.

He simply told them his name was Sirius, he was the god of wolves and over heard their conversation above all the other voices he hears about their plan they wished to see through about wolves and humans becoming a united species much like their pack. He explained to them this was not their home or their time and that they now held the abilities to complete their goal. This was three thousand years before their time, they were now three thousand years in the past, the time when Wolves, their ancestors the giant Dire Wolves and Humans were at war, the time that if something wasn't done now, then nothing could be done to bring the species together in the future where they were from. They had not been born yet, neither had their parents or anyone for any of the packs, for this was thousand of years before the time of Jasper Park. The best technology around was the bow and arrow, the peak of it at this time.

Sirius had brought them here through the power of the deal, a god's most powerful weapon, something which cannot be broken. They were here now, and they had to see through what they were brought here to do or they will never see their pack or family again. To complete their task, which they could not do without, Sirius granted them abilities to help them. He gave Leo the power to move objects with the power of his mind, to manipulate what he saw around him and the gift of incredible accuracy to hit anything he wished with anything. And Sahara the ability to heal the wounds anyone caught in the conflict of this dreadful war and threaten anyone who wanted to move it further through the power of Areokinesis, the power to manipulate the winds and air around her. But one final gift was that of telekinesis, the power to know what others were secretly thinking and planning on doing, to communicate with each other without the use of words. These gifts would be all they needed to complete what they wanted to do. But he gave them a word of caution. These powers would be great, something no-one now or in the future would possess again, so at a price, their eyes would be their give away through changing to a bright, pulsating, fluorescent green when they use their abilities or when their emotions ran high, so either angry, excited, scared or if they controlled it, then at will.

And simply after that the great god faded away after giving them the knowledge on how to use these gifts without having to learn them and one final piece of advice. He was a god after all not the devil, so he wouldn't separate them from their loved ones until the day they die. He gave them an incantation in which they must say together and in unison, when and if they do, they will be sent back to their time and pack and without their powers to continue their normal lives. But while they were here, they must not admit to anyone where they are from.

So from then on, they chose to head back to where they came from. Sahara travelled back to the pack and to find Faolan again and Leo went in search of the closest human civilisation and they'd meet back in this spot in a few days. They played with their new found abilities on their return journey, neither believing that this was possible or it was a dream. But oh no, this was all too real.

Leo found civilisation in a few hours and he set about to try and look the part. He created his own bow and arrows, hunted and skinned several animals for clothes to look the part and fit in with the time he was in. Then he went around earning the peoples trust, which was harder and more complicated then he first thought. He may still only be a child, but it was time he grew up and became a man.

Sahara found Faolan again and she apologised for her strange behaviour and the same as Leo, she went around earning the pack's and wolves trust without revealing who she was or what she could do. She found she was in Alaska, so her birth country at least, not so foreign now after she knew that. She became one of the pack, as did Leo one of the village. But it seems what they wished to happen was going to take longer then they first thought.

The years went by; Sahara found her name in the Dire Wolf tongue, "Sarabi" and Leo in the language of the humans to be "Saykowa", so they went by those names but there were more developments. Sarabi surprisingly didn't age when she was given some enchanted bracelet from the pack's shaman and more were distributed out to certain members of the pack. She tried to encourage them to talk with the humans or at least try to get along, they only laughed at the crazy she-wolf, they were at war, nothing could change that, Meanwhile, Saykowa was trying to do the same with the towns people, but only received the same crazed looks and mocks as Sarabi. They tried and tried to make the others see sense was the war ensued and lives were lost from either side. Sarabi and Saykowa both used their power in secret to try and make things either even between them or try and stop it, but nothing worked. Until finally, one day, things started to get too weird.

Sarabi and Faolan grew close, too close. They fell in love, and as his lover for many more months after it started, Faolan only became curious as to Sarabi's constant sneaking out and therefore making the two after several happy months together grow distant. There he found her talking with a human, one that could understand her and when he came running out to attack, saw that they possessed some god like abilities. They both did. But not only that, when a hunting party from the humans came walking through to witness what they thought to be "Saykowa" conversing with two wolves. They didn't stop it, they ran back to the town to spread the word that they had a traitor as Faolan did to the pack.

When Sarabi and Saykowa went their separate ways and to go home, they were both chased out and pursued by their own kind. They found one another and ran, ran like never before for weeks, nearly being caught several times until one night they both shared an epiphany. They sat around a camp fire and saw that this wasn't going to work, that they had failed. Saykowa was now thirty eight; Sarabi the same age due to her bracelet she gave that prolonged her life and threw into the fire that night. This wasn't going to happen. But it was not only an epiphany that they shared, but a message from the Wolf god once more. He foresaw that it wasn't going to happen in this era, that they were going to fail no matter what they did. But also not to worry, he saw two more in the future that would become like them and complete what they started, but only if they could find a way to do that. They were reminded of the incantation to send them home and back to their time, and suggested a name to go down in history to call their future successors, "The Starnik". With that, their vision ended and on that same night they went on another quest.

They walked and walked, even ran when one of the two species after them caught up to them. But they were fought off when the Starnik finally had to use their powers on them. They ran to another pack Sarabi new of, her own. She knew her pack and family had lived in the same territory of as long as time, so there she found them, and someone who could help. She also knew that the pack's "witch" in their time had always been in it, and passed down its bloodline, so here they found another witch who helped them in secret. She made a ritual for them in which would only be used and could be done when a human gave its life for a wolf and another wolf watched as another willingly sacrificed itself for it. The human would be resurrected and gain the powers of the human Starnik and the Wolf that witnessed the sacrifice would receive the powers of the she-wolf Starnik. But they both knew that neither would happen anytime soon with how things were between the two species. It was a hard process, but it was done, it was something cast onto everyone on the planet, so anyone could do it at any given moment.

So now they were back on the run and only a few days later were they trapped and corner by both Dire Wolves and Humans, ready to separate the crazy excuses for a wolf and human. They yelled out for all to hear of what the god told them, that two more in the future known as the Starnik would gain what they have and finish what they couldn't, but they all simply laughed in their face. But before they could be dragged apart by the scruffs of their necks, they said yelled in unison. "Together forever, but never apart, maybe in distance, but never at heart."

Leo opened his eyes, and before him was the Valley pack territory. He sat overlooking the snowy landscape when he heard a voice to his right. "Hey Stranger." He recognised that voice instantly and whipped his head to see Sahara walking towards him.

"Hey!" He exclaimed happily and opening his arms for her and the two hugged it out. "Where have you been all these months? We've all missed you and we were getting worried." He asked as they let the other go.

"I was around, running some errands and seeing old friends." She replied. "But I was doing something for you more importantly."

"For me?" He asked.

"For you, Rick and Ciara." She nodded.

"Well, what is it?" He asked excitedly and turning to face her more.

"I went home, back to my old pack in Alaska." She started. "I told you how up there we believe in Nature Spirits and that with their permission we can do anything." He nodded when he remembered that. "One thing they have been known to do was to transform one to look like something else. To live as what they were supposed to be." He listened keenly to what she was saying, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Neither had any recollection of the last twenty years they had lived, time had resumed and they continued their lives as if nothing ever happened. Leo and his adoptive siblings were offered the chance to become wolves, which they took and became with the help of Sahara's apparently true nature spirits. Sahara took a smaller dose of what she previously made for the pack to stop her aging and growth for three more years, all for a certain someone. She and Leo howled together at the age of five years old (in wolf years), discovering a howl inside each other that matched and flowed with the other. They found their love, the one they had been searching for, for all their lives.

Many years later, they both passed away after getting married and having pups to carry on their bloodline, and were greeted in the after life by their loved ones, but also Sirius who returned their memories and knowledge of what they had really done. They remembered everything, and now all they could do was wait, wait for these ones that were supposed to take their place.

In the year 2012, a boy named Scott was out running on his own in a forest while on a holiday with his three friends when he came across a hunter who gunned down his latest prize and readied to give it the finishing blow. He dived in front of the gun and took the bullet for his own. Both wolf and human died that day, but unbeknown to Scott, the wolf's pup was watching. Scott gave his life for a wolf; the wolf willingly sacrificed itself to protect its pup from the hunter while the pup witnessed everything. The Starnik was reborn on that day and lets say their lives were never going to be the same again.

So what do you think? Did any of you think this story could possibly end like this? Well, i thought it was a good laugh. hahaha. So look out for my next story which is a mini side Starnik story. Until then. :D
