Balckfire was trying to calm Echostream down but the white queen wouldn't stop panicking. Heronfeather was organizing wolves to find the pups when a warrior named Silvershadow called out, "Where's Ashnight?" Silvershadow was Ashnight's mate as well as being the alphas' pup.
"I'm right here." Ashnight's bark came from behind Echostream and the white wolf whipped her head around to see Ashnight leading Silentsong and Moonflight into the pack. Morningfrost ran over picker Moonflight up and carried her over to where she had been sleeping. Echostream could tell the other mother was extremely angry but underneath the anger was a deep sense of relief. Echostream and Blackfire both stalked over to their pup and glared down at her,
"Thank you for bribing her back Ashnight," Echostream barked to the older wolf, "It seems that you're better at keeping her out of trouble then Blackfire and I combined." She turned to her mate who was staring down at his pup with fury in his eyes. Blackfire looked angrier than Echostream or anyone in the pack had ever seen him. Silentsong cowered at her father's feet as Blackfire glared at her. Echostream knew his anger was fueled by his fear of loosing his pup. Silentsong was like a smaller version her father and they seemed to have a special connection. "What," Blackfire growled, "In Brightpack's name did you think you were doing?" Echostream almost cowered at his voice for it was filled with more anger than any wolf had ever displayed.

(rewind a tiny bit)
Silentsong gazed down as she saw Ashnight and Moonflight dig up her body. "It's time for you to return, now." the starry wolf whispered. "We will meet again." the entire image faded, and Silentsong was floating downwards, back to Earth. As she neared her physical form, she saw and heard Ashnight bark, "Oh no, we're too late! No wolf pup could've survived that long without oxygen!! It took us a long time to get her out, not mentioning to find her!! It'd b incredible if even a strong warrior made it through!" Moonflight felt the wolf's heart, and let out a horrible gasp. "Her heart has stopped!!! She's dead!!!" But then Silentsong felt blackness once more, and an aching pain in her lungs. She opened her eyes, and found herself gazing out from her body.
...
Silentsong flattened her ears and crouched down under her father's piercing stare. I can't explain! I can't say I'm sorry, that I didn't mean to get hurt, or even to wander far, that I caught my first mouse, that I met a starry wolf!! I can't say anything!! Silentsong knew that even though Blackfire knew very well of her disability, the wolf pup's neglect to apologize would subconsciously fuel even more anger.

Blackfire began to growl in anger and start yelling at the pup again but Echostream flicked her tail over his nose, "I'll deal with her." The white wolf told her mate. Blackfire growled something no one could understand and stalked off and away from the pack. Echostream bent down picked up Silentsong by the scruff. The pup wriggled in complaint at first but Echostream growled and Silentsong stopped. She lay her pup down next to Moonflower and glared at Silentsong. "Why do you think this is fun Silentsong?" Echostream barked at her pup, she was aware of the whole pack looking at her, "Do you think it's fun scaring me to death?"

Silentsong cowered down again and shook her head. But I got a prophecy!! I really did!!! she wanted to say, but couldn't.

Silentsong extended a claw and scratched the wolf she met in the ground, and drew a big star around him and smaller stars in his fur, looking at her mother hopefully.

Ashnight greeted silvershadow with nudging of their heads. She then turned to silentsong and noticed she was drawing something. What is she drawing? she thought. Wait! Stop! Don't let your mind wonder! If you do that then you will get into stuff that isn't your business! Don't look back at the pup! Then ashnight started to turn her head and re-look at the pup. She couldn't help but watch the pup draw a wolf in a star.

Moonflight didn't listen to her mother as Morningfrost went on and on about how irresponsible she had been. You'd think she'd get used to it after the first time.
But Moonflight was thinking of other things. Silentsong had been dead! She had felt the missing heartbeat herself. And some how the young wolf had come back to life. The very idea made Moonflight shudder. She couldn't help but stare as a crowd of wolves crowded around The pup.

"A wolf," Echostream murmured looking at the drawing her pup had scratched into the ground. Most wolves would completely confused by the way Silentsong communicated but Echostream usually could understand, "With stars in their fur?" She looked at her pup and Silentsong was nodding enthusiastically. "A wolf from Brightpack?" All of a sudden Echostream was excited, maybe her pup had received a prophecy about the journey! Maybe she could help them! "Is that right Silentsong? Did Brightpack speak to you?"

Silentsong nodded faster. She tried to draw what the wolf had shown her. She drew a tunnel, a ditch, and then suddenly wiped it out violently as if it was an explosion, throwing up clots of dirt in the air. Will she get it? Silentsong wondered. This one is hard to explain, and even tougher to guess...

Wow! Look at those clumps of dirt flying. Ashnight saw silentsong sling the dirt around. She saw the tunnel and thought, What tunnel?. But she once again took her head away from the small pup.

Silentsong looked at Echostream hopefully. She wouldn't be very surprised if even her mother didn't understand this one... and even the wolf pup herself had no clue what it was talking about.

"A disaster?" Echostream asked. "Did you have a dream about a disaster on the journey. Maybe an avalanche." The white wolf began murmuring to herself. Little did she know that she was wrong, very very wrong.

Silentsong shook her head. Explosion. she wanted to say. Tunnels.
...but what does it all sum up to? What explosion, what tunnels was it talking about?
A crowd had now gathered around Silentsong and Echostream. The Healer had gotten wind of a prophecy, and was now trying to question them about it. Seeing that Silentsong couldn't reply, the healer asked Echostream, "Do you know what prophecy your pup got? Or just roughly what it was about?" But Echostream couldn't answer.
Silentsong tried again, drawing the ground, grass, trees, and under the ground, a series of tunnels. Tunnels with ditches. And then, looking around to make sure everyone has seen what she's drawn, Silentsong bunched up her front paws in the center of the tunnels and pushed them outwards really fast, throwing dirt around and trying to make it seem like something blew up in the tunnels.

"Maybe she's drawing somewhere we haven't been yet. Like the home we're searching for." Moonflight woffed as she and her mother padded over.
