They traveled for what felt like an eternity, but once they got to their next place to settle, it was a surprise to them.

The valley ahead of them was dead looking, but it seemed....in a way....strangely beautiful. There was nothing but tall, yellowed grass that stretched for miles. It was way taller than them,which was worrying to Scratch. They decided to walk through without hesitation.

As they wandered in, the energy began to feel odd. Scratch's hackles raised as he looked nervously in every direction.

"Can you guys feel this?" He asked.

Thunderbolt had a worried expression on his face, while Howl stood frozen.

Scratch could smell it in the air; something was wrong. He turned to Shadow. "What IS this?" The black wolf looked in his direction, but didn't speak.

"I can feel it too, what the hell is this?" Thunderbolt replied.

Howl whimpered as he stared into the distance.

"Hey, are you alright?" Scratch asked him.

Howl began to shake, he backed away slowly as his tail tucked between his legs.

What was he staring at?

His friend then barked, which made both Scratch and Thunderbolt jump.

"Howl, snap out of it!" Scratch shouted.
