I am a wolf, and I was born in the dark hole. Different from my brothers and sisters, I'm not strong and always underfed. But as long as I smell my mom's scent, I am at ease.

Dad hasn’t always there for us like mom, but I know he is not far away and we are safe. Until that day, Dad and Mom has never come back.

We have waited for a long time, so hungry and cold...

Suddenly, I smell other creatures I have never smelled before. Then my body flows.

I can’t see and hear. I sleep for several times in the shaking environment.

But I know that I have left the place where I was born.

I have arrived in a ... bigger world!
