11 The Great Reunion

The Howling filled the night air, a chorus of voices rising from the heart of the forest. Joose stood among the wolves, his heart swelling as he joined in their ancient song.

... Aroooooooooooooooooo ...

But as the song reached its peak, something changed. One howl cut through the rest—clear, familiar, and true.

He turned, sensing something beyond the moonlit trees. There it was—a faint trace of smoke carried on the breeze. His heart raced, pounding in time with the wild beat of the wolves’ song. A hand touched his shoulder.

Joose spun around, and beneath the stars stood a figure he thought lost forever: his brother, Dazler. The sight was so familiar, so precious, that time seemed to pause. Without hesitation, they embraced—the years and distance between them melting away in an instant. All the pain, all the longing dissolved as their hearts beat as one. Beneath the full moon, their bond was stronger than ever.

The pack grew quiet, watching the reunion with awe and joy. Slowly, the wolves joined in, their voices weaving harmoniously with the brothers’ howls. The sound was pure, a celebration of reunion, survival, and enduring love.

Silver moonlight bathed the clearing, illuminating the bond that had carried Joose and Dazler through fire, separation, and loss. The wolves circled them, their song rising, carrying their voices to the stars. Together, Joose and Dazler lifted their heads to the sky, howling as one—their voices blending with the ancient celestial song of Lupus and the Star Hunters.

As the last echoes of the Howling faded into the night, the brothers stood side by side, gazing up at the stars. That night, the stars themselves seemed to twinkle with a brightness never seen before. Their bond was more than blood—it was the strength of survival, the love of brothers, and the ancient connection to the wild and the spirits beyond.

Together, beneath the endless sky, they had howled their story into the night—becoming part of the eternal song, forever woven into the fabric of the stars.
