The wolves entered the big tree. They moved the decorated curtain and walked inside. Inside sat their Alpha, who had lost his name to be called "Alpha" instead. 

The tree's interior was woody and dark, but fireflies of all colors filled the room with light. The floor was mossy and soft, and there were jars of paints and jewels spread out on the floor. Two armored white wolves guarded the red haired Alpha, who was sitting in the middle. 

"Hello, boys." Alpha told the wolves. "Hello, Alpha." Caelum said. "What did your student learn today, Caelum?" He asked, looking at Auri. Auri walked forward a small bit and said, "I learned that humans trust each other and will eat sitting near each other, but they won't trust each other on the streets." "Hmm." Alpha thought. "Anything else?" 

"Money seems to control them, and they can't hunt very well. They also have nothing if they don't have money. People can buy success, and if you don't have en" He finished. "That's good. You learned well." He now looked at Caelum. "You taught well." He spoke to both of them. "You did good. Take a break; you can go back tomorrow." 

"Thank you, Alpha." Caelum said, hinting Auri to walk out with him. They walked out and went to a dark stone cave near that river mentioned before. 

They took their purple jewels off their arms and dropped them in their own wooden boxes. Saying nothing, they walked back out and headed for the deep woods.

They made it to the circular pond. The wolves sat down and relaxed. "That was a fun trip." Auri said, sprawled on his back. "It was. Tommorow we can go deeper into the city." Caelum said, sitting upright watching the horizon. 

Caelum sniffed the air. "There's... ...people here." He said standing up and walking around the pond. Auri noticed and crawled up and followed. "How many?" He asked, smelling the air too. Caelum stopped for a minute and checked. "I think there are five. They have a fire and they brought their things. They must be camping. They could be hunters." He said, sneaking closer to the site. 

They made it to the camp site and saw the whole scene. There were five humans. One was cooking food over their fire, one was setting tents, and one was watching two kids play. "Should we watch them?" Auri signalled. "We should watch them." He responded.
