Yareli never strayed from her human friend's side as they scouted through the forest. To the untrained eye, there was not much to be seen. But Mahala and Yareli saw everything and knew how to appreciate it. They took only what they needed and thanked God for it.

Mahala was a young girl, at only 11 years old. Yareli was her wolf friend - the only friend she had. She loved the canine like a sister and treated her fairly.

Soon, it came time to set up camp. The fireflies flew across the ground and created a light show. Mahala spread a blanket on the grass. She didn't have to live the way she believed her ancestors did - she wanted to. She looked at the wolf and smiled. "Wise Wolf, please sit with me." She said softly.

Yareli did not know what her friend was saying, but she understood the body language. She took a seat beside Mahala on the blanket.

Robin saw the two, they looked, to him, like the female version of himself and his wolf friend Robin Hood.

He walked over to them bowing deeply- he was a young teen of only 14, but he knew the world and the surroundings like the back of his own hand. "hello there" he said "I am Robin, and this is my wolf friend Robin Hood"

Robin Hood trotted up behind his human, he, as well, bowed deeply to the two females. He sported a large pack on his back, but out of wanting to not out of force.

Mahala raised her head to see the fellow human. "Greetings to you, Robin and Robin hood. She said. She carried her own weapons - a knife, a homemade bow, and some homemade arrows. They were not nearly as exquisite as the others' items, but they were professionally made by people who hunted elusive animals for a living. "I am Mahala, and my friend is named Yareli." She said in her musical voice.

Yareli wagged her tail when she saw the wolf. "Hello. My name is Yareli." She barked happily.

"greetings" replied Robin "it is nice to meet you too" he said, "may I help you set up camp?" he asked, trying not to be rude or invite himself.

"hi" Robin Hood barked back. He walked over to her and touched noses gently, the wolves most polite way of greeting and getting to know a new wolf.

Mahala shook her head. A fearful look was in her eyes. "N-No, thank you, sir." She said. The truth was that she was afraid of strangers.

Yareli pulled back when the other wolf touched her nose. She sensed Mahala's fear and growled at the older human.

"Do not be frightened.I am your friend now, we have officially met and know each other now" he said calmly. "what's wrong" he asked noticing the slight fear in her voice.

Robin Hood did not growl back for he knew it would make matters worse instead he said "please calm down, we mean you know harm, we were bringing you some food and other supplies." he stammered, gesturing to the pack.

Mahala gasped, standing up and picking up the blanket. "I-I'm sorry. I have to be somewhere else." She said, still in a fearful tone. And then she fled.

Yareli ran after her.

Robin looked down at Robin Hood "try to catch up to them, but don't bark and don't let your mouth hang open" he said " we don't want to scare them anymore"

Robin Hood bowed deeply to Robin then took off after the two females, he easily could keep pace with them without his pack."wait!" he called out "why are you two running?"

Robin Hood took aff and easily cought up to them and keeping pace with them.
