This is just a story idea that I’m hoping to offer to Disney once I work there. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or anything else, just post them on the talk page above. The story’s working title is called ‘’Caska’’, named after the main character of the story.

Plot
“Caska” takes place in the northern parts of North Amarica, where a pack of wolves live. Caska is the story of a young wolf's journey across Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century, though it mostly takes place in the wild. The story explores complex themes, including morality, redemption, and faith, trust, and hope.

Story
At the beginning of the story, Sacul, the wise old shaman of the pack, anoints the newborn pup of the leaders of the pack, Kane and his wife Jiana, and presents it to the rest of the pack where they celebrate. The pup’s name becomes Caska.

The first part of the next scene mainly involves Caska's early childhood, such as a walk through the woods with his mother, some time with the rest of the pack, and his first encounter of his rarely seen father Kane. Kane takes him over to a peak of a cliff overlooking the land of the pack, teaching him about the Circle of Life, the delicate balance affecting all living things. He also tells him that Caska that he will soon be gone and that he will have to take his place as leader. Caska feels unsure, but Kane tells him that if he has faith, trust, and hope, everything will turn out right, if he just believes himself and listens to his heart. Caska then walks off with his mother, saying goodbye to his father.

Meanwhile, various other animal children, each a different species from the other, get lost from their mothers or wander off too far from their dens. Caska, among them, also gets lost from his mother by getting stuck when squeezing through a fallen branch and sliding down a steep hill into a meadow. There, Caska and all the other lost animal children run into each other. At first, they are scared of each other, due to some of their species being “deadly” to the other, but they then realize that they are all friends. Caska’s new friends include Koan the grizzly bear cub, Rena the puma cub, Fineo the deer fawn, Jeffie the otter pup, Keet the raccoon kit, and Bobo the rabbit. They start playing with each other until their parents arrive, who take away their children from the other parent’s children, due to them being different species. Rena’s father gets angry at Caska for playing with his daughter and is about to kill him until Caska’s mother Jiana jumps in front of him trying to protect him. After a short fight, Jiana and Rena’s father discuss the matter and settle the fight. They then walk off with their children. Along the way, Caska asks his mother why he can not play with the others. She explains that every species keeps to itself, and reassures Caska that there will be other pups in the pack for him to play with. This upsets Caska so much that he runs away. Later that evening, Jiana finds him next to a puddle looking at his reflection. She then tells him that even though all of the species different they are all the same on the inside. Just have faith and it will turn out right. She then leads him back to the den where she puts him to sleep with a beautiful lullaby.

Meanwhile, some days later, two men named Bill and Henry and their sled teams enter the valley. A terrible famine has struck the valley by that time. While there, they are stalked by a large pack of starving wolves over a course of several days. Finally, four more teams find Henry after all his dogs and Bill had been attacked in a ring of coals from his fire in an attempt to keep the wolves away. The pack of wolves that attacked them is really aggressive and cruel, and it is lead by a tyrant named Zhar. Zhar is hoping on taking over the entire valley by killing off all the wolf packs that are already living there. There he tells his pack about his plan in order to take over the valley. They will attack the small pack living in the forest next to the river mouth as a test of strength before attacking the bigger pack living in the mountain pass. They are all ready for their battle.

Meanwhile, Caska is a teenager now. The pack had been robbed of their last prey. There is almost no more food left for them to eat. He walks over to his mother Jiana and asks her some questions about his rarely seen father Kane. Most of the questions she does not answer, making Caska wonder more about his father. Suddenly, a flock of crows fly past, spreading the alarm of an invading pack. Jiana tells Caska to tell the rest of the pack. He warns the rest of the pack who start running. Suddenly, the invading army arrives. The army turns out to be the other wolf pack. The army of a pack starts battling Caska’s pack who are no mach compared to the other pack’s power and strength. While the chaotic battle is still being fought, Caska is suddenly attacked by a huge enemy pack member. He is about to be killed until his Jiana jumps in the way and tells him to run. As Caska and Jiana run for the shelter of their den in the midst of battle, a storm gathers up in the sky. Suddenly, lightening strikes a tree and instantly, the whole forest is a blaze of fire. All the creatures living in the forest start retreating to the land beyond the mouth of the great river where the fire will not get them. The forest is packed full of the stampeding creatures and Caska and Jiana end up in the thick of it. Suddenly, an enemy wolf pounces on Jiana. She yells out to Caska while still battling the enemy to keep on running. Suddenly, Jiana is defeated and weakened by the enemy who later ends up being smashed by a falling tree. Caska finally finds the den and quickly jumps in. Soon, the huge forest fire is put out by a rainstorm. Caska emerges and turns around to find that his mother is nowhere to be seen. In a series of dissolves, Caska wanders desperately through the forest calling for her, but no answer comes. Suddenly, he finds her lying on her side, suffering from her injury, too weak to get up despite his urgings. Before she passes away, she gently says to him in her dying breath to never give up faith and to listen to what his heart tells him and reassures him that she'll always be with him, even if he can not see her. Then, finally, she dies. Caska tries to wake her up to no avail. There, he begins to weep and snuggles next to his mother’s body. Caska is then startled by the sudden appearance of his father, Kane, who tells him his mother can no longer be with him. Suddenly, some enemy wolf pack members attack them. Caska and Kane quickly run off into the raining forest with the enemy wolves closing in around them. Suddenly, they get cornered by the enemy with a waterfall at their backs. They have no other choice but to jump off the edge of a waterfall in order to escape, which they end up doing. They end up in a big lake, where they try swimming to the other side of. Caska nearly drowns, but Kane saves him.

Kane pulls his nearly drowned son up onto the shore on the other side of the lake. Caska recovers and asks his father on what happened. His father explains to him the reason why the enemy pack attacked them and who their leader was. Zhar and Kane are brothers. Kane was chosen to be the future leader while Zhar became a scapegoat, due to him committing a lot of crimes and schemes. Once Kane became the leader, Zhar became jealous and tried killing him trying to take his place. His plan did not work too well and he was officially declared an outcast. But, somehow, Zhar became a leader of another pack (possibly by killing the other pack’s leaders) and, over time, planed his revenge on Kane and his pack. He then tells Caska that they have to go to the mountain pass where they hope to warn the nearby pack. Kane, however, does not tell Caska his full plan.

After a lot of travel, Caska and Kane finally arrive at the pass. There they met Garr, the leader of the pack, and warn them about the upcoming danger. Garr knows not to worry, for he has a spy among living in the other pack and the spy will warn them of if anything bad will happen. They also meet Kane's old friend Sacul, the wise old shaman who anointed Caska from before. Kane, whose war-battered body is badly wounded, knows that he is dying and persuades Sacul to become Caska’s teacher. Sacul agrees. Kane then travels to the land beyond the pass, leaving his son with Sacul and Garr.

Meanwhile, Clieg, the spy that is with Zhar’s pack, has learned that the pack is about to conquer the mountain pass with a surprise attack on the pack living there. He then tells Faj, a bat, to fly over and warn the pack living in the mountain pass about the upcoming attack. Faj takes off.

Meanwhile, Caska meets Hasha, the daughter of Garr and the rightful heir to the pack of the mountain pass. Caska tries talking to her but Hasha pays no attention to him. They then end up fighting. Suddenly, Faj, the bat who Clieg the spy sent to warn the pack, arrives. Caska then leads him to Garr with Hasha fallowing behind. Now knowing the plans of the other pack, Garr tells his pack to get ready for the upcoming battle. He then goes to Caska and Sacul and tells them to take Hasha to a far off place away from the battlefield before the battle begins. However, they are not to tell Hasha the plan.

The next day, the time for battle has come. Garr’s pack format a huge line positioned at the entrance of the pass. Face to face, the two armies stare at each other. Suddenly, Zhar lets out a battle howl and his army charges. Garr’s army does the same. Soon, the two lines meet and the battle begins. During the battle, Sacul orders Caska to retrieve Hasha. Caska, at first, hesitates (due to their fight from before), but then carries on. He finds her watching the battle from a nearby view. Caska tells her to come with him, but she stays put, saying that she can stay wherever she pleases. Garr’s army is helpless compared to Zhar’s army. They are outnumbered and crippled. Garr gives the order to retreat. The weakened army retreats back into the woods. Suddenly, Garr encounters Zhar, who begins to fight him. Garr is defeated by Zhar, who runs off into the battle. Hasha runs out of her hiding area over to where her father has fallen. He orders her to go with Caska. She hesitates. Garr tells her go one last time and then dies. Hasha, in tears, has no choice but to obey. Caska, Hasha, and Sacul quickly retreat into the land beyond the pass.

Meanwhile, Zhar takes over the land where Garr’s pack used to live. The rest of his packs start searching the woods for any surviving members of Garr’s pack. All of the ones found are made slaves. Zhar then finds out that Clieg was a spy. There, Zhar leaves Clieg’s punishment up to his pack. They immediately attack him and kill him, making a warning to all the other prisoners that it will be their “reward” if they disobey Zhar, their new ruler.

Meanwhile, Caska, Hasha, and Sacul settle down for a rest that night. Caska had brought some meat for their journey. Hasha asks if she could have some of it. Caska goes to the area where the food was supposed to be, but it gone. Somebody has stolen it. Sacul scolds Caska for letting his eyes off of the food. Hasha then finds the scent of the thieves who have stolen their food. They go off searching for them. About a mile away, Hasha finally finds the thieves. Two lizards named Teeka and Logi. They start talking to each other when, suddenly; Teeka hears Caska and the others sneaking up from behind them. Logi says that it is probably a “cricket bug”. Suddenly, Caska, Hasha, and Sacul pounce on them. They then take Logi and Teeka back to their camp. Logi and Teeka join their party with Teeka having intention of stealing their food and then escaping with Logi. Later, Teeka sets his plan to motion, but he is captured by Caska who knew all along that Teeka was trying to escape. It doesn't take Teeka too long to realize that he and Logi are captives who are about to embark on a dangerous mission with Caska and the rest.

The small group travels across the wastelands of the unknown land before them. Sacul explains to Caska that their destination is the tall, pinnacle-like mountain way off in the distance known to them as Goron, where they hope to find shelter and help from another wolf pack lead by a wolf named Ophuchi. Caska also hopes to find his father there. Overtime, their food supplies begin to run low which slows the group down considerably. One night, they drive into a terrible rain storm. Suddenly, in the narrow valley they were traveling across, the dam made up of dead trees and rock breaks and a huge flood emerges. They quickly try climbing up the gorge ahead of them for escape, but Hasha, Logi, and Teeka are caught in the overflowing rapids. They nearly drown, but suddenly, they are brought over to a raging waterfall flowing into a deep canyon. But Hasha grabs hold to a nearby branch with her teeth, with Logi and Teeka holding onto her tail. Caska, running along the side of the raging river, tries to help them. He then comes up with a plan. He forms a chain with Sacul and a branch and reaches across the river towards the helpless princess and helpers are. Hasha tries reaching, but she can not grab hold. Caska then does a brave and heroic thing, he jumps into the river with him still grabbing onto the branch Sacul is holding on to. It like there is hope, but Sacul looses hold of the branch. Now the branch that Hasha is holding on to is beginning to break. But then, a unknown paw reaches out from behind Sacul, grabs hold of the unconscious Caska and Hasha (with Logi and Teeka still holding on to her tail), and pulls them to safety just in time. Caska recovers and looks up to the creature that saved him. He then recognizes his rescuer, for it is Koan the grizzly bear. The group fallows him to shelter. The shelter turns out to be an ice cave. Koan shows them to his friends. Caska recognizes them immediately, for they are all his old friends from the past. There are even new characters: Kamba the male Puma, Aline the doe, Jina the female rabbit, and “Orion the Wise” the owl. They each take turns to tell Caska and the others their stories on how they escaped. They laugh in anticipation of the blow they will strike Zhar’s pack in the name of their rightful leader, Caska. They all stop laughing, but the laughing continues and they look around in consternation. Caska is amused at the idealism of his old friends. He barely glances at them. The contrast between his friends and his terse nods, their meaningful glances, and Caska, being the rightful heir to his pack, a real person could not be greater. His friends plead to join the party to protect the princess, but Caska refuses, and insists they all return to their homes. They say they have no place to go. Sacul tries to make sense to him to let his friends join. Caska, however, begins to loose trust with him and says that his decision has already been made. The reason why is because Caska wants to prove to his father that he is capable of supporting him with no ones help. Caska, Hasha, and Sacul then leave (leaving Teeka and Logi behind) and say goodbye to Caska’s friends. Still wanting to join Caska on his journey, Caska’s friends begin to follow the party across the wasteland. That night, Caska, Hasha, and Sacul are stopped and questioned by one of Zhar’s patrols roaming the plains. Apparently satisfied, the patrol lets the group continue on their way, but a short distance into the wilderness, they are then attacked by the patrol. The patrol of twelve wolves is more then a match for Caska and his friends. Suddenly, the patrol is attacked by Caska’s friends. The patrol is mostly killed, only a few retreat and escape. Caska then, reluctantly, accepts the presence of his friends and allows them to join the group.

A few days later, after a lot of traveling across the wasteland, the group finally arrives at their destination. While there, they meet the wolf pack living there and Caska reunites with Kane, his father. Meanwhile, Sacul meets with the other pack’s leader Ophuchi. After some discussion, Ophuchi tells Sacul that he has surrendered and is working for Zhar, only if he can trap Caska and Hasha (the two rightful heirs of the packs Zhar had already defeated). Realizing that it is a trap, Sacul tries to run of and warn Caska and the others. Suddenly, Sacul is attacked by Ophuchi and is defeated due to Ophuchi being stronger. Meanwhile, Caska tells Kane all about his adventures with his friends. Kane becomes proud and says to him that Jiana would be proud of him. Kane also introduces him to one of his new friends, Swavay the beaver, who is also hoping to join Caska and his friends. Suddenly, Ophuchi asks for Caska, Hasha, and Kane to join him for a “little talk”. They join him, not knowing what he is planning to do. Once there, they are suddenly ambushed by some of Zhar’s warriors and taken hostage. Ophuchi then explains to them that he was planning on capturing them in order for Zhar to spare his pack and to get rid of Caska and Hasha. Suddenly, Sacul recovers from his previous battle and attacks Ophuchi. Kane helps and yells to Caska and Hasha for them to run with their friends for safety. Hasha runs off, but Caska stays and tries fighting the warriors. Suddenly, Sacul and thrown against the wall and is badly wounded. Ophuchi is just about to defeat him, once and for all. Suddenly, Kane jumps in the way to protect him and is instantly defeated. Caska, full of anger, attacks Ophuchi and pushes him off the nearby ledge. Sacul gets back up while Kane suddenly collapses onto the ground, breathing heavily and bleeding. Caska goes over to his side and asks if he is alright. Kane, however, says that it is too late for him to survive. In his dying breath, Kane tells Caska that he will soon be united with his mother and that he will be with him, even if he can not see him, if he just has enough faith, trust, and hope. Slowly and sadly, Kane dies. Caska begins to weep. Suddenly, the howl of another pack rings out. Zhar’s army is coming. Sacul tells him to hurry. They quickly run off back down to where the others are. Just before Zhar’s army arrives, Caska and his friends manage to escape into the unknown forest. Meanwhile, Zhar’s army can not find Caska, Hasha, or any of their friends. Zhar, however, finds his brother’s body. He also finds Ophuchi, who is badly wounded from his fall. Zhar says to him that since he did not manage to capture Caska or Hasha, he is doomed to die. Ophuchi pleads for mercy and forgiveness, and that he would try to do better next time. Zhar, however, shows no mercy and says to him that he already had his chance, but he failed. After which, he kills him with one slash. Zhar then commands his army to gather up all members of Ophuchi’s pack as slaves and to search for and bring back Caska and his friends, alive.

Meanwhile, Caska and his friends, along with Swavay the beaver, journey through the woods for shelter. Suddenly, a small search party of Zhar’s army comes across them. Immediately, they begin to pursue them. Caska and his friends manage to takedown many of the warriors chasing them under the harsh and uncompromising instructions of Caska. A few of his friends are angered at his cold and relentless directions, although they grow to respect him when they begin to see the results of his training. Suddenly, they are backed up against a cliff. Their only way of escaping is to climb up the cliff, but they do not have enough time. Swavay decides to distract and sacrifice himself in order for them to escape. Caska and the others say farewell to him. While Caska and the others are escaping, Swavay distracts the patrol and is immediately killed. Meanwhile, Caska and the others manage to escape.

Meanwhile, the patrol reports back to Zhar. They then regret to tell him that Caska and Hasha managed to escape. Zhar, angrier then before, kills the patrol. He then orders his army to fallow Caska and Hasha and to bring them back to him. Meanwhile, Caska, Hasha, Sacul, and the rest of the group set up camp. Teeka then realizes that Logi has disappeared into the forest, looking for food. The group decides to split up. Caska and Hasha and off in one direction while the rest of the group go off in the other direction. Logi is then found by the others. Meanwhile, Caska and Hasha come across five Native Americans, and Caska comes to her rescue. One man, Grey Beaver, recognizes the Caska as the son of Jiana, his brother's wolfdog who left during the famine. Grey Beaver's brother is dead, so he takes Caska and Hasha back to their camp, christening Caska as “Son of the Sun”. Once they arrive, the rest of the tribe tells Grey Beaver that they have to leave their tribe land due to some dispute between some settlers searching for gold and their land. Having no choice, Grey Beaver tells his tribe to move to the western side of the Cascade Mountains of Washington state near Seattle. Meanwhile, Caska’s friends find out that Caska and Hasha have been “kidnapped” by a tribe of humans. Knowing that Caska and Hasha are the rightful heirs to their packs (and due to Logi wanting Caska to come back), they head south towards Washington in order to rescue their leaders.

Meanwhile, Caska and Hasha have a harsh life living with the Indian tribe. The current puppy packs, seeing them as wolves, immediately attack them. They are saved by the Indians, but the pups never accept them, and the leader Lip-lip marks him out for special persecution. Overtime, Caska grows up becoming more savage, morose, solitary, and a deadly fighter, "the enemy of his kind". The arguing Hasha and Caska also realize that they love and care each other. Some “years” later, Caska, Hasha, and the rest of the puppy pack are taken to Fort Yukon so that Grey Beaver can trade with the gold-hunters. From there, the story takes a decidedly darker turn. Grey Beaver gets threatened by a dog-fighter named Beauty Smith to give up two wolves for some money and trade. Having no choice, Grey Beaver sells Caska and Hasha to the dog-fighter. When under their new owner’s possession, Caska is trained to be a fighting dog. Overtime, Caska manages to defeat all opponents, until a bulldog is brought in to fight him. The bulldog manages to get a grip on the skin and fur of Caska’s neck, and slowly and surely begins to throttle him. Caska is nearly suffocated when a young, kind, rich gold hunter, Weedon Scott, comes by and rescues him. There, Weedon threatens Beauty Smith to give up Caska and Hasha to him or he will end up being arrested. Having no choice, Beauty gives up Caska and Hasha and sells them to their new owner, Weedon. Overtime, Weedon attempts to tame Caska and after a long patient effort he is successful. When Weedon attempts to return to Poulsbo without Caska and Hasha, they break through the window and make it to the steamer on the river. Weedon decides to take them along with him back to his home. In Poulsbo, Caska and Hasha have to make many changes to adjust to the laws of the estate. In one point, a murderous criminal, Jim Hall, tries to murder Judge Scott, who had sentenced Hall to prison. Caska kills Hall and is nearly killed himself, but survives. The women of Poulsbo estate name him “The Blessed Wolf”. Caska and Hasha lead a comfortable life as the pet of Judge Scott. Suddenly, Judge Scott's gardener's assistant, Manuel, abducts them and sells him to a trainer of sled dogs in Seattle, which were in great demand due to the discovery of gold in the frozen lands of the Yukon. Caska and Hasha end up being sent to Alaska.

Meanwhile, while Caska and Hasha were going through their rough journey, their friends were also having one too. Because of Caska and Hasha being sold to one owner to another, their pursuing “rescue party” ends up going on a wild goose chase from one town to another. Caska’s friends also confront their own inhibitions and insecurities throughout the search, facing and conquering them in a series of events where they're forced to act beyond their own known limits, thus discovering their true potential through faith, trust, and hope, making them more desperate to rescue their leader. They also have their own adventures. For example, when arriving in Seattle, they encounter a gang of mean escaped zoo animals living in a dark alley who start bullying them. Logi, however, tries distracting them by singing a song and making them dance to the jazzy swinging tune of it. The plan works and they end up escaping.

Meanwhile, Caska and Hasha are slowly introduced to the brutality of their new life of sled dogs, both are forced to survive and adapt to conditions in Alaska and the Yukon. They end up pulling sleds with other dogs, learning how to steal food, and Caska engages in power struggle with other dogs for the lead position in the sled team. This struggle also affects his personality; making him develop a grudge and a more brutal personality. The owners soon learn that Caska is a deadly fighter. Caska then becomes the leader of the sled team. Both Caska and Hasha change hands many times before they are eventually acquired by their previous kind and loving owner, Weedon Scott. A few days later, Caska stays up late, thinking about his duty being a sled dog but a future heir to his pack. Hasha joins him. She tells Simba that she doesn't understand why he won't return to the valley, stop Zhar, and become leader of the pack. Caska, however, tells her that their duty is to their master. The two become angry, confused, and end up in a quarrel. They then separate from each other. Suddenly, Caska’s friends finally end up finding him. They then tell him what they have learned from other wolf packs. Zhar now has control over the entire valley. Because of his tyrannical reign, the valley is badly devastated and the famine also has grown more wore, turning it into a barren wasteland. Not even the Native American tribes would go near there. They then tell him that if he does not return soon, all the captured pack members and all the other creatures living there will die of starvation. Caska, however, refuses, knowing that he has to stay with his sled team and owner. Suddenly, that night, the sled team, Hasha, Weedon, and Sacul are attacked by one of Zhar’s special patrols. Hasha ends up being captured while Weedon, the team, and Sacul end up being killed. Before Sacul dies, he tells Caska to listen to what his heart tells him, for it will guide him through his choices and decisions. He then dies. Caska goes into a beastly rage, making his friends go away. They then go back to the valley, without the hope of a future ruler. Caska, remembering what Sacul, Kane, and Jiana told him about faith, finally listens to heart. There, he makes his decision. He decides to go back. Caska catches up with his friends and tells them that he has decided to go back. They then celebrate, for he had finally decided to do something right. Caska and his friends return to the valley where the famine had taken its toll.

Meanwhile, the patrol returns to the part of the valley where Zhar rules, turning in Hasha for Zhar to kill. But when Zhar sees Hasha, he falls deeply in love with her. He then tells the patrol to leave so that he can be alone with her. Zhar, full of lust and desire, begins to court Hasha, who he thinks will make a great future queen, and tries tempting her to join him. Hasha, however, gets the courage to finally say what she thinks about Zhar. Her reply angers Zhar so much, that he strikes her down for criticizing him. He then orders his troops to put her into the “dungeon” (which turns out to be a deep and dark cave), where he hopes to continue his courting. He then goes down into the cave and continues to court Hasha, who denies once again. Zhar then briefly fights her. Zhar, who ends up winning the fight due to his strength, goes back up to the surface, but says to Hasha that he will back tomorrow and that she only has one more chance to make up her mind.

Meanwhile, once back at the valley, Caska is shocked finding out how true his friends’ descriptions of how the once-majestic kingdom he remembered turned out to be. Caska, convinced of what must be done, encourages Logi and Teeka to distract Zhar’s army while the rest of the group tries to rally the prisoners and slaves. Caska, meanwhile, sets off to find Hasha. Once he arrives there, he sneaks down into the cave, slipping past the guards and waking up the unconscious Hasha. Caska then explains to her his plan for escape. They are ready to escape when, suddenly, they run into Zhar standing at the mouth of the cave, getting ready for his final proposal confrontation with Hasha. Zhar, upon seeing Caska, says he is “proud to see him”. Caska then confronts him, saying that he is the rightful heir to the pack and that his heart is telling him that Hasha is his true love. Hasha agrees and says that she loves him as well. Zhar, however, corners Caska at the edge of the peak out on the surface with his army. Suddenly, Caska slips, but manages to hold on to the ledge. Hasha tries helping, but she is held back by the warriors. At the same time, a storm gathers up and lightning strikes the dry brush, surrounding the peak with flames. As Caska dangles over the edge of the peak with flames below him, an over-confident Zhar tells him that Hasha will soon be dead after he dies. He then says to him that his mother (the one who had faith, trust, and hope) paid her price when she died, and that all people who believe and fallow the myth of faith, trust, and hope will end up dieing as well. Enraged with Zhar’s remark, Caska leaps up and pins him to the ground. Suddenly, a fierce battle between the prisoners and Zhar’s army ensues. Hasha, Logi, Teeka, and the rest of Caska’s friends join the fray as well. This time, Caska’s friends and the prisoners have the advantage. Soon, the chaotic battle is over. At the top the peak, Hasha gets attacked by Zhar, who says that she had her chance but she refused it. Hasha is thrown into a nearby wall and is knocked unconscious. Zhar then disappears. Caska then comes across the unconscious Hasha, who asks if she is alright. Hasha does not answer. Caska then begins to weep, believing that she is dead. Zhar then reappears and seizes the opportunity to kill Caska. Caska, sensing Zhar’s presence, avoids Zhar’s attack and confronts him. Attempting to gain Caska's mercy, Zhar begs him not to kill him. Caska has the desire to kill him, but he knows it would not be right. Caska then listens to his heart to aid him in this tough decision. Finally, Caska agrees, because he is not the type who would kill without mercy. Zhar then pretends to thank him, but promptly attacks him, resulting in a violent final duel with Caska’s friends watching from below. Hasha recovers and also witnesses the final duel. Caska is no mach to Zhar’s brutal strength. Zhar triumphs over Caska by kicking him over a low cliff causing a rockslide which buries him in a mound of rubble, killing him instantly. Upon seeing his victory, Zhar gives out a howl of victory and begins celebrating his triumph. Suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes the edge of the cliff where he stands, causing Zhar to fall into a chasm below to his death. Immediately, Caska’s fiends rush up towards the pile of rubble where Caska’s body lies beneath. A downpour extinguishes the brushfire. They stand still, with their heads bowed. The rest of the wolves and other enslaved creatures begin to circle around the death place of their beloved hero and savior. Some even begin to cry. Hasha, standing over her truelove’s grave, who is now heartbroken, whispers that she loves him. Slowly, a tear falls from her eye and quietly splashes onto the rubble. Suddenly, the rubble opens up. Everyone steps back in fear. And out of the rubble steps Caska, the hero. Surprised and happy beyond doubt, the whole crowd begins to celebrate the hero’s return from death. Some ask, “How is this possible?” Caska replies, like what his mother said to him before, that a little bit of faith makes things turn out right if you believe. Caska then subsequently reconciles with his friends and once again embraces with his true love, Hasha, whom he thought was dead. As Caska reaches the top of the overlook, he howls to signify that he is now king of the valley. All the inhabitants of the valley rejoice and celebrate. With Caska and Hasha as the new king and queen, the valley becomes green with life again.

The story then ends with the birth of Caska and Hasha’s two pups, with all of Caska’s friends and their children celebrating, and Caska standing proudly at the top of the mountain, looking down at the newborn pups and letting out a lone howl.

Wolves
Caska: the main character of the story. He is a young, strong, and handsome wolf who has a hard time understanding the ways of faith, trust, and hope. He is the rightful heir of the leader of his pack. He's a good son, and "one heck of a fighter", nearly invincible when fighting. He is strong willed, somewhat arrogant, and has a hard time trying to fit and connect with the others. He even has a connection with Hasha, who he later falls in love with. He believes, at first, at that running away from your troubles can put them to an end. When he is in his youthful stage, his personality is similar to the young Bambi from Bambi, the young Simba from The Lion King, and the young Tarzan from Tarzan.

Plot mood style
The story goes for the heart and love feeling, as seen in Dumbo, Bambi, and The Rescuers, while its mood changes style. In the beginning, the mood is similar to the beginning parts of Bambi and Tarzan while the moods in the rest of the plot (beginning when the invasion starts) are more dramatic, similar to the plots of The Lion King, the later parts of Tarzan, and Lord of the Rings. The moods of the adventure scenes (in which they are journeying across the unknown land) are reminiscent to The Rescuers Down Under, The Land Before Time, and Lord of the Rings. The comedy scenes (which usually star Logi and Teeka) are a reminiscent to the slapstick humor found in The Sword in the Stone, Jungle Book, and the animated segments of Song of the South. The ending of the story is similar to the ending scenes found in Bambi, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Brother Bear. While the music of the story goes back to the dramatic orchestral and choir style found in Bambi, The Lion King, Fantasia, and The Land Before Time, the style of the songs in the story are reminiscent to the Sherman Brother’s style of swing and jazz and barbershop singing-style lyrics.
