Detailed Plot Summary
- Toklo, Kallik, Lusa, and Yakone are leaving the forest of wolves to head towards Great Bear Lake and to find a home for Lusa. They climb up a slope and find water.

They settle down in a hollow and Ujurak gives Toklo a message: he must get to Great Bear Lake. Toklo is sad that he has to leave his friends when Lusa finds a home, but Lusa tells him that they will always leave a memory in their hearts.
