Before all hell breaks loose, Mbwana and Askari are hunting. During their hunt they find an egg; Askari wants to eat it, but as the pack leader, Mbwana overrules him with a firm bite to the stomach that sends the pup whimpering away with his tail between his legs. Just like the whelp's own egg did, this one cracks and shakes until another pup emerges from it, clearly the same species as Askari but with enough different markings to differentiate them.

The colt just has enough time to name his new companion Nguvu - meaning strength - before the world explodes around him.

The dog is still too young to understand death, but he thinks he comprehends the finality of it as dozens of horses are sucked into the void. Behind his large hind hooves, his two pups cower; Mbwana wants to cower too, because he has no idea where his mother and father are, or where his precious sister is. He faces a choice - die here and wonder for eternity if his family are dying with him, or go into the portal and hope that they'll be reunited on the other side. There can be only one answer.

The pups cry behind him, reluctant to follow him into the portal. He bares his teeth in a snarl and bullies them both forwards, and their desire to obey their alpha overrules their evident fear. The trio bumble towards the rift, and allow themselves to be sucked into nothingness; the colt takes a moment to glance around the home that he never truly got to know, before everything goes black.
