Summary: Urjak,  (shape-shifter Brown bear), Lusa (Black Bear), Kallik (Polar bear) and Tolko (brown bear) have finally reached what they all have been searching for.. a place of endless ice, huge forests and with no flat-faces (humans) and of course lots of prey to hunt, all this called the Great Last Wilderness, they all searched for this place to avoid flat face hunters with fire sticks (guns) and their black paths (roads) and their huge smoke spitting monsters (cars). To the young bears everything seems so perfect here but Urjak gets dreams about how their journey does not stop here and how he must save the wild. Lusa had the same dream as Urjak that she must save the wild and it keeps on worrying her not knowing how she could save the WHOLE wild as only a tinny black bear cub. They are starving and see a flock of geese searchign for food in the ground, only one would feed them all. Tolko is determined to get at least one but as her stalks them it is easy to detect him when they have landed in a plain are where there is not cover and they fly away, this happens about three times and then Tolko gets and idea, even tough he does not like it they got to eat. Urjak could change to a goose and be among the geese and then in the middle of the change back to a bear and catch one, Urjak does not like this idea since only he can understand how it is to be another animal. When he changed he wasn't himself... it was like he actually became that animal and forgot all about his bear past. But he tries and he ends up flying away with the geese, the flys a while seeing three bears running on the ground roaring something after the flock.... one bear white, one black and one brown... there was something important he had forgotten but he could not make out anything about these bears anymore. They fly and land by the sea which was near where they had taken off and Urjak could feel his tummy grumbled as he ate seaweed and how it filled his empty tummy, but as he east another chunk of seaweed he suddenly chokes and he can feel pain stab is throat and a sliver string hanging from his moulth. He can not breathe and blood is coming out his mouth he loses energy from panicking and there is nothing he can do... Tolko and the other two she-bears hurry and follow the direction the geese and Urjak took off in and end up by a beach not far of. They see a goose laying there with blood dripping out of his mouth. they realize it must be Urjak! They try getting the thing that is choking Urjak out of his mouth but their paws are too big. Lusa get an idea, they saw other flat-faces father away, not the kind of flat-faces who fear them and try to hurt the with fire-sticks, they seemed different. Tolko carried Urjak on his back with Kallik and Lusa helping in the sides caring Urjak which they forced to turn into a flat-face so the other flat-faces  would maybe help him, Tolko does not like the idea to take Urjak to the flat-face den which the saw a flat-face pup that was hurt went into and when he came back out he seemed healed again.. but would they heal Urjak? when they finally arrive the put Urjak by the door and call outside not knowing if the flat-faces would understand. They quickly hide in the bushes waiting for the flat-face to come out and finally a long male flat-face comes out and looks shocked when seeing Urjak the carries him inside. Urjak wakes up being in a room with soft flat-face pelts all around him and a big pain in his throat, a old man comes in and say he will be all right and that he had gotten an fishing line into his throat and that the hook had been stuck in his throat but is now taken out. The man knew directly that Urjak was not a normal human and realizes Urjak is a bear but he is not surprised since he him self can change into only one animal, a snow rabbit but he is fascinated about how Urjak is a shape shifter. Urjak feels calm seeing this man was also special and that he was wise and understood but he must really get back to his friends. Tolko realizes he does not need to take care of everyone and he has longed to go the the huge forest even though it means leaving his friends. As Lusa, Kallik and him settles down to rest in the edge of the flat-face dens to wait if Urjak comes out he decides to tell Kallik and Lusa the he will leave. Lusa begs him to stay at least a bit longer but Kallik understands that the forest is calling him and she gets the same feeling when she smells the snow and ice which is calling her, which makes her sad to know Lusa will never understand that since she was born and raise up in some kind of Flat-face place in something called a Bear-Bowl (in a zoo). Kallik wonders how she will say that she will also leave when the ice comes a bit closer to the beach so she can swim over there alone. How will Lusa take that they all must go separate ways at last and will they ever meet again when they split up? the questions where buzzing in Kallik's head.
