The Alaskan wind howled across the remote island, carrying the scent of pine and salt. Cole Matthews sat by the fire, his blonde hair tousled, face softened by a year of isolation. The violent boy who had burned supplies and fought bears was gone, replaced by a young man seeking peace. Beside him lay the colorful At.oôw blanket, a symbol of Garvey’s wisdom. Peter Driscal approached, tension lingering from their past. Cole looked up, his eyes clear, ready to face his friend and the path ahead together.
