Summary
Chameli calls for a meeting of the pack after Chil brings the news that a herd of deer is headed in their direction. Akru is assigned as the leader of the hunt. Akela is assigned to lead the 2nd group who is tasked with stopping the herd. The 3rd group, who will attack the deer will be led by Mowgli.
The hunt begins and the wolves surround the deer. Akru and his group lead the deer into a particular direction, where a trap has been laid for them. As the deer enter the designated path, Mowgli and his group attack the deer. Several deer are killed, and the hunt is a massive success.
Chameli credits the hunt to Akela and his pivotal role. But Akela is clear that he did not contribute as much, and the success of the hunt totally belonged to Chameli and her brilliant strategy.
This is when a scout brings news that a pack of Hyenas have entered the wolf's territory and stolen a herd of buffaloes. The Hyenas are in a large group of more than a 100.
Akela decides to lead the attack against the Hyenas and leaves before Chameli can object.
The wolves come face to face with the Hyenas and a brutal fight ensues. The wolves are winning when 3 Hyenas attack Akela simultaneously and injure him badly. It is very later before Mowgli arrives and rescues Akela from the Hyena attack.
Mowgli brings Akela back to Leela's cave and prepares the herb medicine that he learned from Bhola. Mowgli applies the herbs to Akela.
But the situation does not improve, and Akela gets weaker day by day. It has been 2 weeks since the attack and Akela's wounds are not healing. He is not responding to the herbs either.
Akela has also lost all his appetite. Bagheera tries to explain to Mowgli that Akela has lost his will to live, but Mowgli is not willing to accept this. Chameli also counsels Mowgli that death is an integral part of life. Chameli says that Akela has lived a full life and now needs rest. They should not stop him from moving on.
Mowgli is furious and can only yell in frustration and his inability to change anything. That night Mowgli sees Akela wandering outside his cave and decides to follow him. Akela goes to the top of a mountain and takes shelter in a cave.
Mowgli protects Akela from wild dogs, when they try to attack an old wolf. Mowgli's ferocious assault forces the wild dogs to retreat.
Akela knows that Mowgli has been following him and invites him into the cave. Akela explains to Mowgli that he is now old and useless to the pack. Chameli will not exile him, so he chose to exile himself to live out his last days. Akela says that death is the ultimate truth of any life.
Akela also says that Mowgli's true place is with the humans. He says that Mowgli will keep missing Radha and when it is unbearable, Mowgli will leave the jungle and live amongst the humans.
Akela then takes his last breath in Mowgli's arms.
