"I'm going to go now, stay safe wolf!" Bennett said as he got up and was ready to leave when he felt a weight on his right foot. Surprised, he turned and looked down and saw a paw laying down on it. The adventurer smiled softly and bent down to pat the wolf. As he wanted to say something, something caught the boy's eye.

It was an electro symbol on the wolf's forehead. Interested in it, Bennett went to touch the symbol with his fingers softly as the grey-furred wolf lower its head. Purple lightning sparked out from the electro symbol, making the adventurer flinch in fright. Though frightened, he was deeply invested in it. "Wow!" The white-haired boy said in amazement. "Since you have this mark, does it mean that you can control electro powers?" Bennett asked excitedly. The wolf appeared to say "yes" indirectly which the boy could understand. "That's so awesome!" He squealed.

Remembering what he was supposed to say out of a sudden, his face changed to a mildly sad expression, sighed and said "I can't stay here, wolfie, I have to share this among the adventurers!" By looking down downheartedly, the boy knew that the grey-furred wolf was upset.

Bennett hesitated and did not know what to do for a moment. An idea came up to his mind as he said to the wolf, "Oh! Maybe I'll come by and visit every day, how about that huh?" He grinned. Seeing the sight of the wolf cheering up, the adventurer could finally put his heart at rest. "I'll see you tomorrow!" The boy said as he bid the red-eyed one goodbye.

However, things did not turn out how Bennett expected it to be. The next thing he knew, he lost his way and went even deeper into the woods, had to fight off hilichurls and slimes along the way, and get chased by other wolfs from the forest.

It was not long till evening where the blazing sun was about to set, giving the evening hue. Though beautiful and mesmerising, the adventurer was dreaded as he lost hope in finding a way out of Wolvendom. How am I going to get out of here? It seems like some endless trees and bushes prevented Bennett from getting out of the abandoned forest and seeing the light again.

Wait, something's not right... the boy thought to himself, he turned around suspiciously and saw a silhouette. It was rather big and tall, giving Bennett the creeps. Something was emerging from behind the bushes, the green-eyed boy grabbed his sword out, ready to attack the mysterious one when it comes near him to attack.

Though his hands were trembling and did not have a firm grip on the sword, he remained calm while waiting for the one to come out fully.

It's gonna come out any moment now

3...2...1

Bennett raised his sword.

Bennett dropped his sword.

Turns out it was the injured wolf from earlier. "Wolfie!" The adventurer said in surprise as he bent down with his fingers running through its soft, grey fur, he was glad that he got to meet the wolf from earlier but also partially embarrassed as he remembered that he bid it goodbye a few hours ago.

"Wolfie, I've lost my around here...do you mind if I stay here for the night?" Bennett questioned. The wolf looked confused, causing the boy to titter. "Okay, okay, I'll take that as you don't mind," he sighed.

The both of them found a big tree which they could sleep under as it was close to dusk. The adventurer got some wooden sticks to create a bonfire. "I know this is kind of awkward but uh..." he paused, trying to start a conversation but hesitated and changed his mind. "never mind-" he said quickly as he thought he might had embarrassed himself, leaving the wolf frustrated. After patting to flatten the grass, Bennett went to a comfortable position and pretended to be sleeping. Will I ever get out of Wolvendom? Or will I be stuck here forever... it was at this time that the adventurer thought that he might be overthinking. Wanting to have a good sleep, he pushed away the thoughts that bothered him a few seconds ago. Shifting his body here and there uncomfortably, it took a while before he went to deep sleep as the moon shone in the still, night. The wolf, too, also went to sleep not long after.
