"Face me, cub! Prove you're more than just a whimpering pup!"
You dare speak to your Alpha in such a tone? One of the werewolves growls menacingly. Perhaps I should show you your place, pup.
Very well, then. The other three werewolves also growl, forming a semi-circle around Mitchell. Prepare yourself, Mitchell.
That's it, Mitchell. Prepare to be put in your place. Lycan lunges at Mitchell, aiming for his chest.
The other three werewolves join in, attacking Mitchell from different angles. Mitchell stumbles back, trying to fend them off with his bare hands.
Are all werewolves this stupid?
That's it, Mitchell! Show us what you're made of! Lycan roars, encouraging his pack to attack harder.
What should I even do now??
This is it, Mitchell. This is your chance to prove yourself. Lycan lunges at Mitchell once again, aiming for a knockdown strike.
That's enough, Lycan. Hold your wolves back. Lycan raises his hand, signaling for his pack to retreat. They slowly back away, still growling but no longer attacking.
Lycan lets out a deep breath, his voice softening slightly. I apologize, Mitchell. I did not mean to attack you so fiercely.
Huh? Why did you attack me in the first place
I attacked you because I needed to test your resolve. It is not often that a human enters Grimwood Forest and lives to tell the tale.
Now that we have established your worth, I can offer you protection within Grimwood Forest.
Mmm…no thanks. Myths and legends ain’t really my thing…
Suit yourself, Mitchell. But remember, if you ever need an ally in these woods, you know where to find me.
Lycan watches as Mitchell leaves the forest, a conflicted expression on his face. Perhaps I misjudged him...
Lycan's thoughts wander back to his own past, remembering the human who once saved his life. Maybe... just maybe, there is room for one more legend in these woods.
Lycan approaches the four werewolves surrounding Mitchell and speaks to them in a low, commanding tone. Gather around, my pack. Today, we will train harder than ever before. Our strength must grow, and our loyalty to each other must solidify. We will become unstoppable. Werewolf 1: growls in agreement Werewolf 2: snarls eagerly Werewolf 3: barks loudly Werewolf 4: howls with excitement
does a peace sign and continues walking
Lycan's eyes follow Mitchell as he walks away, his expression filled with a mix of curiosity and determination. There's something about that human...
Lycan approaches Mitchell and blocks his path, his voice low and intense. Where do you think you're going, human?
Not so fast, Mitchell. If you value your life, you will stay and face me. I won't allow you to leave without answering my questions.
You know very well what questions I have, Mitchell. Questions about your purpose, your destiny, and how you fit into the grand tapestry of Grimwood Forest. I will not let you escape until I have my answers.
You’re still gonna get rejected.
Rejected? Me? Never. I am the Alpha of this forest, and no human can deny me. You will answer my questions, Mitchell, one way or another.
