Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Into the Wolf's Den



The forest south of Erandel stretched out endlessly, dense and tangled. Twisted trees blocked most of the sunlight, and the deeper Renji walked, the colder the air became.

Birds chirped overhead, and leaves rustled gently in the breeze. But aside from that… nothing.

Renji carefully stepped over a root and scanned the area, dagger in hand.

"No tracks. No howls. Not even a single fang print..."

He had followed the directions from the guild — past the river bend, near the old shrine, through the mossy stone path — but the forest was silent.

"Did I come too early?"

"Or is this directions were wrong?"

he muttered, adjusting the strap of his pouch.

Hours passed.

Renji scouted, watched, waited.

But still, nothing.

The sun began its slow descent, casting long shadows through the trees.

"...It's getting dark,"

"Stil found nothing.."

Renji muttered, glancing up at the dusky sky.

Should I head back?

He turned around, starting to retrace his steps toward town.

But just as he reached a narrow path between two boulders—

Growl…

Renji froze.

A low, chilling sound echoed from the bushes.

Then another.

And another.

Three pairs of glowing red eyes appeared in the darkness.

"Shadow Wolves…"

"Finally they appear"

he whispered, his grip tightening on his dagger.

They stepped out of the brush — black fur bristling, teeth bared, claws scraping the ground.

The leader snarled, saliva dripping from its fangs.

At that moment Renji was about to fight but he remembered one thing

"Wait… Shadow Wolves are stronger at night."

"How am I suppose to fight them if they become more stronger than before?"

The last rays of sunlight disappeared behind the trees.

Darkness settled over the forest.

The wolves circled him.

"It getting dark... What should I do..."

"They are getting stronger and they are three of them...!! I can't win against 3 Shadow wolfs all by myself.."

At that time a shadow wolf suddenly rush to him.
