I couldnât contain my anxiety.
The thick trunk I controlled should have blocked and hindered the man in black, helping catch him.
Instead, it lost control and fell towards Caleb, turning into a hindrance for them.
Injured, Damien attempted to roll out of harmâs way, but the branch descended with such swiftness that he couldnât escape its trajectory in time.
Watching the branch plummet towards him, my heart lurched in my chest.
âNo! No way!â
Straining with all my might, I yelled in a desperate attempt to focus.
Eventually, through my exertions, we managed to barely shift the heavy trunk.
That was great! I saved Caleb; he was fine.
My relief was immense-I almost couldnât breathe, doubling over to clutch my knees.
While Damien and I rushed to handle the trunk, the black wolf had already made a successful escape.
It slipped silently into the woods, vanishing from sight.
I stared in the direction heâd gone, my heart heavy.
After this fight, I had no doubt the man in black was a formidable opponent.
With his fighting experience, strength, and agility, he was leagues ahead of me and Caleb.

No matter the obstacles, surrender wasnât an option.
This might just be our best chance to uncover the truth.

I wanted to pursue the black wolf, but Caleb stopped.
Caleb tugged my arm and said solemnly, âWe canât keep trailing him.
The man has vanished into that mist-laden forest.
Itâs perilous in there.
Most who go inside never return.
â
Gazing at the mist-shrouded woods, he looked serious.
âIf we plunge in recklessly, we may pay with our lives.
â
The moon itself seemed devoured by the dense fog, while an eerie aroma hung in the air.
The forest exuded an ominous aura, concealing a fearsome beast ready to rend anyone asunder.
Reluctantly, I came to a stop.
âAlright, I wonât pursue him.
