THE REHEN NARRATOR They were trapped.

They had managed to slip into the cave, but it was just another dead end.

"Aldo, staying here is worse." Wait, shhh, dont make too much noise.

Lets just wait, Tomas.

It took us a hell of a time to find this hiding spotmaybe it'll be just, as hard for them," Aldo said to his restless friend.

"But the dogs..." He had barely mentioned them when their sharp wolf ears picked up the sound of claws scratching against rock.

"stay calm," Aldo ordered, moving closer to the faint light that seeped through the narrow entrance.

His predatory gaze locked onto the outside, his eyes gleaming dangerously.

The dogs had caught their scent, but the massive boulder blocking the entrance had stopped them.

They werent as big or agile as the giant wolves hiding inside.

Ggggrrr...

Aldos wolf let out a low, menacing growl.

Cross this threshold, and I will rip you apart.

No matter how brave those hounds were, they instantly sensed the beast lurking in the shadowsand their instinct for survival took ---- over.

"Did you find something?" "Looks like no, it must have run off in another direction.

Damn, mutts, they must be hungry, theyre getting distracted by every scent!" Aldo and Tomas breathed a quiet sigh of relief as they heard the mens footsteps retreating.

Their natural refuge, cloaked in darkness, was safe for nowbut for how long? "set up camp here and keep searching! They couldnt have vanished into thin air!" Arthur ordered as he mounted his horse.

He was furiousall this chasing through the forest, only for the bandits to disappear like magic.

sir, we found wolf tracks.

Maybe they were eaten..." and wheres the blood, the bones, the clothing?! Are you a goddamn idiot?!" Arthur roared, kicking his adjutant in the chest from atop his horse.

The man staggered back, nearly falling flat on his ass, but gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stay upright.

"Tf they dont turn up, you'll pay for it with your skin! Search the woodsfind that crate! They must not take it to the other side!" He barked out commands, leaving his men behind to continue the search, while he rode back toward camp.
