Clyde let out a heavy sigh as he trudged through the mountains. His feet were sore and the dry mountain gusts chilled his thin body to the bone. If he wanted to, he could just turn back and leave the strange terrain behind, and come back when he was better prepared. What in the world possessed him to make such a daring venture? Other than the fact that there was no home for him to return to, he was basically just sick of being around other humans.
Clyde had always been a timid boy, and that personality never changed even up until his eighteenth birthday...which went by unnoticed to anyone else in the village. On the other hand, he did manage to acquire a bit of a daring pique in his character. Hence his decision to make a risky trek to the mountains, despite the stories of a hidious Blood-wolf that would hunt and devour any human dumb enough to make their presence known within it's territory...
But in Clyde's mind, those stories were no more than fairy tales meant to scare children into staying awake at night, giving them the excuse to be exhausted in the morning. But of course, there were many things that most believe that Clyde would just find preposterous.
As a result of him being completely alert of his surroundings, he heard a sound...voices? Yipping? It was barely comprehensible, but aroused his curiosity nonetheless. He pushed aside a small thicket to provide more access to his path. As he brushed one final thicket to the side, he was greeted with a sight that made his blood run as cold as the mountain breeze. In front of him, were three to four wolves and two cubs.
Clyde froze, his eyes wide with fear.
