Sylvia's POV:

The following morning, just as the sun began to climb in the horizon, Rufus and I set off for the forbidden forest.

I followed him carefully, medical kit in tow. Rufus' guards were also there in the shadows, where we couldn't see.

We had wanted to take a doctor with us, but when the doctor found out where we were going, he fainted on the spot. Eventually, Rufus convinced me to let go of the idea that we were going to bring that poor doctor.

We didn't stop until we reached the edge of the forbidden forest. Rufus turned to me, straightened my collar, and put a woolen hat on my head snugly. "Don't leave my side. Just follow my lead. If we can't find the grey wolf, then we'll have to leave immediately."

"Okay." I nodded, slipping my hand into his. "Don't worry. I don't plan on exploringby myself."

Rufus smiled slightly, then together, we entered the forbidden forest.

Not long after, we were met with a group of around a dozen wild wolves.
