It was the middle of spring , Arthur thought it'd be another classic day for him but he was wrong. He'd just arrived home , he went out in town to purchase a couple of things . While he was taking of his boots , he couldn't stop thinking how weird his day had been , the streets had been awfully empty and quiet , it was like the town had been abandoned . After removing his boots , he fell back onto the sofa and let out a heavy sigh before picking up a bag full of objects he purchased today , he pulls out a newspaper out from his bag and starts to have a read of it . . .

'Citizens have reported seeing a shadow of a wolf at night , there has also been a few other reports about family members and crops going missing , this issue can lead to food problems and starvation in the future. Some are claiming that this could be the mysterious shadow's doing , all citizens are now warned about this figure which is now a threat to our lives'

'A wolf?' Arthur thought , he then lets out another heavy sigh , throwing the newspaper to the side . After staring into space for a little while , he rises up from the sofa and stretches his arms . He has work to do , so he starts making his way to the back of the cottage to a storage room where he creates wine for himself.

After about 10 minutes , he was still occupied with crushing grapes to make wine , he wipes the sweat off his forehead and opens the window to allow some fresh air inside the small room . While enjoying the cool breeze against his sweaty form , he suddenly heard the sound of bushes rustling from outside . He didn't think much of it since it could be an animal , but that's when he heard the sound of glass smashing , that caught his attention. He looks out the window and he spots a dark figure in the distance , he seems to have pointy ears and .. a long ponytail ..

Arthur's eyes widen in shock , 'could it be the wolf—?' He thought . He then rushes to the hallway to grab an axe that was laying beside the wooden  , front door .

Slowly and cautiously , he opens the front door before rushing outside into the cool night .

"Who's there!" He shouts , raising the axe , prepared to attack the intruder.

no one responded . Arthur observes his surroundings one more time before facepalming himself and slowly lowering the axe , he was starting to think that he hallucinating and hearing things . But that's when ..

BASHH !! (epic sound effect 🥵)

Arthur collapses onto the ground , blood gushing out the back of his head . Before fully passing out , he heard the sound of metal falling onto the ground and saw red , shiny hair dancing with the wind . That's when , his vision goes black and he closes his eyes.
