Chapter 124: A Shadow

"A legend..." Adrik repeated it to himself, and his face crinkled a bit in thought. "What has she told you about this forest?" He asked, and Leia turned her head to stare at him. "Well... she said that, um, I don't know... that many creatures live in this forest and that any human that goes in never comes out alive, which is why humans have never dared to come here for ages." 

"I see..." Adrik slightly nodded and took a deep breath. "What kind of creatures did she mention?"

"Uh, well, Faes, Elves, Demons, Vampires, Mermaids, and werewolves, just like you. You know, I found it superstitious and funny then, but thinking about it now, I kind of have a feeling she might be telling the truth. I mean, you're a werewolf and she did mention your kind, so-"

"We have arrived," Adrik whispered to her, and she swallowed the rest of her words.
