The Wanderer and the Wolves

The Wanderer enters an ancient forest, knowing it is guarded by wolves said to be spirits of the wilderness. When confronted by the pack, he demonstrates respect and humility, passing their silent test. The white wolf, the leader of the pack, acknowledges his sincerity, allowing the Wanderer safe passage through the woods. The wolves guide him until dawn, parting ways at the forest's edge, leaving the Wanderer blessed and emboldened to face the rest of his journey, forever connected to the wild's spirit.
