Meeting With the Boy
The next day, Paul was standing in an open area of the forest where he had previously talked with the boy. He was slightly nervous, hoping that the boy didn't lie to him and that what he told him was correct.
He had arrived slightly early, but after waiting for about 20 minutes, there was still no sign of the boy arriving, even Wolf and the others who were in the trees some 100 meters away from Paul were starting to believe that the boy would never show up, that what he told Paul yesterday was a lie and that the people from the city were the ones that would arrive here.
But even that made no sense, if they wanted to attack Paul, it was highly likely that they would have arrived early and would set up a trap for him, and yet, nobody was present.
As a couple more minutes passed, just as Paul was about to leave, they all heard the sounds of leaves rustling. After a couple of seconds, the body arrived.
