Farewell

The half-wolf was extremely surprised by his friend's sudden assertion. Matthew had never given any indication that he was dissatisfied with the pack, at least not until recent events.

"Don't get me wrong, I love you guys and I want more than anything to stay by your side, but I'm too old to live such a complicated life." Matthew pointed out.

"What do you mean?"

"Now, we have a glimmer of peace, but for how long? You're still hated by the demons, Alexis carries two demons up and down, not to mention you enjoyed the life of Adventurer in the Dungeons, which means you'll probably want to go back."

"Matthew..."

"Wait for me to finish, Luke. In a few months, I will turn twenty-six. At that age, usually people are already married, have a house to call their own, or a promising career, but what do I have? A few things, but none of the things I dream of." The brown-haired, gray-haired man reflected as he looked up at the blue sky.
