Turning Point (Part 1)

"Hang in there, Luke." Megan said, looking at the unconscious half-wolf.

The way back to the gym was not difficult. As Megan walked off the sands of the beach, she climbed a small ladder that overlooked the island's mountain range. Following a dirt road, she walked toward the gym. 

As it was already dark, several lamps illuminated the path. They had a strong glow, magical artifacts developed by the academy. The girl was extremely worried about Luke, every two steps she took forward, she stopped, turned to the half-wolf to check if everything was alright, and started walking again.

As she walked, it was possible to see how that dirt road was not used much. Megan almost jumped in fright when she saw a spider walking along the road. The forest was empty, and only the nocturnal birds of the area could be heard. The girl couldn't recognize them by their sound, but sometimes it was possible to hear the distinctive song of a few owls.
