However, Oli was pleased to have another peaceful night within a cluster of trees.
The following day went by without any issues whatsoever. There were no fights to be had. No beasts dared to appear and target the team. And the beacon finally seemed to be slightly larger, proving that they were in fact getting closer. This helped everyone relax at night and sleep through the howling winds.
"... Watch out!"
Grrr… Rawr! Rawr!
Fulkar's cry rang out to alert the sleeping team. Paired with the sudden growls, the party rushed to their feet all the faster.
Surrounding them were seven wolves barely visible in the dim light due to their white fur coats. Though Fulkar's shout kept the wolves from immediately pouncing, it wasn't enough to cause the beasts to back away.
"Do you understand us?" Oli asked straight away. "... Either you're ignoring me or you don't care about your lives. Do you understand us!?"
Grrrrrr…
