By the time he reached the peak, he was very tired and hungry. As he went near it, the dim light became brighter. He soon found that it was a cave which was guarded with a heavy wooden door. Thick bushes and some fallen rocks on the side of the entrance obscured the door. Ivy wound around the cave and hid the entrance. Through fissures, he could hear water running somewhere beside the cave. Perhaps the water was feeding the springs in the forest he had just left behind. The cave was looking like a travelers inn.
He shape shifted back into a human and knocked on the door. A few minutes later, a werewolf opened the door. It was an old werewolf in front of him. He was not in his human form. When he saw Ed, he growled.
"What do you want?" asked the old werewolf.
"I am a traveler going north and I was looking for a place to stay. When I saw the lights coming from your cave, I turned towards this side. Do you have any place to stay?" asked Ed.
