I followed Arthur deeper and deeper into the forest, and everytime I asked him where we were going, he refused to tell me. At one point, I picked him up and turned around to go back, but then he began barking rather loudly, so I put him back down. He ran to a tree, stopped, and told me to go behind it. I followed his instructions and found an old man surrounded by wolves with a giant boulder to his back.
I ran between the man and the wolves without thinking and tried to protect him from a pending attack. They suddenly parted and made way for a huge wolf, who immediately jumped to attack me. I closed my eyes and held my hand out, and when I opened them, the wolf was against a tree. The others must've gotten angry at me, since they also turned to attack me. The old man then pulled me behind him and raised his hand.
When he did, the wolves whined and whimpered before retreating. Arthur then came out of a bush and nuzzled the old man. When I asked him who he was, he told me he was his master, so I offered shelter at our camp.
George yelled at me for leaving and bringing a stranger with me at that. He then turned to the old man with a sword drawn and asked for his name. He replied with, "Merlin."
