Hugo searched for Rinnie that night, all alone. Even when his body was on fire from fever and even when he could barely breathe, he followed her scent like a mad wolf. He looked for her all night until he collapsed in the middle of the cold.
Yet, he didn't stop.
Even when he had to crawl like a wounded wolf, he kept moving forward. In his mind, if he waste another second, she would get even farther from him. But alas, even if he searched every nook and cranny, there was no trace of her.
He even went to the Tarsa tribe's settlement area. But only a few were left to protect the forest, and for their brothers beyond the border. They didn't know where Rinnie went because she told no one about it.
The longer he searched for her, the slimmer the hope in his heart. But he was determined, not allowing the negativity to cloud that sliver of hope.
He would find her and bring her back.
