Chapter 1 - Shadowfang and Lunara: The Vow of the Wild

The Hunter and The Hunted

One night **Shadowfang** was very hungry and reached the middle of the forest in search of prey. There, far away, he saw **Lunara**, who was very beautiful, sitting on the top of the mountain and looking at the moon.

Shadow sees her and runs towards her very fast. While running, Shadow thinks, "Why didn't she run away?" and he tries to slow down his speed. But because of running so fast, he collides with Lunara.

Lunara starts falling from the top of the mountain. Shadow was watching her fall, but there was no panic on Lunara's face. She was smiling at Shadow even while falling. Shadow cannot stop himself after seeing her and he also jumps. Both of them collide with a tree and fall on the ground.

Shadow: "Do you want to die?"

Lunara: "Yes, I want to die. You were going to hunt me, right? So why did you save me? I knew you would come and hunt me. That's why I was sitting there."

Shadow: "Looks like it's too early to die."

Lunara: "You know why you saved me? Because you are not as bad as other animals fear you. I knew you couldn't eat me."

Shadow: "You were chasing me?" Lunara: "Yes. Two weeks. I see you every day."

Shadow: "What work do you have?" Lunara: "My daughter has been taken away by some human hunters. She is still very young. Only you can save her."

Shadow says angrily, "Oh, don't do this emotional drama and don't come in front of me again." Saying this, Shadow leaves from there. (Some time passes. Shadow's only thought is whether he did the right thing by refusing her. Then he forgets about it.)

🩸 The Clash of Instincts

One night, while Shadow was hunting, he saw Lunara running away. She was drenched in sweat and was running for a long distance. Shadow runs after her and shouts, **"Stop!"**

At the same time, Shadow sees four people in a human hunter's cart carrying a deer in a cage and heading towards the city at a great speed. Shadow pounces on the hunter and strikes him in the face with his claws, injuring him.

Shadow tackles another hunter, but the driver escapes. Shadow quickly hits his head on the cage and makes it fall. The deer comes down. Shadow starts licking Lunara's wounds.

Meanwhile, the other wolves come there and pounce on the human hunters and start eating them right there.

Lunara gets up and attacks the deer's cage and breaks the lock. As the deer gets free and starts running, **Lunara attacks it and starts eating it.**

Shadow: "If you had to kill it, why did you save it from the hunters?"

Lunara: "I didn't risk my life to save it. I had to save my little one."

Shadow: "If I hadn't come, those hunters would have taken you too."

Lunara: (Smiles) "That's what I wanted. You ruined my whole plan."

Lunara angrily attacks Shadow and shouts, "If you can't save her, then don't! She's my daughter, I'll bring her back myself. I don't need you. Don't get in my way anymore!"

💔 The Final Challenge

Shadow calmly replies, **"Understand me. Going to the human world and rescuing your daughter from there is not an easy task. By the way, what is your daughter's name?"**

Lunara: (Bitter tone) "Nixara."

Shadow: "Both mother and daughter have nice names. Why don't you ask their father for help?"

Lunara: "I don't know him."

Lunara says angrily, **"Listen, tomorrow some more hunters will come to the other side of the forest. They will come to set a trap. I will not attack them, but will follow them to the human world. If you want to come, come."**

Shadow: **"I have no interest in taking a stranger girl and her arrow. Do whatever you want. Live or die."**

Lunara looks at Shadow with tears in her eyes: **"One who loses his mother as soon as he is born and does not have children of his own, can never understand the pain of his child."**

**(Taking a deep breath) "If you want to come, come. Otherwise you may not even see my dead body."** Saying this, Lunara leaves from there.
