Chapter 60 – Epilogue

The melodious sound of a flute echoed throughout an isolated small mountain.

Surrounded by lush green trees and grass, a boy of thirteen years old was seated on the grass as he leaned against a large rock. Wearing only a pair of shorts made of animal fur, the boy was completely bare-chested!

His fingers rhythmically moved, as the mesmerising sound of the flute resonated in the air. The music was calm and soothing, as it exuded a feeling of both warmth and loneliness.

The long black hair of the boy obscured his entire face, and only his lower jaw was visible as he gently continued to play the flute.

*chirp*

Suddenly a clutter of soft footsteps could be heard in the area, as a series of small animals curiously observed the strange human with their large innocent eyes.

Their tiny ears all perked up as they reveled in the beautiful and enchanting music. They wanted to approach closer to the human to listen better, however, they were still wary of the boy playing the flute.

One of the furry animals in the group, was a wolf pup with pitch-black fur. Its fuzzy fur appeared to be extremely soft, and its twinkling eyes brightly gazed at the mysterious human.

The wolf pup cautiously sniffed the air around the stranger, and sensing that nothing was abnormal, it slowly prowled towards the boy while crouching to the ground.

The other small animals carefully observed the human, and remained on high alert so they could warn their wolf friend to escape if the human tried to attack.

After a few moments, the small wolf pup finally arrived in front of the stranger and curiously tilted its head to look at the boy’s face.

A slight smile slowly formed on the boy’s face, as he noticed the cute antics of the wolf pup. Continuing to play the flute, the boy completely ignored the small beasts surrounding him.

After sniffing the human’s skin, the wolf pup finally felt assured that the stranger was not dangerous and abruptly jumped onto the boy’s lap and blissfully laid down, while closing its eyes and enjoying the melodious music.

Seeing that stranger had no malicious intent and that their wolf friend was safe, the other small animals rushed towards the human and cheerfully played around him.

Baby birds fluttered their wings clumsily as they practiced flying, while the other four-legged creatures playfully wrestled with each other.
