  Don't expect much, I'm not a native English speaker so there's probably a lot of grammatical errors

  There was once a boy who lives in a village in the middle of nowhere-or to be more precise, in the middle of a vast forest. The forest is perpetually shrouded in thick fog and the intangible cloud wraps its way around trees, mountain, and valleys evoking an aura of mystery and excitement-or for the villagers of Coldwall, fear of the unknown

  The wilderness has become something to be feared and no one is brave enough to venture far into the forest.

  Why would anyone live in the middle of this desolate and isolated place? No one knows, not even the residents of this village. They themselves wish to explore the world beyond the woods that surround the village, but most had given up on that dream. They didn’t choose to be here, they were simply born here.

  “Whoever is born in Coldwall, dies in Coldwall” as said by the grandfathers of Coldwall to their grandchildren instantly crushing the Childs dream

  Everyone has given up on getting out of this village except for one, Derrick Dempsey, a miserable kid living in this miserable place. What exactly are his motivations? Aside from the obvious that Coldwall is very bleak and there’s hardly anything entertaining or exciting to do, there’s also the fact that everyone here seems to think that he is the son of the Devil.

  Kids call him “Wolf kid” and while the adults look at him with either fear or anger or maybe even disgust

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  When he asked his parents why while crying, the only answer he received was a look of pity and pat on the back from his father and a hug from his mother

  But eventually he learned why, he also learned that they are not his real parents but he abstained from questioning them about this matter. They love him and protected him when the entire world seems to conspire to prevent him from being happy, for him that is enough.

  And the reason why everyone calls him wolf boy or why he receives harsh glares

  It was because he was brought here by a wolf according to everyone. They said he is a demon because he was brought by a wolf, a symbol of evil and a threat to God’s flock

  For these reasons his desire to leave this place only grew until he finally decides to leave. He took with him a sack containing everything he would need to survive the journey and some coins and wrote a note to his mother and father. He quietly left the house, avoiding making any noises to disturb the peaceful slumber of his parents

  Just as he was about to climb the fence that surrounds the village he heard someone, a voice he does not recognize. He turned around and saw a long-bearded man wearing a cloak and a broad hat

  The man gestured for him to come closer, he’s a stranger but he felt that he could trust this man more than anyone in this village except for his mother and father. He doesn't know why but he just felt that this man is someone trustworthy and will not harm him

  “Hey Kid, come here”

  When he was close enough, the man revealed something that is in his hand and showed it to him. The moonlight was bright enough that he could see what is the object dangling from the old man’s hand. It is a necklace with a metal chain and with a pendant that looks like three interlocked triangles

  “Take it; you will need it if you want to survive this journey”

  He took it from his hand and wore it around his neck and asked the man who is already leaving

  “Who are you?”

  The man looked back and smirked

  “When the time is right I will tell you who I am, or perhaps you will discover it by yourself…maybe you will also find out about yourself kid “
