As Stary observes the members of the group, he notices that they all have tribal markings on their bodies, some paintings and sacred runic symbols that represent their identity. Each wolf and she-wolf has a specific role within the group, either as skilled hunters, others seem to have more armor, while others don't even have weapons,

Stary decides it's time to talk to them, understand their intentions and explain his presence in that unknown forest, he struggles to speak even with the rope still in his mouth.

“Please let me go hmm,” he begs in a hushed voice. "I'm not a threat, I just woke up in this place. hmmm I can explain..."

Nyla is the first to notice that Stary has woken up, no longer carrying him, she is still walking beside him with the spear in her hands, guarding him, shouting to the group,

“Hey little fox, are you awake?” She speaks pointing the spear closer,

Unexpectedly another much taller wolf like shadow comes from behind Nyla, slapping her on the back of the head in a rude manner I would say,

"Really? Stop calling him a little fox, or you won't go on patrols with an agent anymore", the wolf, clearly being his superior, says,

Stary observes the interaction between Nyla and the tallest wolf, noting the power dynamics within the group. He notices that Nyla, despite being outgoing and playful, seems to receive little consideration from the other members of the tribe. His blue eyes, full of life, show a mixture of frustration and determination, he may well use this to his advantage in the future,

Stary seeing this takes the opportunity to try to communicate with her. Even with the rope still in his mouth, he gestures with his eyes towards Nyla, trying to show that he wants to talk to her,

Nyla, noticing Stary's interest, steps forward, momentarily ignoring the taller wolf's orders. She smiles at Stary, an expression that seems to show relief at seeing something new.

"Hi, sorry for calling you a little fox," Nyla says in a lower tone of voice, momentarily ignoring the consequences of her actions.

Stary observes the confidence shining in Nyla, feeling a connection with her own struggle for acceptance and recognition, however from this Stary begins to think of a way to let go, analyzing a possible escape route, or trying to predict her future, where Is he being taken?,

As Stary thinks, other members of the group begin to whisper among themselves. A wolf with dark and imposing fur, with yellowish eyes, decides to break the silence and address Nyla,

"What are you doing, Nyla? You know very well that you must follow orders, we don't know, this guy could be with humans, or worse with evil spirits, we are not here to play games Nyla", says the wolf of severe form,

Nyla says softly, "ok! I'm still going to future escorts, right?"

The wolf simply ignores her, turning his attention to the front of the group, walking to talk to the leader,

Stary watches the group interact, realizing that despite their differences and banter, they form a strong unit. There is a sense of camaraderie and loyalty between them,

However, Stary looking down sees a glimpse of something very strange, something that definitely shouldn't be there, a piece of metal, something like scrap metal, just lying in the middle of the road that the group was passing by carrying it, how did they not notice? until that moment Stary thought that, given the ancient weapons, and the tribal way of his pursuers, he swore that this planet would be very technologically backward,

But was there hope of building his ship? and another, if the planet already had the knowledge to manufacture things with metal, why do they still use bows and arrows and wooden spears? Questions still unanswered?

Looking around at the forest, lost in attempts to create plans to get out of his current situation, Stary begins to focus his vision between the trees, it seems that his senses have returned, it really was a sleeping powder, luckily it was poorly done, the effect ended not lasting as long as the wolves wanted,

“Phew” Stary says softly

After an hour of walking, the forest around it still remains night, probably early in the morning, everything suddenly seems so quiet, all the animals seem to have slept, the wind has stopped, and nothing can be heard in the forest, just absolute silence,

As the surrounding forest remains profoundly silent, a mysterious atmosphere surrounds the group. Stary focuses his vision between the trees, trying to identify any sign of opportunity, or a possible escape route. Their keen senses pick up small movements in the shadows, as if a giant rock were moving,

A tall shadow, big enough to cover almost half of one of the trees, when Stary looks at it, he swears he saw the object move, but at the end, his vision can't focus completely, it should just be a rock,

Stary then turns his eyes to Nyla, only to find her looking directly at him,

“Hi” Stary says muffled because of the rope,

“Hi” Nyla says,

“Don’t even think about running away, okay” Nyla says, letting out a simple smile at the end,

“Hmm” Stary rolls her eyes,

Looking back at the forest passing by his side, only to see yet another strange phenomenon happening in his day, as if the temple with the lack of memory wasn't enough, and the spirit with the wolves, now there's a stone following the group, looking to the side, there is the same stone from moments ago that should have been left behind in the forest. It was there, standing in the distance amidst the trees and night darkness,

Looking closely, this time trying to focus on more details, Stary manages to be much more noticeable, and can quickly spot more details of the shadow, two red eyes staring back at him, as if analyzing his soul, but something more intriguing, following below a row of three other dim blue lights, flash every second,

His eye focuses on the curious shadow, he can see, in the distance, the shadow moving to the side, following the movement of the group, only for a few moments later, while Stary was more focused than ever, following the movements together than he thought. being a stone, there would soon be a lapse that would solve this mystery,

Step after step were heard from the group of wolves walking, it seemed that not one of them had noticed the figure following them, Stary but totally concentrated is rewarded for his attention, still following in his gaze, the shadow falls into a trap of the night

Walking forward a little, the mysterious shadow ends up going to a small, tiny clearing between the trees, where a flash of light from the twin moons that the planet had on the planet passed through, making its shape momentarily revealed to Stary,

When the light revealed itself, Stary saw the truth, it wasn't a shadow!, dark metal plates could be seen, a plate with gears and four metallic legs, they gave the base to what seemed to be some robot or mechanoid, immediately the machine returns to darkness, leaving Stary still processing what he just saw,

Stary is stunned by the revelation of the metallic figure that was following him. Your mind begins to connect the dots, trying to comprehend the presence of this mechanical creature in an environment dominated by tribal wolves,

As the pack of wolves continues to advance, Stary feels a mixture of curiosity and growing apprehension, he can't shake the feeling that something much bigger and more complex is happening than he initially imagined. Could this robot be a local creation? Or would it be a technology brought from elsewhere?

Stary turns to Nyla, her violet eyes full of questions. She seems to have noticed his confused expression, but quickly looks away, pretending nothing happened,

Meanwhile, the group of wolves continues to advance, without seeing the presence of the mechanical creature nearby, Stary decides to remain alert and observe every movement of the metallic shadow, even if it remains hidden in the darkness of the forest,

With each step taken, in the distance the machine seems to get closer and closer to the group, Stary feels a shiver run down her spine, a feeling that the robot's presence is more than a coincidence,

As Stary ponders these questions, a new revelation appears before his eyes, the metallic figure emerges from the shadows again, but this time closer, he can see the intricate details of its gears and the way it moves in a precise and calculated manner. , moreover he sees something that scares him deeply,

Next to the robot, the subtle lunar light, revealed installed on its side, was a machine gun, subtly Stary tries to see more, but the approaching robot returns to the darkness,

Wait a minute, I saw that, what did I see? Stary analyzes quickly, looking at the appearance of the strange weapon, an answer comes to mind, it was a .50 caliber machine gun, 12.7mm ammunition, this would definitely cause a catastrophe, the robot seems to analyze the group of wolves, its sensors probably mapping and recording each participant,

Stary feels a mixture of fear and urgency when he notices the presence of the machine gun on the robot, he knows that a .50 caliber weapon can cause significant damage, he just doesn't know where he knows all this from, the machine can certainly pose a threat deadly to the group of wolves, with his heart racing, he decides to act quickly to warn the wolves about the robotic threat.

Stary starts to shake and try to scream, trying to get the attention of any of them, the wolves look at Stary, his ears pricked up and his eyes showing a mixture of curiosity and distrust, looking at Nyla, he tries to shake his head towards her. the forest, but without success, they just wouldn't trust someone random like him,

The robot got closer and closer to the group, and more and more despair took over Stary, until finally after a few meters, it became impossible for the wolves or any living being, not to hear the different noises that were coming from the forest,

Finally, the group members begin to notice peculiar noises coming from the forest. Their ears perk up, their noses sniff the air, and the tension spreads between them, but too late,

The leader of the group tilts his head towards the forest, picking up the abnormal sounds, his orange eyes shine with a mixture of alertness and distrust, he emits a low growl, signaling to the group that something is not right,

However, before they can react, the robot steps in front of Night and darkness.

Its metallic presence is revealed in the light of the twin moons, as its gears move with precision and agility, the sinister glow in the robot's red eyes reveals its hostile intent, before anyone there can act, who were previously so quiet. which was almost imperceptible, now releases a sharp noise that travels throughout the forest region,

Along its surface, Stary sees several gears in motion, each one fitted with precision to ensure the efficient functioning of the mechanoid, before at night there was not even a sound, now it was filled with a noise similar to that of a clock,

Its body is a marvel of mechanical engineering, with plates of dark, polished metal covered in battle marks and scratches, the intricate details of the gears and joints showing the complexity of its design.

"Demon!" The leader of the wolves shouts,

The robot points its .50 caliber machine gun towards the group of wolves, and a sequence of deafening shots echoes through the forest. Bullets tear through the air, exploding the trees behind creating a pandemonium of wooden splinters,

However, even with their sharp instincts and keen survival skills, the wolves are at a disadvantage in the face of the machine's firepower, some are hit by the bullets, letting out howls of pain and colliding with the ground.

A shot hits the wolf that replaced the leader who was previously carrying Stary, who after the collision, lets go of the support of branches to which Stary was tied,

His vision quickly turns to find Nyla, who was behind him, now next to him, lying on the ground covering her ears to avoid the loud sound of gunshots,

“Hey” Stary shouts as loud as possible to get Nyla's attention, looking to his left, he can see a small hill, which lowered itself next to him, leading to the continuation of the forest,

Quickly Stary rolls, still tied to ropes, down the hill, slamming his back into a tree,

Nyla, seeing her act of cunning, lets her instincts guide her, and follows Stary, throwing herself down with him, the adrenaline doesn't let her think, just in shock at having seen something, which she never expected to see so soon in her life. ,

With a heavy heart and her green eyes full of tears, Nyla helplessly watches her group being targeted by the devastating attack, she feels a mixture of anger, sadness and despair as she sees her companions being slaughtered by the unstoppable bullets,

Upon realizing Stary's cunning in throwing himself down the hill, Nyla knows she needs to act quickly to free him from the ropes that hold him, with trembling hands and frantic movements, she pulls and cuts the ropes with her teeth and claws, freeing him. ,

She even thinks for a moment about trying to go back, go back, be brave and try to fight the creature, but a simple bow and arrow didn't seem capable of defeating the mechanical demon,

Stary, now free, feels a mix of relief and gratitude that Nyla took the initiative to help him, without time for words, they look at each other with determination and decide to run into the forest, seeking shelter and distance from the killer robot,

Nyla leads the way, moving with agility and confidence through the trees, while Stary follows closely behind, using her keen senses to avoid obstacles and find the best path, her nose sniffing the air for imminent danger.
