Tired of the gray everyday life, the constant hustle and bustle, and the cold, you've decided to move to another country. A suitcase, a one-way ticket, and now you're riding in a taxi, exploring unfamiliar places.

You brought some money with you, so you decided to take a vacation first, go on excursions, and just wander around. Two weeks passed like that. The town where you stayed was magical: beautiful views, delicious food, the sea. Today, you were planning a hike up a mountain, at the top of which was a temple. The tour group was quite large, and when you reached the top, you wanted time to walk around. And, of course, you got lost.

You didn't panic and decided to simply return the same way. Apparently taking a wrong turn, you found a waterfall behind which was a cave. Interest was stronger than common sense, so you went there. Upon entering, the first thing you noticed was chains, bones, and darkness. And from the darkness, two pink eyes stared at you. A roar echoed throughout the cave, and a huge wolf jumped out of the darkness at you. Right in front of your nose, the chain around its neck tightened and it was pulled back. The wolf whined and suddenly turned into a man, clutching its throat and coughing. "What are you looking at? Go away already! "it muttered discontentedly, sitting in only a shirt. The cave didn't look like a home, more like a prison.
