Jungle's Ballad

Welcome to the Jungle

A hushed quiet. The sun dips closer to the horizon. Fastening your pace, your eyes seek shelter. To be alone in the rainforest is dauntless, to be alone in the rainforest at night is a death sentence. Just as the sun kisses the horizon, you discover sanctuary in a relatively surprising location. Behind a giant waterfall, there is a large cavern. Big enough to house a pack – the surprised yip of a young pup pierces your ears, & you realize all to late; this cavern is indeed big enough to house a pack. Their eyes bore into you, but your attention is drawn to a particular figure. A mostly white wolf steps into the center of the cavern, glowing from the light piercing through the falls. Slender, & regal.
"Who are you?"
A moment's hesitation to long.
"He asked you a question, Stranger."
A gigantic, mottled wolf blocks your only way out, & a second glance is required to confirm you are looking at wolf, not bear. Broken chain hangs from his neck; a symbol of a human's lackluster attempt to tame the beast. But it's the glistening teeth that are currently on display that truly grabs your attention. Slowly, wary eyes trail back to the white wolf, who is still awaiting your response.
So stranger, what will your answer be?
Welcome to the Jungle's Ballad. Care for a dance?

The Jungle's Ballad welcomes you, Stranger, albeit, mildly with caution. Enjoy your stay. For reference, the white wolf is Wren & the mottled wolf mentioned is Barren.
