The trailhead to the forest is a dirt trail, dusty as it has not rained in a while. The overhang of the trees is luscious and green with only patches of sunlight beaming through the dense canopy. There are many large trees, some with arrows still stuck in their trunks. The trail is treacherous as it leads through the densest part of the forest, through a stream and to a well-hidden castle. Once inside the forest, the shade and canopy has provided plenty of opportunities for foliage to grow making it harder to follow.

I am a knight who has taken a solemn oath to protect the royals. My family is of noble blood and has always been charged with caring for the royalty of the kingdom. I take pride in being a knight and the honor it brings my bloodline.
Hello, I am out scouting around the castle to make sure there are no sneaky spies lurking about. Would you like to join me? Absolutely, I have been travelling without my pack for months. They left when I hurt my paw down by the creek. I will let the other knights and guards know that you are not a threat. You can tag along with me if you want but we may have to get you a coller so people know that you will not try to eat them. I'd prefer an orange collar. I would like to be seen by hunters. The last thing I need is an arrow in my hind leg! Yeah, that collar might make you easy to see for some bullies! I will make sure that does not happen as long as you are with me you will be safe. Maybe later you can assist me in a bore hunt. I love to boar hunt! Great knight, do you think the king would ever allow me into his castle? I've been here for months curious as to how it looks inside. Well, You will need a bath for sure and I think I see a bit of mange on your back. I will have the local animal doc take a look at you to make sure you are healthy. Thank you! I didn't know they made animal doctors! Maybe he can check out my paw it still hurts. Oh yes! Of coarse! I forgot about your paw. You carry it well. You must be a very strong wolf. I'm surprised you were not alpha. I was alpha. The day I hurt my paw I was attacked  by my pack nemesis, he overtook me and  took my place. I see. I'm sorry, but now you can have a new kind of life here. You are very curious and brave. I will show you many wonders and we will have many adventures. I appreciate your kindness knight!
