Re: Summoned to the King (main)
"This is the son of my neighbors," Olven says by way of explanation. "Earlier tonight, after we three had left the king's presence, we saw a personally brutalized by a giant wolf-like creature. We hurried forward, but the beast escaped, and we discovered the identity of his victim, this boy's father, my neighbor."
Olven Wolf pauses and sorrowfully looks down at the boy. "When we returned to my home, we knocked on my neighbor's door to inform his wife. There was no response, and finding the door unlocked, we entered the apartment. We found the boy huddled in a bedroom, his mother's corpse badly savaged." Olven chokes. "I've seen my share of blood on the battlefield, but this was a char el house."
