[Last time...]
“Teel me Lad…” Hack continued closing the distance between them a bit, “What’s yer name?!”
After three very deep breaths, the man looked him straight in the eyes and said, “OMER!”

[In the forest…along the Niagara]
“Wolves!” Shouted Standing Officer Lupega as he quickly bent down and grabbed a burning stick out of the campfire.
“What do we do?!” Yelled half yelled, half screamed as she cowered behind him.
“Movement and more movement, that's great! I am not afraid!” He answered as he struck out at the snarling wolf with a fiery swipe of his stick.
Suddenly two more wolves emerged from the brush and formed a half circle around them!
“We must move back Leyla, back towards the river!” Lupega shouted as he swung the burning stick to the right and the left!
But soon more wolves emerged from the bushes from the north!
“Lupega, we cannot fight five!” Leyla yelled as she shuffled backwards to the water’s edge.
‘Problems on board, both on the ship and in nature! I hope I can overcome this problem!’ °°°°° He thought to himself as he slowly retreated to the river behind her.
Suddenly, what seemed to be the leader of the pack lunged forward and slashed Lupega’s calf in a lightning-fast attack!
He cried out in pain as he smashed the fiery stick over the animal’s head, driving it back for a moment, “Leyla, can you swim?!”
“I cannot!” She cried out in terror.
“Then it is a good time to learn!” Lupega shouted as he turned and shoved her into the river current and then dove in behind her!
