WULFF QUEST 

In the forests of the heart wolves prowl at night: 
feral, famished, and frenzied with an ancient bloodlust, seeking new prey to bite.

Their eyes are glowing embers and teeth  seem like sharp ivory blades.
Sometimes at night you can hear them howling in the moonlight.

Though many try to flee from the beasts within them, 
afraid of the wilderness of their desires, escape is impossible:
those who attempt to flee are swallowed by the shadows of their own nightmares.

Wiser wolf-cubs embrace their own canine nature,
remembering that we are creatures of both darkness and light. 

 
Miok:     What to do with the animal nature inside us? That's a question that everyone 
          attempting to be human must confront.
          
Cantara:  The traditional recipe is to slay the beasts: kill the minotaurs, wolves, and dragons within.
          
Chris:    I'm not sure that's wise. Isn't it better to make peace with them?

Tim:      (sighing) Many people attempt that. If you cannot slay the beasts inside you, 
          then perhaps we should create a protective fence. Learn to be human - not bestial.
