It hurts... my whole body hurts so bad. Sean! Hang on. But, why can't I move my body?
Lisa slowly opened her eyes and tried to remember what happened. Her head ached and was spinning. She saw herself lying on the floor of a cold and dirty house. But, why? Didn't she fall into the abyss? Is this heaven? While observing the ceiling of the house, she tried to get up.
"Sean ... ouch," she cried, wincing in pain.
Then, she heard someone talking to her, and that person was right beside her.
"You're awake," he said.
Lisa was surprised, she immediately turned to look for the source of the voice. In the dim night, she saw the figure of a shirtless man leaning against the dirty wall of the house. He seemed to be holding his injured arm. Dark red bloodstains appeared to cover almost the entire left arm.
"Who are you? Where is this? Where's my brother?" Lisa asked confused and scared.
“We are at the bottom of the abyss, or rather we are inside an empty, uninhabited house located at the bottom of the abyss. I didn't see anyone but you, and who am I about? I'm just an adventurer, that's all I can tell you,” he replied.
“Then why am I in this house? Ouch." Lisa winced in pain for the umpteenth time as she tried to move her left arm a few centimeters the other way.
"I found you lying unconscious with wounds on your legs and arms, lucky you don't seem to have a concussion, because I can see that your head is not injured and not bleeding," replied the stranger who had to admit he had amazing abdominal muscles, though seen in the dim night.
“Thanks in advance, but why are you here too?” Lisa asked curiously.
"I fell off the cliff over there, a different fall point from you when I was walking down the cliff," said the handsome man.
“Then did you see a brown wolf that fell with me? Is he hurt too?” Lisa asked curiously.
“Sorry, I didn't see a wolf that fell with you. If so, he might have run away. I only found you alone.”
Lisa thought hard enough because she clearly remembers that her body was pushed down a cliff along with a brown wolf. But, why was she the only one found at the bottom of the abyss? Then where is the wolf?
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" asked the handsome man while holding his injured arm.
“Please help me find my brother. Please! A wolf is threatening his life, "said Lisa frantically.
"How do you find your brother? Meanwhile, we are stuck in this old house. We just need to wait for reinforcements to arrive.” Then, the handsome man leaned his body against the wall and took a deep breath.
"What if the wolf eats or hurts him?" Lisa asked frantically.
"The wolf will not eat him, he will only hurt or kill him."
