Eventually, he got closer and closer to the valley, and to his surprise, the magnetic effect that usually surrounded the valley was already gone.
Weird? It was then Sole Wolf noticed someone standing at the edge of the valley, looking around to see if the coast was clear. Obviously, the guy was up to no good. “Who goes there?” Sole Wolf tensed up.
The guy noticed him as well, and he growled, “And who are you?”
Sole Wolf blurted, “I'm your daddy, b*tch.”
“Insolence!” the guy roared. “I'm Killer Wolf, General of Cosmopolis! How dare you insult me, you cur?”
Holy sh*t! Sole Wolf leaped up. “Killer Wolf, what are you doing here? What the hell are you doing in this place?”
Killer Wolf was surprised to see Sole Wolf as well. “Sole Wolf? That's my line, you b*stard.”
“I-I...” Sole Wolf stammered, then he smacked his head. “I'm here for some fresh air. It's been stuffy for a while now, so I thought I should go around and let off some steam.”
Killer Wolf nodded. “I see. So that's why you're here.”
“And why are you here then, Killer Wolf?”
“Same reason as you. Here for some fresh air.”
“Great minds think alike, eh?”
Yeah, f*ck that. This whole damn place reeks of death, and its air is the worst in Eurasia. Nobody's gonna be here for some fresh air. Liar.
Right then, they realized that someone was creeping closer to them. Sole Wolf noticed it first, so he barked, “Who goes there? Show yourself! This place is off-limits!”
“Hold it, guys. It's me.” That voice belonged to Tyler.
Tyler? And what is he doing here?
Tyler came out of the mist and looked at them curiously. “What brings you two here?”
“Um...” Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf coughed awkwardly. “We're here for some fresh air.”
“Really now?” Tyler didn't believe them one bit.
The both of them asked him, “Let's not talk about us. What about you? What brings you here?”
“Well, um...” Tyler stammered. “I'm here for some fresh air as well.”
Well, that's a coincidence. Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf smiled. “Wanna join us?”
“Sure.” Tyler nodded. “I can join you guys.”
After that, two more guests arrived, and they were Alfred and Nameless.
Of course, the reason they came to the valley was so they could “get some fresh air.”
Everyone looked at each other and started chatting aimlessly.
“Honestly, the air here is really fresh.”
“Yeah. This is the first time I've tasted air this fresh.”
Tyler started coughing.
“What's wrong, Tyler? Can't get used to the air?”
“Don't get me wrong, guys. The air here has a lot of oxygen. Caught me by surprise.”
Finally, Sole Wolf couldn't take it anymore, so he said, “All right, stop the bullsh*t. Let's get to business. I'm here to check out this place. You guys coming with me?”
“Obviously,” everyone answered without any hesitation. Checking out what was inside the valley was what they had in mind after all.
Just when Sole Wolf was about to go down, Tyler stopped him, “Hold it. Something's wrong.”
“What is it?”
Everyone tensed up and got ready for battle.
Tyler pointed at the mist. “There's someone there.”
