Now the forest cry "mom". As an echo on a cave, the word traveled on all corners of the forest.

- Mom? - Repeated Chirin.

His eyes injected of blood now are relaxing. His fists now are opening. His rage is vanishing, and his deformed face by the madness changed for reflection.

- The powerful lamb has been disarmed for a single sound. - Said a voice on the distance.

- Mom? - Said Chirin again. But nobody answered. He was alone. - Where did they go? Hello? Hey!

He felt intimidated for the lonely. Chirin feels like somebody is watching him and is prepared for combat. But nobody came. Nobody went to attack him.

- I am getting histerical - Chirin said again and this time upset. - Show yourself!

- Mom! - Exclaimed Chirin. - Mom, where are you?

Then he received as answer an howl. He almost died of fear.

- Wou? - Chirin asked to nowhere. - Wolf?

Then he heared a female voice crying for her baby. Then another howl... and then nothing. Chirin totally concerned decided go to investigate. Then he discovered himself crying next to the body of her mother... for later leave the supposed security of the farm to go to the mountains and find the wolf on the mountains claiming vengueance.

Chirin looked the forest. Is not on fire anymore.

- What have I done? - Asked Chirin looking for somebody can answer him, but nodoby was there. - How much damage I caused?

A childish voice responded:

"A lot"...

A hand touched his shoulder...

Chirin woke up? ...
