As Alex was contemplating his options he heard a growl from behind him. Quickly turning on his heels he saw the two wolves just behind him down the trail. Were they this big before? Sure he was watching them from a distance, but this close they seemed too big to be normal wolves, he guessed each was probably around 200 pounds, and there was something behind their eyes. These weren't dumb animals either. They wanted something from him, and Alex knew horny when he saw it. Even more so when the lead of the two wolves suddenly spoke in a deep, rumbling growl. "Look at this. A little, naked human all alone in the woods.Just waiting for the big bad wolf to come and claim him.." The wolf in the back barked in a way that sounded like a laugh.
Alex stumbled backwards and landed on his ass. From his new vantage point he could see the swollen, red cock hanging beneath the wolf, drooling into the dirt beneath him. Just as the wolf was about to leap an arrow slashed through the wolf's shoulder and embedded itself into the ground. From up in the tree can a deep, but human sounding voice. "That was just to prove I have silver. The next one won't miss."
Three heads, the two wolves and Alex, all looked up into the tree, but Alex couldn't see anything in that leafy canopy. The wolves however growled softly but started to back away, then turned tail and fled. After a moment there was the solid thump of someone landing next to him, and Alex turned and looked at his savior. A human man, muscular, maybe in his mid-twenties, with shaggy blonde hair that fell short of bright green eyes, and a short trimmed blond beard to match, just a bit on the scruffy side. His skin was nicely tanned, which was obvious because the man wasn't actually wearing all that much, a kilt made of leather and fur gave him some modesty and a good pair of boots for walking about the woods, but he wore no shirt, only a leather strap across his chest to keep his quiver in place, exposing his taught six pack and rounded pectorals. Short, but thick blond hair covered much of those pectorals, and grew a in a strip down his stomach, disappearing beneath the kilt. There was the glint of metal at each of the man's nipples, rings pierced through them, two more on each of his ears, and a necklace with a silvery amulet hanging from around his neck.
"Werewolves." The man said flatly, staring off in the direction the wolves fled. "If they had gotten you, you'd have joined their pack." Swapping which hand was holding his bow, the man extended his free hand out to help Alex back to his feet. Alex accepted the help and felt almost like a toy as that muscular arm flexed to bring him to his feet. "So, why is there a naked kid running around the woods?"
"I'm nineteen, I'm not a kid.. and.. I don't know where I am or how I got here.." Alex at first was indignant with the man for calling him a kid, but then the worry which he had been pushing to the back of his mind settled in.
"Only a kid would be stupid enough to come into these woods alone and unarmed." The man replied flatly. "Werewolves, elves, all sorts of fae creatures, goblins, I think there's even a minotaur down from the mountains looking for easy hunting. But you got lucky running into me." The man actually put on a cocky smile. "Stick with me, I'll keep you safe, and the next time I head back into town I'll take you with me. All you have to do is whatever I tell you until then."
"Or I can just follow this sign." Alex said pointing to the tree.
The man nodded his head. "Or you can follow the sign. But it's a three day walk, and you're still completely naked, defenseless, and in a wood full of magical creatures that would love to have their way with you."
"I don't even know your name." Alex protested, trying to find some solution other than possibly making a deal with this weird, but attractive stranger. "Or why you'd offer to help."
"Eli. And let's say I'm curious as to why you're here and where you're from. A few days in my company won't be so bad... so?"
