But some of the humans rode on the backs of the werewolves, weapons in hand, as though they were allies. I took in a sharp breath when I saw the second panel. The humans became violent. A man stood over one of the wolves with his spear plunged into its chest and his foot on its head, looking victorious. The other wolves scattered and fled. If I closed my eyes for a second, I felt as though I could picture it. The third panel depicted the wolves, walking solemnly through the forest. They seemed to be following some sort of faint light.
