"Sorry... you're not my target"

Klaus, a mix of relief and confusion washing over him, manages to speak through the pain

"Not your target?"

The man, his demeanor shifting from menacing to remorseful, replies with a hint of regret, "A grave mistake on my part. I was hired to kill someone and that someone is coming here but ....I just got a call saying he's taking another route."

Struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events, still he felt relief as he's not the person that he should kill he looked at him, curiosity lingers in his eyes, Klaus whispers

"It's a good thing the call came in time..."

"Yeah...as an apology of your wounds and...your shirt...here"

He throw a bottle at him as he catch it,it's small and quite thin with a mixture of blue liquid with sparkles in it...it may be small but he knows what is it...

"Healing.... potion?"

It's really an expensive object and quite rare at that, to think this man have something like that

"Yeah drink up"

He says blantly as he looked at the distance then looked back at Klaus who is now drinking,he watches closely to his lips, down to his neck and his ripped shirt where he could see clearly his chest and his toned body

But most of all, he's more focused on staring at his stomach but Klaus is so oblivious of his stares as he only focus on recovering while drinking.



The man, a shadow of his former self, speaks softly

"Forgive me for the pain I've caused. The path ahead is unclear."

He get a card from his pocket and hand over to Klaus

"Call me if you needed anything, your first request will be for free I promise"

He wink as Klaus took the card with only a letter of  D  in it.

And after that he left, before Klaus could say anything he doesn't know what to do now,but decided he should go to his room and rest

But he couldn't help thinking he should be more alert, he's aware there are more people stronger than that man...and they will appear soon...

Klaus braced himself for the next steps in this harrowing ordeal, unsure of what lay ahead in the unforgiving wilderness of the competition grounds.

As he walks between the grass and trees he heard a small snap with a whisper of whimper behind the bushes

He doesn't know what it is,this place is too quiet so he take a step closer towards the bush as he move the leaves in each sides to see what is in it

As he look down and heard more whimper he saw and injured

"Puppy?"

A puppy?in the wild...it could be the little wolf his legs is bleeding, he must have encountered something tragic in there

Klaus should leave,he knows it's dangerous especially if a mother is looking for this pup but...

He can't help it, especially when he love dogs. He sigh as he gently carry the pup, it's body tense up after being held from a stranger, it keeps whimpering yet he leaned to the touch of the man,he really needs help.

"Don't worry pup,I'll take care of you until you are fully healed"

He smiled as he gently cares the head of the puppy while walking towards his room
