Haunted Wood see no [more] evil

Hope you don't mind a fox joining

As a scream pierced the night, Hiraku woke in fear. He jumped as he panicked, running around to safe his dying brother. "Scratch!" he shouted before coming to his senses. With a bitter growl, he felt stupid and smacked his head against a tree. If only he was, he didn't know, a day faster, he still may be alive.

But the scream attracted his attention, and he started to wander towards it. As he got closer, he heard the muffled sobbing of someone. As he walked around a tree, he immediately recoiled. There was a white wolf, one that he believed plagued him for so long. However, reality settled in as he could smell this wolf. A bit relieved started around the prone figure, scared he may attack, until he noticed a severed eye. It was festering, and oddly reminded him of discovering his brother. With it's condition, it was likely in his head for weeks before he pulled it out. He felt a bit weak at the legs before turning towards the wolf.

Whether or not the wolf noticed, he could barely make out several slash marks across the face. The wolf was blind as far as he could guess, and he had just finished the job. He turned down, as he didn't want to see the empty socket(s) that may present to him. Still, he had to say something. "Um...hi?" He quickly readied himself to jump away. Blind or not, a wolf still had the instinct to turn him into mincemeat.
