While you sleep you dream more. You can see humans bringing all kinds of machinery to desolate the park, and then roots reach out from the ground to entangle them. As the humans begin to chop at the roots a howl comes from the forest. They look around in fear as the howling grows and suddenly large figures burst out of a thick patch of plantlife. They are humanoid in shape but with the features of wolves and they tear the despoilers apart into bloody chunks, howling and growling as they do. You and Allegra emerge from the same bushes and the wolfmen run to you, suddenly they have the demeanor of giant dogs that have just seen their owners. You can see yourself petting one's head, and then you awaken.
At first all you see is tree bark, but then it begins to somehow unravel. You feel your body released from some kind of bonds and finally you're outside of the tree again. You look to your side to see Allegra emerge as well, and you walk over to her. As the two of you lock eyes and lean in to kiss you're interrupted by a loud howl and you look around. You notice it's dark again, you must have been sleeping for quite some time.
"Morgan in my dreams I heard that same howl I think..."
"That Nature wants us to find its' source?" You finish for her. She smiles warmly at you.
"Yes, I do." The two of you follow the howling, if you were still human you would have trouble picking through the dense growth but it almost seems to part away for the both of you. Finally you find the source, another humanoid wolf like your dreams. His hair is brown and coarse and as you approach him a pair of glowing yellow eyes turns to the two of you. There's something strange about him, in some way you feel like he has something in common with you and Allegra.
