In the mountain ranges of Switzerland lays a small village. This small town used to be a thriving community till the first world war came around. Hundreds of the men in the village had signed up to join the Switzerland army but after the war happened, only a handful of the men have came back. After the war the village had turned gloomy and depressed as they morn the lost ones from the war. However, a few years after the war ended, people started to move on from their lost ones and the vibe of the community started to go back to normal. Nowadays most of the men that lived in the village goes to the pub during the nights to eat, drink. Today wasn't different than any other day here in the small village as a certain wolf named Northy started to wake up from his previous night out at the pub. Northy soon woke up from his small straw bed and he sit up and stretches out and yawns. He accidentally hits his paws against the side of the bedroom walls while stretching out "Ow! Dammit every time!" Northy grumbles a little and he gets out of bed and he walks out of his bedroom, into the kitchen so that he can wash his face to help wake him up more.
The house that Northy lives in was built when his parents had moved into the village around 40 years ago. His house was starting to crumble with each passing day as the wood started to rot away and was damaged from some weather events. After Northy finished washing his face, he gets a towel and he dries off and then looks at his wardrobe in the living room. "hmm, maybe tomorrow I should just pack up and leave this place and try to find a better life than this" Northy walks over to his wardrobe and he opens it. at the bottom was his dad's hiking boots along with his hiking bag as it was left untouched after all those years. Before the war, Northy was happily living with his parents as he was a young teenager at the time. He and his dad used to do a lot of hiking as his dad was a big fan of the outdoors. Sadly, when the war happened, both his dad and mother went off to join the army and before they left, his dad promised him that he'll return, and they'll do a big hike around Switzerland as it was Northy's dream to do it with his dad. But his parents had died in the war and left Northy alone and he had to live by himself during the years without his parents.
Northy grabs his dad's boots and hiking bag and placed them on the floor, Northy also grabs some of his hiking clothes which was only shorts and a t-shirt. He placed his clothes on top of the boots and bag and looks at the time, it was already late, and it was getting dark outside. "Shit, I really must've had a big sleep in today. Well I should spend the last of my money on a good meal and some drinks before I go." Northy goes back into his bedroom and he gets the last of his money and counts them before him going outside and walks to the pub. Northy soon arrives at the pub and enters the building, smelling the air of freshly cooked food and beer. Northy makes his way over to the bartender and he hands him the rest of the money. "one steak please and 3 beers, keep the change" The bartender nods and he takes Northy's money and pours Northy a beer and hands it to him before the bartender going to the kitchen to order Northy's steak. Northy looks around to see who's at the pub. As Northy sees familiar faces around the pub, Northy sees a new person sitting at the fireplace drinking their beer and watching the embers of the flame travel up through the fireplace. Northy looks back at his drink and shrugs his shoulders before he starts to drink away at his beer. After Northy finishes his first beer, the bartender took his glass and fills up back up. "So Northy, what makes you buy more drinks today than the usual 1?" the bartender says as he hands Northy back his freshly filled glass. "well I made up my mind and I'm gonna leave this village tomorrow and explore the mountains and try to live a better life somewhere else than here." He nods and he goes back to the kitchen and he comes back with Northy's steak. "well I'll tell ya what, you can drink as many as you want tonight, as a thank you gift for being a loyal customer here to the pub." He says and Northy smiles as he soon starts to eat his steak. It took Northy around 10 minutes to consume his steak along with another one of his beer, the bartender took away his plate to the kitchen and refills Northy's empty glass. Northy looks back to the new person and there was a small group that have gathered around them. So Northy picked up his beer and he walked towards the new person and he sat down on the table that they're at along with the others. The new face was an old small sized cat that was old and dirty. "I'm telling you guys, there's a dragon in the mountains nearby. If you don't believe me than you can go out there yourselves and see" The small group that had gathered around the old cat then soon departed from that table to the bartender to order some drinks. "A dragon in the mountains you say. have you seen it with your own eyes?" Northy asks the old cat while taking sips of his beer. The cat nods and moves a little closer to Northy. "yes, I have. It was around the forest area at the base of the mountains yesterday. I was just cooking some dinner and I was in my tent rolling out my sleeping bag and when I looked outside. I saw the dragon. It was a medium size navy grayish dragon sniffing around at my dinner I was cooking. I had to stay inside the tent as by the size of the dragon, it looks like it could swallow me whole. But it was just sniffing my dinner and luckily it didn't see me in my tent and just walked away up the mountain where I presume where a cave is." Northy nods and he soon finishes his beer but leaves it on the table and a waiter grabs it to refill it. "Right, and where was this dragon sighting?" Northy asks and soon his beer comes back onto the table to him. "Well it was only east of here on the edge of the woods about a half a day's hike from here." Northy nods and he starts to drink away at his beer while listening to the old cat. "huh, that's where I'm heading to tomorrow. What's the terrain like over there?" The old cat's eyes widen a little as he stares at Northy "wait really? Oh. Well uh the terrain over there is a little rocky at the base of the mountains. But the forest is just some small hills and rivers, nothing like a young wolf like yourself can't handle." The old cat said as he waves over at a waiter to order another drink as his glass was empty. "Oh right then, well I was just planning on going alongside the mountains but yeah I'll go through the forest if it's easy to move along." Northy soon swallows down the last of his beer and he looks over at the time. The time was currently 9:58 pm and more people enter the pub as it was reaching peak hours "just when you see the dragon, make sure that you keep yourself safe from it as I have no idea whether it's a good dragon or not." Northy nods and he gets up and says his goodbye to the old cat and he makes his way over to the bartender and orders one last drink for the night. A couple of hours have passed and now its midnight and Northy exits the pub and he makes his way over to his house one last time. He stumbles his way inside and he makes his way over to his bed then he lays down and quickly falls asleep on his straw bed.
