The day was fairly cold, the wind blowing in his face. It was September and school had started up once again. His fifth grade year had started up. Not only that, but his birthday was only in a few months, not that he'd get anything from his cruel mother or anything, but the concept was nice. He had no homework, as it was one of the first days of school (and his mother was still filling out his registration paperwork).
He was officially bored; how couldn't he be? What was there to do? As he left his school gates, he simply sighed and went on walking to the park, where he would undoubtedly be able to think of something.
He was halfway there, the trees in clear view until he saw something in the distance. Although it was far away, it was large and clearly covered in fur. It has large teeth and walked along with a rather tall and muscular man. As they drew nearer, the boy, Dennis, froze in fear of that vicious-looking creature. The man and beast were now only about 20ft. away.

It was Trent Olnay and his wolf Trinox. As Trent came closer to Dennis, he stopped, the wolf stopping as well. Dennis looked very scared, and Trent didn't blame him; who wouldn't be afraid of a large wolf roaming the sidewalks?
Trent decided to speak. "Hello there." Friendly enough. . .

Still extremely frightened of the large, probably rabid, animal in front of him, he decided to try and speak. He turned his face to meet that other the man's, looking up at him, but his eyes tried to remain fixed on that wolf that was so...suspiciously calm.
Trying to muster up every ounce of calmness in his voice as he could, he spoke, "H-hello, sir." His mustering had obviously failed, as he had stuttered in the first syllable of "Hello". Now, he was not only afraid, but also embarrassed.

Trent smiled and then spoke back:
"No worries. My friend here won't hurt you." Trent said as he looked to his pal, Trinox. "It's nice to meet you." Trent then held his hand out, expecting a hand shake, a high five, or something of the sort.

He wasn't completely sure about this, as the wolf did look fairly malicious, but it was a beautiful creature, nonetheless. He decided to take the man's word for it, extending his hand into the man's, shaking half-heartedly. "N-nice to meet you too, sir," he said, trying to sound as polite and not stuttery as possible, again failing in the second aspect.
Before the handshake was "complete", he saw two things. One was the hilt of something, visible above the man's shoulder. The other was the end of a shaft or scabbard of some sort, past the man's opposite waist, going at the same angle at the hilt. Now, he was a little frightened, as this man had some sort of weapon that Dennis didn't want to find out about first hand, so he withdrew his own from the man's.

Trent then noticed Dennis looking at his katana. He reached behind his back and took it off and placed it on the ground to show that he wasn't going to do anything with it.
"So, what are you up to?" He said.

Although he was still a bit afraid, he was beginning to get comfortable speaking to this stranger. However, when the question was asked, he honestly didn't know what to say. There was no real answer, as he was still thinking about what he would do. "Well...um...I don't know what to do. I was just wondering that." He said, now noticing the katana on the ground right there. "Do you...know how to use that?"

Trent smiled and nodded and then added, "Yes, but I only use it on people who I believe commit evil. You've nothing to worry about."
Then the warrior looked around and turned back to Dennis, "Why not head to the park?"

He was relieved to hear that the man wouldn't use the katana to harm him and just took his word for it. He didn't even know his name and he was already beginning to like him.
'Why not head to the park?'
On hearing this, he was surprised. It was almost as if the man had read his mind. However, he didn't want to lose any respect, if any was gained. "Uh...sure." He said, smiling up to the man's face.

"Great. Want to ride on Trinox, here?" he then looked to his wolf.

Now he was a little weirded out. Ride on that wolf? Now that was unlikely. Who's to say that it could hold his weight. Who's to say that it wouldn't make him lose his balance. As big as the wolf was, how could he trust it? So, he used the plainest answer he could muster while being polite, "No...thanks..."

Trent smiled and nodded, he figured that Dennis would disagree to the proposition.
"Well, the name's Trent. What's yours?"

Although he was unsure of whether to give the man his name or not, he did so anyway. If he didn't kill him, his mom probably would later on down the line. "My name's Dennis. You can call me Dan, though." The last word was a little faded out though, as he was very shy and was unsure of whether he would continue or not. He wait for Trent to head toward the park so he wouldn't have to be the one in front.

"Nice to meet you, Dan." Trent the began to walk and motioned for Dennis to come along with him. Trinox walked to the left of Trent, away from Dennis so that Dennis wouldn't be scared.

Seeing as there was nothing to talk about, Dennis slowly started to follow, until he noticed something. "Be right back!" he said as he ran in the opposie direction of where Trent was, remembering that Trent had left his katana back there on the ground. Picking it up, he began running back to Trent, but couldn't help but think, Why is this thing so heavy?
