Mhm...A werewolf at dawn. I suppose that's our answer.

Dawn is when it returns to human form, isn't it? Perhaps . . . a hero was called upon to rescue an isolated village from the threat of a werewolf and so this hero lured the werewolf out. A chase ensued, the hero ran from the werewolf to draw it away, and at dawn it returned to its human form so the hero could reason with it.

[nods, considering...]

It's also possible that the werewolf was never a threat to begin with. It may have simply had the desire to protect the village, but when the people saw it on patrol outside they gave into panic...

The werewolf would be easy to reason with, if that was the case.

If that were the case the werewolf would likely think the hero a threat. Though if their desires resided in the same place I'm sure they would be able to find a resolution without issue.

A happy ending, with a moral about the folly of making assumptions.

It'll be a good story.

Yes, I think it will.

. . .

It could also be that the werewolf and hero discover that they are siblings, who had lost each other when they were young. It would give our story a little more...emotional pull.

[nods]

Yes, I think that would work well.

And together, they strive to protect their village -- their new home -- from anything that would threaten it.

Since each of them has a power that the other does not, they can support each other in their endeavor, making the village a safer place for those who live there.

Precisely.

I suppose we just need to find a use for the word 'run', but that should be easy enough.

We can begin our ending after they have been running through a forest before dawn?

That sounds all right. The werewolf chased the hero into the isolated village before the sun began to rise.

Wouldn't it be best for them to move away from the village to spare the villagers?

The hero may need backup, in case the werewolf was too much...The villagers that couldn't fight would be safe within their homes, and those that could would be ready to strike.
