It has one copper coloured eye and one blue eye, the mythical first SlenderWolf. None of the children has ever seen a wolf, let alone the mythical SlenderWolf, although the stories are told in the picture books they have at school.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the inspiration for the pictures on the walls of the Coliseum comes from books. Sometimes the children can go out into the countryside for proper organised days out, but spotting wildlife isn\u2019t easy. The nearest they\u2019ve been to a real wolf is the grubby old wolfskin that Benet wears.<\/p>\n<p>On her own in the art room, Hayley is engrossed with her work, and at first she doesn\u2019t realise that she\u2019s no longer alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t invade her personal space,\u201d says AuntSylvie as they quietly approach Hayley\u2019s table.<\/p>\n<p>Hayley has heard them and knows that they\u2019re there, but they don\u2019t know that she knows! She\u2019s in the middle of some beautiful artistic creation.<\/p>\n<p>Among the various bathtub drawings spread across the table, some more complete than others, Hayley is now working on the outline of a large warship. She\u2019s carefully using the flat edge of the lead of her pencil to lightly sketch the form of the sails of the mizzenmast. The ship is travelling away from the observer, the mainmast and the foremast are currently no more than fine pencil lines awaiting completion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the poop deck stands out clearly and the stern of the ship is very detailed. Below the poop deck the captain\u2019s cabin has been drawn carefully. The window frames are formed of ornate spiralling wooden posts encasing elaborate \u201cchocolate block\u201d arrangements of panes of glass.<\/p>\n<p>The windows of the cabins on each side of the captain\u2019s quarters have also been completed with meticulous detail. The drawing resembles the newly launched ship <em>The<\/em> <em>Vorpal Sword<\/em>. Equally, it could be <em>The Regal Shield<\/em>, another Corvette class man-o-war.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/05\/30\/chapter-19-innovative-technology145\/\">Previous<\/a> &#8211; Book1 Page146 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/06\/01\/chapter-19-innovative-technology147\/\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous &#8211; Book1 Page146 \u2013 Next But Walker is already transfixed by the next picture on the wall, a detailed watercolour painting of a wolf\u2019s face.
