The friends the son of Earl Hjalte, the slave girl Kuska and the turning prisoner Rurik hide in a clearing behind the bushes at the cliff. They are hungry because they have not been fed for several days. The fire in their bonfire crackles and a lovely scent spreads from the farm hen they just caught. The wolf is pouring into the forest. They usually only hear it at night - not during the day like now. Maybe it's hungry too? Wheels tie their fists and Rurik pulls his ax out of the belt while Kuska calms his falcon Lynvinge over the plumage. The wolf comes to them?
