„ My goodness, Arn! I would have expected you here as the last. You who gets by for months without human society, you here in the bustle of the capital? I am glad to see you. Come, sit down! “, with these words HARUM, the hunter,  pushed ARN to the table.

[Vauban]

„ Tell what leads you here in the town? How long have we seen ourselves any more? Six or seven years? “ „ These are nine years in the number. Also I am glad to see you, HARUM. But, by the Indescribable, I wished, it would be a happier reason. Have you not noted then the signs? Have you forgotten everything what I have taught you once? “

[Vauban]

„ Of which signs do you speak, ARN? “ „You have not spoken with the wolves? They have not reported to you about the oncoming evil? “ „ I have entered the woods already for many years any more, even if I still carry the jerkin of my professional group, . My eyes have become murky and my fingers can stretch the tendon any more before furnace mouth. Now my son is the uppermost hunter in the service of the king. I have spoken for a long time any more with the wolves. “ Tiredly the hunter sat down on a chair.

[Vauban]

„ Thus the last hope dies in me. “, answered the wolf man. „ The wolves have reported to me about menacing evil. I hoped, you could become the advocate. The king gives trust to you. In me they will see only the old odd stranger. “ „ Of What the wolves have informed you? “ „ The pictures have become blurred, however, the Ancient spoke of war. The people who were once friends raise her swords in the fight mutually. Countless ones will die. The villages and fields will be laid waste. A dark shade of misery and grief will cover the land of the people. Brothers will fight in the fire mutually. “

[Vauban]

„ ARN, what have we to do? What do you require from me?“ „ Bring me before the king. Allow to me a conversation with him. Persuade him of my honesty and my person.“ “To bring you before king JURON will succeed me. Of course the king with his family will also come to the tournament. Prince TURID will take part for the first time in the tournament. As a boy I have taught him the horse riding. As far as it was possible, we became friends. I think, a conversation will be possible. But to fulfil your second wish, will become difficult. Let us see what can straighten my word there. “

[Vauban]

„ My friend, this is more than me still dared to hope. I will spend the night in the 'Golden Ox‘. There you will be able to reach me any time. Give me immediately news if you know place and time for the conversation. Nevertheless, maybe everything will turn still to the good. “ With these words ARN reached the door.

[Vauban]

HARUM seized his arm, „ Why do you not remain? Allow to remind us of the good old times. For special guests I have in the cupboard still a noble drop. I think, I will find no better reason to cost him. The king will be only during the day of the tournament in the city. Before this time I will not be able to do anything. “

[Vauban]

ARN agreed. However, already after a short time the good wine with the old hunter showed his effect. HARUMS eyelids became heavy, and slowly his head sank on the table. Quietly the wolf man put down his mug and got up.

[Vauban]

In the door he looked back once again and then left the house of the hunter. Now with big steps he chose the way to the \'Golden Ox\'. In thoughts he went through his words to the king. He had to persuade the king. No mistake might avoid it him.
