Cailín paced back and forth nervously, watching for any sign of the Wolves. As the Ranger, it was her task to protect the villagers from wolf attacks. She suddenly heard a loud CRASH from behind her and turned around to see what had happened.

At that moment, two of the wolves sprang out of the shadows on cue. The third one had provided a distraction for the Ranger. Cailín drew her sword to battle them, but the third wolf leaped on her from above, knocking her down.

The wolves, however, decided not to kill her just yet.

"So, she thinks she's a mermaid, huh?" one of them said to the other.

"She'd better hope she actually has gills," the other one said.

With that, the wolves tied her to a large rock and threw her into the sea. As she was not actually a mermaid, she drowned.

In the morning, the villagers gathered in horror to see Cailín's armor and weapons lying on the ground near the cliff with a note from the wolves describing what had transpired and adding that the village was doomed. There would be no more protection from wolf attacks in the Nights to come.
