They awoke next morning early and looked around fearfully. What had the Wolves been up to in the night?
They discovered their answer in the beheaded body of dwancing spawn of fundin. Nari screamed and threw herself upon the body.
"No no no!" she cried. "No! O dwancing, my sister!"
"But," they all muttered. "Shouldn't she be mourning her brother, Eomi?"
But no, Nari kept cradling the headless body of dwancing, and sobbing. Suddenly, she stood up.
"Without my sister," she said. "What else is there?" She drew her axe out of her belt, and threw herself onto it. They all jumped too late to save her, and she smiled as she drew her last breath.
"Drat it all," muttered Valier the Grey. "Now we've lost our decidedly sherriff-like twins. We must do something about catching a wolf."
They buried dwancing and Nari under the same cairn, and started deliberating.
