The darkness—mighty barbarian from the Wild Forest—has no equal in battle. And, like the legendary “neurs” described by Herodotus, he can turn into a wolf. But above all, he knows how to be loyal and keep love—love for which he isn’t afraid to go even to the underworld realm, to certain death. People weave legends about his exploits and his great love for a bewitched beauty. At night he roams in his wolf guise, and by day he lives among people, doomed to eternal life.
