Oh,

Indeed,

just

We

00:04:59,250 --> 00:04:59,519:
tough, 

702
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:00,329:
I learned, 

703
00:05:00,329 --> 00:05:00,509:
but 

704
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:00,629:
they 

705
00:05:00,629 --> 00:05:00,750:
were

00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:01,319:

711
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:03,681:
I asked if they

thought 

713
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:04,410:

maybe to

what

They

foxes 

1208
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:24,870:
continued 

1209
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:25,019:

1210
00:08:25,019 --> 00:08:26,519:

conversation 

1212
00:08:27,361 --> 00:08:27,750:
stopped 

1213
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:28,259:
entirely 

1214
00:08:28,259 --> 00:08:28,439:
when 

1215
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:28,680:
two 

1216
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:28,980:

foxes 

1218
00:08:29,459 --> 00:08:29,610:
with 

1219
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:30,060:
heavily 

1220
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:30,420:
greying 

1221
00:08:30,420 --> 00:08:30,779:
fur 

1222
00:08:30,779 --> 00:08:31,920:
entered. 

1223
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,023:
They 

1224
00:08:32,023 --> 00:08:32,129:
were 

1225
00:08:32,129 --> 00:08:32,460:
followed 

1226
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:32,580:

1227
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:32,850:
another

1229
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:33,840:
the 

1230
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,169:
biggest 

1231
00:08:34,169 --> 00:08:34,379:
I had seen 

1232
00:08:34,379 --> 00:08:34,590:
in 

1233
00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:34,740:

00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:35,490:
village, 

1235
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:35,940:
and almost 

1236
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:36,029:
as 

1237
00:08:36,029 --> 00:08:36,210:
big 

1238
00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:36,299:

1239
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:37,470:
me. 

1240
00:08:37,470 --> 00:08:37,769:
He wore a

cloak, 

1244
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,149:
and he 

1245
00:08:39,149 --> 00:08:39,389:
carried 

1246
00:08:39,389 --> 00:08:39,450:

00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:40,889:

1252
00:08:40,889 --> 00:08:41,009:

oak. 

1256
00:08:42,809 --> 00:08:42,929:
He 

1257
00:08:42,929 --> 00:08:43,320:
stopped 

1258
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:43,379:

1280
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:53,039:
For 

1281
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:53,490:
countless 

1282
00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:54,000:
seasons, 

1283
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,089:
the 

1284
00:08:54,089 --> 00:08:54,509:

and

wolf. 

1293
00:08:57,629 --> 00:08:58,320:
Transgressions 

1294
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,379:
were 

1295
00:08:58,379 --> 00:08:58,590:
not 

1296
00:08:58,590 --> 00:08:58,980:
unheard 

1297
00:08:58,980 --> 00:08:59,159:
of, 

1298
00:08:59,159 --> 00:08:59,370:
but 

1299
00:08:59,370 --> 00:08:59,490:
they 

1300
00:08:59,490 --> 00:08:59,669:
were 

1301
00:08:59,669 --> 00:09:00,870:
rare. 

1302
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:01,139:
In 

1303
00:09:01,139 --> 00:09:01,559:
recent 

1304
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:01,950:
months, 

1305
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:02,370:
however, 

1306
00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:02,519:
the 

1307
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:02,940:
wolves 

1308
00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:03,179:
have 

1309
00:09:03,179 --> 00:09:03,509:
taken 

1310
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:03,629:
it 

1311
00:09:03,629 --> 00:09:03,899:
upon 

1312
00:09:03,899 --> 00:09:04,559:
themselves 

1313
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:04,769:
to 

1314
00:09:04,769 --> 00:09:06,450:
encroach. And 

1315
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:06,600:
we 

1316
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,110:
suspect 

1317
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:07,259:
that 

1318
00:09:07,259 --> 00:09:07,500:
some 

1319
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:07,830:
force, 

1320
00:09:07,830 --> 00:09:07,919:
or 

1321
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:08,250:
some 

1322
00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:08,789:
curse, 

1323
00:09:08,789 --> 00:09:08,940:
is 

1324
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:09,480:
compelling 

1325
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:09,690:
them 

1326
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:10,500:
on. 

1327
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:10,649:
We 

1328
00:09:10,649 --> 00:09:10,919:
don’t 

1329
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:11,340:
know 

1330
00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:11,519:
for 

1331
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:11,940:
certain 

1332
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:16,019:
if it is lycanthropy. However, every time the full moon draws near, the wolves become more brazen. And now, the 

1333
00:09:16,019 --> 00:09:16,289:
moon 

1334
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:16,860:
waxes 

1335
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:17,159:
once 

1336
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:18,179:
more. 

1337
00:09:18,179 --> 00:09:18,330:
In 

1338
00:09:18,330 --> 00:09:18,750:
two nights’ 

1339
00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:19,053:
time, 

1340
00:09:19,053 --> 00:09:20,370:
she will be full, 

1341
00:09:20,370 --> 00:09:20,700:
meaning that 

1342
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:20,820:
the 

1343
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:21,450:
affliction 

1344
00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:21,600:
may 

1345
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:21,960:
once 

1346
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,259:
again 

1347
00:09:22,259 --> 00:09:22,470:
take 

1348
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,659:
hold. 

1349
00:09:24,659 --> 00:09:24,960:
However, 

1350
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,200:
this 

1351
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,470:
time, 

1352
00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:25,590:
we 

1353
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:25,740:
have 

1354
00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:25,799:
a 

1355
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:26,129:
chance 

1356
00:09:26,129 --> 00:09:26,250:
of 

1357
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:27,269:
defence. 

1358
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:27,480:
On 

1359
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:27,659:
that 

1360
00:09:27,659 --> 00:09:28,049:
note, 

1361
00:09:28,049 --> 00:09:28,139:
I 

1362
00:09:28,139 --> 00:09:28,289:
would 

1363
00:09:28,289 --> 00:09:28,590:

00:09:35,730 --> 00:09:35,970:
not 

1378
00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:36,179:
need

My

Now,

00:11:23,154 --> 00:11:23,634:
rations 

1600
00:11:23,634 --> 00:11:23,754:
of 

1601
00:11:23,754 --> 00:11:24,085:
food. 

1602
00:11:24,085 --> 00:11:24,264:
But 

1603
00:11:24,264 --> 00:11:24,414:
when 

1604
00:11:24,414 --> 00:11:24,534:
they 

1605
00:11:24,534 --> 00:11:24,745:
grow 

1606
00:11:24,745 --> 00:11:24,985:
up, what 

1607
00:11:24,985 --> 00:11:25,764:
then? Will 

1608
00:11:25,764 --> 00:11:25,945:
they 

1609
00:11:25,945 --> 00:11:26,304:
stay 

1610
00:11:26,304 --> 00:11:26,455:
with 

1611
00:11:26,455 --> 00:11:27,445:
us? 

1612
00:11:27,445 --> 00:11:27,747:
Or 

1613
00:11:27,747 --> 00:11:27,955:
will they 

1614
00:11:27,955 --> 00:11:28,345:
cross the 

1615
00:11:28,345 --> 00:11:28,764:
forest, 

1616
00:11:28,764 --> 00:11:29,125:
join their 

1617
00:11:29,125 --> 00:11:31,764:
own kind, or maybe even stay here 

1618
00:11:31,764 --> 00:11:32,304:
and fill our vixens 

1619
00:11:32,304 --> 00:11:32,875:
themselves? 

1620
00:11:32,875 --> 00:11:32,995:
I 

1621
00:11:32,995 --> 00:11:33,235:
tell 

1622
00:11:33,235 --> 00:11:33,384:
you, 

1623
00:11:33,384 --> 00:11:33,571:
they 

1624
00:11:33,571 --> 00:11:33,745:
are 

1625
00:11:33,745 --> 00:11:35,245:
parasites. 

1626
00:11:35,245 --> 00:11:35,394:
I 

1627
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:35,634:
would 

1628
00:11:35,634 --> 00:11:35,875:
put 

1629
00:11:35,875 --> 00:11:36,355:
nothing 

1630
00:11:36,355 --> 00:11:36,684:
past 

1631
00:11:36,684 --> 00:11:37,434:
them. 

1632
00:11:37,434 --> 00:11:37,644:
So 

1633
00:11:37,644 --> 00:11:37,735:
I 

1634
00:11:37,735 --> 00:11:38,394:
ask, 

1635
00:11:38,394 --> 00:11:38,634:
what 

1636
00:11:38,634 --> 00:11:39,054:
use is 

1637
00:11:39,054 --> 00:11:40,345:
diplomacy? 

1638
00:11:40,345 --> 00:11:40,465:
The 

1639
00:11:40,465 --> 00:11:40,764:
wolves 

1640
00:11:40,764 --> 00:11:40,855:
will 

1641
00:11:40,855 --> 00:11:41,034:
not 

1642
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:41,455:
listen 

1643
00:11:41,455 --> 00:11:41,605:
to 

1644
00:11:41,605 --> 00:11:41,934:
warm 

1645
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:43,195:
words. 

1646
00:11:43,195 --> 00:11:43,345:
We 

1647
00:11:43,345 --> 00:11:43,434:
are 

1648
00:11:43,434 --> 00:11:43,794:
past 

1649
00:11:43,794 --> 00:11:44,004:
that 

1650
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:45,400:
point!”<br>“I 

1651
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,345:
agree!”<br>“It 

1652
00:11:46,345 --> 00:11:46,495:
is 

1653
00:11:46,495 --> 00:11:47,514:
futile!”<br>“There 

1654
00:11:47,514 --> 00:11:47,695:
is 

1655
00:11:47,695 --> 00:11:47,845:
no 

1656
00:11:47,845 --> 00:11:48,445:
reasoning 

1657
00:11:48,445 --> 00:11:48,654:
with 

1658
00:11:48,654 --> 00:11:50,815:
Bror.”<br>Sudden 

1659
00:11:50,815 --> 00:11:52,105:
silence. 

1660
00:11:52,105 --> 00:11:52,225:
And 

1661
00:11:52,225 --> 00:11:52,375:
then, 

1662
00:11:52,375 --> 00:11:52,945:
whispers, 

1663
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:53,125:
like 

1664
00:11:53,125 --> 00:11:53,215:
a 

1665
00:11:53,215 --> 00:11:53,664:
collective 

1666
00:11:53,664 --> 00:11:54,414:
shudder, 

1667
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:54,804:
swept 

1668
00:11:54,804 --> 00:11:55,195:
across 

1669
00:11:55,195 --> 00:11:55,315:
the 

1670
00:11:55,315 --> 00:11:55,764:
assembled 

1671
00:11:55,764 --> 00:11:56,544:
foxes. 

1672
00:11:56,544 --> 00:11:56,754:
That 

1673
00:11:56,754 --> 00:11:58,105:
word, ‘Bror’, 

1674
00:11:58,105 --> 00:11:58,524:
sounded 

1675
00:11:58,524 --> 00:11:58,825:
almost 

1676
00:11:58,825 --> 00:11:59,394:
taboo 

1677
00:11:59,394 --> 00:11:59,514:
to 

1678
00:11:59,514 --> 00:11:59,634:
the 

1679
00:11:59,634 --> 00:12:00,024:
assembled 

1680

foxes. 

1681
00:12:00,534 --> 00:12:00,894:
Nobody 

1682
00:12:00,894 --> 00:12:01,225:
dared 

1683
00:12:01,225 --> 00:12:01,315:
to 

1684
00:12:01,315 --> 00:12:01,674:
admit 

1685
00:12:01,674 --> 00:12:01,795:
who 

1686
00:12:01,795 --> 00:12:01,914:

uttered

00:12:02,184 --> 00:12:02,934:
it. 

1689
00:12:02,934 --> 00:12:03,054:
It 

1690
00:12:03,054 --> 00:12:03,294:
fell 

1691
00:12:03,294 --> 00:12:03,384:
to 

1692
00:12:03,384 --> 00:12:03,504:
the

chief 

1694
00:12:03,804 --> 00:12:03,924:
to 

1695
00:12:03,924 --> 00:12:04,254:
restore

order.<br>“My clan,

00:12:06,115 --> 00:12:06,264:
I

00:12:06,264 --> 00:12:06,985:
understand

side,

it 

1717
00:12:13,975 --> 00:12:14,095:
is 

1718
00:12:14,095 --> 00:12:14,285:
worth

if

1733
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:22,164:
nodded. “I

1993
00:14:14,065 --> 00:14:14,184:
It 

1994
00:14:14,184 --> 00:14:14,365:
was 

1995
00:14:14,365 --> 00:14:15,115:
big, 

1996
00:14:15,115 --> 00:14:16,225:
black, 

1997
00:14:16,225 --> 00:14:17,815:
canine. 

1998
00:14:17,815 --> 00:14:18,355:
Senja felt 

1999
00:14:18,355 --> 00:14:18,445:
it 

2000
00:14:18,445 --> 00:14:19,495:
too. 

2001
00:14:19,495 --> 00:14:19,644:
His 

2002
00:14:19,644 --> 00:14:19,914:
tail 

2003
00:14:19,914 --> 00:14:20,365:
bristled, 

2004
00:14:20,365 --> 00:14:20,455:
and 

2005
00:14:20,455 --> 00:14:20,514:
he 

2006
00:14:20,514 --> 00:14:20,875:
whispered 

2007
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:20,934:
to 

2008
00:14:20,934 --> 00:14:22,284:
me.<br>“Just 

2009
00:14:22,284 --> 00:14:22,465:
keep 

2010
00:14:22,465 --> 00:14:23,485:
walking. 

2011
00:14:23,485 --> 00:14:23,695:
Don’t 

2012
00:14:23,695 --> 00:14:23,965:
look 

2013
00:14:23,965 --> 00:14:24,085:
at 

2014
00:14:24,085 --> 00:14:24,985:
them, 

2015
00:14:24,985 --> 00:14:25,225:
don’t 

2016
00:14:25,225 --> 00:14:25,764:
acknowledge 

2017
00:14:25,764 --> 00:14:27,774:
them.”<br>‘Them’? 

2018
00:14:27,774 --> 00:14:27,865:
I 

2019
00:14:27,865 --> 00:14:28,044:
could 

2020
00:14:28,044 --> 00:14:28,225:
only 

2021
00:14:28,225 --> 00:14:28,404:
see 

2022
00:14:28,404 --> 00:14:29,904:
one. 

2023
00:14:29,904 --> 00:14:30,085:
But 

2024
00:14:30,085 --> 00:14:30,174:
it 

2025
00:14:30,174 --> 00:14:30,384:
made 

2026
00:14:30,384 --> 00:14:30,774:
sense: 

2027
00:14:30,774 --> 00:14:31,105:
wolves 

2028
00:14:31,105 --> 00:14:31,434:
hunt 

2029
00:14:31,434 --> 00:14:31,585:
in 

2030
00:14:31,585 --> 00:14:33,085:
packs. 

2031
00:14:33,085 --> 00:14:33,294:
So 

2032
00:14:33,294 --> 00:14:33,414:
I 

2033
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:34,105:
nodded, 

2034
00:14:34,105 --> 00:14:34,254:
and I 

2035
00:14:34,254 --> 00:14:34,615:
followed 

2036
00:14:34,615 --> 00:14:34,735:
my 

2037
00:14:34,735 --> 00:14:35,034:
fellow 

2038
00:14:35,034 --> 00:14:35,424:
fox. 

2039
00:14:35,424 --> 00:14:35,575:
Out 

2040
00:14:35,575 --> 00:14:35,634:
of 

2041
00:14:35,634 --> 00:14:36,235:
instinct, 

2042
00:14:36,235 --> 00:14:36,596:
I rested 

2043
00:14:36,596 --> 00:14:36,715:
my 

2044
00:14:36,715 --> 00:14:37,074:
paw on 

2045
00:14:37,074 --> 00:14:37,225:
my 

2046
00:14:37,225 --> 00:14:38,934:
blade. 

2047
00:14:38,934 --> 00:14:39,054:
The 

2048
00:14:39,054 --> 00:14:39,565:
rustles 

2049
00:14:39,565 --> 00:14:39,774:
moved 

2050
00:14:39,774 --> 00:14:40,105:
further 

2051
00:14:40,105 --> 00:14:40,254:
into 

2052
00:14:40,254 --> 00:14:40,345:
the 

2053
00:14:40,345 --> 00:14:40,855:
distance, 

2054
00:14:40,855 --> 00:14:41,154:
away 

2055
00:14:41,154 --> 00:14:41,424:
from 

2056
00:14:41,424 --> 00:14:43,554:
us.<br>Up 

2057
00:14:43,554 --> 00:14:44,184:
ahead, 

2058
00:14:44,184 --> 00:14:44,304:
the 

2059
00:14:44,304 --> 00:14:44,514:
trees 

2060
00:14:44,514 --> 00:14:44,725:
began 

2061
00:14:44,725 --> 00:14:44,784:
to 

2062
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:45,985:
thin. 

2063
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:46,164:
Through 

2064
00:14:46,164 --> 00:14:47,095:
their trunks, I could see 

2065
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:48,445:
tents. 

2066
00:14:48,445 --> 00:14:48,686:
But 

2067
00:14:48,686 --> 00:14:48,745:
it 

2068
00:14:48,745 --> 00:14:48,924:
was 

2069
00:14:48,924 --> 00:14:49,014:
the 

2070
00:14:49,014 --> 00:14:49,524:
scent 

2071
00:14:49,524 --> 00:14:49,644:
that 

2072
00:14:49,644 --> 00:14:49,914:
struck 

2073
00:14:49,914 --> 00:14:50,065:
me 

2074
00:14:50,065 --> 00:14:50,154:
the 

2075
00:14:50,154 --> 00:14:50,754:
most. 

2076
00:14:50,754 --> 00:14:51,804:
Warm, 

2077
00:14:51,804 --> 00:14:52,375:
meaty, 

2078
00:14:52,375 --> 00:14:52,633:
a scent 

2079
00:14:52,633 --> 00:14:52,945:
familiar 

2080
00:14:52,945 --> 00:14:53,065:
to 

2081
00:14:53,065 --> 00:14:53,274:
any

canid, 

2083
00:14:53,597 --> 00:14:53,754:
but 

2084
00:14:53,754 --> 00:14:54,325:
richer 

2085
00:14:54,325 --> 00:14:54,504:
and 

2086
00:14:54,504 --> 00:14:55,884:
wilder. 

2087
00:14:55,884 --> 00:14:55,975:
The 

2088
00:14:55,975 --> 00:14:56,274:
scent 

2089
00:14:56,274 --> 00:14:56,424:
of

was 

2094
00:14:59,485 --> 00:14:59,514:
a

within 

2099
00:15:00,445 --> 00:15:00,504:

forest 

2101
00:15:00,835 --> 00:15:02,034:
clearing. 

2102
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:02,394:
Of course, 

2103
00:15:02,394 --> 00:15:02,485:
the 

2104
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:02,697:

Even

2581
00:18:49,164 --> 00:18:49,434:
before 

2582
00:18:49,434 --> 00:18:49,705:

2585
00:18:50,095 --> 00:18:51,775:
part way. 

2586
00:18:51,775 --> 00:18:51,954:
One 

2587

2594
00:19:01,315 --> 00:19:01,674:
Very well, 

2595

I 

2596
00:19:01,765 --> 00:19:01,974:

threshold.” <br>Bror 

2605
00:19:07,773 --> 00:19:08,035:
turned

back 

2607
00:19:08,214 --> 00:19:08,335:

Senja 

2611
00:19:10,105 --> 00:19:10,525:
nudged

2623
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:13,585:
stared

though

Bror

took 

2667
00:19:31,585 --> 00:19:31,674:
the

He

00:19:35,154 --> 00:19:35,785:
it 

2681
00:19:35,785 --> 00:19:35,964:

00:19:45,565 --> 00:19:45,924:
come to 

2701
00:19:45,924 --> 00:19:52,884:
discuss?”<br>“Bror,” Senja started, “the full moon rises tomorrow night. We know 

2702
00:19:52,884 --> 00:19:53,035:
how

this

affects 

2705
00:19:53,664 --> 00:19:53,815:
your

The

broken

countless times. 

2719
00:19:58,944 --> 00:19:59,244:
That 

2720
00:19:59,244 --> 00:20:01,105:
armistice has guaranteed our peace for 

2721
00:20:01,105 --> 00:20:03,414:

as

00:20:06,174 --> 00:20:06,355:
I 

2732
00:20:06,355 --> 00:20:06,505:
do, 

2733
00:20:06,505 --> 00:20:06,595:
how 

2734
00:20:06,595 --> 00:20:06,894:

even on

You

even dare 

2750
00:20:13,214 --> 00:20:13,335:
to

wolfsbane

00:20:14,204 --> 00:20:16,394:
in the forest, no doubt to poison my pack. 

2754
00:20:16,394 --> 00:20:16,545:
So 

2755
00:20:16,545 --> 00:20:16,664:
do

truces. 

2762
00:20:19,005 --> 00:20:19,154:
You 

2763
00:20:19,154 --> 00:20:19,335:
may 

2764
00:20:19,335 --> 00:20:19,575:
think of

00:20:19,575 --> 00:20:20,055:
yourselves

00:21:52,184 --> 00:21:52,244:
a

fox, 

2975
00:21:52,694 --> 00:21:52,845:

2976

as

you 

2978
00:21:53,085 --> 00:21:53,625:

an

conflict. 

2983
00:21:56,625 --> 00:21:57,255:
Therefore,

00:21:57,255 --> 00:21:57,345:
I 

2985
00:21:57,345 --> 00:21:57,494:

2994
00:21:59,684 --> 00:21:59,775:
If 

2995
00:21:59,775 --> 00:21:59,954:
that 

2996
00:21:59,954 --> 00:22:00,674:

it,

but 

3005
00:22:02,894 --> 00:22:02,954:
I 

3006

00:23:19,785 --> 00:23:20,025:
how 

3170
00:23:20,025 --> 00:23:20,144:
our 

3171
00:23:20,144 --> 00:23:20,625:

00:23:20,625 --> 00:23:20,865:
went 

3173
00:23:20,865 --> 00:23:21,015:
with 

3174
00:23:21,015 --> 00:23:21,404:
Bror. 

3175
00:23:21,404 --> 00:23:21,944:
Still, 

3176
00:23:21,944 --> 00:23:22,065:
he 

3177
00:23:22,065 --> 00:23:23,234:
surmised, 

3178
00:23:23,234 --> 00:23:23,595:
maybe 

3179
00:23:23,595 --> 00:23:23,744:
the 

3180
00:23:23,744 --> 00:23:24,255:
presence 

3181
00:23:24,255 --> 00:23:24,345:
of

00:23:24,345 --> 00:23:24,404:
a

3184
00:23:24,734 --> 00:23:24,974:
hunter 

3185
00:23:24,974 --> 00:23:25,125:
would 

3186
00:23:25,125 --> 00:23:25,275:
give 

3187
00:23:25,275 --> 00:23:25,423:
his 

3188
00:23:25,423 --> 00:23:25,785:
clan 

3189
00:23:25,785 --> 00:23:25,994:
some 

3190
00:23:25,994 --> 00:23:26,505:
safety 

3191
00:23:26,505 --> 00:23:26,744:
this 

3192
00:23:26,744 --> 00:23:28,484:
moon. <br>A 

3193
00:23:28,484 --> 00:23:28,904:
dark, 

3194
00:23:28,904 --> 00:23:29,234:
thick 

3195
00:23:29,234 --> 00:23:29,505:
meat

broth 

3197
00:23:29,805 --> 00:23:29,924:
was 

3198
00:23:29,924 --> 00:23:30,164:
waiting 

3199
00:23:30,164 --> 00:23:30,315:
for 

3200
00:23:30,315 --> 00:23:30,494:
us, 

3201
00:23:30,494 --> 00:23:30,884:
served 

3202
00:23:30,884 --> 00:23:31,634:
alongside 

3203
00:23:31,634 --> 00:23:32,085:
rounds 

3204
00:23:32,085 --> 00:23:32,144:
of 

3205
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:32,894:
freshly baked 

3206
00:23:32,894 --> 00:23:34,005:
bread. 

3207
00:23:34,005 --> 00:23:34,964:
Senja and I were both 

3208
00:23:34,964 --> 00:23:36,944:
ravenous, and we ate two full helpings 

3209
00:23:36,944 --> 00:23:38,085:
each. 

3210
00:23:38,085 --> 00:23:38,355:
After 

3211
00:23:38,355 --> 00:23:38,444:
the 

3212
00:23:38,444 --> 00:23:38,865:
meal, 

3213
00:23:38,865 --> 00:23:39,015:
I 

3214
00:23:39,015 --> 00:23:39,585:
wandered 

3215
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:40,095:
alone, 

3216
00:23:40,095 --> 00:23:40,125:
a 

3217
00:23:40,125 --> 00:23:40,454:
short 

3218
00:23:40,454 --> 00:23:40,641:
way 

3219
00:23:40,641 --> 00:23:40,815:
from 

3220
00:23:40,815 --> 00:23:40,875:
the 

3221
00:23:40,875 --> 00:23:42,194:
village. 

3222
00:23:42,194 --> 00:23:42,285:
The 

3223
00:23:42,285 --> 00:23:42,795:
sun 

3224
00:23:42,795 --> 00:23:43,035:

3225
00:23:43,035 --> 00:23:43,275:
long

3227
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:43,957:
and 

3228
00:23:43,957 --> 00:23:44,025:
the 

3229
00:23:44,025 --> 00:23:44,444:
stars 

3230
00:23:44,444 --> 00:23:44,714:
shone 

3231
00:23:44,714 --> 00:23:44,984:
clear 

3232
00:23:44,984 --> 00:23:45,075:
in 

3233
00:23:45,075 --> 00:23:45,164:
the 

3234
00:23:45,164 --> 00:23:45,585:
twilight 

3235
00:23:45,585 --> 00:23:47,085:
sky. 

3236
00:23:47,085 --> 00:23:47,265:
By 

3237
00:23:47,265 --> 00:23:47,444:
my 

3238
00:23:47,444 --> 00:23:47,894:
paws, 

3239
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:47,983:
the

river 

3241
00:23:48,325 --> 00:23:48,464:
ran 

3242
00:23:48,464 --> 00:23:48,734:
its 

3243
00:23:48,734 --> 00:23:49,154:
rippling, 

3244
00:23:49,154 --> 00:23:49,545:
flowing 

3245
00:23:49,545 --> 00:23:50,835:
course. 

3246
00:23:50,835 --> 00:23:50,984:
And for 

3247
00:23:50,984 --> 00:23:51,075:
the 

3248
00:23:51,075 --> 00:23:51,285:
first 

3249
00:23:51,285 --> 00:23:51,464:
time 

3250
00:23:51,464 --> 00:23:51,674:
since 

3251
00:23:51,674 --> 00:23:51,944:
leaving 

3252
00:23:51,944 --> 00:23:52,035:
the 

3253
00:23:52,035 --> 00:23:52,305:
city, 

3254
00:23:52,305 --> 00:23:52,365:
I 

3255
00:23:52,365 --> 00:23:52,694:
breathed 

3256
00:23:52,694 --> 00:23:52,815:
in 

3257
00:23:52,815 --> 00:23:54,255:
deep. 

3258
00:23:54,255 --> 00:23:54,375:
The 

3259
00:23:54,375 --> 00:23:54,704:
air 

3260
00:23:54,704 --> 00:23:54,884:
was 

3261
00:23:54,884 --> 00:23:55,125:
so 

3262
00:23:55,125 --> 00:23:56,085:
fresh, 

3263
00:23:56,085 --> 00:23:56,505:
clean, 

3264
00:23:56,505 --> 00:23:56,595:
with 

3265
00:23:56,595 --> 00:23:56,684:
the 

3266
00:23:56,684 --> 00:23:56,894:
scent 

3267
00:23:56,894 --> 00:23:57,015:
of 

3268
00:23:57,015 --> 00:23:57,375:
plants 

3269
00:23:57,375 --> 00:23:57,494:

grasses 

3271
00:23:57,944 --> 00:23:58,065:

00:23:59,384 --> 00:23:59,473:
the

3276
00:23:59,805 --> 00:23:59,954:
of

00:23:59,954 --> 00:24:00,045:
the

stream 

3279
00:24:00,464 --> 00:24:00,632:
with 

3280
00:24:00,632 --> 00:24:00,786:
its 

3281
00:24:00,786 --> 00:24:01,214:
traces 

3282
00:24:01,214 --> 00:24:01,305:
of 

3283
00:24:01,305 --> 00:24:01,694:
rock 

3284
00:24:01,694 --> 00:24:01,845:
and 

3285
00:24:01,845 --> 00:24:02,474:
salt, 

3286
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:02,595:
and in the 

3287
00:24:02,595 --> 00:24:03,375:
distance, 

3288
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:03,464:
the

warm, 

3290
00:24:04,275 --> 00:24:04,815:
familiar 

3291
00:24:04,815 --> 00:24:05,115:
scent of 

3292
00:24:05,115 --> 00:24:06,315:
fox. 

3293
00:24:06,315 --> 00:24:06,464:
It 

3294
00:24:06,464 --> 00:24:06,585:
would 

3295
00:24:06,585 --> 00:24:06,674:
have 

3296
00:24:06,674 --> 00:24:06,855:
been 

3297
00:24:06,855 --> 00:24:06,914:
a 

3298
00:24:06,914 --> 00:24:07,724:
simple, 

3299
00:24:07,724 --> 00:24:08,204:
peaceful 

3300
00:24:08,204 --> 00:24:09,734:
life. <br>If 

3301
00:24:09,734 --> 00:24:09,916:
not 

3302
00:24:09,916 --> 00:24:10,033:
for 

3303
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:10,125:
the 

3304
00:24:10,125 --> 00:24:13,244:
wolves.<br>Senja’s family 

3305
00:24:13,244 --> 00:24:13,964:
rested uneasy 

3306
00:24:13,964 --> 00:24:14,204:
that 

3307
00:24:14,204 --> 00:24:15,105:
night. His 

3308
00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:15,285:
three 

3309
00:24:15,285 --> 00:24:15,615:
kits 

3310
00:24:15,615 --> 00:24:15,974:
whimpered 

3311
00:24:15,974 --> 00:24:16,065:
in 

3312
00:24:16,065 --> 00:24:16,184:
their 

3313
00:24:16,184 --> 00:24:16,875:
dreams 

3314
00:24:16,875 --> 00:24:17,055:
and 

3315
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:17,265:
woke 

3316
00:24:17,265 --> 00:24:17,505:
without 

3317
00:24:17,505 --> 00:24:19,214:
pattern. 

3318
00:24:19,214 --> 00:24:19,365:
Through 

3319
00:24:19,365 --> 00:24:19,454:
the 

3320
00:24:19,454 --> 00:24:19,785:
wall, 

3321
00:24:19,785 --> 00:24:19,875:
I 

3322
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:20,085:
heard 

3323
00:24:20,085 --> 00:24:20,474:
Senja and 

3324
00:24:20,474 --> 00:24:20,595:
his

shushing 

3327
00:24:21,194 --> 00:24:21,555:
them, 

3328
00:24:21,555 --> 00:24:22,035:
comforting 

3329
00:24:22,035 --> 00:24:22,694:
them. 

3330
00:24:22,694 --> 00:24:22,815:
They 

3331
00:24:22,815 --> 00:24:23,025:
must 

3332
00:24:23,025 --> 00:24:23,115:
have 

3333
00:24:23,115 --> 00:24:23,355:
known, 

3334
00:24:23,355 --> 00:24:23,654:
somehow, 

3335
00:24:23,654 --> 00:24:23,805:
that 

3336
00:24:23,805 --> 00:24:23,894:
the

given 

3341
00:24:24,884 --> 00:24:25,365:
light 

3342
00:24:25,365 --> 00:24:25,545:

00:24:25,545 --> 00:24:25,904:
dark

emerge.<br>I 

3347
00:24:28,244 --> 00:24:28,845:
agreed 

3348
00:24:28,845 --> 00:24:28,964:
to 

3349
00:24:28,964 --> 00:24:29,174:
take 

3350
00:24:29,174 --> 00:24:29,474:
second

00:24:29,474 --> 00:24:30,974:
watch. 

3352
00:24:30,974 --> 00:24:31,095:
The 

3353
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:31,515:
foxes 

3354
00:24:31,515 --> 00:24:31,724:
being 

3355
00:24:31,724 --> 00:24:32,234:
nocturnal 

3356
00:24:32,234 --> 00:24:32,805:
themselves, 

3357
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:32,894:
there 

3358
00:24:32,894 --> 00:24:33,045:
was 

3359
00:24:33,045 --> 00:24:33,163:
still 

3360
00:24:33,163 --> 00:24:33,674:
activity 

3361
00:24:33,674 --> 00:24:33,914:
around 

3362
00:24:33,914 --> 00:24:34,035:
the 

3363
00:24:34,035 --> 00:24:34,664:
village. 

3364
00:24:34,664 --> 00:24:34,904:
