The hearth had finally begun to draw down after Marie's evening spent tending the bar. The only remaining patrons were Old Ulfur and a handsome young hunter she had never seen before. Ulfur had been a hunter much of his life, though now he mostly just held down a seat in the local inn and told his stories. Marie had heard the stories so many times she could practically retell them herself, though she took little stock in the more horrible ones.
The young hunter intrigued her more however, Henri he had called himself when she brought him a beer earlier in the evening. He had even given her a silver piece for her troubles. The intriguing part though was that he had spent the evening speaking with Ulfur and listening to one of his stories. The one about the black wolf that could turn into a man in the nearby forest, the one that no one among the townsfolk believed.
Something about the young man just seemed to fascinate her, she couldn't tear her eyes away. Even when he stood up to leave she almost wanted to follow him out the door, but she still had a little more time and Ulfur was calling for another beer. Thankfully it wouldn't be much longer and she could perhaps take a walk to find the young hunter.
