"You have been to the plain of sorrow, Wilhelm of Helmbarte?" asked the wizened old man as Wilhelm dismounted.
"I have," said Wilhelm, and drew from his pack the black metal. "Though the black metal was elsewhere, but no matter, for I have it now."

"In the belly of the wolf," said Wilhelm, and looked at Beraht. "Time grows short. Soldiers of the Dragon Lord approach. Tell me, how may the great staves of power be used to forge a sword to slay the dragon?"
