"Thalos, stop! Don't hurt him more!" Dag said again, ordering his wolf not to kill the spy.

Thalos immediately stopped his run and returned beside his master, satisfied.

In a violent gesture, Dag grabbed the man's neck and turned it hard, clinging to his cloak and taking off his hood.

As the dark arm gave up its grip and returned to Dag's back, the bloodied face of the man became visible under the light of a nearby torch and Dag realized that he was a stranger.

"Grrrr!"
