Nu blir det en liten saga, skriven av mig:
Lurking through the shadows, evading being seen, the young man glided
through the forest. Barely disturbing the branches and leaves that lie on
the forest floor, he slid almost like a cat.
But beneath all this apparent serenity, his heart pounded like a smith on

spring breeze. He quietly glided into the still cold waters of Lady Lake and
used a few swim-strokes to get to where he was heading. He quietly levered
himself onto the barge, and snuck towards a nearby door, opened it and
stepped through.
“Nobody there”, he thought as he stepped towards the far corner of the room.
But as he almost felt secure a voice very well known to him startled him:
“And where have you been, my dear knabe? Have you been off with that Neuvolk

sighed: “Yes mutti, I know...”
