            Madren pushed through the thick roots which had grown over the entrance of the cave and motioned for his companion to advance into the night ahead of him. Behind them, they left Ilse the Wyrdling to rest within the foul air of her mystic's den.
            "Have you ever heard such lies?"
            "She is a seer," answered Runar. "I have paid her tribute and she has told me what I have come to learn."
            "She's a witch. Her words are meant to replace the fire in your heart with a cold fear." Madren growled as Ilse's prophecy - the witch's words - repeated in his head. "This is nothing but lies and foolish talk. How do you fear a day? A day cannot wield steel or command an army against you."
            "It is not the day that I fear - not the waning of the moon or the setting of the sun - but, that which I've been warned comes for me on that day: something as black and wicked as to drive my heart to stall and the blood to freeze in my arm. We shall see much on the Ides of March - ruin, wrack, and the red fires of doom."
            Madren groaned. "Such are the warnings of high-priced soothsayers. I'll greet the Ides in deep, drunken dreaming."
            "Stay in your bed, if you must, Madren. Sleep long until the Ides are behind you. But, should you look for me, you shall find me on the field, dressed for battle and ready to break the arrows of my enemies upon my shield. And, should this evil find you in your bed, may the gods help you, 'cause I won't."
