Castle lord Artan remains missing, plausibly a victim of the deadly fire-breathing dragon. Sieg lost men on a failed rescue mission, which yielded only Artan's helmet, and a promise that the dragon will spare the locals if given tributes regularly, for which Sieg offers as first his crusade-looted treasure, but instantly starts collecting from the villagers, farmer Toon, who speaks out against paying, changes his mind after his homestead is burned at night. Squire Wolf finds Sieg a harsh combat instructor. Searching for Artan in the forest, he bumps into blacksmith Balthasar's fresh son Friso, whom he first treats rudely, but wins his heart by defending him against his abusive farther, so Ferre promises to arrange a meeting with the 'forets spirit', a grim female who scares them off Wolf's horse with her companion wolf and demands 'tests'.
