That morning, Firefoot did not show up at the tavern. Everyone knew what that meant.

Mister Underhill and the guy who be short were sent to Firefoot's cottage to see if there were any clues there to help identify the final wolf. Most of the villagers, however, figured all the two would find would be a corpse.

"What did you find?!" burst out Esty as the pair entered the tavern.

"It wasn't a pretty sight," said Underhill.

"You can say that again," added TGWBS. "It seems that she was lying in her bed when the beast laid hold of her. Judging by the damage to her and the things around the house, I'd say that the wolf yanked her out of bed by the ankles and swung her around, bashing her head against the walls and furniture. And then it appears that the creature slashed her with its claws and beat her with its fists, though it was likely she was already dead. Last of all, the foul demon snapped her in half over its knee, stuffed her into her cupboard, and stuck knives into her eyes."

Many of the villagers didn't hear the last part, as they had covered their ears halfway through the horrific report. Boromir, who had listened to the whole thing, wondered aloud, "Why was the wolf so incredibly vicious this time? Is it simply angry about losing its comrades, or did it particularly dislike Firefoot?"

"I was about to ask the same thing," added mormegil.

"Both reasons, most likely," answered Mister Underhill. "TGWBS and I found several interesting books and journals in Firefoot's house, and all were marked with the same symbol- an eye ringed with stars and crescent moons. The symbol was also tattooed on her back just below her neck."

"Just a minute, here!" exclaimed Fea. "Are you telling us that-"

"-Firefoot was a seer?!" finished Enca.

Mister Underhill and the guy who be short nodded.
