Shadows had already grown long as the villagers trod to the square. The villagers had decided: Kitanna had got to be a wolf. Her vote had been rather peculiar, besides, what kind of an honest people would become a goat herder, anyway?

"Time to separate the sheep from the goats", Anguirel muttered.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not in the mood for this now. I'm busy, so try to be quick with this, will you?" Kitanna snorted.

The villagers agreed that Kitanna's request was reasonable. Now the only question was, how they could lynch her as swiftly as possible.

"We could stone her", Wilwarin suggested.

"No, no, there's not enough rocks close at hand and it would take too long to go collecting some", tar-ancalime remarked.

"Oh, I know, we can break her back", Lalaith said pointing at thick branches on the ground, but her idea was turned down. "That wouldn't necessarily kill her instantly. It could take even minutes to get her lynched like that", Glirdan said.

"Let's just have her head and be done with it", Eonwe and littlemanpoet cried.

"You slothful slackers! I really don't have time for this", Kitanna snarled, and with that, she fell on all fours and underwent a hideous metamorphosis. In front of the villagers' eyes crouched now Kitanna in most unearthy form. Bristling her back hair the beast charged forward, but before she reached any of the gaping villagers (or Firefoot's dog), a stone of the size of a fist thwacked her between the eyes with a nasty thud. Only seconds after, the villagers had cracked Kitanna's backbone and cut her head off. It was a bloody mess, but granted, it didn't take long. The villagers had killed already their second wolf!
