The chapter opens with a description of the battle between the four knights and a wolf. The wolf is larger than the other three, and it is rumored that the wolf is attacking other towns. The chapter ends with a soliloquy by a sixteen-year-old boy. The boy tells his friend that he hates the battle because it reminds him of the time when he was a kid. He tells the boy that he is not a kid, and that he loves anyone strong enough to fight.
