Maik and Manfred decide that all this is worrying about the coming of the Dark One, and his evil Troth was for the birds. “A tune will help brush away these cobwebs of worry,” said Maik. Then, he began to play his fiddle. Manfred grabbed a mug and tapped a barrel of ale. “A pint will chase away those Troth goblins and their boney master, Mörken, as well,” chuckled Manfred. So, the two friends whiled away the afternoon singing songs and drinking ale. Sadly, they knew deep down that war was coming, and even the best-played song or tastiest brew couldn’t hide this fact. Tomorrow would bring new horrors, but for now, life was good.
