Eyewitnesses
They all said they saw everything. And more of those who came back confirmed what they hadn’t seen. They were unanimous. It had risen from the snow, leaped from the underbrush, rushed towards the king’s men, skewered the wolf, turned from white to blue, whinnied with triumph, melted into the fog.
