The small bell.
From the journal of the Wolf of the North · a work of fiction
Marta, who once left a red scarf on my gate, sent a small brass bell. Her family had been caught again near the meadow, but this time she rang it to lead her younger brother out of the herd's path.
I arrived after they were safe. We sat by the stove and let her tell the story herself. It is a strange gift, to be needed less than before. I have never been happier to receive one.
