As the wind whipped about him and the snow grew ever deeper, Radu realized he had no choice but to accept the old woman's request, for a winter's night in the heights of the Balinoks without shelter was a sure death.

"Yes, grandmother," said Radu. "I agree that my horse for a night's shelter is a fair trade."

"You've done right by this old woman, young man," said the old woman, with a smile that made her uglier than ever.

And with that, she walked up to Danzi, looked him up and down once, and struck the horse sharply between the eyes with her staff. Poor Danzi instantly fell over dead.

Next, the old woman licked her lips and opened her mouth wide, kneeling over the horse's body. What happened next, Radu did not want to know, so he closed his eyes. But he could still hear, and thought that if he looked at what the old woman was doing he might go blind or mad.
