Into the firelight steps an ancient man, white hair tumbling past his shoulders. He is bent nearly double, and walks with his hand on a young girl's shoulder. The girl leads him carefully around roots and stones as he peers sightlessly around the circle, stopping with his face to the fire. He sighs to feel the warmth on it."Welcome, father," begins the elder. "I'm glad to see you awake..."But without hearing him, the wizened man continues, "Safe, down the stairs, safe down the stairs... Only the marshes down there now. Seen birds flying overhead, but they don't land in the marshes!  Songs about them, old songs, sing songs, ding dong songs... If you go south in the marshes take heed: tread lightly and fear the gallows-weed..."He trails off, muttering.  The elder turns back to the party and says, "My father, Old Nerulf. I am Nagi son of Nerulf. Some still call me 'Young Nagi'.  As long as my father lives, none dare call me old!" He laughs toothlessly.</blockquote>
