When Thorfinn was old enough to hunt Sven taught him the tricks of the trade and most of all how to use a bow.
Romours had started to spread in Two Rivers that Sven had made a pact with the Wolves. Some of the locals said that he spoke with the wolves. In actual fact Sven was Wolfkin, it was his closley guarded secret that even Hild never new about.
One day when Thorfinn was at the farm with his mother skinning deer, when Sven’s horse returned to the farm without Sven.
