Ehwaz and Purisaz had arrived at ten the previous night—about the same time Brandt, Jackson and Caelum arrived with their story about the Bogeyman. "He was no big thing. I even called him Darth Asshat and he didn't do nothing," Brandt boasted. The boy's bravado did nothing to counteract the anxiety everyone had seeing Jackson and Caelum so shaken. "What exactly did you see?" Njord asked. He couldn't recall the last time someone had been in such close proximity to the Bogeyman and survived. He couldn't help but see the irony in him choosing to be called Cain. He wondered if even the man himself realized it. "So you believe he was hunting someone," Njord summarized. "Yes, sir," Jackson said. "He told us he'd followed a specific person's melody to that spot." "Was there any evidence who that someone was?" The three boys exchanged a glance and looked at the others who crowded in the room to hear the story.
