In this brief scene, the wolf and the wolf's men discuss the situation on the island. The wolf tells the wolf that the island's goddess, the goddess of the underworld, has sent him to the island at the request of her husband, the god Barra. Barra has ruled the island for 15 years, demanding sacrifice from the crops until rivers are choked with corpses. The goddess banished Barra from the island and imprisoned him in the black bog, where he has remained ever since. The wolves are disappointed in the king's lack of interest in the matter.
