The Interlopers



This story is about the hatred and rivalry between two main characters. These characters go by the names of Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym. The two characters have been enemies since birth, because their grandfathers feuded over a piece of forestland in between both their lands. One evening both characters tries to hunt the other down. They meet face to face separated from their men, alone and before neither of them can act, a bolt of lightning strikes a tree and it falls over both men. Since they were both injured they couldn't do anything, but their hatred filled minds still controls them and they argue with each other in whose men will come first to the rescue. Ulrich then attempts and takes his wine flask out of his coat pocket and drinks wine and, he started to feel bad and offered Georg some as well but Georg refuses and tells him he doesn't drink with his enemies. After a while Ulrich asks Georg to bury their ridiculous quarrel and asks for his friendship. Georg agrees after a long thought and they both join their voices and scream for help; hoping their men will hear their voices. Suddenly, they see figures coming through the woods; hoping it’s their men they both get anxious unfortunately they realize it’s just a pack of wolves.
