The Bait (episode)

Summary
"Verdon announces on training that they will go to Forest of Fear, and that will be their good practical training. After that Zeres is interrogating Aleg, he doubts that Aleg could be the mysterious man stalking him. Aleg explains that he is going to school, and that day he needed to pass an exam, because he wants to be scientist, physician and more. Zeres says 'Sorry, the thing makes me mad'. Aleg curiosly asks 'What thing?' Zeres makes up a lie that he have terrible headache, so he doesnt speak rational. Zeres tells Verdon that rune maybe have some connection with man stalking him. Verdon offers Zeres to make a bait for him tonight, and Zeres accepts. Zeres goes home, on the road in front of his house, dwarf almost hit him with cariage because he didnt saw him. Dwarf is with some nice girl, and calls Zeres to come with them to rollick, Zeres thanks, but refuses. Verdon goes to Town, to Ronalds lab, they speak about possible spies in Town, they conclude that Hergen attacked the town to get Kings children, and he got information about their whereabouts from someone. We see Zeres laying on his bed, taking torch and leaving the house to meet with Verdon. They plan to go to tobbaco field first, as they are going Zeres sees the mark like letter X on one of the trees, which he calls Daybee, that information amazes Verdon, then he examines it closely. They go further, except for mark, no traces of anybody lurking, until rustling interrupts conversation. Verdon is sneaking towards the bush where sound came from. He draws his sword, and with torch lights the bush, but that was just a fox. When they came to field, wind is blowing more stronger, Verdon whispers to him to go on the center of field, while he will hide in the trees waiting. Plan is conducted, Zeres is freezing from the cold wind blows, he rubs his shoulders with hands. While longer after waiting Verdon comes and tells that there is no man near them, and they can both go to sleep now. Verdon escorts him to house, and then goes along the road. Zeres is going to bed, with a cup of brandy, first he sits on, speaking with himself he tells: 'There is no man in black, thats my sick brain, oh yes, with help from this' (as he finishes, he looks at rune). Then lies down to sleep. We see that he have nightmares, and in dream he see a man in black and beyond him, huge man with mask calling Zeres by name."
