CDLXXXV. The Four Groups

...

The next day, both of them were awakened by the sudden sound of the bells, which due to their proximity to the Colossus Palace, was very loud.

Even Thalos, who could sleep in all conditions and in every place, leaped from the floor, beginning to bark and growl, looking around.

Dag, after raising his head from the soft fur pillow, sighed and lay down again.

"Thalos, stop barking, don't worry... it's just the sound of the bells" he said, thinking that his wolf had never heard it before.

Freydis was the first to get out of bed and after giving Dag a good morning with a kiss, she went downstairs and turned off the fireplace, noting that both armor and clothes were dry and clean.

"Come on, sleepyhead! The Clan warriors are waiting for you!" she exclaimed, urging Dag to get out of bed.
