“When the dragon awoke, new woe was kindled.
O’er the stone he snuffed. The stark-heart found
footprint of foe who so far had gone
in his hidden craft by the creature’s head. --
So may the undoomed easily flee
evils and exile, if only he gain

o’er the ground went seeking, greedy to find
the man who wrought him such wrong in sleep.
Savage and burning, the barrow he circled
all without; nor was any there,
none in the waste.... Yet war he desired,
was eager for battle. The barrow he entered,
sought the cup, and discovered soon
that some one of mortals had searched his treasure,

ill-enduring till evening came;
boiling with wrath was the barrow’s keeper,
and fain with flame the foe to pay
for the dear cup’s loss.”

The only noise came from the chirping insects and the lone man who could no longer lean quietly against the jeep.
Oluwaseun Ogunleye was fidgeting nervously. He couldn’t stand still. It was 11:00pm. They should be here. The attack should have occurred between 6:00pm and 7:00 and then they should have been back to him by 10:30 at the latest. Could something have gone wrong? The nervousness of waiting made minutes seem longer than they were. He had arrived just after ten and this hour had seemed more like a week. His mind had been racing but no matter what he tried to fill it with the time moved torturously slow. So he thought about the last question.
