They have seen their own fears dancing in the desert.
They have seen something green after the light was
gone, and some child has told them a tale that it was

they have seen?

Ulf:
Something was coming this way from the desert, he said.

Slag:
What should come from the desert?

Agmar:
They are a foolish people.

Ulf:
That man's white face has seen some frightful thing.
