Away away toward the forest hurries the Wehr-Wolf impelled, lashed on by an invincible scourge, and filling the woods with its appalling yells while its mouth scatters foam like thick flakes of snow. Hark, there is an ominous rustling in one of the trees of the forest; and the monster seems to instinctively know the danger which menaces it.
The solemn spectacle seemed to madden the Wehr-Wolf. His speed increased he dashed through the funeral train appalling cries of terror and alarm burst from the lips of the holy fathers and the solemn procession was thrown into confusion. The coffin-bearers dropped their burden, and the corpse rolled out upon the ground, its decomposing countenance seeming horrible by the glare of the torch-light.
Consent to become mine mine eternally, when thy mortal breath shall leave thy body, and in the meantime I promise thee power illimitable happiness such as no human being ever yet enjoyed " "No no!" exclaimed Wagner. "Rather the destiny of a Wehr-Wolf rather the solitude of this island for the remainder of my days than resign all chance of salvation!
Yes; it is in thy power to do all this and the same decision which shall place that amount of ineffable happiness within thy reach, will also redeem thee from the horrible destiny of a Wehr-Wolf leaving thee thy youth and thy beauty, and investing thee with a power equal to that enjoyed by thy late master, Faust."
Reflect, Wagner I offer thee a great boon nay, many great boons: the annihilation of those trammels which bind thee to the destiny of a wehr-wolf, power unlimited for the rest of thy days, and the immediate possession of that Nisida whom thou lovest so fondly, and who is so beautiful, so exceedingly beautiful." Desperate was the struggle that took place in the breast of Wagner.
Great was the sensation that prevailed throughout the city of Florence. Rumor had industriously spread, and with equal assiduity exaggerated, the particulars of Fernand Wagner's trial, and the belief that a man on whom the horrible destiny of a Wehr-Wolf had been entailed, was about to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, was generally prevalent.
Away away went the ferocious animal heading toward the sea careering, thundering on, as if intent on plunging into the silent depths, and there ending its course in a watery grave. But no: death yawns not for the Wehr-Wolf! Scarcely have its feet touched the verge of the water, when the monster wheels round and continues its whirlwind way without for an instant relaxing one tittle of its speed.
Yells and cries of despair reverberated through the long corridor: and those sounds were for an instant broken by that of the falling of a heavy body. 'Twas the chief judge, hurled down and dashed violently against the rough uneven masonry, by the mad careering of the Wehr-Wolf as the monster burst from his cell.
But in the midst of the appalling spasmodic convulsions, with direful writhings on the soil, and with cries of bitter anguish, the Wehr-Wolf gradually threw off his monster-shape; and at the very moment when the first sunbeam penetrated the wood and glinted on his face he rose a handsome, young, and perfect man once more!
The horrible picture of the Wehr-Wolf, a picture which he had painted when in a strangely morbid state of mind had disappeared. Here was another sign of Heaven's goodness a further proof of celestial mercy.
