      Ko kuma zai iya zama ne?

      Dayaji Kaman da mutum a bayansa, Thor ya juyo yaga Argon a tsaye a wurin, yana kallon dabban a kasa.

      “Da yaya kazonan?” Thor ya tambaya, yana mamaki.

      Argon yayi Kaman bai jishiba.

      “Ka shaidi abinda ya faru?” Thor ya tambaya, har yanzu bai yarda ba. “Ban san yanda na aikatashi ba.”

      “Amma kasani,” Argon ya ansa.”A can ciki, kasani. Kai daban ne da duka shauran.”

      “Yayi kama da…..muhimmin Karin karfi,” Thor yace. “Kaman karfinda nima bansan inadashiba.

      “Kewayen makamashin,” inji Argon. “Watarana zakazo kasanshi da kyau. Zaka ma iya koyan gudanar dashi.”

      Thor ya kama kafadarsa; zafin yayi tsanani. Ya kalli kasa ya hangi hanunsa a rufe da jinni. Yaji kansa ba nauyi, yana damuwan abunda zai iya faruwa idan bai samu taimako ba.

      Argon yaki ya kalleshi.

      “Wassu abubuwa a cikin lokaci zakazo kasani.”

      Thor yayi tunanin wani abu.

      “Yanzu wannan na nufin zan iya shiga rundunan sarki kenan?” ya tambaya, da faraha. “Tabbattace, idon zan iya kasha dabban Sybold, to zan iya kare kaina a wurin shauran yaran.”

      “Tabbatace zaka iya,” ya ansa masa.

      “Amma sun zabi yan’uwana – basu zabeniba.”

      “Yan’uwanka bazasu iya kashe wannan mummunan dabban ba.”

      Thor nata maida kallo, yana tunani.

      “Amma ai sun riga sun kini. Dayaya zan shiga?”

      “Daga yaushe jarumi ya fara bukatan a gaiyaceshi?” Argon ya tambaya.

      “Kana nufin inje a ganni kawai kenan? Ba tareda an gaiyace ni ba?”

      Argon yayi murmushi.

      “Kai kana iya halittan kaddararka. Wasu basu iyawa.”

      Thor ya kifta ido – kuma jimkadan, Argon ya bace. Kuma.

      Thor ya juya, yana kallon kota ina, amma babu wani alamansa.

      Thor yajuya sai yaga wata katuwar dutse a gabansa. Yaji Kaman muryan yazo daga saman dutsen, sai yayi hanzari ya haura babban dutsen.

      Ya kai saman, amma ya kidime da baiga ko alaman Argon ba.
