Specific examples and quotes of hero

“[...]All the dramatics of the recounts that followed stemmed purely from the startled and fearful imaginations of the younglings, and the only thing upon which they agreed to disagree was the question of whether he was indeed a legendary hero, or rather one of the wolves, the leader of the pack, who merely changed into a man upon the interruption, thus commanding his pack to hold themselves aback. After all, everyone knew wolves were unlikely to yield, to either men or words of reason, especially when they were joined in a pack. Eventually, they accepted the later option to be more likely. Thus, it was decided that Berek was a wolf who had merely changed into a man. It was surely pleasant to agree upon something, even when sooth eluded either version of the dilemma.”
