Η Όλι λάτρευε τα λατινικά. Ίσως επειδή είναι μία νεκρή γλώσσα, όπως κι εκείνη.

-Μεσσηνία, 1768 Έλεγαν ότι τον έχει γεννήσει και μεγαλώσει λύκαινα. Δε μπορούσαν αλλιώς να εξηγήσουν τη σκληρότητα και την απονιά με την οποία άρπαζε, έκλεβε, μαχαίρωνε, σάρωνε τα χωριά στα οποία πάταγε το πόδι του αυτός και το μπουλούκι του. Άλλοι τον φώναζαν θερίο, άλλοι κατάρα της θάλασσας. Το πραγματικό του όνομα χαμένο πίσω από το μύθο του τρόμου που είχε δημιουργηθεί γύρω από τα ανταριασμένα πράσινα μάτια του. Η Αρετή Βεργή είναι κόρη του προεστού της περιοχής της και δε χορταίνει να ακούει ιστορίες για πειρατές, με τη φαντασία της να καλπάζει για το πώς ο αρραβωνιαστικός της θα τους κατατροπώσει όλους και ειδικά το Γιο της λύκαινας. Αυτόν το τελευταίο τον βλέπει ακόμα και στον ύπνο της, κάθε φορά και με διαφορετική μορφή. Δεν φανταζόταν όμως ποτέ ότι θα τον έβλεπε με σάρκα και οστά μπροστά της. Και ότι θα την παρέσερνε στην τρελή του πορεία.
