The Dervife Alfouran and the Seekers of Fire
A religious tale of Alfouran the Dervise in Bafora who draws Sandallah and Sanda Had into austere rites atop a sacred mountain. The youth endures a three day fasting ordeal while temptations of rich foods are burned on a rock altar. Sandallah remains devoted though barred from the final rite, as a mysterious old man appears at midnight near the cell door.
