main character in the story, lost his innocence when exposed to the harsh
world since he learned what life is really like. Ultima is a good whitch
whom tries to guide Tony by teaching him morals and lessons. Narsico is
percieved as the town drunk, but is a good person. Tenorio is the demon
in this story, as he wants to destroy Ultima. This book is about Tony's
experience in adjusting to the rough world at a relatively young age.
Narsico's death with Tenorio's desire to kill Tony made him realize his

priest, he forgave his freind, Florence, for his sins, even though he
stood up to all his peers to do so.
