    Dante finds himself lost in a dark wilderness, feeling that even death would be better than this place. He encounters dangerous animals like a leopard, lion, and she-wolf. Virgil, a renowned poet from when he was alive, appears to Dante and advises him to follow a different path to be rescued from his circumstances. Virgil mentions they will meet a greyhound that will hunt the she-wolf and foretell the resurrection. However, Virgil cannot accompany Dante for the entire journey and must entrust him to the King of Time for the final part, as Virgil rebelled against the King of Time's law when he was alive.
