Another tale tells of Ronan, a skilled hunter who met the Wild Hunt deep in the forest. Desperate to save his family from starvation, he struck a bargain with Cernunnos, the horned lord of the wild, agreeing to serve for one year and one day in exchange for the return of game to the forest.

When his service ended, Ronan was returned home but forever changed, his eyes glowing like embers and his spirit tied to the wilderness. On certain nights, a ghostly hunter can be seen trailing behind the spectral host.
