Lullo is Ryzak’s grandson and the young woman’s son. Although Ovid briefly teaches Lullo some Latin, when the Child joins the village, Ovid shifts his attention to the new boy. Lullo resents both Ovid and the Child because of this. When the Child comes down with a terrible fever during the winter, it passes to Lullo, leading the old woman to believe that the Child’s demon is trying to steal Lullo’s soul. However, Lullo recovers.
