The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It is full of death and suffering.

This is what Gwydion himself would order.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Gwydion made no more sound than the shadow of a bird. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “There is a more serious weaving,” said Gwydion, slipping the net into his own jacket.

The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “Lord Gwydion,” he said, “I did not intend insolence.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z As Taran and his friends were about to take their leave, Gwydion called to them. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Dragging him along, Gwydion dropped to the earth under an oak tree’s spreading branches. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z He spoke these words with some effort; in the back of his mind he yearned to find the cauldron, to bring it in triumph to Gwydion. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I had hoped this would not happen,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z He waited for Gwydion’s reprimand, but the warrior’s green eyes followed the dark specks. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “They would have your head off your shoulders before you could think twice about it,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Dawn had broken when Gwydion halted at the edge of a barren field. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “That is why your sacrifice was all the more difficult,” Gwydion said. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “And with Gwydion? You lost no chance to make that known.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I think they must be the worst,” said Taran, quickening his pace to keep up with Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Go swiftly,” Gwydion said, reaching out his hand. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I fear the Cauldron-Born more when they cannot be seen,” Gwydion said, after calling the warriors around him. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Taran began, as he noticed a black and battered weapon at Gwydion’s side. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Gwydion orders us to fall back immediately,” the bard went on in great excitement. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z They reined their horses sharply, dismounted without hesitation, and ran swiftly toward Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Oh, he is not bad at heart,” Gwydion answered. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion looked around and then nodded with satisfaction. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “It is easy to judge evil unmixed,” replied Gwydion. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Disregarding him, Gwydion motioned for them all to descend the slope. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion knelt and quickly traced lines in the earth. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “How long you wait for your crunchings and munchings,” Gwydion said, “depends on how quickly you tell us what we want to know. Have you seen a white pig this morning?” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion was watching the creature with a look of severity and annoyance. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion was at Taran’s side as the first rider bore down on them. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It is not the wound that pains me,” said Gwydion with a bitter smile. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z ‘Why do you choose death, Lord Gwydion?’ she cried, ‘when I can offer you eternal life and power beyond the grasp of mortal minds?’ The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I was not in Spiral Castle when it crumbled,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Surely this, too, had to do with Gwydion’s council. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Later, he and Gwydion spent several hours alone, for there were important matters Gwydion would reveal only to the old enchanter. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Or,” he added reluctantly in a low voice, “there is my horse, Melynlas, a colt of Melyngar, Prince Gwydion’s own steed. None is faster or more surefooted. I treasure Melynlas beyond all others.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z As Gwydion helped him rise, Taran still stared in disbelief at the simple attire and the worn, lined face. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I’m awfully flattered you mistook me for Prince Gwydion. There’s hardly any resemblance, except possibly a certain air of...” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion pointed to a faint circle of trampled grass. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “There may be hope that Gwydion still lives.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion leading, the horsemen moved through the swirling mist. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z The great sword swung a glittering arc, the flashing blade sang above Gwydion’s head. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “The thing has somehow got to be found and destroyed without delay. Gwydion will plan a new search from Caer Cadarn. It would seem our work has just begun.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Taran grew so absorbed in not making noise that he soon lagged far behind Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Taran’s jaw dropped and he looked so thunderstruck that Gwydion threw back his head and burst into laughter. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Fortunately you did not unsheathe it entirely,” Gwydion said to Taran. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z The last time Taran had seen him, Gwydion wore the raiment of a prince of the royal House of Don. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I shall not weary you with a long tale,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z At the line of trees, Gwydion thrust Taran from the saddle and leaped down. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Only to Gwydion did he bow; then, taking a seat at the table, he cast a cool glance of appraisal on those around him. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Of the Huntsmen there was no sign; and Gwydion believed that Arawn, learning of the Crochan’s destruction, had summoned them to return. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Hissing, she struck at Gwydion and her blood-red nails raked his cheek. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z With a quick gesture, Gwydion thrust a hand into his jacket and pulled out the net of grass. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Taran remembered how valiantly she had fought for Gwydion, but she was tethered now and he dared not break away from the defenders to untie her. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It shall be as you command, Lord Gwydion.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I have no intention of smacking your poor, tender head,” said Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z At a small stream Taran halted to fill Gwydion’s leather water flask. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z His own quest had been for Hen Wen; Gwydion’s, to warn the Sons of Don. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Arawn sent his warriors to slay us,” cried Gwydion, “and here they stand in your council hall. Do you say that you know nothing more?” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion, whose eyes were everywhere at once, caught sight of them instantly. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “This is a part of what I have journeyed so far to learn,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion hauled Taran into the saddle behind him, spoke a quiet command, and the white steed moved quickly into the rising mist. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I have heard Lord Gwydion was traveling in my realm. Beyond that...” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Is this the honor we gain from following Gwydion? To let ourselves be tracked down like animals? Or do you fear them too much?” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I need information she alone possesses,” Gwydion said quickly. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Morgant’s riders had been slain or captured as Gwydion’s voice rose in command to cease the combat. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z It was all he could do to swallow his impatience and not ask Gwydion, then and there, what his task would be. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “Your gallant tales are worth all the harp strings in Prydain. And you, Taran and Doli, must promise to tell me more of your famous deeds. But first, I must find Lord Gwydion.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “The fact is, you did not,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Are you badly hurt?” asked Gwydion, striving to raise his head. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion strode to the riverbank and stood watching the gwythaints’ flight. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Will you now be a murderer? We are under the protection of Gwydion; you will not escape his wrath!” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Perhaps, he thought, because he was speaking for Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z A moment later Gwydion, followed by King Morgant, strode back along the trail. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z As he poured out an account of the morning’s events, Gwydion listened intently. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z No blood followed as Gwydion ripped the weapon free; the Cauldron-Born shook himself once, without a grimace, and moved again to the attack. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Yes,” he said coldly, “Gwydion shall have justice.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Taran dared once again to speak to Gwydion, but the lash cut his words short. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “In a way,” answered Gwydion, “that is something we must all discover for ourselves. Our meeting was fortunate,” he went on. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Then I beg you to help us carry out his wishes and the wishes of Gwydion Prince of Don,” Taran went on. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Gwydion quickly returned the blade to its scabbard. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Raging, she cast me into the lowest dungeon,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It is no fault of yours. I trusted Gwydion’s life to a traitor and liar. My own life should be forfeit.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z What had happened to Gwydion he dared not imagine. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Alone and apart, Gwydion leaned heavily on the black sword Dyrnwyn, his shaggy head bent, his weathered face filled with sorrow. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I just don’t want anyone, not even Gwydion, dreaming up another scheme to have me turn invisible.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I had not foreseen this,” Gwydion murmured, when Taran had finished. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion, watchful, sat with his knees drawn up, his back against an enormous elm. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion was seeking the spot where Taran had last seen Hen Wen. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “As I grasp the situation,” said the bard, “I think you’re taking too much blame on yourself. You had no way of knowing Gwydion wasn’t in the dungeon.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z After much searching, Gwydion discovered Hen Wen’s tracks once more. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “We must go again on foot,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It may be,” he said, after a pause, “that we would be wiser returning to Gwydion. King Morgant and his warriors can lend us their strength.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “You are right in saying ‘if,’” Gwydion answered. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion was satisfied with their progress, though he warned them the most difficult and dangerous portion of their journey was to come. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z His back to the tree, Gwydion faced the four remaining warriors. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “One thing you can be sure of,” the bard said under his breath, “Gwydion isn’t planning a harvest festival. Do you see who’s here?” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I am proud to serve Lord Gwydion, and there is a chance to win much honor, more than by washing pigs and weeding gardens!” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “Don’t tell me Ellidyr wasn’t to blame somehow. He’s a troublemaker, I can see it. I can’t imagine what Gwydion was thinking of when he brought him along.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z In a dark passageway of stone, Taran struggled with his captors, fighting to reach Gwydion’s side. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Instead of the stained cloak and coarse jacket, Gwydion wore the shining raiment of a prince. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Lord Gwydion,” Eilonwy called, as he rose to leave, “what was the Horned King’s secret name?” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Gwydion has told me a little of you, and I have seen you for myself. I am a warrior and recognize good mettle.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “Your friendship with Gwydion is no shield to me,” said Ellidyr. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z A little way on, Gwydion stopped, raised his shaggy head, and narrowed his eyes toward a distant ridge. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z The air was gentle as though a summer day had lingered beyond its season, but Gwydion’s words chilled him like a sudden cold wind. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Gwydion saddled Melyngar and, clinging to the shadows, they set out across the moonlit hills. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I am losing patience with you,” warned Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “The bards of the north still sing of it,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z As Gwydion rose and went to her, Taran glimpsed a shadow dart behind a bush. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “There will be meat enough for you to chew on,” answered Gwydion with a grim smile. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z At the ash tree, Gwydion’s blade rang and clashed among the leaves. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z They were swift, even as Gwydion had warned. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “She has disappeared too completely,” said Gwydion, bringing provisions from the saddlebags. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I chose you,” Gwydion said, not unkindly, “more for your sword than for your harp.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Despite Taran’s disappointment at finding the Lord Gwydion dressed in a coarse jacket and mud-spattered boots, he followed the man with growing admiration. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Do you love danger so much?” asked Gwydion. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Soon the cauldron would be in Gwydion’s hands and the long task ended. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z His thought led Taran to wonder again what else Gwydion had expected to learn from Hen Wen. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion turned, taking the sword point in his side. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Near a jagged rock, Gwydion halted and gave a cry of triumph. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “No wonder Gwydion could find no tracks,” Taran murmured to himself. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Before Gwydion could speak again, the Horned King, bearing a torch, rode to the wicker baskets and thrust the fire into them. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “I hope you will all be as eager to accomplish your tasks once they are set out,” said Gwydion, drawing a sheet of parchment from his jacket and spreading it on the table. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z As his memory returned, he recalled that Gwydion had been with him only briefly; he had not seen the guards put him in a cell; Taran had only guessed at that. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Smoit, my friend,” replied Gwydion firmly but with affection, “this is a choice to be made without persuasion from you.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z With a shout, Gwydion hurled the dazzling mesh into the warrior’s face. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z The pale warriors strode forward and dragged Taran and Gwydion from the hall. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “You need not be so surprised,” Gwydion said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Gwydion had called out to him once—or so Taran believed—he could not recall his friend’s words, perhaps even that had been part of the nightmare. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “And in the second place,” Eilonwy continued, ignoring the bard, “if you’ve got any news about it, the only wise thing is to find Gwydion and tell him what you know.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “I wish Gwydion had let me go with him,” Taran said with a certain bitterness. The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Gwydion had sunk into the forest itself; only his green-flecked eyes shone in the reflection of the newly risen moon. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “There is no use regretting what has happened,” said Gwydion, as they set out again. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “That is no greeting from a friend to a friend,” said Gwydion, gently raising Taran to his feet. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “King Eiddileg commanded me to come here. A special favor to Gwydion. But I can tell you right now I’d rather be back home in the realm of the Fair Folk, minding my own business.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Gwydion stood as a wolf at bay, his green eyes glittering, his teeth bared. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Gwydion told me the birds are trained when young,” Taran said. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Do with us what you will, but sooner or later you shall be overcome. Gwydion shall learn of our fate. And Dallben...” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “That is cleverly done,” said Taran, watching Gwydion’s rapidly moving fingers. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Gwydion and I saw them before we were captured. Now, if Gurgi speaks the truth, they have gathered reinforcements.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Prince Gwydion gave it to me. Do you see the stone? It was carved by the Fair Folk.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z “You must learn to answer for your own folly,” said Gwydion. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “It is not thus that Gwydion Son of Don deals with a wounded...” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Perhaps you do not understand. I offer you something you cannot have even if I loosened your hands and gave back your weapon. By that, Lord Gwydion, I mean—your life.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “If you are lying to me,” said Gwydion, “I shall soon find out. Then I will surely come back with wrath.” The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z The weary and discouraged Taran could barely force himself to put one foot in front of the other, and was glad the dusk obliged Gwydion to halt. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z Our quest grows ever more urgent,” Gwydion hastily continued. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z With a single, firm gesture, Gwydion drew the blade and held it aloft. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z He turned once for a last look in the direction of Spiral Castle, Gwydion’s burial mound. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “You should understand by now,” said Gwydion, “that of what he knows, Dallben tells little. Yes, there is to be a council, and I have summoned others to meet us here.” The Black Cauldron 1965-06-01T00:00:00Z Thus, she intended to keep Gwydion alive; perhaps, Taran thought wretchedly, Gwydion would be better off dead. The Book of Three 1964-03-12T00:00:00Z “Take heed, all of you,” Gwydion went on.
