Summary:

“You – the pair of you – will soon need to be on your way north. Caer Dathyl now sits there ruined and empty, awaiting her renewer and king. And,” Dallben added, for the first time that day directing his entire attention toward Eilonwy, “her comforter and queen.”

She shuddered at that, but tried to hide it from him, and from Taran.
