The dancers and the winebearers were summoned back, and as the night wore on a banquet was spread and all the prophets bidden to be seated, Samahn, Ynath, Monith, Ynar Thun, the prophet of Journeys, Zornadhu, Yamen, Paharn, Ilana, Ulf, and one that had not spoken nor yet revealed his name, and who wore his prophet's cloak across his face.
And Paharn said: "There was one man that knew, but he stands not here." And the King said: "Is he further than my heralds might travel in the night if they went upon fleet horses?" And the prophet answered: "He is no further than thy heralds may well travel in the night, but further than they may return from in all the years.
But when Paharn ceased to speak, in the King's ears the roar of Brimdono exulting over ancient triumphs and the whelming of ships seemed still to ring. Then Mohontis spake, the hermit prophet, who lived in the deep untravelled woods that seclude Lake Ilana.
Then said the King: "Pray to those hard gods still, for those that have loved the earth with all its gardens and woods and singing streams will love earth still when it is old and cold and with all its gardens gone and all the purport of its being failed and nought but memories." Then spake Paharn, a prophet of the land of Hurn.
