"Then," said Fedelma, "tell me a story from 'The Breastplate of Instruction, while we are crossing this field of white flowers." "I will tell you the first story that is in it," said the King's Son. Then while they were crossing the field of white flowers the King's Son told Fedelma the story of The Ass and the Seal
He ran out of the house. All the time he was running the cat-o'-the-mountain was trying to tear his eyes out. He made his way through woods and thickets, and mighty glad he was when he saw the tank at the gable-end of the house. The cat-'o-the-mountain dropped from his back then. He got into the tank and waited and waited. No message came from Fedelma.
"One feels their lives in music," he said; "great tones vibrate round the island where men live. It is very wonderful." "That," said the King's Son, "is the first story in 'The Breastplate of Instruction, 'The Ass and the Seal. And now you must tell me a story while we are crossing the field of blue flowers." "Then it will be a very little story," said Fedelma.
The thanks that was due to the Spae-Woman, she said she would give by her treatment of the maid who had given the token to her son Flann. And she prayed that Morag would soon come to the King's Castle. She went with her three brothers to the place where Flann and the King of Ireland's Son, Fedelma and Gilveen waited for them.
"I am the Little Sage of the Mountain," said he, "and what is it you want of me?" "To betroth us for marriage," said Fedelma. "I will do that. Come to my house, the pair of you. And as you are both young and better able to walk than I am it would be fitting to let me ride on your horse." The King's Son and Fedelma got off and the Little Sage of the Mountain got on the Slight Red Steed.
"I have helped you in everything," said Fedelma, "and in the last task I could not have helped you if you had not been true to me when Aefa and Gilveen brought you to them. Now the three tasks are done, and you can ask my father for one of his daughters in marriage. When you bring him the Ring of Youth he will ask you to make a choice. I pray that the one chosen will be myself."
Fedelma asked the King's Son to tell her another story, and thereupon he told her the second story in "The Breastplate of Instruction." The Story of the Young Cuckoo The young cuckoo made desperate attempts to get himself through the narrow opening in the hollow tree. He screamed when he failed to get through.
"And why should you do that?" said the King of Ireland's Son. "Because I would marry you," said Aefa. "But," said he, "if I live at all Fedelma is the one I will marry." No sooner did he say the words than Aefa screamed out, "Seize him, my cat-o'-the-mountain. Seize him and hold him." Then the cat-o'-the-mountain that was under the table sprang across the room and fixed himself on his shoulder.
"None other will I have but you, Fedelma, love of my heart," said the King of Ireland's Son. The King of Ireland's Son went into the house before the setting of the sun. The Enchanter of the Black Back-Lands was seated on his chair of gold. "Have you brought me the Ring of Youth?" he asked. "I have brought it," said the King's Son. "Give it to me then," said the Enchanter.
If to one go his kiss, if to one go his kiss, He may meet, he may meet, and not know me again. The girl on the other bank of the river passed on, and the King's Son and Fedelma with the Little Sage of the Mountain came to the meadow where the horse was. A heavy, slow-moving horse he seemed.
