He was taken from his mother when three nights old, and it is not known where he now is, nor whether he is living or dead, and though thou find him yet the boar will never be slain save only with the sword of Gwrnach the giant, and if thou obtain it not neither shalt thou obtain my daughter. 'Horses shall I have, and knights from my lord Arthur.
'That is the castle of Gwrnach the giant, as all the world knows, answered the man, 'but no guest ever returned thence alive, and none may enter the gate except a craftsman, who brings his trade. But little did Arthur's men heed his warning, and they went straight to the gate. 'Open! cried Gwrhyr. 'I will not open, replied the porter. 'And wherefore? asked Kai.
"I will go and tell this unto Gwrnach the Giant, and I will bring thee an answer." So the porter went in, and Gwrnach said to him, "Hast thou any news from the gate?" "I have. There is a party at the door of the gate who desire to come in." "Didst thou inquire of them if they possessed any art?" "I did inquire," said he, "and one told me that he was well skilled in the burnishing of swords."
And he came and stood over against the Giant, as if he would have put the sword into the scabbard; and with it he struck at the head of the Giant, and cut off his head at one blow. Then they despoiled the castle, and took from it what goods and jewels they would. And again on the same day, at the beginning of the year, they came to Arthur's Court, bearing with them the sword of Gwrnach the Giant.
"We have need of him then. For some time have I sought for some one to polish my sword, and could find no one. Let this man enter, since he brings with him his craft." The porter thereupon returned and opened the gate. And Kai went in by himself, and he saluted Gwrnach the Giant. And a chair was placed for him opposite to Gwrnach.
'Bid the man come before me, cried Gwrnach, when the porter had told his tale, 'for my sword stands much in need of polishing, so Kai passed in and saluted Gwrnach the giant. 'Is it true what I hear of thee, that thou canst burnish swords? 'It is true, answered Kai. Then was the sword of Gwrnach brought to him.
