The son of Lir turned then and went away in the direction of Ireland to take up his one-day rights, and Fiachna continued his battle with the Lochlannachs. He beat them before nightfall, and by that victory he became King of Lochlann and King of the Saxons and the Britons.
Vulcan was a smith; Thor wielded a hammer; even Fionn had a hammer, which was heard in Lochlann when struck in Eirinn.
He did not like the men of Lochlann at any time, but this time he moved against them in wrath, for not only were they attacking Ireland, but they had come between him and the deepest joy his life had known. It was a hard fight, but a short one. The Lochlannachs were driven back to their ships, and within a week the only Danes remaining in Ireland were those that had been buried there.
"Good luck to them for if they had been here they were drowned, every man of them," said the hermit with much content, looking at me with some wonder when I laughed. "They would not be the first by many a score whom we have buried here," he said in reproof. "Aye, heathen Lochlann and Christian Scot, and homely Erse yonder. It is good to see even a few who have escaped from this shore."
It was late when his foot touched the shore, and took the path towards the forest. On his way there met him a man in a red tunic. 'Is it you, Manus, come back again? asked he. 'It is I, answered Manus; 'alone have I returned from the land of Lochlann.
There is nothing more terrible than silence. Shame grows in that blank, or anger gathers there, and we must choose which of these is to be our master. That choice lay before Fionn, who never knew shame. "Goll," said he, "how long have you been taking tribute from the people of Lochlann?" "A long time now," said Goll. And he looked into an eye that was stern and unfriendly.
