"The last time my daughter came home she said that Talyessin was on the isle since the new year, and that the wife of Talyessin tendered her a mother's care." "You see, you may believe me, friend Joel. Take me to-morrow to the island of Kellor; I shall see one of the ewaghs." "I consent. I shall take you to the island of Kellor." "And now you may loosen my bonds.
The younger ones of the druids received him as a brother, the elder ones as a son. Recognizing Julyan, the traveler said to him: "As you are to return to the brenn of the tribe, wait a little; I shall give you a letter for him." Julyan yielded to the wish of the stranger, who withdrew accompanied by Talyessin and other druids.
Take me to-morrow in your boat to the little island of Kellor." "Do you know that the ewaghs watch day and night?" "I know it. It was one of them who was to come for me this evening at the wharf of Erer to conduct me to Talyessin the oldest of the druids, who, at this hour, is at the Isle of Sen with his wife Auria." "That is true!" exclaimed Joel much surprised.
Talyessin, the oldest of all the druids, an old man with long white beard, made a sign to one of the bards, who thereupon struck his three-stringed harp and intonated the following chant, after pointing to the murderer: "This man is of the tribe of Morlech. He killed Houarne of the same tribe. Did he kill him, like a brave man face to face with equal weapons?
"He refused to give me his name! Do you know it, daughter? Do you know which is his native province?" "He was impatiently waited for yesterday evening at the Isle of Sen by the venerable Talyessin.
He seemed to be struck with respect and answered that Talyessin, the oldest of the living druids, who then was at the Isle of Sen together with his wife Auria, expected a traveler since the previous evening. Before leaving Joel, the stranger said to his host: "I hope neither you nor your family will forget your resolution of yesterday.
In their impatience to see and know the mysteries of the other world, a large number of men and women of the tribes rushed towards Julyan's pyre for the purpose of departing with him and of offering to Hesus an immense hecatomb with their bodies. But Talyessin, the eldest of the druids, ordered the ewaghs to restrain and hold these faithful people back.
Happy at being able so soon to join his friend, Julyan was about to leave Karnak, when he saw the stranger, who had been the guest of Joel and who now returned from the Isle of Sen, approaching through the forest in the company of Talyessin. The latter said a few words to the other druids, who forthwith surrounded the traveler with great eagerness and marks of respect.
