Kulombhalo oyisithenjwa ofingqa indaba yencwadi ethi INkosi Ephakeme, inkemba iDyrnwyn yalahlekelwa kanjani amandla ayo?
Context:Indaba iqala ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje ngemva kokuphela kweTaran Wanderer. Njengoba kusondela ubusika, uTaran nomngane wakhe uGurgi babuya ekuzulazuleni kwabo eCaer Dallben ngemuva kokuthola izindaba ezivela kuKaw igwababa ukuthi iNkosikazi u-Eilonwy ibuyile ivela e-Isle of Mona. Eqinisweni, bamthola ekhaya, kanye nomphathi wakhe iNkosi uRhun yaseMona kanye nowayengumuntu omkhulu uGlew, owayebuyiselwe esimweni somuntu ngomlingo ngempuphu evela kuDallben.  Ngaphambi kokuba uTaran akwazi ukucela u-Eilonwy, inkosi yama-bard uFflewddur Fflam nesilwane sayo uLlyan bafika noGydyon, iNkosana kaDon, olimele kanzima. Izinceku zika-Arawn zazibahlasele futhi zathatha inkemba emnyama enomlingo iDyrnwyn. UFflewddur uphinde athi uTaran wayebandakanyekile ekuhlaseleni, edida wonke umuntu. Ngosizo luka-Achren, iqiniso selinqunyiwe: U-Arawn uqobo ufikile evela e-Annuvin waya emaphethelweni eCaer Dallben esembathise uTaran, ukuze adonsele uGydyon emgodini.  Ngenxa yokuthi uDyrnwyn angaba usongo olukhulu ku-Arawn, uDallben uthintana nengulube eyimboni uHen Wen ukuthola ukuthi ingabuyiselwa kanjani. Phakathi nokufundwa, izinduku zomlotha ezisetshenziselwa ukuxhumana ziyaqhekeka futhi izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zempendulo kaHen Wen ziyadumaza futhi azicacile. Lapho uGwydion esephulukiswe ngokwanele, uhamba noTaran nabanye ukuyohlangana neNkosi uSmoit. UGwydion ugcizelela ukuthi nguye yedwa okufanele angene e-Annuvin ayofuna inkemba, kodwa iCantrev Cadiffor kaSmoit isendleleni. Iqembu elincane lihlukana, njengoba uRhun no-Eilonwy behlose ukuvakashela imikhumbi kaMona endleleni.  Lapho uGwydion, uTaran, nabanye befika eCaer Cadarn, baboshwa uMagg, owayengumphathi omkhulu kaMona, ongathembekile, osebenze no-Arawn futhi wathatha inqaba. Lapho u-Eilonwy esondela neqembu eliphikisayo, uthola ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle futhi ngokucophelela bathumela uFflewddur Fflam enqabeni njengebhadi. Ngemva kokujabulisa amasosha ubusuku bonke, uyabuya nezindaba ezimbi. Khona-ke abangane bahlangana noGwystyl weFair Folk ngaphandle kwenqaba, esendleleni eya ekhaya ngemuva kokuvala indlela eseduze ne-Annuvin, uqobo ephethe imibono yokugcina eNkosini u-Eiddileg mayelana nokulungiselela impi ngamabutho ka-Arawn. Ngosizo lukaGywstyl nokugcina intuthu yemilingo, imililo, nokufihla, abangane bangena futhi bakhulule iziboshwa. Nokho, leli cebo lihamba kabi; iNkosi uSmoit namadoda akhe bagcina bekwazile ukuthatha izintambo kuphela ngokungenelela kukaRhun, okubiza impilo yakhe.  Ukufunda kuGwystyl ngemisebenzi e-Annuvin, uGwydion uphenduka ekufuneni iDyrnwyn ukuhlela impi eCaer Dathyl. UGwystyl, uFflewddur, noTaran bayahamba bayothola ukusekelwa, ngokulandelana kwabakwaFair Folk, imibuso esenyakatho, kanye nabakwaFree Commots. UKaw, othunywe nguTaran ukuba ayohlola isitha, uhlaselwa yiGwythaints ngenkathi ecasha eduze kwase-Annuvin, kodwa uyakwazi ukufinyelela eMedwyn, ocela zonke izidalwa zasemoyeni nezomhlaba ukuthi ziphikise amabutho ka-Arawn. UTaran, uColl, u-Eilonwy, noGurgi baqoqa amaComot, abahlanganisa ubungane babo noTaran, futhi abathumele ukuba bahambe ngamaqembu baye eCaer Dathyl ngenkathi abakhandi bezinsimbi nabathungi abaqoqwe nguHevydd noDwyvach besebenza imini nobusuku ukuze babahlomise.  Ngokushesha ngemva kokuba uTaran namaCommots okugcina befinyelele eCaer Dathyl, iNkosi uPryderi ifika ivela ezifundeni ezisentshonalanga. Emkhandlwini umemezela ukwethembeka kwakhe okusha ku-Arawn, ukuze kube kuhle kubo bonke, ngoba "u-Arawn uzokwenza lokho Amadodana kaDon ahlulekile ukukwenza: Yenza ukuphela kwezimpi ezingapheli phakathi kwama-cantrevs, futhi ulethe ukuthula lapho kwakungekho khona ngaphambili". Wenqatshwa ngokuphelele kodwa uvunyelwa ukuba abuyele ebuthweni lakhe engalimalanga, futhi ngosuku olulandelayo impi iyaqala. Yize iNdodana kaDon kanye nabangane bayo ekuqaleni benakho okungcono kakhulu, iCauldron-Born ifika ngobuningi ngaphambi kokuhlwa, igcwale abalingani futhi icekele phansi iCaer Dathyl.  Njengoba iNkosi Ephakeme uMath isibulewe, u Gwydion umenyezelwa njengeNkosi Ephakeme entsha. Njengoba iningi le-Cauldron-Born lisatshalaliswa ngaphandle kwe-Annuvin, uGydyon unquma ukuthi ithuba elihle kakhulu ukuhlasela ngenkathi ligadwe ngabantu abafayo kuphela. Uzohola i-Sons of Don ukuba ilinde imikhumbi ogwini olusenyakatho futhi ihlasele olwandle, ngenkathi uTaran ehola amaCommots ukubambezela ukubuya kweCauldron-Born, njengoba amandla abo encipha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi nebanga ukusuka e-Annuvin.  UTaran kanye nebutho lakhe bayakwazi ukubamba amaqhawe aseCauldron-Born akhathele ngaphezu kobude bengalo ngamandla amakhulu, futhi baphendule umashi usuka emzileni oqondile futhi olula ungene emagqumeni anamadwala, yize uColl efa empini. Ngenxa yenkampani yeFair Folk, nezilwane ezithunyelwe yiMedwyn, babulala iningi labazingeli abahamba nabahola abafileyo. Ekugcineni iCauldron-Born iyaphuma emagqumeni ibuyele emzileni osezansi. Njengoba bevuselela amandla njengoba besondela e-Annuvin, bekungaba yize ukuthi amabutho aphelelwe amandla ahlangane nabo ubuso nobuso futhi, ngakho-ke nakanjani bathatha indlela ende, elula eya enqabeni ka-Arawn.  UTaran kanye nebutho lakhe lonke bagcina befinyelele e-Annuvin ngokuhlanganisa indlela eqondile, indlela yasezintabeni kaDoli, kanye nomgwaqo oyimfihlo phezu kweNtaba iDragon eyaboniswa yi-Achren. UTaran uyabona ukuthi ukunqoba sekuseduze ezandleni zikaGydyons, kodwa futhi nokuthi abakwaCauldron-Born sebezofika e-Annuvin. Ethukile, uTaran wacishe wawa eNtabeni iDragon, kodwa wasindiswa uGwythaint owayesekhulile ayemkhulule eminyakeni eminingi edlule (The Book of Three). Emzameni wokulwa neqembu labazalwa eCauldron abamthole entabeni, ugingqa itshe kubo, futhi uthola uDyrnwyn emgodini itshe elalihlala kuwo. Esebenzisa uDyrnwyn, uTaran ubulala iqhawe elingafi elisondela ukuze limbulale, futhi ngaleso sikhathi bonke abazalwa eCauldron bafa njengamuntu oyedwa.  Iqembu likaTaran liyangena empini, futhi impi iyaqhubeka emagcekeni ase-Annuvin. UTaran ucishe akhohliswe u-Arawn - osethathe isimo sikaGwydion - ukuba anikele ngenkemba. Ngemva kokunqotshwa kwamabutho ka-Arawn, abangane bahlangana phambi kweHholo Elikhulu. U-Achren ukhomba u-Arawn ngesimo senyoka eseduze elungiselela ukushaya uTaran futhi ambambe. Uyishaya ngokuyibulala, kodwa uTaran uyayibulala ngoDyrnwyn. Ngokufa kuka-Arawn, inqaba ka-Annuvin iyaqhuma futhi iwela emanxiweni, ibhubhise zonke izinsimbi zemilingo ngaphakathi; nguGurgi kuphela okwazile ukusindisa imiqulu eminingana equkethe ulwazi lokulima, ukwakha nezinye izinto. Inkemba yaseDyrnwyn iqala ukufiphala, ilahlekelwe amandla ayo.  Abangane baya eCaer Dallben, lapho u Gwydion ebatshela khona ukuthi ngokunqoba Amadodana kaDon, nazo zonke izihlobo nezihlobo, kumele babuyele e-Summer Country. Ngempela, bonke labo abasenamandla omlingo bayohamba, futhi iFair Folk neMedwyn bavale imibuso yabo kwabangaphandle. UDallben no-Eilonwy nabo kumelwe bahambe, futhi abanye abaye bakhonza kahle, kuhlanganise noTaran, banikezwa ithuba lokuba bahambe nabo. Ekugcineni uTaran ucela u-Eilonwy umshado, futhi uyavuma.  Amadodana kaDon ahlela ukuhamba ngosuku olulandelayo. Nokho, uTaran uba nomuzwa wokungajabuli ngesinqumo sakhe kungazelelwe. Abathakathi u-Orddu, u-Orwen no-Orgoch bavela phambi kwakhe futhi bamembulela ukuthi nabo bayahamba, futhi bamshiya ne-tapestry engaqediwe ekhombisa impilo yakhe. Uyabona ukuthi kunomsebenzi omningi okumelwe wenziwe ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha iPrydain, futhi wenze izithembiso eziningi; ngakho-ke unquma ukuhlala emuva. U-Eilonwy uyakwazi ukudela imvelo yakhe yemilingo ukuze ahlale naye, futhi laba ababili bashada.  UDallben wembula ukuthi ngalolu hambo lokugcina, uTaran uqedile indlela eyaprofethwa eNcwadini Yabathathu lapho intandane "engenaso isikhundla empilweni" izolandela Amadodana kaDon njengeNkosi Ephakeme. UDallben wayehambe eyofuna umuntu onjalo futhi ezama ukusheshisa usuku lokunqotshwa kuka-Arawn; kulolu hambo, wathola ingane, efihlwe ezihlahleni eceleni kwenkundla yempi futhi ngaphandle kwanoma iyiphi uphawu lokuba ngumzali, futhi wayithatha ngaphansi kwegama elithi Taran. UTaran uthola izipho eziningi, kuhlanganise neNcwadi Yabathathu uqobo lwayo, nakuba amandla ayo, njengawo wonke umlingo ePrydain, nawo aye aphela ngokufa kuka-Arawn, okushiya kuphela njengengqikithi yokuphila kukaTaran. Ekanye no-Eilonwy eceleni kwakhe, uTaran wamukela umthwalo wakhe wemfanelo omusha futhi wamukelwa ngabangane bakhe nabangane bempi njengenkosi entsha ephakeme.
Lapho uTaran ebulala u-Arawn noDyrnwyn enqabeni yase-Annuvin, yonke imishini yemilingo eyayingaphakathi yacekeleka phansi - noDyrnwyn naye walahlekelwa umlingo wakhe.
