The Gwythiant grappled onto his shoulder with his talons. Taran waited for it to pierce his neck. He waited and it never happened. Could this be the Gwythaint Taran ursed to health as a child? Yes! It urged Taran to let go and he did. The large bird struggled against the heavy wait of him but never the less it pulled hgim up to the ledge. He stood up and noticed a hord of Cauldron Born had seen the action and were almost upon him. The Gwythaint dived into them but the Cauldron Born just killed the bird. They were alsmot on him. He had no wepaon he was about to die. He noticed a loose boulder above him. He climbed up to it and pushed. It fell onto the Cauldron Born and nocked them down, all except one. It was now only a couple of feet away from him. He noticed in the creator where the boulder was was Drynwyn sheathed in its scabbard. He grabbed it and unsheathed it. The sword lit up in flames. He stabbed the Cauldron Born in the heart. The deathless beast shout out a scream and fell over dead. Taran hurried down into Arawn stronghold. Inside he found Gwydion. Gwydion looked at the sword and said some rude things. Taran realized it was Arawn in diguise. He swung Drynwyn at him but Arawn had already floated through the floor. Achren ran into the basement after him. He saw Magg. He was sitting on the throne. He claimed he was now the death lord and put the crown on. It glowed white and burnt Magg's skull killing him. Suddenly Achren burst out of the chamber holding a snake. It bit her in the neck and she fell over dead too. Taran choppeed the snake in half with Drynwyn. The snake turned into Arawn and he died. All evil vanished. Meanwhile Gurgi and Glew were in the treasure chamber. Glew grabbed some treasure and everything went up oin flames. Gurgi and Glew barely escaped.
The flame on Drywyn vanished along with its powers. The encyption was now clear. It said that whoever posessed this sword had the power to kill Arawn. It also had the power to kill the death less Cauldron Born. This is why Arawn shuned it. Gwydion met up with Taran. Taran explained everything. They talked and relaxed for a while talking now releaved of the evil of Arawn. peace now fell over Prydain for the last of the Huntsmen were hunted down. Everyone rejoiced and everything seemed perfect.
