The Adventures of Sir Garym
The Countess sports a half smile and nods her thanks, "thank you for your kind words. Although you may disagree, I feel that I owe you both for the information you have provided. It is not often that I can learn so many things in so short a period."
Looking at the knight she asks, "Sir Garym, there was mention of a banner with a truffle on it, do you still have it?"
Sir Garym produces the banner, which has been rolled up since he left Twlc Mochyn and finds that it now sports a golden fish on a green field, rather than a truffle.
Lady Arianwen gasps, "that is my father's symbol," she announces, surprised.
Fiona smiles knowingly, "if you would allow me, Sir Garym, I will have my seamstress make this into a tabbard that you can wear. My gift to you is twofold, first, I can explain a bit about the prophesies and second, I can help you to defeat the boar."
With a scowl she explains, "the prophesy is typical of its kind. It is deceptive and self-fulfilling. Without the prophesy, Arianwen's brother doesn't go looking for the spear and doesn't get captured by the Faerie King, the spear is not stolen, and Arianwen does not trade herself for her brother, and she doesn't escape and get found by Sir Garym, and he does not recover the spear in order to release her from the spell. Because, you see, the prophesy does not relate to Arianwen's brother, it relates to you, Sir Garym."
