Chapter 10 - The Victory - se̋ho से॓हो

• One dawn as she was looking out over the sea, she beheld the arrival of the twins in their swan-prowed bark.
• The sight gladdened her indeed and she wondered at the transformation of Athnor.
• But her first thought was of the danger in which they had put themselves,
• so that her first words to them were words of warning about the imminent return of the matron and the eventual return of the dark warrior.
• "Do not fear, sister, for we have overcome the obstacles in our path, his pet and her husband.
• We have not come this far to accept defeat.
• We have come to take you home."
• They hid the bark and the mare in the trees and went with Sulzi to the cavern.
• "We will observe what transpires in order to see how best to use our power."
• And they hid themselves in the dark corners of the cavern.
• That night they came out of the shadows and told Sulzi the story of their journey.
• "Now here is what you must do.
• Take these plant bulbs and add them to her peasoup.
• We will then know what Numta wants us to do next."
• Sulzi did as they had bidden her and added the bulbs to the peas as she cooked them.
• A marvelous fragrance filled the cavern
• and she was tempted to taste the food in the pot but forbore on remembering the words of the bee.
• As usual the daily tasks were completed by the time the matron arrived at the cavern.
• That evening as she approached the table, the matron said,
• "I heard the whinnying of a strange horse as I entered the cavern."
• "Oh no, Mother, you must have heard the wind sighing in the trees."
• "I smelt a strange odor as I entered the cavern."
• "I am afraid, Mother, that the parsley is going bad.
• I will pick fresh tonight after you have gone."
• Satisfied that all was in order the matron finished her supper.
• No sooner had she set down her spoon, then she cried out as if in pain.
• "You wicked child, what have you done?"
• When she moved to strike Sulzi, the twins leapt out of hiding, but defense was not necessary.
• The matron had begun to shrink and grow old.
