But now the predicted wonder took place. She moved away from them, yet at a quiet pace that suited her.

So, to test his own courage, and worthiness of kingship, Powell assembled all his lords at Narberth. After the night's feasting, revelry and story telling, Powell declared that, next day, he would sit upon the enchanted mound. So when the sun was fully risen, Powell took his seat upon the mound, expecting that, all of a sudden, something unusual would happen. For some minutes nothing, whether event or vision, took place.

Yet she came not very near. "Does anyone among you know who this lady is?" asked Powell of his chieftains. "Not one of us," was the answer. Thereupon Powell ordered his vassals to ride forward. They were to greet her courteously, and inquire who she was.
