But now, at night, a new and unexpected difficulty arose. Arawn's beautiful wife was evidently not in the secret, for she greeted Powell as her own husband. After dinner, when the telling of stories in the banqueting hall was over, the time had come for them to retire. BUT NOW AT NIGHT A NEW AND UNEXPECTED DIFFICULTY AROSE EREWINE'S BEAUTIFUL WIFE WAS EVIDENTLY NOT IN THE SECRET FOR SHE GREETED PAUL AS HER OWN HUSBAND AFTER DINNER WHEN THE TELLING OF STORIES IN THE BANQUETING HALL WAS OVER THE TIME HAD COME FOR THEM TO RETIRE
r. So Arawn asked Powell to help him against his enemy. He even made request that one year from that time, Powell should meet Hargan in battle. He told him that one stroke of his sword would finish the enemy. He must then sheathe his weapon, and not, on any account, strike a second time. To make victory sure, the Fairy King would exchange shapes with the mortal ruler and each take not only the place, but each the shape and form of the other. Powell must go into Fairy Land and govern the kingdom there, while Arawn should take charge of affairs at Dyfed. But Powell was warned, again, to smite down his enemy with a single stroke of his sword. If, in the heat of the conflict, and the joy of victory, Powell should forget, and give a second blow to Hargan, he would immediately come to life and be as strong as ever. Powell heeded well these words. Then, putting on the shape of Arawn, he went into Fairy Land, and no one noticed, or thought of anything different from the days and years gone by.
