Chapter 21 Section five

Lebannen stood by the ruined wall and watched the dawn dawn in the east.Where there used to be no direction and nowhere to go, now there is the East.The earth trembled like a gigantic beast shaking and trembling, causing the undamaged parts to shake and collapse into rubble.From the far, dark mountain called Torment comes the flame, the fire that burns in the heart of the world, the fire that feeds the dragons. He looked into the sky over the mountains and saw dragons flying on the morning wind, just as Ged had seen them in the Western Sea. The two-headed dragon turned and flew towards the place where everyone was standing, near the top of the mountain and higher than the broken wall.Lebannen recognized two of them as Orm Irian and Kailasim, and the third dragon had shiny golden leather armor and golden wings.The dragon flew the highest, and did not fly low toward the people, but Omm Irian circled it in the air, and together they flew higher and higher, chasing each other, until the highest rays of the rising sun suddenly shone on Tehanu, She is as bright and burning as her name suggests, a bright superstar.

Kailasin circled again, flying low, and the huge figure landed between the broken walls. "Agnes Lebanon," said the dragon to the king. "Longevity," said the king to the dragon. "Essarden Furnardenen," said loud and hissed like waves of cymbals. Next to Lebannen, the summoner Rod stood firmly, repeating the dragon's words in the language of creation, and then in the language of Hittite: "The things that were once separated are now separated." Master Xingyi stood near the two, his hair glowing in the lightening sky, and said, "What was once built is now broken; what was once broken is now whole."

He looked up longingly at the sky, at the golden dragon and the copper dragon, but they were almost out of sight now, swirling like a maelstrom over the long stretches of low-sloping land, the phantom cities that had been empty and lost in the light of day no trace. "The Longevity One." Azifor called, and slowly turned his slender head towards him. "Does she follow the road back to the forest occasionally?" Azver asked in Draconic. Kailasin's slender, bottomless golden eyes stared at Azifu, and his huge lizard-like mouth seemed to close into a smile, speechless.

Kailasin marched along the wall, and the still standing stones slid and collapsed under the friction of the iron belly. It twisted away, and with a burst of flapping and knocking of its wings, it flew away from the hillside and flew low across the land towards the mountains.The summit is now bright with smoke, white vapour, fire, and sunlight. "Come on, friend," Saipo said in a soft voice, "Our time to be free has not yet come." Daylight was already on the tops of the tallest trees, and the cold gray light of morning still remained in the clearing.Tenar sat on the ground, touching Alder's hand, and bent her face down, looking at the cold dewdrops on the hanging blades of grass, at the small, slender drops hanging from the edges of the blades of grass, and each drop reflected the world.

Someone said her name, but she didn't look up. "He's gone," Tenar said. Master Xingyi knelt down beside her, and touched Chi Yang's face with his gentle hands. He knelt in silence for a moment, and then he said in Tenar's language, "Lady, I saw Tehanu flying on his wind with golden light all over her body." Tenar glanced up at Master Xingyi. He was pale and tired, but there was pride in his eyes. She struggled and spoke in a hoarse, almost unrecognizable tone: "Complete?" He nodded. She caressed Alder's hand, which was the repairer's hand, clean and dexterous.Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Let me stay with him for a while." After she finished speaking, she began to cry.She buried her face in her hands, and wept bitterly, bitterly, and quietly. Azifor walked towards a small group of people by the door.Hei Yao and A Bei stood near the summoner, and the heavy and anxious summoner stood beside the princess.The princess crouched beside Lebannin, shielding him with her arms to protect him and not allowing any wizard to touch him. Her eyes shot out, and she was holding an unsheathed dagger that belonged to Lebannin in her hand. "I'm coming back with the king," Rod said to Azifort. "I tried to stay with the king, not sure how to go. The princess won't let me near the king."

"Kanai." Azfo said the title in Karg language: princess. The princess looked at Azifu, and shouted: "Thank you Ava and Uro, praise the mother of the earth! Lord Azifu, tell these damn warlocks to go away! Kill them! They killed my king." She He stretched out the slender iron knife towards Azifu, and handed over the dagger. "No, princess, the king went with Irian the Dragon, but this magician brought the king back to us. Let me see the king." Azifer knelt down, turned Lebanin's face slightly to look carefully, and put his hands together. on his chest. "The king is very cold, and the journey back is very difficult. Princess, hold the king in your arms and keep him warm."

"I've been trying to do that," said the princess, biting her lower lip, throwing down her dagger, and leaning over the unconscious man. "Oh, poor king!" King, poor king!" Azifor stood up and said to the summoner, "Road, I think the king is fine, the princess is much more useful than us these days." The master summoner stretched out his giant palm and supported Azifu: "Stand firm." "Master Gatekeeper..." Azifor asked, his face paler than before, and he looked around the open space. "He's back with Wizard Parn," said Rhodes. "Azifort, sit down."

Azfoy said, sitting on the wooden block where the old change master was sitting when everyone was sitting in a circle in the open space the afternoon before yesterday.It seems like a thousand years ago, the change master went back to the academy in the evening, and then the long night began... This night made the stone wall so close to the world, and when I fell asleep, I went to the wall, and when I went to the wall, there was fear, and no one slept.Perhaps in all Roke, and indeed on all the islands, there was no one to sleep... only Alder who went to show the way... Azifor found himself dozing and shaking.

Abe tried to persuade Azifu to go back to the winter house, but he insisted on staying with the princess and translating for her.And, to be by Tenar's side to protect her, he thought but kept silent, so that she might mourn.But Alder had no need to mourn. He had passed his sorrow to Tenar, to all; his joy... The herbalist walked out of the academy, busy around Azifor, putting on his winter cloak.Azifort sat on the ground in a tired, hot half-sleep, deliberately ignoring the presence of others, watching the sunlight creeping down the leaves, vaguely annoyed that so many people had entered his sweet and quiet clearing.His perseverance finally paid off.The princess came to the side, knelt down in front of her, gazed with eager respect, and said, "Master Azifu, the king wishes to talk to you."

The princess helped him to his feet as if he were an old man.He doesn't mind. "Thank you, Jiayinha." "I am not the queen," said the princess with a smile. "You will be." Master Xingyi said. At the time of full moon and high tide, "Dolphin" must wait for the tide to recede before passing the Xiongwu Shuangya.Tenar did not disembark at Gont Harbor until noon, and it was a long uphill journey.It was almost sunset when she crossed the town of Raiabai and walked up the cliff path leading to the hut. Ged was watering the big cabbages. He straightened up and saw Tenar approaching, frowning with a hawk's face. "Ah." "Oh, dear!" Tenar hurried forward for the last few steps, and Ged stepped forward to meet her. Tenar was tired.She was happy to sit with Ged, share a glass of fine red wine brewed from sparks, and watch the western sea burn golden in the early autumn evening. "How should I describe the whole thing?" "Say it backwards." "Well, that's all. They wanted me to stay, but I said I wanted to go home. But because they were engaged, there had to be a council, the king's council. There must be a big wedding or something after that, and I don't think I need Go, they were truly married at that moment, united through the ring of Yevran. Our ring." Ged looked at her, and smiled, a big, sweet smile that only she had ever seen—or so she thought. "and then?" "Lebannen stepped forward, and stood here, on my left, and Sessalaki stepped forward, and stood on my right. We stood in front of Mored's throne, and I lifted the ring, as we brought it Same back at Havnor, remember? In "Looking Out," in the sun? Lebanin held the ring in his hand, kissed it and gave it back to me, and I put the ring on the princess's arm and slid over her very smoothly hands, Cersaraki is not petite. Oh, Ged, you should have looked at her! She was beautiful, like a noble lion! Lebanin had found his match at last! All cheered, and the celebration began. Then I Finally able to leave." "go on." "Say it backwards?" "Say it backwards." "Okay. Before that, it was Roke." "Roke is never easy." "indeed." The two drank red wine in silence. "Tell me about Master Xingyi." Tenar smiled. "Cathalaki called him a warrior, and said only a warrior could fall in love with a dragon." "That night, who entered the dry land with him?" "He follows Alder." "Ah." There was surprise and a certain degree of satisfaction in Ged's tone. "The rest of the masters also followed Chiyang, and Lebannen, and Irian..." "Tehanu." There was a silence. "Tehanu walked out of the house, and when I followed her out, she had already left." There was a long silence. "Azif saw her. In the sun, ride the wind." There was a silence. "They are all gone, and there are no dragons in Havnor or the Western Isles. Obsidian said that when the Phantom Lands coincided with the phantom and light worlds in it, they also belonged to their true territory. " "We break the world to make it whole." After a long time, Tenar said in a quiet thin voice, "Master Xingyi believes that if he calls Irian, she will return to the Forest of Hearts." Ged said nothing, and after a long time said, "Look there, Tenar." She looked where Ged was looking, into the dark sky over the western sea. "If Tehanu comes, she will come from there; if she does not come, she will be there." Tenar nodded. "I understand." Her eyes were full of tears. "Lebannin sang me a song on the boat when I returned to Havnor." She couldn't sing, but whispered the words: O my joy, be free... … Ged turned his head away and looked at the forest and the mountains and the darkening peaks. "Tell me. Tell me what you did in my absence." "Housekeeping." "Did you go for a walk in the forest?" "not yet."
