Luag knew he was lying on the floor in Katherine’s room at the inn, asleep and dreaming, but that didn't lessen the horror. He was back on Islay as a child, almost a man. Donald and the other warriors were preparing to attack his favorite cousin Angus's household. Angus was old enough to be fighting in the conflict, though Luag wasn't, not quite.

Luag ran up to Uncle Donald and pleaded with him. "Let me gae along, Uncle. I'm ready. Ye said yerself I was ready for battle."

Annoyed but trying not to show it, Donald turned to the other warriors and gave them a look that said leave us.

They all did, knowing better than to mumble among themselves about it.

Donald put his hand on Luag's shoulder. From a distance, it probably looked like a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Luag knew otherwise. This was Donald asserting his authority over Luag by showing how much taller and broader he was. Luag's arms looked scrawny next to Donald's arms, and he knew if he challenged his uncle, he would be crushed to the ground and possibly killed.

When Donald spoke, his voice was stern. There was no pretension of sympathy or reassurance. "Ye are too soft, Luag. I ken why ye want tae go. Ye want tae warn Angus. I will na let ye. Someday, ye wull see the wisdom in this, but for now, ye wull bide home and help tae protect the lasses. I ken I hae been clear. I ken ye will obey."

As all the other warriors left for battle, Luag shed his last tears. Whether his uncle realized it or not, that conversation with him had made Luag a man. Right then and there, Luag had decided he was leaving. He would rush ahead and warn his cousin, and then he would never return to the MacDonald clan.

He told only his mother, who hugged him and cried.
