Fairmina stood surrounded by a ring of Yanti warriors that included Chief Balog and his son. She had soon learned that it was the son she had dueled with. Neither had won the duel, for she had been overpowered by other warriors and her sword taken from her. She would have been slain, but the son—Beorn—had leaped to her side, saying, “No! She is a courageous woman, a warrior. Foolish, but brave.”

Fairmina stood straight. She had been wounded slightly on the neck and the back of her hand, but she paid no heed. “You are no men!” she spat. “Beasts must fight for you!”

The Yanti chief was understandably angry over the way the battle had gone. “Take her back, and she will be a hostage. Maybe we will offer her as sacrifice to the Dark Lord.”

The chief’s son stood watching as warriors bound her hands. He stepped close enough to say, “You have courage.”

“Do not speak to me, Yanti! You are cowards—all of you—to fight under the spell of the Dark Lord!”

A rope was placed around Fairmina’s neck, and the Yanti guard pulled her roughly.

But the chief’s son spoke sharply to him. “She does not need that!” Drawing his knife, he slashed the rope away. “You will be well treated,” he said.

Fairmina stared at him and raised her chin. “I will not be well treated! It is not in you or your people to be generous!”

The chief’s son said nothing more. He turned away, and the Yanti began the long march back to their village.
