“I don’t hear anyone there,” he said. “But they could be there anyway. Spies everywhere.”

He leaned toward me and whispered in my ear, “You must go to the Swordsmith and tell him Eno sent you. You must say that you need a sword which can cut through stone. You must say that you’re a knight from Farawayland.” He looked at me for a long time. “For I believe that’s what you are,” he said. “Aren’t you?”

“Yes,” Pompoo answered for me. “He’s a knight and a prince. Prince Mio from Farawayland. And he must have a sword.”

“Where can I find the Swordsmith?” I asked.

“In the Deepest Cave in the Blackest Mountain,” said the old man. “Go through the Dead Forest! Go now!”

He went to the window and opened it again. And from out over the lake, I once more heard the birds wailing in the night.

“Go now, Prince Mio,” said the old man. “I will sit here and wish that all goes well with you. But perhaps I’ll hear a new bird tomorrow night, flying over the lake and wailing.”
