Hard was her heart as she walked past her tula
Hard as the hobnails her grandfather made her
Berra walked on past the voice of her sister
Going to duty and leaving her kinfolk
What Really Happened
The group passed by the Blue Tree, picking up some gift horses for later, including what were apparently some goldeneye crossbreeds. Berra spent a long time talking about how that was a stupid thing to cross-breed with chariot ponies, while other people humoured her. They travelled up to Herongreen and then Alda Chur, where Koraki, disguised as a guide, invited them in to the Prince’s Castle, where they met Koraki, disguised as a King. They explained the problem of the bat to him, while Berra tried to keep a straight face in an argument with him about grapes.
