#WyrdWednesday #Celtic: `Bélchú of Brefne was the first to come to Cet’s Ford. “This is Cet,” said he. “And here is Conall,” said he. “And henceforth Ireland will be happy, since these two slaughter-hounds have fallen, who ruined Ireland between them.” So saying, he set the butt-end of his spear on Conall.
“Take away thy spear from me, O father!” said Conall.
“Thou art alive,” said Bélchú.
“No thanks to thee,” said Conall, “I am alive.”
“I see it, O Conall,” said Bélchú, “thou wouldst have me slay thee. But I shall not do so, for thou art dead as it is.”
“Thou wouldst not dare to wound even my cloak,” said Conall, “thou wretched old woman!”
“I shall not kill thee now, but there is something else. I shall carry thee with me to my house, and thou shalt be healed with me; and when thou art whole, I shall fight with thee.” So then he lifts him on his back, half dragging him behind, until he reached his house.`

#WyrdWednesday #Celtic: `Bélchú of Brefne brought physicians to Conall until he was whole. “It will be even so,” said Bélchú to his sons, “this man will escape from me and will do us no good. Kill ye the man before he goes from us. Come then to him all of you to-morrow night, when I will leave the house open before you, and kill him in his bed.” The man of affliction and great woe, even Conall, knew the evil intent which was harboured against him.`
