A Heart in Sun And Shadow (Cymru That Was book 1)
““The Yfwr was the first creature of the water. There is a legend among my people that she saw Amathaon, son of the goddess Don, tilling a field by her lake and fell in love. She shifted into a maiden and seduced him. After he lay with her she turned back into a creature and when Amathaon realized the deception, he left her. It broke her heart. She bore him three children, then turned into a weeping willow, which is how you’ll find her now.”
Áine mulled this information over. “How do I make a tree cry? Seren said this task would be simple, but I cannot see how that was not a lie.”
Bran’s jaw tightened and he pulled his cloak around him, turning half away from her. “It is simple, she did not lie. To make the Yfwr cry, you need only wound her.”
Áine clutched her pack to her chest and sighed. “I do not like this. But I have a knife of cold iron, and if it must be so, I will do what is needed.”
Bran turned back to her with a melancholy smile.
