Pride of Lions
“A number of men were slain." As Donough had discovered before he returned to the ford, the man he killed in the forest was not the Owenacht leader. That honor had gone to his cousin Fergal Mac Anluan, who endlessly recounted every detail of the death of Domnall Mac Donohue until no one would listen.
Teigue had also slain several men, but he did not talk about them. For a victorious warrior, he was in a far from celebratory mood.
"All-out war with the Owenachts, that's what this means," he predi...cted glumly to his officers as they made their way back to Kincora. "Cian was turned against us already, now the rest of his tribe share his enmity." He shot a dark look toward his younger brother, riding off to one side. But Donough did not notice. His thoughts were far away.
He was trying to recall the voice of the person who had soothed his injured head in the forest--and perhaps saved his life. A conviction was slowly growing in him, based on no fact whatsoever, that he had been rescued by the girl in the red skirt.MoreLess
