I smote his essence out of the sword, to replace it with my own. I called upon Nemed, the forefather, and pleaded with all the displaced gods of Fir Bolg for the right to wield it, and to salvage my people from the wrath of King Bres the Formorian. So hard did I hammer, that my blood sweated down upon it, to quench it.
