Woe is a bit disconcerted by the shaman's directness. "Yes, I suppose it is." "Then," replies Smoke Cat Watching, "I believe you can go now. We will make no effort to follow you to your dwelling place at this time." After she leaves, the women discuss at length whether there was even a scrap of veracity to what the hulder said, and they concede that her full name probably is Wealhtheow. As for the rest of the tale, it seems just plausible enough to be based on a tiny and distorted truth.

"I fail to see how this changes anything," says Summer Wind. "You still want to possess the wand, regardless of its origins. It remains a source of harm to us. Therefore, how can you be other than... unfriendly, at best?" The hulder female sighs. "I was afraid you might see it like that, but I plan to take the wand back to its home in the uttermost west, where hopefully it will be pacified. At the least, it will not pose a threat to any of your loved ones." "Is that all?" asks Smoke Cat.

"Those faerie who survived his attacks, yet had been marked for death by him, banded together and transformed him into a mighty tree. Then they chopped down the tree and shredded it into sawdust. Apparently a follower of the fey/god managed to salvage a piece as big as a wand. But the fragment was not the whole, and only a fraction as powerful or aware. It was, however, bitter and angry beyond describing. Though he had never been a danger to humans before, now he brought destruction to all."

This comment by Woe, or Wealhtheow, is as intriguing as it is confusing. "He?" asks Summer Wind, as details about the wand, assuming they are true, cannot hinder and may help in its ultimate disposal. "He was a species of fey, once, from so far to the west that it stretches the mind. There he was worshiped as a god. However, like many of faerie kind, he wanted to eradicate as many of his fellows as possible. Personally, I do not understand this, but I am only a hulder, and not so powerful."

"The door was not locked," says Woe. "Neither was it open," Summer Wind retorts. "This is pointless. She is here; let her speak her mind and then leave," suggests Smoke Cat testily. "Very reasonable," says the hulder woman with a smirk. "My name is Wealhtheow. I am not here to harm you. But I am what I am, and that cannot be helped, nor would I wish to change it." "You are here for the wand," remarks Springing Doe. "It has always been a source of harm." "Only since he has been a wand."
