Fiachna

Fiachna

He is the Smith in the rath of the MacConn tribe, where Bec originated from before her death. Fiachna was skinny, and often people thought he should not be a smith. Yet he made fine weapons, but he died towards the end of the book, poisoned by Connla (the son of the leader of the MacConn tribe). He was first bitten by a bull-like demon, then Connla, following the orders of Lord Loss, rubbed in a pouch of poisoned powder while he slept. On his deathbed, he admitted his love for Bec, and she returned her love to him, weeping many tears that she could not be with him.

Speculations


 * While the warriors left, was Fiachna cured by the mysterious Old Creatures?
 * Was his spirit kept in the cave of the Old creatures, like what happened to Bec on the moment of her death?
 * Or will The Shadow bring back his corpse and use it to frighten young Bec?
