Tara was beautiful, Belenus expected that. But he hadn't quite expected to be wed while he was in Eire. Belenus was 30 and still a bachelor (well up until today at least), and he hadn't expected to be wed when he decided to observe one of the local customs.

Either way he decided he would deal with it later. Right now he was enjoying the day with Anarene on a bluff overlooking Tara, hidden by the shrubbery around the hill.

It was late in the afternoon, and Anarene was asleep next to Belenus. He had spent all of the last three day's with her, and unfortunately he had to leave her until his business was done. He got up and left but before he did, he covered her in his fine cloak and placed near her the jeweled torque that he wore around his neck as well as a rose he found nearby in a bush. He placed one last kiss upon her cheek and departed to look for Fenian and Flidais.
