After their brief argument, Eivor heard a noise while Tewdwr was reluctant to see. At the same time, both Eivor and Tewdwr noticed a trio of wild Boars about to attack. However, Eivor defended Tewdwr, who hid, and defeated the beasts. Realizing the situation, Tewdwr thanked Eivor and resumed his prayers. Wanting them to leave, Eivor insisted on returning to Glowecestre, however Tewdwr objected. Tewdwr promised Eivor to tell Cynon that she kept her promise and that he must pray. Accepting Tewdwr's choice, eivor left him and returned to Glowecestre.[1]
