94.1
Lomöri herself wept over the great injustice, having been awakened from the Essential sleep by Sïrdi's spells.
94.2
She then lent her helping hand to the armies of revenge, as Aldo herself would have wanted from the beginning of time.
94.3
Lomöri burst her body from west to east, across the oceans, from the very roots to the heavens, from Likintiyannon to Tildoron.
94.4
And a great hole, a great chasm, immense, unseen, appeared, and the sea flowed out into the Outer World, and with it a great deal of unclean mud and vile scum, which had accumulated at the bottom for thousands of years.
94.5
And the mountains of Ogulda'finli'mandiyë also broke in one place, in the middle, which is called Gareb'anälimäyë, the Gate of Purity.
94.6
However, it did not take long for the hole in Naul to close again before all the waters disappeared and the great fish Fayahün filled the oceans with water again.
94.7
Gareb'anälimäyë, however, remained, and like a wide channel invited ships on their way.
94.8
The glad tidings quickly spread throughout Naul and once again put hope into the hearts of those who wanted to embark on the great journey. Even those who hesitated and were intimidated now returned under the banners of their commanders.
94.9
After a few years of preparation, a large army set out again, and Sïrdi had not enough strength to stop it.
94.10
For the Mountains of Hopelessness had lost their power over the minds of the Feofees — the ships were built again, sailing with a favorable wind, and now passed through the Gareb'anälimäyë without difficulty — and Sïrdi had the strength to stop them no longer.
94.11
Thus the Armies of Vengeance landed in the Oddland and they were then called Taramnë'gawnö'minnëya'kalrasë, the Armies of Righteous Vengeance.
94.12
Sïrdi's loyal servants fought fiercely, sparing no fangs, claws and spells. There were countless of them and they were enraged, even rested, they also fought to the death.
94.13
But with the light was righteous anger. Eleven camps were built, like eleven fortified cities.
94.14
And not only one side was besieged, but ladders were built there from north to south, and mobile towers walked from south to north.
94.15
Sïrdin'akwantori also tells about all this.
94.16
Many enemies fiercely opposed the holy troops, the goblins of Fïrdi, black worms, and cursed spiders whose bodies were covered with plates of steel, and venom oozed rom them.
94.17
The tall hyenas and black wolves were there, spreading impenetrable clouds of darkness around them.
94.18
Sïrdi also summoned the strong monsters from Tumgälad Sïrdolinnë, and the horror went before them and the light itself went out.
94.19
Two Alnë, Hatongumandor and Zaltoksor, proved to be the two best generals of that war on the side of Sïrdi. The first led the troops in the attack, the second commanded the defense.
94.20
And thirty-three great battles were fought, in which dead bodies were piled up in stinking heaps.
94.21
Stories tell how famous heroes fought and suffered and won, Manatär the Protector, whose eyes glowed with unquenchable light.
94.22
Also, Latïna the Beautiful never backed down, even though she was full of scars and Dëcen Naulstrider walked there, solid as a rock.
94.23
Yes, Edlïyona the Enchantress was also there, and her verses burned monsters in the eyes and souls.
94.24
Tayabrona the Unbreakable fought bravely, and Lipan won without respite under his banner.
94.25
One hundred and ninety-nine years that battle lasted.
94.26
Until finally, Taramnë'gawnöminnëya'kalrasë bought victory, with much blood and tears.
94.27
Nothing helped that Sïrdi's army was outnumbered ten times, that his slaves were driven into suicidal battles, that hundreds of miles of walls protected the armies of evil.
94.28
The armies of Tildo crushed the mighty rings of the walls, buried the enemy dead in pits, blessed the desecrated land with light and freed the blackest dungeons.
94.29
Then Sïrdi saw his end was near, although the real end could not occur, because Sïrdi is immortal.
94.30
He tore his heart with his claws as the righteous blades approached, leaving half of his heart hidden.
94.31
Hidrandë with Oröndë, and Nalmo, Tur, and others then rushed and destroyed Sïrdi's palace. And they were so angry that the monsters perished in the storms around.
94.32
Then Lümindon pierced half of Sïrdi's heart with her Famalo'grütan'gäliyelan spear and thus he pierced was.
94.33
Thus Sïrdi drooped like a leaf without juice, like a fish without a sea, and no longer moved, but did not die.
94.34
So Hidrandë said: “This is the punishment for all the cruelties you have done in Naul, for the spoiling of our works and for all the destruction and humiliation. Now you will be banished, with the great banishment, the greatest in history. As no one will be and has never been. We will now throw you into the Outer World to suffer punishment there until the end of all days. There in the immense cold you will be consumed by your own malice and the timeless void will give you no rest. And you will be gnawed by creatures older than Ivarinden, and you will be miserable!'
94.35
Thus Sïrdi was banished, and the spear in his wound was left to punish him further.
94.36
He was chained by a seven-power chain to Likintiyannon, deep below Naul, where the light of Fö never reaches, and which is forgotten by all the world.
94.37
The place was given no name so that it would be more forgotten.
94.38
And of black steel was forged around Sïrdi a dungeon he was eclipsed by, and never afterwards saw anything but the emptiness and desolation of his own soul.
94.39
And all were forbidden to approach Sïrdi, not even to call from afar, so that his mind would go mad and never recover.
94.40
The act was called Sïrdin'akwantori, Banishing of Sïrdi.
94.41
The great time came after that, but more so in Tildoron. The festivities of the defeat lasted for eleven years, and the whole of Naul was covered with colors and glittering reflections.
94.42
And Osqaldin said:
94.43
"Aren't our fates strange? Aren't the fates of the world and all who walk, crawl and run on it admirable? And are not the stories of the depths of the sea and the breadth of the heavens remarkable? The turning of the world came now, such as Naul had not known since Tildoyinnë, since the rebirth of Ivarinden. Black places have been cleansed, monsters crushed, and many landscapes are mild and benign. Perhaps it is the will of Mirondë that with such a great battle the old time will be ended and a new era will be born. And therefore I say, now is the moment when the new breed of Feofees of ours, who are still slumbering, will be awakened. I entrust the great news to your care, Alwamayna, may you be blessed."
94.44
And Alwamayna bowed and went away to ponder about fate.
94.45
Sweet music sounded everywhere, fanfares and trumpets and mighty drums and lovely bells and whistles.
94.46
Sweet rain fell and golden snow. Joy and laughter resounded throughout the world, until the soul rejoiced and the eyes crossed.
94.47
And from that time evil was never so strong in one place, but by the will of Mirondë it could never end. It was dispersed and it annoyed the earth less, but more often.
94.48
Then the reckoning of time was broken, and the end of the old times came, the end of all the Pre-Ages of Naul, and the First Age, the so-called Ëalpaniyo'lënwa, began.
94.49
All good bless the times to come!
