While wandering outside the camp, Prosper and Cynan come upon a Saxon shepherd whom the Fosterling is forced to kill to ensure his silence. The Company rides south by the western road for stealth's sake, and encamp at the border of Deira.

Later that spring, the news arrives that Aelle of Deira is dead and Aethelfrith of Bernicia is taking control of both kingdoms, and Mynyddog sends out the summons to war to the kingdoms of the North and West, with the Company riding ahead to secure the Deiran capital of Catraeth (13). Prosper is chosen as a runner with Faelinn as his catcher, and Prosper's evident fear of what Faelinn might do pays off their old score (12). In spring, envoys from the Dalriada come to be persuaded to join Mynyddog's cause, and the envoy demands a show of the Company's esprit de corps by having two men catch a third running towards the cliff called Epona's Leap. At the Midwinter feast, the Company and the Teulu, the King's bodyguard, come to blows over the Champion's portion, and the Fosterling formally gives up the captaincy of the Teulu in favour of the Company (11). On the third night they repay the visit and find the other three dropped asleep, and attacking them in jest, Prosper ens up in a fight with a panicked Faelinn, touchy shieldbearer to Peredur of Rheged (10). Prosper and two other shieldbearers are assigned to pass three days doing anything but sleeping, and they set out for the ruined Roman fort of Castellum, where they pass the time in gossip and stone-masonry, and discover another party on the same test, who leave a token in their camp as a challenge (9).

The Company sets about training with their shieldbearers, and Conn is at a loose end until Prosper sends him on an errand to the weapon smith, and then seeing his continuing fascination with the craft, proposes to give him as an apprentice, which would force his father to free him (8).

When the full Company of three hundred younger sons of chieftains from the kingdoms of the North and West has assembled, they and their shieldbearers swear faith to Mynyddog, with his bard Aneirin as his spokesman, at a feast and sword-giving, at which Prosper first sees the Companion Cynan Mac Clydno and his devoted friend the Princess Niamh (7). Phanes of Syracuse, an old friend of Mynyddog's, explains to Prosper that the King is indeed gravely ill, but his illegitimate son Ceredig the Fosterling will lead the host in his place (6). Gorthyn's party arrives at Dyn Eidin, Mynyddog's seat, expecting a war hosting against the growing power of the Saxons of Bernicia, and are shocked to find Mynyddog visibly ailing. Two and a half years later, when Prosper is sixteen, Gorthyn summons him to be his second shield-bearer at the hosting of Mynyddog the Golden, King of the Gododdin, and Conn goes with him (5). Prosper plans to kill the hart humanely, but the Prince himself calls off the hunt at the sight of it, and Prosper inwardly gives him his allegiance (4). But the news reaches the King's son Gorthyn, who comes to hunt the hart. The next year, Prosper, Conn, and Luned sight a white hart while searching for their lost dog, and make a pact to tell no one (3). Later that summer, they meet Phanes of Syracuse, a Greek merchant with a remarkable archangel dagger from Constantinople, which wakes Prosper to the reality of the outside world and Conn to the longing to smith metal, a craft barred to bondsmen (2). Prosper has to tend Conn's wound, and along with Prosper's foster sister Luned, they become friends (1). On his twelfth birthday, Prosper the second son of Gerontius the lord of Nant Ffrancon, Wales, is given an Irish bond servant named Conn with an injured knee, to his disappointment.
