"In the end only seven men survived -- Brân Fendigaidd's brother Manawydan and Taliesin the bard were two of them. Branwen died of a broken heart because of her son's murder. Brân Fendigaidd was mortally wounded, and he told the survivors to cut off his head and take it back with them to Britain." He's still rubbing the band of his watch. "They first stayed in Harlech, and then Ynys Gwales, with the head speaking to them and telling them tales. They stayed for eighty years without realizing that time had passed, until one day Heilyn fab Gwyn opened the door facing Cornwall and they suddenly all realized what had happened to them. Everyone they loved had died in the battle or in their absence and they were alone. Brân Fendigaidd's head no longer spoke. As he had bidden them once, they took the head to Gwynfryn and buried it facing France. That's the end of the story."
