Life events

• Diarmuid and the Enchanter fought until the Enchanter escaped into the well.(The Fianna · Diarmuid · The Hard Servant · Part 3)
  • With: Diarmuid
  • “And it was in no friendly way he spoke to Diarmuid when he came up to him, but he gave him great abuse. ‘It is no right thing,’ he said, ‘to be walking through my thickets and to be drinking up my share of water.’ With that they faced one another angrily, and they fought till the end of the day. The Enchanter thought it well to leave off fighting then, and he made a leap into the bottom of the well away from him, but there was vexation on Diarmuid to be left like that.”
• Diarmuid tried to stop the Enchanter escaping into the well, but fell in himself.(The Fianna · Diarmuid · The Hard Servant · Part 3 · 📍 the well)
  • With: Diarmuid
  • “He rose up early on the morrow, and he found the Enchanter at the well before him. ‘It seems to me, Grandson of Duibhne,’ he said, ‘that it is not enough for you to be walking my scrub and my woods without killing my deer as well.’ With that they started again, giving one another blow for blow, thrust for thrust, and wound for wound till the end of the day came on them. And Diarmuid killed another great deer that night, and in the morning the fight began again. But in the evening, when the Enchanter was making his leap into the well, Diarmuid threw his arms about his neck, thinking to stop him, but it is what happened, he fell in himself. And when he was at the bottom of the well the Enchanter left him.”
