Ciad asked her what that chance was, and she told him that if he would find Mountain of Fierceness, the son of the King of Greece, and conquer him and bring back to her Blue Gold, she would get for him from her father what he wanted.

“Then,” he said, “I will do that.”

“Not so easily,” said Pearl Mouth, “for no one in the world can overcome Mountain of Fierceness unless he has the buaidh [pronounced ”boo-ee,“ and means ”power of victory“] of Soul of Steel, Prince of India.”

“Then,” said Ciad, “I will set off and find that.”

Away he started, and did not stop until he reached India. He demanded buaidh from Soul of Steel.

“That I will not give you,” said Soul of Steel.

“Then,” Ciad said, “I will fight you for it.”

“You will only throw away your life,” said Soul of Steel, “for no man can conquer me but one.”

“And who is that one?” said Ciad.

“The man who can kill the Giant of the Great Seas,” said Soul of Steel.
