 The Myth is summed up to: A Knight named Kylmyn had to get a book for his necromancer friend and when he got the book, demons were chasing him, at length he reached the stream of the Llifon and there just on the edge his gallant steed fell exhausted and dying and he felt that the demons were gaining on him he knew that they could not cross the river but it was so wide that scarcely was it possible for him to leap it to ford it was impossible the current was too strong

 An effort he felt must be made and he hesitated no longer but rising on the back of his gallant steed he gave a desperate spring and gained the opposite side At that very moment his foot flipped one of his legs funk into the water and it was with extreme difficulty he could draw it forth again and manage to climb up the bank He felt as if a red hot iron grasp had seized his leg beneath the water and he heard a loud chuckling laugh as he hurried away from the stream and sought the hermitage of his friend the necromancer to whom he gave the Book which he had gained
