With a heavy heart, Seth left the scene.
That expression on her face was one he'd never seen.
But he was determined, he was very keen,
To help the girl from the mountain hut.

'Her name Lydia suits her very much,' Seth thought.
But now, he must focus on unravelling the knot.
Through his mind, he revised what she taught–
The words of the girl from the mountain hut.

In the sack, every piece of silver, twenty score,
Clattered with every step, more and more.
With this, will two and two make four,
For Lydia, the girl from the mountain hut?

Absconding the trial date to be met,
Lydia placed her life as the bet–
Asking a week's time to clear the debt.
Said Lydia, the girl from the mountain hut.

"When the full moon in exactly one week
Comes, my magic will be at its peak.
I'll hand over it then, not now when I'm weak."
Pleaded the girl from the mountain hut.

"Silver and iron deflect our magical thrill,"
Lydia had let this information spill,
To Seth, "get jewellery, if you will."
Asked Lydia, the girl from the mountain hut.

Seth was tasked with jewellery, silver and iron.
In secrecy, only for his eyes, he must buy in,
Following the secrets of generations archaian,
From the words of the girl from the mountain hut.

A definite plan in mind, Lydia had for her land.
She will not let Liam take the upper hand.
With clocks ticking away, and the dripping sand,
Time was precious for the girl from the mountain hut.
