Eventually Bercelak will not be ignored any longer and arrives at Fearghus's den with another brother, Briec, while Fearghus, Morfyd and Gwenvael are outside and Annwyl is inside alone. Fearghus ignores his father's decree and refuses to send back a message of acknowledgement with his brother, continuing his dual identity relationship with Annwyl for several more days while Gwenvael hangs around waiting for a message to take back to their parents. He comes with a message from their father, Bercelak the Great, that Fearghus is to stay out of what's become known as the Sibling War between Annwyl and Lorcan, since Fearghus has already agreed to help her in battle. Gwenvael's arrival, however, is not for nothing. Fearghus also theorizes that her rage may be what causes her to be immune to Dragon Fear. Through their dialogue in his den we learn a lot about both characters, from Annwyl's unfortunate upbringing with her horribly cruel brother to Fearghus' funny stories about his siblings, but also that Annwyl's incredible battle record comes from her almost supernatural rage that comes and goes like the wind, but gives her amazing strength. Annwyl, however, did not show any of that all of the times she has been around Fearghus, even when she thought she would be his dinner as she lay dying outside his lair.
We learn that all humans to date suffer from Dragon Fear when they see a dragon, which causes them to become paralyzed with fear, sometimes vomiting or urinating themselves. Quickly Fearghus realizes he is infatuated with Annwyl, and has been since he first her on the battlefield. Surprisingly, Fearghus visits Annwyl frequently as she heals, bringing creature comforts to her room and eventually showing her his treasure room.
