This is chapter 3 in the Fanes saga. Since I'm uploading pictures as soon as they are ready, I'm not following the story. So you have chapter 3 and, in another picture, chapter 1, while 2 and 4 are still missing. The best version of this story was written last century by C.F.Wolff so you can google for it. Otherwise just mail me and I will send you my humble translation.

The day before the battle Dolasilla was sitting on the bank of the
Green Lake, her heart full of sorrow... she missed Ey de Net and
was unwilling to fight.
Suddenly from within the mists over the lake a figure emerged - it
was an old Anguana, a wise woman who lives near the water.
Dolasilla opened her heart to her and the woman comforted the
princess by assuring her that Ey de Net was already on his way
back to the Fanes valley. The Anguana also gave Dolasilla a magic
powder telling her to strew it on the water surface.
As Dolasilla obeyed, magic silver reeds grew on the lake's bank.
The Anguana told her to pick them and to have them forged into
arrows: with these arrow the princess would have been able to
destroy the evil wizard.
And so it was done and everything was ready for the battle...

Wow. Wow. Wow . . . why do I hear Enya when I look at this? Or Nightwish? Spectacular landscape, skillfully illustrated, it really conveys the epic mood of this story. Well done.
