Sebanna promised to bring him food, but she dare not tell her father. Day after day she brought him food. But one day she did not come as she had a cold. Orwin walked day and night but she did not come. His food supply had now ran out and Sebanna did not come with any.
When Sebanna recovered, she went to Orwin but when she entered the castle he was dead and the food she had was of no use. Orwin's death shocked Sebanna and she died of grief. They both lie a quarter of a mile from Lough Sheelin and the Baron and his wife are buried in the tombs of Fore.
