Cuchulain remembers friends from Faery; Dolb and Indolb arrive from the Sid to help him and strike Ferdiad unseen. Ferdiad says Cuchulain’s Fairy-folk friends have succoured him. Cuchulain says revealing the magic veil to a son of Mile would deprive the Tuatha De Danann of concealment or magic.
Dolb and Indolb, friends from the Sid/Faery Dwelling, aid Cuchulain while Ferdiad does not perceive them.
