The arrival of Setanta MacNess thwarted Lugh's plan. Knowing he wouldn't survive a direct confrontation with the hardened warrior, Lugh had to make a few alternations in his plan.
Tungsten turns out to be Lugh's friend. Through a magnetically propelled projectile made of Tungsten, the assassin manages to incapacitate Sentana long enough. We're told that this makes the goddess happy, which is perplexing, as Sentana isn't even the Hero that Lugh must eventually assassinate.
In any case, Lugh succeeds in the most important part of his task; to escort Dia to safety. His family adopts her and she will now pose as Lugh's younger sister. But how will Lugh adapt to that? Will he try to forget his romantic feelings for Dia, or will they resume their relationship in secret?
