According to the text of the legend, the legend “ Abduction of a bull from Kualge ”, once transmitted in oral tradition, was lost - not one of the storytellers knew it entirely. Senhan Torpest , poet and mentor of poets, organized a trip for his students, including his son Muirgen and Emin, grandson of Ninen, to Gaul to get the full text. At Fergus’s grave, most of the travelers went for the night, and Muirgen sang a stone song, after which he disappeared into the fog that enveloped him for three days. At this time, Fergus appeared to him, telling the whole legend.
According to other legends, Senhan himself heard the legend.
