where did Ged fight his shadow? in the wizard of earthsea?

Answer 1

yes

Ursular K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea tells the reader the journey and the adventure of Ged in Earthsea, a land where most inhabitants' lives involve magic. A shadow, which Ged himself breaks loose, follows and hunts him throughout the book. In pursuit of the way by which he can defeat his enemy, Ged ends up at The Court of the Terranon. There he meets Serret, who eventually shows him the Terranon, a powerful, terrible stone from an ancient time. Despite Ged's refusal to touch the stone and use his power to control it, Serret tries desperately to convince him.

"Only shadow can fight shadow. Only darkness can defeat the dark. Listen, Sparrowhawk! What do you need, then, to defeat that shadow, which waits for you outside these walls?"

"I need what I cannot know. Its name."

"The Terrenon, that knows all births and deaths and beings before and after death, the unborn and the undying, the bright world and the dark one, will tell you that name,"

"And the price?"

"There is no price. I tell you it will obey you, serve you as your slave."

Shaken and tormented, he did not answer. She held his hand now in both of hers, looking into his face. The sun had fallen into the mists that dulled the horizon, and the air too had grown dull, but her face grew bright with praise and triumph as she watched him and saw his will shaken within him. Softly she whispered, "You will be mightier than all men, a king among men, a king among men. You will rule, and I will rule with you -- "

Suddenly Ged stood up, and one step forward took him where he could see, just around the curve of the long room's wall, beside the door, the Lord of the Terrenon who stood listening and smiling a little.

Ged's eyes cleared, and his mind. He looked down at Serret. "It is light that defeats the dark," he said stammering, -- "light." [pp. 118-19]
