Sword Of The Valiant: The Legend Of Sir Gawain And The Green Knight Page #2

West.

Due west.

Why due west?

'Cause that's the way

the wind's blowing.

What difference does that make?

Absolutely none at all.

I'm starving.

What food have we got?

None.

Noble knights

are supposed to hunt for it.

Or requisition it.

Catch it or steal it.

Now, that's what

I call chivalry.

Look.

Let's do the noble thing.

Quick, raise your bow, Humphrey.

But you can't kill a unicorn!

Then, what are we doing?

It's magical.

L-it's a sign of good luck.

Precisely. Good luck that

we've found something to eat.

But it tastes like horse meat.

No, magical, you said.

That means it'll taste good.

Come on.

Damn.

It wants to make us

earn our supper.

Let's just keep it in sight.

I can see why they use hounds.

There's my beauty.

Now it's ours.

What the...

Well...

that tasted really... magical.

Steady, boy.

Where did that come from, hmm?

I didn't see that before.

- Is anybody there?

- Have a look inside.

I could do with a rest.

Empty.

I could do with

some food and some wine.

And then I could do with some...

Speak no more, Humphrey.

Look.

Happy to serve my squire.

Happy to be your butler, sire.

Uhh. This table

is getting the better of me.

Well, it's not getting

the better of me.

You know, this place has

some very costly furnishings.

- I mean who do...

- True.

They are costly.

Please, gentlemen,

continue your splendid feast.

Whatever I have is yours.

Just so long as

you both can pay.

Nothing in life is free,

young man.

For such a feast, a purse

of money is fair recompense...

for what you want

just when you want it.

Beware.

She is the devil's decoy.

Am I not... fair?

What you'll have is my dagger

if this is a trap.

A noble knight indeed,

who would steal his supper.

- Hmm?

- Requisition.

Isn't this knight a riddle?

And so sure of himself.

One would think

he knew all the answers.

I'm on a quest

to solve a riddle.

The first line of which is...

"Where life is gladness,

emptiness"?

You know it? Tell me, please.

Why are you in such a hurry?

The riddle is easy.

Remain with me now,

and we'll solve it in a night.

Where will I tell Humphrey

to meet me in the morning?

On the way to Lyonesse.

Lyonesse?

How do I find that?

You will ride through

the forest and beyond...

to the shore of the sea.

Then you will come upon

the Chapel of a Hundred Steps.

A lot of animals

seem to have died here.

At the foot of the steps...

you will find chained

to an old post a great trumpet.

And what do I do then?

You must blow upon it.

- And after that?

- You'll see.

Try again.

Quiet, isn't it?

Too quiet.

Who calls the guardian

of Lyonesse?

He doesn't seem very friendly.
