Sword Of The Valiant: The Legend Of Sir Gawain And The Green Knight Page #3

Synopsis: Gawain was a squire in King Arthur's court when the Green Knight burst in and offered to play a game with a brave knight. No knights stand to defend their king's honor. Except for the valiant Gawain. After being quickly knighted Gawain plays the game, but learns that it's all a trick, and he has lost. But the Green Knight shows mercy, letting Gawain grow a year older before having to face the consequences. Gawain journeys across the land, learning about life, saving damsels, and solving the Green Knight's riddle.

I'm Sir Gawain!

I seek to enter Lyonesse!

No man may enter Lyonesse,

nor go back...

once he has sounded

the great trumpet.

What do you expect me to do?

Swim?

Be killed by the guardian of

Lyonesse, like all the others.

Come on.

Sir, if you have quarrel

with me, then we fight fairly.

Sir, are you running,

or do we fight?

Ah... we fight.

Gawain...

the king's armor...

you know it's only ceremonial.

He hadn't fought in years.

It's not heavy plate.

You mean

like the black knight's?

But you'll be

lighter on your feet.

Great, if he asked me to dance.

Your challenge is accepted!

- I'll get your horse.

- There's no time, Humphrey!

I'll stand and fight.

Gawain! Gawain!

Humphrey, my mace and chain.

- Mount up, quickly!

- No time.

Whoa.

Humphrey! Humphrey!

Help!

My hand's stuck!

Help me!

Humphrey!

Humphrey, get me the lance!

Here!

Now it's his turn.

Get my sword.

Here, after him!

Sir knight, let it not be said

I have not been chivalrous.

Daggers!

Now that's just dirty.

Wait!

- Is he dead?

- I think so.

You won't like this, sir knight.

But do it, and be swift.

I'm dying.

Take me back, will you?

To Lyonesse?

To Lyonesse.

Humphrey?

Humphrey!

Humphrey!

Humphrey!

Humphrey, where are you?

Good people of Lyonesse,

your guardian is dying.

And in my last act

as your defender...

I bring you my murderer.

Kill him!

No!

Take this ring, quickly,

the stone inside your hand.

So long as you hide the stone,

it will hide you.

Come on, take the ring,

quickly!

Thank you.

Follow me.

Come.

Here. Sit down here.

Just uncover the stone.

I've always known

that one day you would come.

I've always known that...

once within these walls...

you would be in sore peril

of your life...

and I must use my ring

to save you.

And then?

Gawain...

don't you know what land

this is you've entered?

Lyonesse.

The lost land of Lyonesse.

No kingdom of your world,

for Lyonesse is lost...

Iost in the wilderness

of past dreams...

and ages yet to come.

This isn't such a bad place

to be lost.

You're tired, and you must rest.

No. Just a moment.

Was that a dream?

No.

Linet?

Linet, where are you?

A fool? You dare call

your mistress a fool?

But the entry to Lyonesse

must not be left undefended.

I meant only that

we must find a new guardian.

My lord was the greatest

and bravest warrior...

that ever lived,

and now he's dead.

There is no man his equal.

There's got to be one.

Your husband

was a mighty champion.

But surely the one

who overthrew him...

was, and is, even mightier.

I will not listen to you!

Your words are treason.

Please hear me out. I beg you.

We must seek out this knight

who slew your husband.
