King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Page #4

-What's wrong?

-The back of her head.

-Find my sister. Get an ambulance, guys.

-She's bleeding!

-Find Krista.

-Who?

Elaine!

Give her the Holy Grail.

Only the cup

can unsheathe the sword.

Elaine!

But where is the sword?

She didn't have it.

But I felt the presence of

the Excalibur here.

Instead she gave them a cup.

The Grail.

I send you to fetch my magic and

you return with such aggravation.

Why would she risk her

life for a mere cup?

Well, she was running

away from you.

She could have sought shelter.

Well, if you were so sure they were

the descendants of the Knights,

then why did you not stay

and kill them yourself?

Were you scared?

You rely far too much

on technology.

Let me show you how to put this

knowledge to real use.

Give me one of those things.

Which one?

One that we don't mind spoiling

if this formula doesn't work.

It was supposed to be a reunion.

Now it's a goddamn funeral.

Hey, brother.

-Are the police gone yet?

-Yeah.

I think we should get out

of here too.

I thought they will never

stop asking questions.

I'm pretty sure they're

not done with us yet.

Do they know how she died?

They said it was some

kind of bullet.

They why didn't we

hear a gun shot?

Or see anyone behind her?

The police said... what they

said didn't make any sense.

Come on, Pendragon.

Speak up.

They said something entered her skull from behind

and blew her brain out from the inside out.

Only the cup can

unsheathe the sword.

One edge brings salvation,

and the other

eternal damnation.

-I've heard that poem before.

-That's exactly what Elaine said to me when she came in here.

At least the first

half of it, anyway.

It comes from a poem, actually

a group of short stories.

About how Morgana, she's going to get her

revenge on the Knights of the Round Table.

Some stories say that she

gets it by way of fire.

Others through a duel.

But why would Elaine recite a

poem to us right before she died?

She's delirious.

Gunner, why did she give

me the cup?

Is this more of that Merlin nonsense

she was always bragging about?

Man, I don't know why she gave

you the cup,

but I know there's a lot to

Elaine that she didn't tell us.

Like what?

Like that Merlin stuff

you're talking about.

Come on.

Yeah.

You really expect us to

believe that?

I don't expect for you to believe

it, but I know Elaine believed it.

I mean, if the legends

are true about this,

which, I know they are,

the Holy Grail has healing

powers of, like, the Messiah.

-I mean, feeling it right now...

-What does it feel like?

It tickles.

Here. You guys want to

check it out?

Let me see this.

Or you.

It does have a strange

vibration to it.
