The Mists of Avalon Page #3

...whether I'll be able to help

the Pendragon in his schemes.

lf you refuse the High King now...

...he will become your enemy.

lf Uther Pendragon thinks

he can fight the Saxons...

...and then fight me after...

...let him try!

l was too young then...

...to understand why my father

hated the High King so much.

But the moment he rode out

to hold the Saxons at bay at Cameldun...

...the magic of Avalon began to work.

Sister?

Sister, hear me.

Viviane!

Igraine...

...you must listen if you want

to see Uther alive again.

l will not see him.

l will not betray my husband.

Then the man you love will die tonight.

l do not love Uther!

Sister, listen,

because there isn't much time.

Gorlois is planning

to surprise Uther while he sleeps.

You must warn him.

Save him, and save Avalon.

But like all of us of the old ways...

...you must believe that this is not

the only life where we could have met.

There's something

between our souls already.

Now my mother could see

how she could save Uther's life...

...but she did not see the terrible price

we would all have to pay.

There he is,

sleeping away his last night on earth.

l want Uther deep in his dreams...

...when l drive my sword in his chest.

Uther!

What was that?

There's magic at work. l can feel it!

Uther?

Gorlois is not at Cameldun.

His men are in the hills above your camp.

Save yourselves.

Save yourselves.

Igraine?

Sir, are you not well?

Let's prepare, Captain...

...to show how we best welcome a traitor.

Uther!

We can stop this now, Gorlois.

it's up to you!

Mother, where are you?

Mother?

-She'll be all right.

-Iraine!

There are herbs that will cure her.

Let's get her into bed.

Open the gate!

The Duchess is ill.

-We have to find the herbs!

-Open the gate.

We have orders not to, my lady.

What?

Neither you, nor Lady Igraine

can leave the castle in the Duke's absence.

My mother is dying.

I'm sorry. l have my orders.

-Be careful, Morgaine.

-All right.

lt's over there, by the trees.

See Morgaine there? Fetch her.

Come along, Morgaine.

Would you fly in the face

of your father's authority?

The herbs are for my mother. She's dying.

Captain! That's enough.

Now let me pass.

Not you, Merlin, nor any man.

Not even your Lord Gorlois.

Sir, l recognize your armor.

But, sir, l must do as you commanded me.

l must ask to see your face.

Show him your face, Gorlois.

Let my daughter go.

Father!

l was overjoyed that my father

had come safely back to us...

...but then l saw the dragon...

...and l began to understand.

What are you doing here?

I'm waiting for my father.

He's upstairs, with your mother.

My father is dead.

Well, if your father is dead...
