The Mists of Avalon Page #4

...then who would that be upstairs?

The man with the dragon.

The man of the prophesy.

You be wary of Viviane, child.

She'll catch you in her web...

...like a little fly,

just as she's tried to do to the rest of us.

She won't have me, though.

I've learned how to keep

a step ahead of her.

This is witchcraft.

He challenged the High King.

it was not Uther's wish to kill him.

He had no choice.

What went through my mother's mind...

...as she saw her husband lying dead

at the hand of Uther Pendragon?

None of this mattered...

...to my Aunt Morgause...

...because in King Lot of Orkney...

...she saw at last, her own path to power.

For the first time,

l saw Uther Pendragon face to face...

...and began to understand

the power of Avalon.

Britain's greatest Christian warrior

was dead.

King Uther alone

would turn back the Saxon hordes...

...and Avalon would be saved

by one who believed in the Goddess.

Uther took us to his castle at Camelot...

...and made my mother his High Queen.

All the unhappiness of the past

seemed to be swept away...

...when l saw my little brother, Arthur,

for the first time.

Help me.

Arthur! Morgaine!

What are they doing?

They're praying to the Goddess

for a good harvest.

The Goddess?

The one Father Cuthbert doesn't like?

And now she'll look after their seeds,

and make them grow...

...all through spring.

So these people don't like Jesus Christ?

Some of them do.

But others still pray to the Goddess.

Can there be a God and a Goddess

at the same time?

Of course. it's just like

having a father and a mother.

it was a time of happiness for me

and my little brother.

And it seemed my new father...

...King Uther,

would keep the Saxons at bay forever.

Then one day l heard a familiar voice

down in the royal chamber...

...and l knew that everything

was about to change again.

You shall now teach your son.

But he's still a boy.

Arthur must be fostered

to protect his future destiny...

...and to protect him from his enemies.

lt was an agreement

you made a long time ago.

And with this...

...you must give me Morgaine

to foster in Avalon.

Never.

She has the Sight.

She was born with it.

She can never escape the Unseen.

I'd rather raise her as a Christian woman.

No!

At worst, no harm could come to her

behind convent walls.

The girl was born to be a priestess.

She must be properly trained to her gifts.

Enough of this, woman!

You're in my land now, where l'm king.

You are king.

But who put you there?

How long do you think

you'll hold on to the throne...

...if Avalon withdraws its support?

You'd bring ruin to your own sister

in order to have your way?

I'd do anything to see that
