MORGAN

Our new target…

…is the Grail.


MAGE

No idea what that is, but

why should I help you?

You did ruin my plan, after all.


MORGAN

Excuse me? I ruined your plan?

Translocating Camelot or going after Guinevere was never on the table. The moment I saw you come in, I knew that something was going to go wrong.

If you’d stayed put and intercepted the knights as we’d planned, we’d be much closer to our goals.


MAGE

To your goal. It was never mine.


MORGAN

And yet, those were the terms we agreed on.


MAGE

Not after I found out about some little details you kept hidden.

You haven’t been all that honest with me, have you?

Gawain is your daughter, Arthur is your brother.

And you thought you could keep that from me?

You took advantage of my situation. I only returned the favor.

I’ve learned much about you.

You’re discreet, but not infallible. 

You’re in touch with other kingdoms, looking for their weaknesses

Sometimes, you encourage them to rise against the Round Table. Against Arthur.

So, what is it you want?

Power?

To dethrone Arthur?

To kill him?


MORGAN

I want…

I want him to burn himself to ashes slowly, until there is nothing left of him.

I want him to feel the pain of despair in its purest form

overtaking him.


MAGE

That’s a lot of resentment, I see. 

Spoken by a soul in deep suffering.

Pathetic. 

And here I was, ready to sacrifice myself for the sake of vengeance.

I’m surprised you didn’t let me deal with Guinevere, in that case.


MORGAN

Guinevere has nothing to do with this. She’ll keep the promise she made you.


MAGE

…Oh.

You care for her a great deal.

How ironic. 


MORGAN

It doesn’t matter.

I’m going to need your help, but I can’t break you out of here for a good while. It’d look suspicious.


MAGE

Oh, because you’re on your own now, huh?

Is your little boy toy busy? That’s a shame. He was somewhat amusing, at least. ( What was his name again? Bruce? )

Whatever. I refuse.

What do I stand to gain from twiddling my thumbs and quietly waiting for your next plan

if you’re so certain Guinevere will grant me her royal pardon? 

I could even denounce you, if I so wished.


MORGAN

What do you stand to gain…? 

The right to live. 

And I’ll consider it a mercy, after all you’ve done.

I’ll come back for you.

I’ll tell you more about this then. 


PALAMEDES

Hey.

Don’t put any fabric in the same bag as armor, you’re going to get oil stains on it.


PERCIVAL

Oh, yes, sorry.

My mind was elsewhere. I didn’t think I’d be going on a quest so soon…

Thank you for requesting me as a squire, Sir Palamedes!


PALAMEDES

[ sighs ]

…Galahad sought me out, and…

…Bedivere took care of it, I… 

…all I did was approve the whole thing.


PERCIVAL

But Galahad told me you don’t usually keep a squire. So, thank you.


PALAMEDES

…Let’s go.


PERCIVAL

( Samhain came to an end in a tense atmosphere⎯but also a restless one.

The items we have to find are in two different places, 

and so two separate groups were formed.

As for the knights departing on this mission… )


GAWAIN

Look after Gringolet, will you? 

He’s not in his prime anymore. 


[ mordred waves at percy all flustered ]


PERCIVAL

( …I’m leaving with Mordred.

Sir Gawain went to offer him to come with all on her own… )


GAWAIN

I told you, I’m bringing you on a quest. Why are you making that face? 


PERCIVAL

( …as if something had suddenly changed her mind.

So at least I get some respite in the midst of all this. )


GALAHAD

Sorry, buddy…

We’re going to have to leave you here so you can rest up.


BORS

Tell him I didn’t expect to leave on a quest again as soon as I got here⎯


GALAHAD

Did you hear that? He’s dodging his responsibilities too. For shame! 


BORS

I’m not sure I understood everything about this…

…but I want to be of use. For Lamorak.


LANCELOT

Bors, Galahad.

I’m waiting for you.


BORS

Coming, Lance. 

How about you? What are you going to do?


DINADAN

Sit and wait like a dummy for my armor to be repaired⎯


BORS

Oh yeah?

You’ve got your snooping face on, though.


DINADAN

I do?


BORS

Yes, yes.


DINADAN

It’s true, I’m going to stay here and try to find out more about a few little things…

Someone has to keep an eye on things here, after all. 

Plus, I want to enjoy Brunor’s company some more before he leaves again!


BEDIVERE

Have a safe journey. Look after yourselves.


DINADAN

Be careful.


ARTHUR

She’ll be back.


GUINEVERE

…Maybe.

What the three of us had, though…

…no longer seems possible to me.

To see her walk away from us is paralyzing.

She’s suffering, Arthur, she really is.


ARTHUR

I know, but…

I don’t know what to do.

I  made that decision too long ago, and

I don’t know how to go back on it without ruining everything.


GUINEVERE

…How somber you are, my love. 

There might be a solution. We must think it over, together. 

…I’m here, Arthur.

I have no reason to leave you behind.

I’m not going anywhere.


ARTHUR

…That’s true. 

You’re here…

Without you, I…

…I don’t know what I’d do.



ROUND TABLE TRIVIA 

More horses from the Round Table!


Gringolet, Gawain’s horse : has been depreciated for over ten years </3

Gawain

He’s been with me for quite some time. Not bad for a gringalet.


Hengroen, Arthur’s mare.

Arthur

Bedivere raises all my horses, so they have Welsh names… ( It was the same for my mare Llamrei, a long time ago… )

…of occasionally questionable taste.

Hengroen apparently means “old skin”.


Ruthyr Chon Tuth Bleidd, Percival’s horse.

Percival : I call him Ruthyr for short. It means, uh, impetuous and wolf-footed. Because he’s really quiet, and wolves are quiet, so…

Ruthyr

Nerd. [ lil prancing noise ]
