Albion: The Enchanted Stallion Page #5

---

to feel like you have only

yourself to rely on,

and as much as your family

wants to help, they can't.

I felt like that most of my life.

But these people are good.

They don't want to hurt you.

And your brother must care

very deeply for you,

because he brought us

all this way just hoping

that he could find you.

You don't have to be

alone anymore, Gally!

You don't have to be alone.

Who wants to be invincible anyway?

It sounds pretty boring to me.

The flame will show us where he is.

It is boring!

It's terribly boring.

You can't imagine.

Have you ever been swallowed by a whale?

I had to wait for it to poop me out.

Spent weeks in there.

It was uncomfortable, to say the least.

For you and the whale, I'm sure.

I'll make you a trade, little girl.

You can call me Evie.

Well, I'll make you a trade, then, Evie.

One book of healing for one friend.

How does that sound?

Would you be my friend?

How about three for the price of one?

I'll even throw in a brother.

A brother.

Here.

Huh.

Wow.

Should we heal the skinny

cowardly one then?

What's up?

The book might cure him

of his honesty problem.

Isn't that a good thing?

I can't lie, he has

somewhat grown on me.

- Like a boyfriend?

- Like a fungus.

But like a fungus I'm not quite sure

I want to be cured of just yet.

And now we will cure you, my brother.

Don't mind us.

We were just enjoying

your delightful little scene.

The milesians!

Run, Eriu! Now!

Go!

Let her go.

We have all we came for.

These relics share the Danaan symbol.

This day has proved far more

fruitful than possibly imagined.

And who are you, little girl?

My name's Evelyn.

People call me Evie.

And what mission are you on, Evelyn?

I'm just trying to go home, sir.

Are you indeed?

And where is home, sweetheart?

Cedar creek, Vermont.

I know of no such land.

I didn't think you would.

Bind them.

Tell me, Evelyn, why help the Danaan

when their fight is not yours?

The Danaan are forced by a tyrant

to leave everything they love behind

and go live underground.

They only want their homes back

and to live in peace.

To me, that sounds like a

cause worth fighting for.

That's only their side of the story.

Is their another side?

No.

Why do you help the Milesians?

- I am Milesian.

- So?

I've never been asked that before.

No wonder General Eeder

finds you so interesting.

I thought you were

supposed to kill the girl.

What happened to bringing

the general her little heart?

Do not involve yourself in my affairs

if you wish to survive the night.

I had a daughter once.

Would have been about your age.

Your spirit reminds me of hers.

Once?

The great war took her from me.

Her and her mother.

They were killed by Danaan?

They were killed by men.

The type doesn't matter.

Men destroy everything, Evie.

I've never seen an exception.

That is why I give no man my love

or my hatred.

And in my indifference,

they give me their gold.

I believe you're a better man

than you pretend to be.

Is that right?

And what possibly makes you think that?

You act bad, but...

I know there's good in you.

Which side do you think your daughter

would have fought for if she were me?

There was nothing good about me ever.

Nothing.

I've done things that

your innocent little mind

couldn't even imagine.

I am the reason children

are afraid of the dark.

I am a jackal that preys

upon the wounded.

I love not. I feel not.

I care not.

If you're looking for a savior,

be prepared to be

very disappointed in me.

Now, I know that

you can hear my thoughts,

and I do not know why,

but I promise you, I will root it out,

make no mistake, little girl,

even if it costs you your life.

I don't believe you.

Eriu, I knew you'd come.

I knew it!

Dag Dia is waiting for you

in the forest.

Go. Run.

Come on!

Evelyn!

Eriu!

I told you.

I told you, Evelyn...

Nothing.

- No.

- Nothing.

Eriu!

Dag Dia?

Seems it's just us left.

Sorry you woke up alone.

I just... I needed a moment to think.

Dag Dia?

Damian is my birth name,

but I do prefer Dag Dia.

I don't know how to tell you this,

but back at the camp, Eriu...

She was not harmed.

She was carrying the Book of Healing.

I'm afraid her plan was quite reckless.

I'm so sorry for all

you've had to endure

since I brought you here, Evie.

Why did you bring me here?

There are so many

other people from my world

who could have helped you so much more.

It had to be you.

But that's ridiculous, why?

I'm in enough trouble as it is

for bringing you here.

I should let her explain.

Her who?

Who are you talking about?

The Queen.

Eriu sent her a message.

The Queen? I'm supposed

to meet a Queen?

Okay, this has got to stop.

Eriu is most likely on her way

to a Milesian dungeon because of me.

Eriu sacrificed herself

so you could be here.

Bad move!

Stupid move!

I am not the person you stand by.

I'm the one you walk past

without noticing.

I'm a nobody from nowhere.

Why can't you understand that?

He doesn't understand that

because he carried you

from this world as an infant,

and he knows exactly where you're from.

Your majesty.

We'll deal with you later, Damian.

Why are you mad at Dag Dia?

You shouldn't be here, Evelyn.

I know.

You've grown into such a lovely girl.

I have to admit,

I'm a bit nervous seeing you.

Why would you be nervous

about meeting me?

Mothers always wish their daughters

to think kindly of them.

I thought, perhaps,

I might never see you again.

You must have a lot of questions.

In the heart of a great war,

a Milesian warrior fell in love

with a Danaan Princess.

They were married in secret

by the Abbess,

and soon the Princess was with child.

The Warrior and the Princess

intended to expose their love,

but then the war took a terrible turn,

separating the two.

After the tragic loss of her father...

The Princess suddenly became Queen.

And the welfare of an

entire race now fell to her.

The Queen knew that the infant

held had a powerful secret,

and many would seek to destroy her,

so she called upon the Abbess

to send her far away from harm,

safe in the arms of her father.

My father is a Milesian?

Your father was wounded and had to flee

from the vengeance of his own people.

I miss him very much.

That child has finally

returned to Albion,

and sadly,

she has not been met with the welcome

her mother dreamed

she would one day receive.

Do you ever miss me?

A day has not passed

that I have not yearned for you.

Giving you up was

the worst moment of my life.

You chose to leave me.

That's even worse than

thinking you were dead.

I do not blame you for your anger.

Good, because it was really hard

not having a mom.

I mean, dad tried, but...

Evelyn.

Evie.

Evie, I'm truly sorry.

Why does Dag Dia think I can help you?

In order to lift the spell

of the barrier,

all four Danaan treasures

must be reunited,

and then both bloodlines

must agree to end the treaty.

That's me, isn't it?

I have those bloodlines.
