I'll carry him to Avalon if I have to.
Avalon sounds right
just about now.
Knights, the enemy is closing in.
Wait. My father was taken
to Avalon
after he fell at Camlann,
to be healed of his wounds.
- Galahad:
Yes.- It is said
Avalon's healing waters have a spring
in our land itself.
- The Fountain of Brittany.
- Yes.
No no, that's a fable.
What's the matter, boy?
Don't you believe in a little magic?
Merlin said these tunnels lead
to an escape but also to water.
Water.
Let it be so.
Come on.
You're not divine, old man.
In one thing you are correct...
my reach on the book
exceeds its grasp.
We made it. The water rushes.
This way.
Lysanor:
Why is this rivernot on any map?
Galahad:
Enchanted it is,hidden from the paths of man.
Tristan:
It is beautiful.Lysanor:
Starting to believein magic, Tristan?
I believe what my eyes see.
And I fear we'll see a lot more
before this day is done.
Well, I hope you can conjure up
the fountain soon.
Merlin certainly isn't
getting any lighter,
magic river or no.
The Fountain of Brittany.
Youthful expectations.
Lysanor, let me help.
The silent sentinel.
The fountain god.
Legend says the gods themselves
put these behemoths
beside wonders of the world
to guard until the end of time.
There is something familiar
about this place.
The fountain.
It's dry.
Tristan:
What are we going to dowithout the healing waters?
Galahad:
It cannot be helped.We still have the book.
Go on without me.
I shall stay as well.
No, Avlynn, Merlin's death
shall not split us apart.
- We can't just leave him.
- He's already gone.
No, he's not.
This place... I've been here before,
as if it were in my blood.
I can hear the fountain.
I've heard it
since we've been here.
There must be a way.
Your family's mark.
Tristan, your knife.
May the blood of a Pendragon
serve us now.
The blood oath.
If you can hear me
from where you are,
we need you, Merlin.
The land needs you.
I need you.
I'm not ready
to do this without you.
Please fight.
Asudem, Avrenim!
Asudem,
Avrenim!
Asudem, Avrenim!
By Isolde's light...
he lives.
Welcome back, old friend.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to be seen.
We thought you were dead.
Well, I was, see?
But now I'm back again.
This is the second time
you've done this to us,
the first being
the Day of Destiny.
You know how that turned out.
I've had visions of myself
being thrice slain...
thrice slain.
I don't want to die a third time.
Twice is enough.
Just don't die on us again then.
Where am I?
The Fountain of Brittany.
Whose idea was that?
Lysanor:
Avlynn's.That was a good idea.
We've retrieved
the Book of Beasts
and your magic is needed
to dispel it.
My magic, is it?
How quickly the worm turns.
Our quest is now complete.
Where is the book?
Scratch that.
I hate magic.
They're probably not very happy
over their sister's demise.
Knights, we fight blind.
We move as one.
Avlynn:
Thrust. Thrust. Thrust.My arm.
My arm.
Don't you ever listen?
Close your eyes
when you're fighting a Gorgon.
What exactly is our strategy?
Hold your sword high, boy.
Anytime now.
Nice score, lads.
It would be easier to be dead.
Medusa is afraid of no one.
You led well.
I was taught well.
Merlin, you called the Arcadian
Mordred back in the castle.
'Cause it's true, see?
You've heard that name
before, Avlynn?
Avlynn:
No.Galahad.
All right, well, you'd best
sit down then, Avlynn.
Sit down.
Truth is, the Arcadian's
your brother, Avlynn,
or half-brother at any rate.
I have a brother?
Sired by your father
in a moment of weakness,
such as all mortal men
are prone to moments of weakness.
Well, he was tricked
Must be the source
of the Arcadian's power.
I have a brother.
A half-brother on the witch's side.
Merlin:
And he wants you to live.He sent out all these enchanted beasts
to find you.
To what end?
He wants you to bear him
a child, Avlynn,
a pureblooded Pendragon child.
- What?
- Lysanor:
Never.That shall never come to pass.
We will raise a new army of knights,
overtake the castle
once and for all.
How can we?
Haven't you been listening?
There's no way to destroy the book.
I've seen that grave look
before, Merlin...
right before our king fell.
Perhaps there is a way.
Lysanor:
How?you need to be equally armed.
Tristan:
Is it possible?We've all see what the book can do.
Surely there's nothing
There is a weapon.
What is it? We must have it.
- Merlin:
Are you ready?- For anything.
Are you steadfast?
Yes.
Might mean certain death,
Princess...
one of ours
or yours.
The choice is yours.
We can retire now
with the book,
try and hide it
through the ages.
Galahad:
Although fiendish artifactssuch as this
have a way of being found
because they are sought.
Or we can try to rise
against it...
a higher power
to destroy it.
Avlynn:
The legend is true.Better, girl...
it's a family heirloom.
Galahad:
Excalibur is real.Merlin was the last to use it.
It was hidden
in the Lake of Destiny,
awaiting its rightful owner.
Tristan:
Excalibur brandishedby a knight princess...
there is no army, human or beast,
that stands a chance.
But the getting of it...
the getting of it may prove
to be a sorrow in itself.
It's your choice.
Hardship, ordeal, death...
our land is at war
and our people are dying.
The choice you give
is no choice at all.
We journey to the Lake of Destiny
where, good or otherwise,
There's no water.
You have to ask yourself,
has it been dry all the time?
We are close.
The river ends
and the sand and rocks begin.
Where are we going, Merlin?
Why have we traveled far
from any water this land sees?
Tristan:
And yetwe can hear it nearby.
the Lake of Destiny?
Lysanor:
One cannot draw waterfrom a stone.
Merlin:
Although you cannotdraw water from a stone,
a conjurer can hide what's wet
within sand.
The Lake of Destiny
right where I left it.
What am I to do?
Retrieve Excalibur.
Persevere.
How?
You said you were ready.
You should know.
Follow in the footsteps
of your father, Avlynn.
- I will go with her.
- No, Lysanor.
Whatever's in that lake
is for Avlynn to find out.
I will be all right.
Will she, Merlin?
Questions questions questions.
From what I've seen,
she's more than ready.
Who wants beans?
Excalibur.
Are we to fight?
Clever girl.
Then again, so am I.
You fight well.
I am your every weakness,
Your Highness.
Quite.
I don't mean to pry,
but are we to fight to the death?
Oh, yes, Princess, to our death.
I am fighting myself.
Come here.
I said come here.
I will not fight you.
Fly fly fly!
Fly fly!
Your dreams stir you to awake, Merlin.
What troubles your mind?
Always watching me sleep, Galahad...
