Elizabeth KlettNARRATOR
But the powers who walk the world made lightnings and great thunders over him, and dazed all eyes, till Arthur by main might, and mightier of his hands with every blow, and leading all his knighthood through the kings, Carados, Urien, Cradlemont of Wales, Claudius and Clarience of Northumberland, the king Brandagoras of Latengor, and Anguisant of Arran, Morganor, and Lot of Orkney.
Elizabeth KlettNARRATOR
Then before a voice as dreadful as the shout of one who sees to one who sins, and deems himself alone and all the world asleep, they swerved and brake flying, and Arthur called to stay the brands that hacked among the flyers, Ho, they yield! So like a painted battle the war stood silenced, the living quiet as the dead, and in the heart of Arthur joy was lord.

Elizabeth KlettNARRATOR
Till Arthur came for first Aurelius lived and fought and died and after him King Uther fought and died but either failed to make the kingdom one and after these King Arthur for a space and through the puissance of his Table Round drew all their petty princedoms under him their king and head and made a realm and reigned and thus the land of Cameliard was waste thick with wet woods and many a beast therein and none or few to scare or chase the beast so that wild dog and wolf and boar and bear came night and day and rooted in the fields and wallowed in the gardens of the king and ever and anon the wolf would steal the children and devour but now and then her own brood lost or dead lend her fierce teat to human sucklings and the children housed in her foul den there at their meat would growl and mock their foster-mother on four feet till straitened they grew up to wolf-like men worse than wolves and King Leodegran groaned for the Roman legions here again and Caesar's eagle then his brother king Urien assailed him last a heathen horde reddening the sun with smoke and earth with blood and on the spike that split the mother's heart spitting the child break on him till amazed he knew not whither he should turn for aid but for he heard of Arthur newly crowned though not without an uproar made by those who cried he is not Uther's son the king sent to him saying arise and help us thou for here between the man and beast we die and Arthur yet had done no deed of arms but heard the call and came and Guinevere stood by the castle walls to watch him pass but since he neither wore on helm or shield the golden symbol of his kinglyhood but rode a simple knight among his knights and many of these in richer arms than he she saw him not or marked not if she saw one among many though his face was bare but Arthur looking downward as he passed felt the light of her eyes into his life smite on the sudden yet rode on and pitched his tents beside the forest then he drave the heathen after slew the beast and felled the forest letting in the sun and made broad pathways for the hunter and the knight and so returned for while he lingered there a doubt that ever smouldered in the hearts of those great lords and barons of his realm flashed forth and into war for most of these colleaguing with a score of petty kings made head against him crying who is he that he should rule us who hath proven him king Uther's son for lo we look at him and find nor face nor bearing limbs nor voice are like to those of Uther whom we knew this is the son of Gorlois not the king this is the son of Anton not the king and Arthur passing thence to battle felt travail and throes and agonies of the life desiring to be joined with Guinevere and thinking as he rode her father said that there between the man and beast they die shall I not lift her from this land of beasts up to my throne and side by side with me what happiness to reign a lonely king vexed O ye stars that shudder over me O earth that soundest hollow under me vexed with wasted dreams for saving I be joined to her that is the fairest under heaven I seem as nothing in the mighty world and cannot will my will nor work my work wholly nor make myself in mine own realm victor and lord but were I joined with her then might we live together as one life and reigning with one will in everything have power on this dark land to lighten it and power on this dead world to make it live thereafter as he speaks who tells the tale when Arthur reached a field of battle bright with pitched pavilions of his foe the world was all so clear about him that he saw the smallest rock far on the faintest hill and even in high day the morning star so when the king had set his banner broad at once from either side with trumpet blast and shouts and clarions shrilling unto blood the long-lanced battle let their horses run and now the barons and the kings prevailed and now the king as here and there that war went swaying but the powers who walk the world made lightnings and great thunders over him and dazed all eyes till Arthur by main might and mightier of his hands with every blow and leading all his knighthood through the kings Carados Urien Cradlemont of Wales Claudius and Clariance of Northumberland the king Brandagoras of Latengor and Anguisant of Arran Morganor and Lot of Orkney then before a voice as dreadful as the shout of one who sees to one who sins and deems himself alone and all the world asleep they swerved and brake flying and Arthur called to stay the brands that hacked among the flyers ho they yield so like a painted battle the war stood silenced the living quiet as the dead and in the heart of Arthur joy was lord He laughed upon his warrior whom he loved and honored most.

"Thou dost not doubt me, King, so well thine arm hath wrought for me to-day." "Sir, and my liege," he cried, "the fire of God descends upon thee in the battlefield.
Elizabeth KlettNARRATOR
I know thee for my king." Whereat the two, for each had warded either in the fight, swear on the field of death a deathless love.
Elizabeth KlettNARRATOR

Russell NewtonNARRATOR
And Gareth said, "Full pardon, but I follow up the quest despite of day and night and death and hell." Tennyson's Gareth and Lynette.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
Mother, when will you let me go to King Arthur's court? Queen Bellicent, the wife of King Lot of Orkney, raised her troubled eyes to meet the pleading gaze of her youngest son, Gareth.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
Oh, Gareth, Gareth, she replied in a voice from which tears were not far distant.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
You are still a child, and have you no pity for my loneliness? Both your brothers are in Arthur's halls, unless one or both of them is at this very moment lying dead, pierced by a dozen wounds.
22 MINS LATER
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
But now I humbly ask your pardon, for I know that whatever may be your rank, you have a princely heart.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
Damsel, said Gareth gently, you are not at all to blame, except for mistrusting our good king.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
Know, then, that I am no kitchen knave, but the son of King Lot and Queen Billicent of Orkney, and if I had any but a princely heart, I should shame my birth.
Russell NewtonNARRATOR
Then they rode again for a long time in silence.

"'Some of you know of the Morrigan, a dark sorceress that spreads destruction across Britain.
Jess WolfendaleHOST
It is said she commands armies of rotten through her necromancy, and after seeing her with King Lot at the Battle of Carlian, we can only assume she has some control over armies of men, too.' After a moment of silence, Arthur speaks.
Jess WolfendaleHOST
We must hunt down the Morrigan's lair.
Jess WolfendaleHOST
and find this child.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
And presently the king's party prevailed, and drave the rebels from the hall and from the city, closing the gates behind them, and King Arthur brake his sword upon them in his eagerness and rage.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
But amongst them were six kings of great renown and might, who more than all raged against Arthur and determined to destroy him, namely King Lot, King Nantos, King Urien, King Carados, King Yder, and King Anguisant.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
These six, therefore, joining their armies together, laid close siege to the city of Caerleon, wherefrom King Arthur had so shamefully driven them.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
And after fifteen days Merlin came suddenly into their camp and asked them what this treason meant.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
Then he declared to them that Arthur was no base adventurer, but King Uther's son, whom they were bound to serve and honour even though heaven had not vouchsafed the wondrous miracle of the sword.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
Some of the kings, when they heard Merlin speak thus, marvelled and believed him, but others, as King Lot, laughed him and his words to scorn, and mocked him for a conjurer and wizard.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
But it was agreed with Merlin that Arthur should come forth and speak with the kings.
Barry EadsNARRATOR
So he went forth to them to the city gate, and with him the archbishop and Merlin, and Sir Key, Sir Brastias, and a great company of others.

Nor was he forgetful of those that had been his friends, for Kay, whom he loved as a brother, he made senestral and chief of his household, and to Sir Hector, his foster-father, he gave broad lands.
