It's deep night as Sir Galahad arrives at the castle of King Lot. When he jumps off his horse, he is barely able to stand. His legs tremble because of the long ride. He must hold onto the servant in front of him. Then he takes a deep breath and runs into the castle. Almost at the same time Sir Percival arrived at the castle of Queen Annis. He has just jumped off his horse and has handed the reins to one of the servants, as Sir Gwaine appears. He only wears pants. His hair is wild and hangs him partially in his face. He has already slept, but one of the servants woke him immediately upon the arrival of Sir Percival. As the two men face, they look at each other briefly before they fall into their arms. Together, they run into the castle.
Slightly scared Sir Galahad enters the throne room of King Lot. And when the servant closes the door behind him, he stands alone in the big room. He waits. Then finally, after perceived eternity, another door opens. A man enters the room and sprawls on his throne. Immediately Sir Galahad runs up to him and bows. "Sir Galahad, Knight of Camelot. What an unexpected visit." Galahad looks at the king. His hair is long and dark. He is unshaved and yawns. Obviously the King has already slept. "Your Highness. I come on behalf of the Queen of Camelot." Now the King sits up. "Tell me what message you have for me." The young knight swallows, then he starts talking.
"This nasty .. Mordred, the little rat!" Sir Gwaine has jumped up. Excited, he is now running up and down in the guest chambers. His friend Sir Percival sits at a table and has just told him what happened today. He grabs the cup in front of him and drinks. "I will immediately inform Annis. I will also induce that my horsemen get ready. Of course we will help Arthur. If we leave at dawn, we will reach the border of Lot's Kingdom at noon." Sir Percival nods and puts his cup back on the table. He sighs at the idea to spend another day in the saddle. Instinctively he strokes over his butt. Sir Gwaine is now directly in front of him. "Go to sleep." Now Sir Gwaine grins. "Rest your butt, you will need it." Also Sir Percival grins. "See you in the morning. Nice to ride with you side by side." Sir Gwaine nods. Then he leaves Sir Percival's room, to inform the Queen.
At dawn, two knights walk out of the castle of Queen Annis. Side by side they go to their horses. With them there are 50 more knights and a physician with their horses. Sir Gwaine looks around. They aren't many. The majority of the army is on its way to fight Saxons. This is only his personal guard. They are all fast riders. And fast they'll have to be. Only the physician worries him. "Lord Ryan?" The physician looks at his horse and to his medicine bag. "Ready." Sir Gwaine sighs. "And you are certain that you want to come with us?" Lord Ryan jumps on his horse. "Absolutely." Sir Gwaine still isn't thrilled. He looks again to the entrance of the castle. Queen Annis stands there and watches them. "Gwaine? "Gwaine please be careful. I would find it terrible to have to lead the army in the future myself." The knight nods. "Don't worry. We quickly free Arthur, then we will be back." He turns to Sir Percival and nods at him. Both jump on their horses. This are proud and strong horses. Restless, they prance in the courtyard. On a signal of Sir Gwaine's hand, he and his men ride off.
Also in the courtyard of the castle of King Lot is intense activity. King Lot is facing his men. He has assembled an army of 1,000 men, partly on horseback, partly as foot soldiers. Beside him stands the young Knight of Camelot. Without hesitation King Lot has started to prepare for Arthur's rescue. And of course he will allow Gwen's army to march into his kingdom. King Lot looks over his men. Because the stone circle is not that far away, he will already go there with his men. He will take a look of this camp. Sir Galahad will ride to his Queen and deliver the message, that King Lot awaits her at Lough Gur. The King turns to Sir Galahad. They shake hands. "Ride safely and quickly. I'll waiting for you." The young knight nods and runs to his horse. He jumps on it and leaves the courtyard. Now also the King goes to his horse. Once more, he looks in the round, then he jumps on his horse. At the top he leads his army out of courtyard.
