FtepThis, it was given me to know: that many worlds have been enslaved by the Beast and his army, the Slayers. And this, too, was given me to know: that the Beast would come to our world, the world of Krull... ...and his Black Fortress would be seen in the land... ...that the smoke of burning villages would darken the sky... ...and the cries of the dying echo through deserted valleys. But one thing I cannot know: whether the prophecy be true... ...that a girl of ancient name shall become queen... ...that she shall choose a king, and that together they shall rule our world... ...and that their son shall rule the galaxy. Father! Colwyn should have been here by now. He may be forced to travel through the forests on the stone country. All the passes and roads are held by the Slayers. Colwyn may not get through. That would please you? I sent men to help! But I see no reason for an alliance with our ancient enemies. Father, the invaders are destroying our world. We must have the alliance. Only if we're united, do we stand a chance against them. Then, I'll make a treaty with King Turold. It's not necessary for you to marry his son. It's the only way to guarantee the alliance. The marriage is my choice. If it were anyone but Turold's son... Colwyn is a great fighter. Good fighters make bad husbands. Perhaps. Horsemen approaching! Open the gate! We sent to you for help. None came. Twenty men were despatched to you. We've lost 300 getting here. I didn't choose this marriage, Turold. Nor did I, Eirig! I chose it! Your daughter chose it! It'll be done! And you'll lead this army with mine against the Slayers? Whatever army I have, I'll lead against them... ...until I've won or I'm dead. I have chosen well. So have I. Your journey was hard? But necessary. - May already be too late. - It's not too late. Is this where the... ...ceremony will be? Tonight at moonrise. My father says that good fighters make bad husbands. - That depends. - On what? On whether you expect a husband to follow you around... ...jump every time you clap your hands. Wouldn't you jump for me? No, of course not. You're a warrior. From this day, my kingdom is no more. Nor mine. A single kingdom under our children. Agreed. I give fire to water. It will not return, except from the hand of the woman I choose as my wife. I take fire from water. I give it only to the man whom I choose as my husband. Take the fire from my hand. Slayers! Slayers! - Slayers! Slayers are coming! Call the roll, guards! - Slayers! - Arm yourselves! - We'll fight together. - No. Is there a safe way out of the castle? - An underground passage. - Go! My place is with you! - Do you love me? - Of course I love you. Then go. Colwyn, hurry back to me. Everyone in the centre of the room, get back! Take it! Here! Colwyn! Lyssa! Colwyn! Help! Colwyn! Father! Colwyn! Lyssa! She's alive. Where? Stay still! Where? For now, beyond your reach. Who are you? I am Ynyr. The Old One. Well... ...not as old as all that. You've come down from the Granite Mountains. Yes. I am needed now. Father! There's no time now for grief! You haven't lost a father and a bride on the same day. Nor have I become king on that day! I have no kingdom! Your kingdom may be greater than you know. I give it to you, old man, and welcome to it. I came to find a king... ...and I find a boy instead. Lyssa? They will hold her in the Black Fortress. Can you lead me to it? You must have help. I'll find men on the way. In the Fortress, you will face more than the Slayers. You will face the Beast, who is their leader. He can be killed. Perhaps. But no man has ever seen him and lived. You will need more than men and swords. You will need the power of the Glaive. The Glaive is nothing but an ancient symbol. It doesn't really exist. It exists, up there. In a cave on the highest peak.
