him."
Yes, he is my master. These talons
were a heartbeat away from your throat.
I could have killed you in an instant.
But, in the hour I knew you, I loved you.
It is you who are betrayed.
Power is fleeting. Love is eternal.
Remember me.
Consider this power.
If you consent to be my queen...
... I will halt the attacks of the Slayers.
It is in your power
to stop the killing and burning.
Each hour you delay,
more innocent people will be killed.
Think on it.
Hurry, Colwyn.
I seek the Widow!
Enter here and die.
Lyssa!
Lyssa!
Who speaks that name?
It is I, Ynyr!
I give you this time.
Lyssa.
I was young when I last heard that name.
I was young when I last spoke it to you.
And my face was as beautiful as my name.
And I loved you, Lyssa, with all my heart.
But you would not stay with me.
- There were responsibilities, duty...
- Ambition.
You had a son.
We had a son.
But you said nothing.
Where is he?
I killed him when he was born.
And this is my punishment.
My son?
Since I could not kill you,
my rage needed a victim.
I know you can never forgive me.
I cannot forgive myself.
I have already forgiven you.
You can never forgive a woman
who has killed your son.
If I had not...
...could I see you now as I saw you then?
And allow me to see through your eyes.
How could I have left you?
Your vision is your gift to me.
And your vision could be your gift to me.
- What can I see for you?
- The Black Fortress, where does it rise?
Tomorrow...
...in the Iron Desert.
But the knowledge is useless,
for you can't leave here.
No man has ever escaped the Web.
There is a young girl being held
in the Fortress.
A young girl with your name.
A young man seeks her.
The age I was when...
...you and I met.
When you and I loved.
What you ask is beyond my power.
It can be turned only once.
That is the Law of the Web.
Then the second Lyssa will share your fate.
She will die, grow old and lonely.
She will die in a place of darkness.
This world will be a place of darkness.
These are the sands of my life.
Accept them and the spider
will have no power to harm you.
But your own life runs out with the sand.
What about your life?
I give it to the girl who bears my name.
I cannot stop the sand.
You cannot stop time.
Go now.
Save the other Lyssa.
At sunrise...
At sunrise...
...the Black Fortress will appear...
...in the Iron Desert.
It will remain there until sunrise
of the following day.
You must...
You must reach it.
We'll reach it. You'll be with us.
No.
No, my...
...race is run.
Use your power wisely.
Do not squander it.
I learned the power from you.
I won't forget.
We'll bury him here.
The Iron Desert's 1,000 leagues from here.
Fire mares.
Fire mares can travel
1,000 leagues in a day.
There's time if we move quickly.
That's it. Drive them back!
The grey is the leader!
Hold him!
Come on! Come on!
I've got you.
Gentle as a baby!
- Saddle the others, quickly!
- Right!
Come on. Hold still!
Stand still, you beast!
Take good care of him.
- Why doesn't he come?
- It's his time to die.
If he's going to die anyway,
why doesn't he come with us?
No. He must stay here and accept his fate.
If he opposes it,
he'll bring great pain on himself.
Steady! I must remain here.
Is it time?
You've done enough, Rell. Stay here.
Each to his fate.
Each to his fate.
Rell, I'll ride with you.
I have to stay here, my friend.
We had no time.
Hold on!
There it is!
Yes, and only madmen would want
to get this close to it.
We're going to get a lot closer.
And quickly. It's almost dawn.
We must get inside
before the twin suns rise.
Rhun, get back!
I was wrong.
The journey was worthwhile.
Finish it...
- We'll have to rush them.
- No, wait!
We'll be picked off as soon as we move.
Colwyn, look.
Follow him!
Come on!
Kegan! Mind the boy!
Get your axe in the opening!
It'
