gooseberry pie...
as big as a mountain.
No. That's a bit greedy.
I'll settle for one as big as a house.
- I'd wish for a puppy.
- Only one puppy?
If you're wishing,
why not wish for a hundred?
- I only want one.
- Oh, that's a foolish wish.
And you, Rell?
What would you wish for?
Ignorance.
- Nennog, help him!
- Help!
The ground. It's sinking!
It is the power of the Beast.
Link up! Make a chain!
- Get me out!
- Rhun, get hold of him!
- Hang on!
- Pull!
Give me the axe!
- Here!
- Quick!
Pull!
- Pull!
- Pull him!
I'm slipping!
- Pull it!
- Hold on!
- That's it!
- Heave!
Nennog!
Help me!
Get me out! Help me!
Nennog, keep still.
Don't struggle.
- Reach.
- Hold on!
- Reach!
- Keep still, Nennog!
- Don't struggle!
- Stretch!
- Pull!
- Pull!
Is that you, Titch?
- How far to the temple?
- Not far now.
- Make sure we're not being followed.
- Right.
- I will stay.
- Be careful.
Thank you.
I'll lead the seer.
Titch, you go ahead.
Thank you, brother.
I'll lead the seer.
You go ahead with Titch.
- This way?
- No, here.
You sure?
I recognize this tree.
I think I recognize the place now.
We're in sight of the trees, brother.
Ye who seeks the knowledge
must lead me.
No one else may approach.
Here is the knowledge you seek.
The beast has many weapons.
This was one of them.
The changeling.
How did you know?
I found the seer's body
in the quicksand.
He gave his life for us.
He was my only family.
We're your family now.
Now we have no way
to find the Black Fortress.
There is one who might help.
- Who?
- The Widow of the Web.
That creature helps no one.
And none who go there return.
- She has great powers.
- Yeah, to kill.
She may not kill me,
for I know her name.
Her name is Death.
She had another name once,
an ancient and powerful name.
We all risk our lives on this journey.
My risk is no greater than yours.
I must try.
Where are my papers?
Blast! I really must
get organized one of these days.
Puppy, come here.
- Where's Ergo?
- He's--
He'll be back soon.
From here, I go on alone.
- I'm going with you.
- No.
If two approach,
she would certainly kill both.
Alone, I may have a chance.
- Each to his fate, Colwyn.
- Yes.
Yes, each to his fate.
If I'm not back by morning...
you'll know mine.
We stay here.
I still say
it was a foolish wish.
We have no food...
and the men
are too tired to hunt.
- Hey, Kegan.
- Hello.
Doesn't one of your wives
live in a village near here?
Lona. No, she moved
down to the river.
- How many wives does he have?
- Seven or eight at the last count.
- Well, he's a traveling man, you see.
- He covers a lot of ground.
Merith.
Yeah, she lives in the village
at the edge of the giant trees.
- Can she cook?
- It's not her strongest point.
Just have her bring provisions, eh?
Magnificence there reckons he can cook.
- We'll soon see.
- Oh, yeah?
There you are.
You all look so hungry.
Get out of my way.
Let me get at it.
- Well?
- Well, what?
Who's the girl?
Her village was burned.
She had nowhere to go, so I took her in.
Look at her one more time,
and I'll throw her out.
Merith, oh, my sweet.
She doesn't hold a candle to you.
- She's not even pretty.
- Yeah?
Now, look, petal,
faithful is my middle name.
You must eat something.
I'm not hungry.
Please. For me.
Thank you.
What troubles you?
You have chosen a paltry kingdom
on an insignificant planet.
- And love.
- Love is fleeting.
Power is eternal.
Such is my power.
It can be yours.
I don't want your power.
Do not let my form frighten you.
Lyssa.
I can assume any form I wish.
Any form you wish.
There's no love in that form.
And you think there's love
in your boy king?
I've not held a man in my arms
since my lover left.
This is a lie!
I know how painful it is
to be far from the one you love.
- He will betray you.
- Comfort me for one night.
- He will not.
- I can't betray my bride.
Then he will die.
Let me comfort
