horses across. Now hear me, Gedren! It is I, Prince Tarn of Hablok... to revenge myself on the tyrant of Burkubane. Be quiet, you arrogant, ungrateful pup. How dare you, woman? I'll show you how I dare. This should have been done long ago. No. If you must hit someone, then hit me. You're not worth the effort, boy. Boy? Yes, boy. You'll never be anything else... till you learn gratitude and self-sacrifice, like Falkon. He's a real man. She didn't mean it, my prince. She doesn't know your fine qualities. Take that, ruffian. Take that, you ruffian. Practicing, Highness? I thought princes did everything so well, they wouldn't need to. I was disarmed by those ruffians the other day. I noticed. So? It needn't be fatal. I am disarmed. Kill me. Come on. Come on! You're meant to be using your sword. Remember? Simple, isn't it? But it's not in the rule book. You see, fencing and fighting are two different things. You need to learn them both. Will you teach me to fence and to fight? If you please? Spoken like a prince. You were disarmed because you hold the hilt too tight. Grip gently. See? Gently. I see. Like this? Your Highness learns fast. I think we'll continue your fencing lessons another time. We've an early start. You are very beautiful. When I am king of Hablok, I shall have you at my court. You will? My, the honor. I may even make you my queen. But I'm still young. We shall have to see. They will reach the Ithian Cavern tomorrow. We must force them to take shelter there. The killing machine will do the rest. Yes. They'll make fine fish food. But not the girl. I want that beauty here with me. See to it that she is spared. I'll do my best, my queen. The machine is difficult to control. One cannot guarantee that something will not go wrong. If it does, you will be its next victim. The talisman, Ikol. We need a storm. A little one. We should be out in the storm. Why? This is shelter, isn't it? I haven't got time to shelter. I've four days left to find the talisman. Besides, something drove us in here... every bit of the way. I noticed it, but I'm not complaining. Where's Tarn? He promised not to wander. Dry off, I'll go find him. Look at this. It must be the biggest in the world. Could be fake. There's a lot of bad stuff around. This pearl can rebuild Hablok... fill its treasury, buy me an army. Dig it out! Your Highness, it may belong to somebody. It does, and he wants it now! Yeah. Use your dagger, fool! What are you doing? Falkon, Highness, look at the water! Come on. Put your back into it. It won't budge. Maybe it wasn't meant to come out. The water is rising. You must get out of here. - This way! Make for the stairs! - Come, my prince! - Get out of the water! - Yes. Climb up here, my prince. Tarn! I'm coming, my prince! Let go! Where is she? I can't kill it! It's a machine! Sonja, we have to blind it! It's our only chance! Falkon, get out! It can't see! There. Keep it covered. Why have you been following me? To see that you reach the talisman safely. Why? I have to be sure that the talisman is destroyed. Centuries ago, the high lords of Arcadia... had entrusted the talisman to the priestesses... because only women may touch it. But to guard it, or to destroy it if need be... is still the duty of the High Lord. You? The High Lord? I was coming to the temple to see the talisman destroyed... when I found your sister dying... and learnt that the talisman had been stolen. So she guided me to you. Why didn't you tell me who you were? You didn't seem to want a man's help. But you needed it, so that's why I followed you. I had to be sure you reached the talisman. I see. I misunderstood. I thought you had another reason. I did. No. I'm under a vow. No man may have me unless he has beaten me in a fair fight. So the only man that can have you is one who has tried to kill you. That's logic.
