I have come to think that once the Druids had taken Avalon away from the world of constant counting and reckoning it began to happen there, too. But at last all was quiet, and Morgaine could sit alone before the fire in the great hall-Maline had taken her children off to bed -and think of all that had befallen her that day. he has brought peace in these isles-from Cornwall to Lothian. He has passed his own testing, said Morgaine, but he is young and untried: none thought that Arthur would betray his oath.

yet her heart was filled with rebellion. In all these years I have dwelt in the shelter of Avalon, and now it is Ceridwen, our Mother, who demands my all in return for all the shelter and safety I have had from her . He urged, Let Arthur know, Morgaine, that the kingdom of North Wales will not fall meekly under the rule of the Christians. and you have a kinswoman whose marriage is in your keeping.
