069:

Balyn comes upon the knight Garnysh who wants to kill himself but Balyn stops him and they ride together to the nearby castle to find the woman Garnysh loves.

068:

When Balyn kills Pellam the whole castle falls down. Pellam is the grail king, a castrated fertility God, the Fisher King, and the spear is the spear that struck Jesus when he was on the cross. Merlin rescues Balyn but the whole land is now a total wasteland.

067:

Balyn kills Garlon and runs him through with the spear that Garlon killed the damesell’s knight with. Problem now is that he has dishonored his host, Pellam and so they begin to fight, though Balyn now needs a weapon.

066:

King Pellam’s feast is coming up and this invisible knight will be there, too. Note about blood: blood is a paradox in that it is regenerative (healing properties) as much as it’s loss brings death. Blood ties families together, blood heals, and Christ’s blood is eternal (sangreal). Anyway, it takes 15 days to get the the feast but will not give up his sword to enter the castle.

065:

Balyn fins golden inscription declaring Gawayne will revenge Lotte’s death by killing Pellynore. The damesell is ambushed at a castle. Balyn tries to fight the knights, but the custom is a damesell must be bled into a silver dish before she can pass.

064:

Mourning knight goes to Arthur leaving his damesell behind but the invisible knight, Garlon, suddenly appears and kills the knight under Balyn’s warrant. He’s now shamed with this death because he’s responsible. Balyn now is with the damesell and they come upon another knight. They almost fight but then Garlon kills this knight, too. Balyn not having a lot of luck protecting people.

063:

Merlin warns of the Mordred prophecy (remember, Merlin knows past, present, and future – at least of those who have sin and secrets). Arthur hears a knight making “grete dole”. Balyn rides up and Arthur asks him to fetch the sad knight but this sad knight does not want to go to Arthur unless Balyn promises to be his warrant.

062:

Morgan le Fey, Arthur’s sister and wife of Uwayne, makes a false scabbard after he foolishly lets her have it even after Merlin warning him to keep it safe.

061:

Arthur fights Lotte, Pellynore (of the questing beast) shows up and kills Lotte. Gawayne is not pleased at all about this and we get a foreshadowing of Pellynore’s death at Gawayne’s hand. Remember, Lotte is Gawayne’s, Aggravayne’s, Gaheris’, and Gareth’s father and while these will be round table knights, you can see how there are factions within it that hate each other due to blood lines and revenge.

060:

Arthur in battle has a good day but is even more impressed with the Knight of Two Swords and his brother. Merlin knows one king will die today, either Arthur or Lotte of Orkney. Merlin is on Arthur’s side.
