Ergo: I am Ergo the magnificent. Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision. And I do not travel with peasants and beggars. Goodbye!

---

Princess Lyssa: Power is fleeting; love is eternal.

---

Princess Lyssa: My father says that good fighters make bad husbands.
Prince Colwyn: Well, that depends.
Princess Lyssa: On what?
Prince Colwyn: On whether you expect a husband to follow you around. Jump every time you clap your hands.
Princess Lyssa: Wouldn't you jump for me? No of course not. You're a warrior.

---

Prince Colwyn: The reward is freedom... and fame!
Torquil: Freedom? We have it! And fame? Nah. It's an empty purse. Count it, go broke. Eat it, go hungry. Seek it, go mad!

---

Ergo: If I had my wish I'd be out of this gloomy place right away. If I really had my wish I'd be sitting on top of a gooseberry pie as big as a mountain. No, that's a bit greedy. I'll settle for one as big as a house.
Titch: I'd wish for a puppy.
Ergo: Only one puppy? If you're wishing why not wish for a hundred?
Titch: Only want one.
Ergo: Well that's a foolish wish. And you Rell, what would you wish for?
Rell the Cyclops: Ignorance.

---

Ergo: My name is no jest, beanpole. It's all very well to have a short name when you're twenty feet tall, but small people need large names to give them weight.
Rell the Cyclops: Your actions give you weight, my friend.

---

Ergo: There was a difference of opinion concerning a gooseberry pie. The man left it sitting on his windowsill. What did he expect?
Prince Colwyn: Perhaps he expected to eat it.

Eirig: Twenty men were dispatched to you.
Turold: We lost three hundred getting here.
Eirig: I didn't choose this marriage, Turold.
Turold: Nor did I Eirig.
Prince Colwyn: I chose it. Your daughter chose it. It'll be done.
Eirig: Can you lead this army with mine against the slayers?
Prince Colwyn: Whatever army I have I'll lead against them. Till I've won, or am dead.

---

Ynyr: The beast has many weapons. This was one of them. A changeling.
[Looks at Rell]
Ynyr: How did you know?
Rell the Cyclops: I found the seer's body in the quicksand.
Prince Colwyn: He gave his life for us.
Titch: He was my only family.
Prince Colwyn: We're your family now.

---

Ergo: He marches us towards a solid face of rock. The man has raisins in his braincase.

---

Ynyr: We three will go on. The rest will remain here.
Ergo: We four will go on. I'm not staying behind with these criminals.

---

Seer: The temple is at the center of the swamp where three trees grow as one.
Prince Colwyn: How can anything grow in that place? It smells of death.
Ynyr: Death and power are close cousins.

---

[Colwyn and Ergo meet Torquil and his gang for the first time]
Ergo: Robbers.
Prince Colwyn: They're men. We don't know yet whether they're robbers.
Ergo: Faces that ugly could only belong to robbers. Don't worry, I'll turn them all into pigs.

---

[Ynyr leaves to go see The Widow of the Web]
Ynyr: From here, I go on alone.
Prince Colwyn: I'm going with you.
Ynyr: No. If two approach, she would certainly kill both. Alone, I may have a chance.
Torquil: Each to his fate, Colwyn.
Ynyr: Yes... Yes, each to his fate.

---

Ynyr: I cannot stop the sand.
Lyssa Widow of the Web: You cannot stop time. Go now. Save the other Lyssa.

---

Lyssa Widow of the Web: 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.
Ynyr: But what about your life?
Lyssa Widow of the Web: I give it to the girl who bears my name.

---

[Slayers are attacking the castle]
Prince Colwyn: The slayers.
Turold: Arm yourselves.
Princess Lyssa: We'll fight together.
Prince Colwyn: No. Is there a safe way out of the castle?
Eirig: An underground passage.
[Lyssa hugs her father]
Eirig: Go!

---

[Colwyn and Lyssa are trying to escape from the slayers]
Princess Lyssa: My place is with you.

Ynyr: For now, beyond your reach.

---

Ynyr: I came to find a king, and I find a boy instead.

---

[Ynyr has fixed Colwyn's wounds and starts to leave]
Prince Colwyn: Lyssa?
Ynyr: They will hold her in the Black Fortress.
Prince Colwyn: Can you lead me to it?
Ynyr: You must have help.
Prince Colwyn: I'll find men on the way.

---

Ergo: Where are my papers? Blast, I must really get organized one of these days.

---

Ynyr: Well, I too was young once. I too loved as you do. But your love will be luckier than mine. What I told you was that I knew how to find the fortress and that is by seeking the vision of the blind emerald seer.
Prince Colwyn: But his place isn't known either.
Ynyr: It is known to me. It is a day's journey from here. Come.

---

Prince Colwyn: Who are you?
Ynyr: I am Ynyr.
Prince Colwyn: The old one?
Ynyr: Well, not as old as all that.
Prince Colwyn: You've come down from the Granite Mountains?
Ynyr: Yes. I'm needed now.

---

Torquil: I don't kill men without good reason.
Prince Colwyn: Nor do I. And be thankful for it.

---

Torquil: Silence! You're surrounded by a hundred men.
Prince Colwyn: A hundred is not enough.
Torquil: Well what have we here? A fighter?
Prince Colwyn: Besides you're short by about ninety men.

---

Ergo: Got any sugarballs?
Titch: No.
Ergo: Gumdrops?
Titch: No.
Ergo: What kind of boy are you? Boys always have candy.

---

Ergo: Rell, I'll ride with you.
Rell the Cyclops: I have to stay here, my friend.
[they shake hands]
Ergo: We had no time.

---

Prince Colwyn: You've been with us for a long way now.
Rell the Cyclops: Since the beginning. When I learned that the old one had come down, I knew that the time had come.
Prince Colwyn: Join us then. All men need company.
Rell the Cyclops: Yes, all men.
[they shake hands]

---

Ergo: You are his queen?
Princess Lyssa: Yes.
Ergo: Then we've won.
Princess Lyssa: Yes.
Ergo: Oh boy, I should have stuck to puppies.

---

Prince Colwyn: Would you follow a king to the black fortress?
Torquil: Now I know you're a lunatic. I wouldn't follow me own father to the black fortress.

---

Titch: We're in sight of the trees, brother.
Seer: He who seeks the knowledge must lead me. No one else may approach.

---

Kegan: Well.
Merith: Well what?
Kegan: Who's the girl now?
Merith: Her village burned down, she had nowhere to go do I took her in.
[Kegan stares at the girl]
Merith: Look at her again and I'll throw her out.
Kegan: Merrith, oh my sweet, she doesn't hold a candle to you. She's not even pretty.
Merith: Yeah.
Kegan: Now look petal, faithful is my middle name.

---

Velta: You must eat something.
Prince Colwyn: I'm not hungry.
Velta: Please. For me?
[Colwyn accepts]
Prince Colwyn: Thank you.

---

Velta: Let me comfort you.
Prince Colwyn: I can't accept comfort when she has none.
Velta: You'll not then?
Prince Colwyn: I cannot.
[Velta blinks her eyes and reveals that she's a changling]
Velta: My master says make him betray her. If not, then kill him. Yes, he is my master. These talons were a heartbeat away from your throat. I could've killed you in an instant... but in the hour that I knew you, I loved you.

---

Prince Colwyn: Now we have no way to find the fortress.
Ynyr: There is one who might help.
Prince Colwyn: Who?
Ynyr: The Widow of the Web.
Torquil: That creature helps no one. For none who go there return.
Ynyr: She has great powers.
Torquil: Yeah, to kill.
Ynyr: She may not kill me. For I know her name.
Torquil: Her name is death.
Ynyr: She had another name once. An ancient and powerful name.
[Torquil has a look of disbelief and this gets Ynyr mad]
Ynyr: We all risk our lives on this journey. My risk is no greater than yours. I must try.

---

Ynyr: Do not use it until you need it.
Prince Colwyn: How will I know when?
Ynyr: You'll know.

---

Ynyr: I seek the widow.
Lyssa Widow of the Web: Enter here, and die.

---

Ynyr: In the fortress you will need more than men and swords. You will need the power of the glave.

---

Prince Colwyn: The glave is nothing but an ancient symbol. It doesn't really exist.
Ynyr: It exists. Up there in a cave on the highest peak.

---

Ynyr: Lyssa? Lyssa?
Lyssa Widow of the Web: Who speaks that name?
Ynyr: It is I, Ynyr.
Lyssa Widow of the Web: [Lyssa turns her hourglass upsidedown] I give you this time.

---

Ergo: You are no great chooser of roads, old man.
Ynyr: This way will save us half a day's travel.

---

Ergo: Wait! Wait for me. I've just remembered, I have urgent business in this direction.
Prince Colwyn: What business?
Ergo: Staying alive.

---

Rhun: Rocks in our pockets and gravestones above our heads is all we'll get from this journey.

---

Rhun: [dying] I was wrong. The journey was worthwhile. Finish it for me.

---

Seer: Here is the knowledge you seeeeeekkkk!

---

Torquil: [about the journey and Colwyn's offer to unlock the manacles] If we succeed, unlock them. Otherwise I'll die with them on.

---

Torquil: [Colwyn gives the king's key to Torquil to rid himself of his manacles] I thought I might keep them as a momento of our journey.
Prince Colwyn: Well, the key is yours.
Torquil: Only the king and his Lord Marshall carry this key!
Prince Colwyn: Right.
[Torquil laughs realizing he's just been appointed Lord Marshall]
