[Lancleot's King had been a Leader in Peace, as well as War. This had set Arthur apart from the King's preceding her-- her belief in, and fostering of, the Humanity of Men. The there might be a higher goal than Wealth or Power.
It had been a Beautiful Dream, and he had dreamt it, and had brought about its ruin, and had mourned its loss. Tattered and bloodied though it might be, he holds it a thing of Beauty still-- a very Human beauty.
Lancelot speaks as if to himself.]
In my world, we existed together, Human and Faerie. They were ever a Powerful race, with their own Realm, their Strange Magic, and their own savage Morals. I was raised there, as a Human Champion-- the only Mother I had ever known put my Sword into my Hand and sent me forth into the Human World, to live as one of them, as I was Born.
Say what you will-- I do believe true Power feels no threat from Others. I never held destruction necessary simply because I could wreak it so well.
