Paths will take you to whichever time I choose.

Find the nidus.

Bring it to me.

You will only see it in reflection, shining brightly.

To retrieve the nidus, you must form a circle round it.

Then you will link hands and think of my eyes.

Think of my...

I'll concentrate.

Druidic times.

We must be in druidic times.

Look!

Which of you is he?

Which one?

Is it you that has come to challenge Kynan?

You, the one of dark countenance that the prophets tell of? Me?

It was told that one such as you would come to challenge Kynan.

Challenge?

Is that not why you are here on the eve of winter solstice?

I don't know.

We were sent here.

We came to find... A sponsor, am I right?

I will be your sponsor.

Take it.

He will be a man in mind in years of youth.

Dark of face, swift of limb, strong of spirit.

His sword bright and gleaming, his shield of burnished gold.

What have I got to do?

I, as your sponsor, will instruct you.

Tell you how you must challenge Kynan.

For the high priestship of the droids.

How to match him in wisdom and in magic.

Come with me, my hero.

Saviour of our cause.

But... But?

What I have to tell this gallant youth is not for your ears.

You must wait here.

We've got to stay together. Yes, we've got to. Don't go, Phil. The secrets of

the order are not for those who are not fit, my child.

I might find something out. You know.

You wait here. I'll be all right.

I'm sure you will.

What about her?

Yes.

My friends will be all right, won't they? But of course, now come.

I have many things to show you.

Why is it so cold?

The old man said it was midwinter.

But it was summer when we left.

I know, but Rothko changed all that, didn't he?

Must be a hole up there.

Maybe it's a way out. How would we get to it? Anyway, we've got to wait for

Phil.

Yeah.

Let's get out of this snow.

The chief said it's for our protection.

Is it not the same in your land?

No.

You knew you were coming. How?

I have waited many years for the one who will defeat Kynan.

He has too much power.

All who challenge him have failed.

He holds a spell.

Or does he?

Is it she?

She who holds the spell?

She? She? No, you will defeat Kynan, and then... What?

The rightful high priest will be restored.

Would that be... you?

Oh, me?

Could be.

Maybe.

Was I?

When you have defeated Kynan, then we shall know.

That makes so sure I'll defeat him.

It will be spoken of, celebrated for many years.

Poets and singers will spread your glory throughout the land. You mean, what?

You mean you hope they will?

Oh, my brave lad, I know.

How?

It is an affliction, a spell I have upon me.

Kynon did it!

Or did he?

Or did she?

Perhaps you have the power to break the spell. No, it is not written in the

prophecy. What is the spell?

Kynon's curse upon me was that my mind be jumbled, fragmented, disjointed.

I do not even know who I am.

But the spell has one strange blessing.

I am in some way able to remember the future.

Remember the future?

Yes. And although vague at times, I am sure about you.

Now come, you have the sword.

Here is something more that will help you defeat Kynon.

You will only see the Nidus in reflection, shining brightly.

What do you seek in the image of the shield?

Something I... three of us have sent here for to find.

Ah. A precious object, would it be?

To a certain person, yes.

When you have defeated Kynon, you will have sufficient power to seek this.

What is it? The Noidus.

Noidus?

Noidus?

I won't.

the demons at my command.

Browse these frail limbs of mine and I shall cover you with boils.

Down.

My chair, quickly.

Cool.

I'm cool.

Let there be fire.

He's got powers like Rusko.

Maybe we ought to talk to him. Ask him about the Midas.

Not yet.

Kainan, do not waste your magic. Save it for the challengers.

Challengers? What challengers? I see no chall... Intruders.

I sense intruders.

Who dares to trespass on the sanctuary of Kainan?

Come out, sniveling heathens.

What shall we do? Run!

I will suffer for your stupidity. They're only children, Kainan. Let me

them. No, Mother!

Tell me why you are here, or I shall turn you into goat. No, pig.

I'm really sorry.

Honestly, we didn't know. We came to find something for a friend.

Do you know who I am?

I am Kainan, high priest of the Sacred Order of Druin.

Yes, we've heard of you, haven't we? Then why are you not... prostrate on the

ground before me?

Don't know.

Then I shall have to teach you manners. No, Kynon, you will do no such thing.

Oh, Elia, let me.

What, they need to be taught a lesson, or can't I turn them just into frogs?

I wish to talk to them.

Well, can't I just... Can't I just make them itch? No.

Oh, solar eclipse!

That's enough.

Follow me.

There is nothing to fear. You are safe with me.

Now, tell me your story.

I don't know if we should.

Why not?

You wouldn't believe us. I might.

Why do you have so much power over Kynon? I am his sponsor.

Now tell me, who sent you here?

Well, no.

Nobody sent her.

We came in to watch the challenge.

That's not true, is it?

Tell me.

Shall I let Kynan carry out his threat?

Rothko, he sent us.

Did he now?

Where have you come from?

We met that woman.

You shouldn't have told her. I'm sure that was really Belor.

She's the one who wants to kill Rothko.

Are you really sure?

I just know, that's all.

Well, what do we do? We're trapped.

What have you done with those children? I have sealed them in the tunnel while I

deal with their master. That is all you need to know.

That woman brings evil upon us.

Mother, I would hardly be alive, let alone high priest, were it not for her.

We would both be stinking peasants living in a hovel.

Don't forget that, will you, Mother?

Now I command respect throughout the land.

Respect? You think so?

They call you a tyrant?

An upstart with powers beyond his wisdom?

She is the power behind your throne.

It is she who has turned you towards evil.

Why, she won't even let you deal with two defenseless children. Silence!

Eliak is banished from this, my court.

Henceforth, I shall rule alone.

Cor!

Those children are sealed in a tunnel somewhere. I shall unseal them.

Find them.

Bring them here to me.

And I shall turn them into leeches.

Roscoe.

Roscoe.

Roscoe!

destroy you, Rothko, once and for all.

You send children, frightened children, to recover the Nidus.

They present no problem to me.

Neither do you.

Each blow diminishes your strength, Belor. You grow ever weaker, Rothko.

you will be no more.

But if I hold you here, even frightened children have a chance to get the Nidus

back.

Don't you see? That woman, Belor, she must control Kynon. That means if I

challenge him, I'll be against Belor.

Hank, we'd better call Roscoe. Ask for some help.

Link hands.

you will die and I will have the Nidus and rule over our kind forever.

Rosca.

Rosca. Oh, why doesn't he come?

He said he would if we needed him. Perhaps he's dead.

Belor.

I hear you, children.

I'm coming.

Rosca.

Rosca.

Rosca. Listen to me.

I cannot stay.

I am fighting Belor for my life.

If she reaches the labyrinth, all will be lost, and you will be unable to

return. You must find me in this time.

You mean here?

I told you I have lived in this time you are visiting.

But... Find me and speak my name.

Then I will be able to help you.

What does he mean?

Don't you see?

No, I don't see. And I suppose you've got it all worked out. Harry, let him

speak. The time -space matrix.

Here we go again. Harry!

I'll put it thimper, OK?

Good. Like Rothko said, he lived in this time, and we've got to find him. Maybe

he's not in the form we know.

Well, maybe he isn't, but we've still got to find him somehow.

Look! The wall! It's gone!

of weakness below.

Ah!

A victory.

A small one.

But welcome.

Where's the door? I don't remember. Why?

The sword. The one the old man gave us.

Come on.

Where did it go?

We've got some Rothko's powers now.

Did you see?

you were looking gossamer, giant.

Ha -ha!

I enjoyed that.

After so long, I still have some powers.

Why didn't you tell us before?

The spell that Kynon put on me made me forget who I was.

Even now, my thoughts are still jumbled up. You sent us here to get the Nida.

Well, you in the future sent us. I in the future?

Belor took it from you.

Belor. He sent it through the labyrinth.

Labyrinth.

These things you say have a familiar ring, but I cannot put them together in

mind.

The most pressing need is for you to challenge Kynan and defeat him.

Then my mind will be cleared. But at least I know who I am. I still have some

my powers left to me.

Come, now Rothko will be your champion.

Your sponsor in the challenge.

Stay here. These secrets are not for your ears.

The candidates must first relate the history of the Celtic tribes.

I can't do that. I will help you. You will be able to do it.

Then you must recite a poem in honor of Cainon.

I also have a way around that.

Then, and most important, the demonstration of magic powers.

The sword you will use for your manifestations, the shield to counter

Cainon may try to do to you.

But what do we do?

You should not be listing these secrets enough for your ears.

We must be with Phil in case we find the Nidus.

It takes all three of us to get it back to you in the future.

Yes, of course, the Nidus.

You must be hidden close by during the challenge.

Kynan's curse has made me forget the Nidus, blocked it from my mind.

Not until the spell is lifted will I be able to put things back into place.

You're quite sure you'll be able to make me do the magic, aren't you? Magic?

Oh, yes, of course I will.

Let's get on with it.

Who comes to

challenge the high priestship of Kynon?

You all know the price of failure.

Witness then the infinite power and wisdom of Kynon before you make your

decision. I summon up the sacrificial dagger of gold.

Look upon it well and pray that you do not make it closer acquaintance.

I know how he feels.

Don't worry. My powers are growing stronger, and I will pass them through

Now prepare to make the challenge.

Yes.

You and Helen get behind Kynon. Keep out of sight.

If you see the Nihilus in this, run to it. I'll join you. Then we'll make a

round it, right?

Okay.

I think he's in that stick of his.

We can't be sure, can we? Now go on.

Come. We must make the challenge now.

I challenge the high priesthip of Kynon.

Who are you, dark one?

What tribe do you come from?

The tribe of Bright, though.

She's not there.

Belor's not there.

Good. That gives us more chance to get the knight.

Where are the children?

Kynan has banished you.

And now you are all alone.

Leave this place.

Leave my son and take your enchantment from him. Not while he serves my

That's my way into fearing woman.

I curse you, evil spirit, by the sacred oak. I curse you. You pathetic people.

You can do nothing to me.

Nothing.

Think yourself lucky I did not turn you into stone.

Where are those children?

I don't know.

Has someone come to challenge Kynon?

Yes.

There is one.

An old priest.

Good. I am in time, then.

So, Kynon thinks he has no need of me.

We shall see.

Meanwhile, I shall make use of you.

Wearing a brooch in the front rank, bearing weapons in battle, a champion in

charge of the armies, there fell five times fifty before his blades.

High fifth at all shall be honoured as long as there is a minstrel. Stop, stop.

Your knowledge of the Celtic tribes is great.

Tediously so.

Proceed to the next demonstration.

Your poem in my honour.

Great Kynon, I have composed you a poem of 10 ,000 lines.

10 ,000?

Oh, great and mighty Kynon.

Enough! I'm sure it is a work of great merit.

See, mother, who is ruler now?

What need have I of Eliak? I shall destroy this challenger alone.

Show me your powers of magic.

I command the north wind and the south wind to blow.

I command the east wind and the west wind to blow.

Let the talisman speak of Kynon's glory.

Kynon shall be high priest no more.

No more.

Kynon is a fraud.

Not fit to be the high priest.

Stop this.

Stop this at once.

Let us see what you are, Kynon.

Let us see what you are without Eliak.

It's not the baton. Where is it, then?

Ah!

Oh, Eliak!

Help me!

Oh, where are you, Eliak?

Bravo, my hero.

The throne is yours.

You shall not have the Nidus.

So, Rothko, this is your strategy.

Three children together renew your power.

I deny you the Nidus.
