Morgan Le Fay

   The next addition to the story introduces the plot of King Arthur's half sister to kill him, and have her lover take the thrown with her as queen. Her plot begins when Arthur and his fellow knights are out riding in the woods hunting. Arthur and two of his fellow knights ride so far ahead in chase of a stag that they must rest where they end. The knights that accompany him are Morgan's lover Sir Uryens and her soon to be lover Sir Accolon, once she has used Uryens for what he is worth. Before falling into a sleep the three knights lay eyes on a vessel coming in from a lake and they board it to find it very finely furnished and nobody aboard it. Then the knights are greated by many woman and given food and wine, and then brought to rest. When they awaken they are no longer on this vessel, but instead they all reside in different places. Sir Uryens awakens next to Morgan, Sir Accolon awakens nearby to a well, and Arthur in a dungeon surrounded by fellow imprisoned knights. King Arthur is told that these knights are held captive by a selfish and unjust king who captures knights in hope that one will fight against his brother for rule of the lands. King Arthur tells that he will fight for this king on the condition that all the other knights be released. Meanwhile Sir Accolon is greated by a dwarf and told that he must carry out the plan to kill King Arthur. Accolon being under the enchantment of Morgan has no choice but to obey. He comes across King Outlake, the man who is a kind and just king that is trying to take his brothers lands as all the people wish. Outlake asks of him to fight as his champion for he was recently injured and could not. Accolon accepts for the king and is due for combat against King Arthur unknowingly. Morgan has excalibur and the scabbard delivered to Accolon to ensure his victory over Arthur, and has Arthur given a false excalibur and scabbard. In the fight Arthur quickly realizes that something is not right about his weapon and his sure to be defeated by Sir Accolon. Just as the final blow is about to be struck Nyneve, the woman who trapped Merlin, arrives to aid King Arthur for she has learned much from Merlin. She makes Accolon's arm go limp and he drops the sword. Arthur then snatchs up the sword along with the scabbard from the mans waist and begins a relentless counterattack on Sir Accolon. Accolon then begs for mercy and Arthur comes to realize who he is now fighting. Arthur tells Accolon that he has been fighting his king and Accolon begs for mercy and apologizes, and explains that it was the doing of his sister and tells of how jealous she is of him and that she wishes him dead. Arthur forgives his knight and before departing together grants the lands to the right king, Sir Outlake, but asks that he come with him in his journey back to Camelot. Sir Outlake agrees and they first travel to a nearby abbey to aid in the wounds the two knights suffered. Where a few days later Accolon dies from the wounds he suffered. Back in Camelot Morgan hears of her failed plan and rides off to find her brother in the abbey where he rests. She stumbles upon him sleeping and takes his magical scabbard. Arthur awakens the next morning to find it gone and rides after his sister accompanied by Sir Outlake. Morgan being almost discovered by her brother, tosses the scabbard into a lake and then turns herself and her followers to stone temporarily. Arthur swears vengence against his sister, but rides back to Camelot. Morgan then sends word to Arthur that she will bring about his death and goes to her lands to arm herself and her castles, because she truly fears her brother Arthur.
