In the quarters he has been given (the finest in Gwen Ystrat, except for those of the high priestess Jaelle), Arthur Pendragon feels the call of the Goddess.

Arthur refuses it. The danger of producing a son or daughter in this fertility rite is too great, and any child of his might be pulled into the unravelling of Arthur's destiny. After all, he has been cursed for the children, and for love.

Arthur locks his door, so that no woman might enter to test his resolve. Restless, he paces his quarters all night.

He is still awake just before dawn, when the priestesses begin to cry out.
