Storyline

King Uther Pendragon holds an annual tournament, where Prince Arthur Pendragon is to defend his title against other knights of the realm. Sir Valiant comes with a magic secret weapon: a shield from which the painted poisonous serpents can come to life and attack (Sir Valiant also murdered it's creator). Nursing snake-poisoned knight Ewan, Merlin finds out that's why the vile knight defeats adversaries as easily as Arthur (whom he informs). By the time the prince challenges Valiant, the only 'worthy' witness has died (by more serpentine magic), a servant's word is worthless against a knight: Arthur is furious to be humiliated, seeming scared, and fires Merlin. After enigmatic encouragement from the Great Dragon, Merlin decides against giving up- it's high time to resort to the magic from the book Gaius gave our hero. Written by KGF Vissers

Goofs

When Merlin breaks in to Valiant's chamber, he uses his magic to draw a bolt on the inner side of the door. Since no one is in the room, the door shouldn't have been bolted from the inside at all. See more »

Quotes

Arthur: I thought I told you to get out of my sight.
Merlin: Don't fight Valiant in the final tomorrow. He'll use the shield against you...
Arthur: I know.
Merlin: Then withdraw. You have to withdraw...
Arthur: Don't you understand? I can't withdraw. The people expect their prince to fight. How can I lead men into battle if they think I'm a coward?
Merlin: Valiant will kill you! If you fight you die!
Arthur: Then I die!
Merlin: How can you go out there and fight like that?
Arthur: Because I have to. It's my duty.
