I wonder why Merlin said that all the men should meet. I
love the story of pulling the sword from the stone. That’s why I chose to read
this unit. I wonder who enchanted the
sword. I never heard to backstory of Arthur and his father Sir Ector and his
brother. It doesn’t say how old he is in this story. I didn’t know that the sword was taken by his
brother and he claimed he drew it from the stone. I also didn’t know that
Merlin knew Arthur as an infant.
A land full of gryphons and serpents. I wonder what the
mysterious creature is. Merlin can shape shift? I can’t believe that knight
took Arthur’s horse. Arthur has a sister? And she will birth the children who
will make his kingdom fall? Marlin is buried alive?!
The lady of the lake is from the King Arthur stories? I
would have asked what she wanted as a gift before agreeing to it. Did all of
Arthur’s weapons have special powers and enchantments?
I think it is interesting that his real father made the
round table that was made so famous by his stories. It was neat that
Leodegrance (the future queen’s father) gave it to Arthur because his father
made it. I didn’t know it could fit 150 people. That is huge! I wonder what
blessings were put on the knights. Why would Arthur allow his sister’s son to
be a knight in his court when he knows the prophecy?
Excalibur and the scabbard will be taken by a woman Arthur
trusts? I hate Vivien, or whatever her name is. I thought he meant he would be
buried alive, not crushed by a stone.
Is Morgan Le Fay the woman who betrays and kills Arthur? She
takes Arthur’s scabbard? Morgan had 40 horses with her? Were there men on them?
Does she have a small army? She turned her and her men into marble. Holy cow,
the messenger was killed by the mantle? I’m glad the lady of the lake was
honest and saved Arthur.
This section was really short and didn’t really give me much
to write notes on.
I think it is fun that the holy chapel of St. Augustine can
only be found by adventure. I wonder if Arthur ever got his scabbard back. I
wonder if the dream of Chaus is a warning or vision. The items from his dream
were found with him? I am confused. Chaus’s death makes me sad.
I thought this section would include a more detailed account
of how King Arthur obtained the Holy Grail. I wish it would have talked about
it in more detail. I am touched by the sincerity and loyalty of the knights.
