Quotes
-
Seer : The temple is at the center of the swamp where three trees grow as one.
Prince Colwyn : How can anything grow in that place? It smells of death.
Ynyr : Death and power are close cousins.
Torquil : I don't think I like your relatives, old man.
-
Ynyr : We all risk our lives on this journey. My risk is no greater than yours.
-
Ynyr : [Seeing the Widow of the Web as the Lyssa he remembers] How could I have left you?
Lyssa Widow of the Web : Your vision is your gift to me.
Ynyr : [Kneeling beside her] And your vision can be your gift to me.
-
Ynyr : [Last lines. Voiceover, reciting a prophecy] A girl of ancient name shall become queen. And she shall choose a king. Together they will rule the world. And their son will rule the galaxy.
-
Ynyr : [out of patience with Colwyn's attitude] There are kingly virtues other than bravery! COURTESY is one of them!
-
Ynyr : The beast has many weapons. This was one of them. A changeling.
[Looks at Rell]
Ynyr : How did you know?
Rell the Cyclops : I found the seer's body in the quicksand.
Prince Colwyn : He gave his life for us.
Titch : He was my only family.
Prince Colwyn : We're your family now.
-
[Ynyr leaves to go see The Widow of the Web]
Ynyr : From here, I go on alone.
Prince Colwyn : I'm going with you.
Ynyr : No. If two approach, she would certainly kill both. Alone, I may have a chance.
Torquil : Each to his fate, Colwyn.
Ynyr : Yes... Yes, each to his fate.
-
Ynyr : I cannot stop the sand.
Lyssa Widow of the Web : You cannot stop time. Go now. Save the other Lyssa.
-
Lyssa Widow of the Web : These are the sands of my life. Accept them and the spider will have no power to harm you. But your own life runs out with the sand.
Ynyr : But what about your life?
Lyssa Widow of the Web : I give it to the girl who bears my name.
-
[Ynyr has fixed Colwyn's wounds and starts to leave]
Prince Colwyn : Lyssa?
Ynyr : They will hold her in the Black Fortress.
Prince Colwyn : Can you lead me to it?
Ynyr : You must have help.
Prince Colwyn : I'll find men on the way.
-
Prince Colwyn : Who are you?
Ynyr : I am Ynyr.
Prince Colwyn : The old one?
Ynyr : Well, not as old as all that.
Prince Colwyn : You've come down from the Granite Mountains?
Ynyr : Yes. I'm needed now.
-
Prince Colwyn : Now we have no way to find the fortress.
Ynyr : There is one who might help.
Prince Colwyn : Who?
Ynyr : The Widow of the Web.
Torquil : That creature helps no one. For none who go there return.
Ynyr : She has great powers.
Torquil : Yeah, to kill.
Ynyr : She may not kill me. For I know her name.
Torquil : Her name is death.
Ynyr : She had another name once. An ancient and powerful name.
[Torquil has a look of disbelief and this gets Ynyr mad]
Ynyr : We all risk our lives on this journey. My risk is no greater than yours. I must try.
-
Ynyr : I seek the widow.
Lyssa Widow of the Web : Enter here, and die.
-
Ynyr : In the fortress you will need more than men and swords. You will need the power of the glave.
-
Prince Colwyn : The glave is nothing but an ancient symbol. It doesn't really exist.
Ynyr : It exists. Up there in a cave on the highest peak.
-
Ynyr : Lyssa? Lyssa?
Lyssa Widow of the Web : Who speaks that name?
Ynyr : It is I, Ynyr.
Lyssa Widow of the Web : [Lyssa turns her hourglass upsidedown] I give you this time.
-
Prince Colwyn : Lyssa!
Ynyr : She's alive.
Prince Colwyn : Where?
Ynyr : Stay still.
Prince Colwyn : Where?
Ynyr : For now, beyond your reach.
-
Ynyr : I came to find a king, and I find a boy instead.
-
Ynyr : Well, I too was young once. I too loved as you do. But your love will be luckier than mine. What I told you was that I knew how to find the fortress and that is by seeking the vision of the blind emerald seer.
Prince Colwyn : But his place isn't known either.
Ynyr : It is known to me. It is a day's journey from here. Come.
