“How is he?” “I am stunned. That is all.” I looked around, “Where is Morgause?” Morcar became anxious, “She is gone!” “Find her. Have the camp put on alert, Lann Aelle.” My nephew had just arrived and he would seal off the camp and prevent the escape of this killer. Hogan Lann and I knelt by the wizard. His life was now in Gawan’s hands. “Can you save him?” “I know not. I think he has been poisoned.” He pointed to the fallen dish of mushrooms. “Morgause!” Morcar shook his head, “It was not her. It could not have been. There must be some mistake. I ate the mushrooms and I am not ill. Gawan you are wrong. Perhaps his heart gave out, he is old.” I whipped around to face my nephew. “I am older and he had dreamed his death. This was not it. And do not lie to me nephew. I can see that only one person has eaten the mushrooms- Myrddyn. Do not try to protect the witch or we may think you had something to do with it.”
