Then Gawain asked how it was that the Lady of the Lake had brought King Ban’s son to Arthur, and Lancelot told more than he had yet confided even to Galehaut. He spoke of those years when he knew nothing about his father, and believed that Viviane was his mother. A time would come for him to avenge his father’s death and reclaim his birthright.

They spent several more days on the island, delighted to be with one another. Lionel spoke privately to Galehaut, giving him the queen’s message. Galehaut kept it to himself for a while, knowing that, the moment they heard about the invasion, and regardless of their condition, the two knights would insist on starting out. When their strength was somewhat restored, he gave them the news and the queen’s instructions. They were all to go to Scotland in disguise, but wearing the tokens Guenevere would recognize. She herself would inform them how they best could help the king. Galehaut asked the King of the Hundred Knights and the First Defeated King to go with them, along with a number of his household knights and squires. Lionel was included, as a reward for having carried out his missions with courage and good sense. Before setting out, they waited only long enough for a pack train to be loaded with their equipment.

They had not ridden very far when they encountered the girl who had helped Gawain find Lost Island. When they asked her if she had heard news of King Arthur, she told them that indeed she had – reliable news – but did not intend to give it away without a promise from them. They must agree to accompany her whenever she required it, up to a league’s distance away.

“We will do as you ask,” said Lancelot, and Galehaut also gave his word.

“The king is already at Arestel. You will find him besieging the fortress they call Saxon Rock.”

They commended her to God, and she returned their farewell. Then, leaving the pack train to follow them more slowly, the knights galloped northward.
