It bore many golden dishes, and each dish had a beautiful design carved upon it. Some dishes had vine-leaves, others ivy-leaves; some had angels with long robes sweeping back in graceful lines; and all these dishes held choice food. The king and Sir Accalon ate to their hearts' content. Then the damsels led them into two separate chambers.
The king could make no headway with his false steel, but whenever Sir Accalon struck at Arthur he drew blood. The king was much amazed. He grew weaker and weaker, but still he kept on his feet. Those who watched him were sorry for him; they thought they had never seen a man fight so bravely. At last Arthur's sword broke, and fell in two pieces on the ground.
As they looked over its shining waters, they saw a beautiful little ship, which sailed straight towards them, and ran up to the sands at their feet. It was all covered with golden silks, which waved in the gentle wind. King Arthur and Sir Accalon climbed into it and examined it thoroughly, but they found no one on board. They rested on two couches which were on the deck, until it grew dark.
All you need to do is to fight a great battle, which you shall win. I have been using my magic. It was I who sent the ship of silk to you and Arthur. I had him put into prison, and I had you brought here." Sir Accalon wondered very much. Then she told him of the fight King Arthur was to make against Sir Ontzlake. "But I have caused Sir Ontzlake to fall sick," she said, "and he cannot fight.
After this, Sir Damas gave back to the twenty knights all their money, and they went on their way rejoicing. King Arthur mounted his horse and rode over to the abbey, where he sat by the bed of Sir Accalon till the poor knight died. Then the king went back alone to his Court at Camelot. Once upon a time King Arthur and some of his knights were sailing in a ship.
Then Sir Accalon was filled with remorse, and he said: "Oh, my king, I have been a traitor to you, but now I am dying, and I am sorry for what I have done. I deserve my death." He told the king his name, and all about his treachery, and that of Morgan le Fay. King Arthur was sad. "It is very hard to be deceived in a friend," he said, "but I forgive you freely.
She said that she would guard them so carefully that they would never be stolen. As she was very eager, Arthur granted her request. One day in time of peace, King Arthur went out hunting with a certain knight named Sir Accalon, who was the lover of Morgan le Fay. They rode for a long time, and when they were tired, stopped to rest beside a great lake.
You shall take the true ones, and then you shall surely overcome him and rule this land." Then Sir Accalon was glad, and he hastened with the lady to the castle of Sir Ontzlake. They found him groaning because he was ill and because Sir Damas had sent him a challenge to fight with a knight, and he could not accept it.
He was much relieved when Morgan le Fay told him that Sir Accalon would fight in his place. Early in the afternoon, King Arthur and Sir Accalon rode into the field where the combat was to be held. Arthur did not know who Sir Accalon was, nor did any one else, except Morgan le Fay.
I will try to cure your wound, and sometime I shall trust you again." "You cannot cure me," said Sir Accalon. "I am dying. Let them carry me off the field." So he was taken to a neighboring abbey, while the people crowded about the king to congratulate him, but Arthur said: "I am sad at heart. My victory is no comfort to me, for to-day I have lost a friend whom I believed true."
