Then Sir Accalon was afraid. Yet he thought that Arthur was so weak that he could still be overcome. So he sent for a second sword, and they began to fight again. Arthur's strength, however, had largely returned, and in a short time he gave Sir Accalon a mortal stroke. Sir Accalon fell to the ground, and the king, leaning over him, cried: "Tell me who you are."
He went to the lady, who said to him: "My dear lord, the day has come when you can have great power if you want it. Should you like to be king of this land, instead of Arthur?" Now Sir Accalon was a traitor at heart. He wanted very much to be king, even if the good Arthur was to be killed; so he said: "Yes, truly." Then she said: "You shall be king, and I shall be your queen.
She caused Excalibur to fall out of the hand of Sir Accalon and drop near Arthur. When it fell, Arthur saw that it was his own Excalibur. He grasped its handle and some of his strength came back. He struggled to his feet, and rushing up to Sir Accalon, seized the scabbard of Excalibur and threw it far over the field. "Now," he said, "send for a second sword and fight with me."
When Sir Accalon saw this, he cried: "Now, yield to me." "I will never yield," said the king, "and if you do not get me another sword, you will be shamed before all men, for it is an unknightly thing to fight with a defenseless man." "I do not care," said Sir Accalon. "If you will not yield, defend yourself with your shield as best you can." He rushed at the king.
I shall go with you to his castle and you can offer to fight for him." "I to fight with the king!" cried Sir Accalon. "He would surely overthrow me." "He cannot," said Morgan le Fay, "because you are to fight with his sword. A little while ago he sent to me for Excalibur and the scabbard, but I returned him a false sword which looks like Excalibur, and a false scabbard.
So when Arthur and the knights were led out of prison, the king sent the damsel who had visited them to Morgan le Fay for his sword and scabbard. Meantime, the knight who had accompanied Arthur on the little ship, Sir Accalon, also awoke. He found himself in the palace of Morgan le Fay, and he wondered very much where Arthur was.
Two sides of the field were full of people who came to watch, half of whom were friends of Sir Damas, and the other half were friends of Sir Ontzlake. Arthur and Sir Accalon rode at each other so furiously that at the shock of the meeting both fell off their horses. Then they began to fight fiercely with their swords.
