"They're leaving! Sire, they're abandoning the battlefield."

"I wonder why."

"She realized we're too strong, surely?"

"I doubt that's the reason, Leon."

"You think the withdrawal is strategic?"

"Perhaps not even that. These days, she's ruled by impulsive rage, not cold reasoning."

"Why, then?"

"I'm not sure. But this I know: Morgana is driven. She'll fight until her last soldier is down, and fight alone after that. Her madness won't ever let her give up. So if they're leaving-"

"You think she's got something worse planned for us, Arthur?"

"I'm sure of it. We must stand ready. Warn the men."
