‘. . . Since the far
off days of freedom and justice won by King Arthur, the fair land of Britain had many
times fallen under the shadow of cruelty and injustice.
In the last few centuries,
many of the non-humans such as we birds, suffered even more than the common people - and
that is saying a lot. Yet it was always foretold that Arthur would one day return, and we
knew that when he did, he would have a power far greater than the sword.
‘What a day that would
be, and we could believe it, for such things have happened on other planets in far
flung galaxies
of the material universe. So we waited, and we struggled on, but we never
lost hope, and one spring day, at the beginning of the Sixth Age, a new Arthur did indeed
come to our rescue . . . |
