Ynyr
- Seer: The temple is at the center of the swamp where three trees grow as one.
- Prince Colwyn: How can anything grow in that place? It smells of death.
- Ynyr: Death and power are close cousins.
- Torquil: I don't think I like your relatives, old man.
- Ynyr: The beast has many weapons. This was one of them. A changeling.
- [Looks at Rell]
- Ynyr: How did you know?
- Rell the Cyclops: I found the seer's body in the quicksand.
- Prince Colwyn: He gave his life for us.
- Titch: He was my only family.
- Prince Colwyn: We're your family now.
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: These are the sands of my life. Accept them and the spider will have no power to harm you. But your own life runs out with the sand.
- Ynyr: But what about your life?
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: I give it to the girl who bears my name.
- Ynyr: [Seeing the Widow of the Web as the Lyssa he remembers] How could I have left you?
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: Your vision is your gift to me.
- Ynyr: [Kneeling beside her] And your vision can be your gift to me.
- Ynyr: [Last lines. Voiceover, reciting a prophecy] A girl of ancient name shall become queen. And she shall choose a king. Together they will rule the world. And their son will rule the galaxy.
- Ynyr: [out of patience with Colwyn's attitude] There are kingly virtues other than bravery! COURTESY is one of them!
- [Ynyr leaves to go see The Widow of the Web]
- Ynyr: From here, I go on alone.
- Prince Colwyn: I'm going with you.
- Ynyr: No. If two approach, she would certainly kill both. Alone, I may have a chance.
- Torquil: Each to his fate, Colwyn.
- Ynyr: Yes... Yes, each to his fate.
- Ynyr: I cannot stop the sand.
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: You cannot stop time. Go now. Save the other Lyssa.
- Prince Colwyn: Who are you?
- Ynyr: I am Ynyr.
- Prince Colwyn: The old one?
- Ynyr: Well, not as old as all that.
- Prince Colwyn: You've come down from the Granite Mountains?
- Ynyr: Yes. I'm needed now.
- Ynyr: Lyssa? Lyssa?
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: Who speaks that name?
- Ynyr: It is I, Ynyr.
- Lyssa Widow of the Web: [Lyssa turns her hourglass upsidedown] I give you this time.
- [Ynyr has fixed Colwyn's wounds and starts to leave]
- Prince Colwyn: Lyssa?
- Ynyr: They will hold her in the Black Fortress.
- Prince Colwyn: Can you lead me to it?
- Ynyr: You must have help.
- Prince Colwyn: I'll find men on the way.
- Prince Colwyn: Now we have no way to find the fortress.
- Ynyr: There is one who might help.
- Prince Colwyn: Who?
- Ynyr: The Widow of the Web.
- Torquil: That creature helps no one. For none who go there return.
- Ynyr: She has great powers.
- Torquil: Yeah, to kill.
- Ynyr: She may not kill me. For I know her name.
- Torquil: Her name is death.
- Ynyr: She had another name once. An ancient and powerful name.
- [Torquil has a look of disbelief and this gets Ynyr mad]
- Ynyr: We all risk our lives on this journey. My risk is no greater than yours. I must try.
- Prince Colwyn: Lyssa!
- Ynyr: She's alive.
- Prince Colwyn: Where?
- Ynyr: Stay still.
- Prince Colwyn: Where?
- Ynyr: For now, beyond your reach.
- Ynyr: Well, I too was young once. I too loved as you do. But your love will be luckier than mine. What I told you was that I knew how to find the fortress and that is by seeking the vision of the blind emerald seer.
- Prince Colwyn: But his place isn't known either.
- Ynyr: It is known to me. It is a day's journey from here. Come.
