"I will tell the truth. I love you and I am afraid you will be killed. Therefore, I wish you to return to Camelot."
Sir Brune was very glad, and he said:
"I have pledged my word and must follow this quest. When I have succeeded we shall go together back to Arthur's Court."
"Give this adventure to me," said Sir Lancelot, "and go back now with the damsel."
But Sir Brune refused. Then Sir Lancelot said that they must undertake the adventure together, and Sir Brune consenting, they rode slowly forward. Soon they came to an abbey, where they rested for some days until Sir Brune was well.
Then they traveled as the damsel gave directions. She always knew what they had to do. At times they passed through woods full of wild beasts, some of which attacked them. Again they passed over enchanted meadows where wicked magicians tried to cast spells over them. They also fought with many knights. However, they escaped all dangers, although it is certain that Sir Brune would never have succeeded without the help of Sir Lancelot.
At length the damsel Elinor told them that they were nearing the last adventure. She pointed to a castle on a hill; a square structure built of black stones, with a turret on top. The damsel told them that at the gate of the castle were two huge dragons. These they must slay.
"Whose is the castle?" asked Sir Brune.
"It belongs now to the wicked Lord Brian of the Isles," answered the damsel.
At this Sir Brune gave such a loud shout that the dragons on top of the hill heard him and roared in reply.
