| Arthur embarks on a solitary quest to retrieve the Golden Trident from the Fisher King and prove himself worthy of the Camelot throne, as the fantasy drama continues.
With the Prince beyond the protection of the citadel, Morgana sees an opportunity to use her dark magic and gives him a precious bracelet containing a Phoenix Eye. She insists he wears it at all times for protection but it saps him of his life force and he is left defenseless in the Fisher King's perilous realm.
With the help of Gwaine, can Merlin reach him in time and fulfill his own quest to protect the future king of Camelot?

| - Grettir - "I'm Grettir. I have to say, you're not as short as I thought you'd be. Before I let you pass, I'll give you a little advice. As Courage, there are two more things you will need to complete your quest: Strength and Magic."
- Gwen - "No, no. I know what I saw. I've known Morgana for so long. I didn't want to believe it. But she... isn't the person I knew. She's changed, Gaius. I don't think she means well to any of us any more."
- Fisher King- "Albion's time of need is near and in that dark hour you must be strong, for you alone can save her. Your powers are great, but you will need help. And that is what I'm giving you. When all seems lost, this will show you the way."
