"We will fight him again though." Dina broke in quietly. "I agree with Gawain, but the choice is yours."

Tristram now spoke up.
"Let him go Sire. Warn him that if he comes up against us again, then he will have forfeited his life by his own choice."

"Yes, that is what I am inclined to do," Arthur agreed. "I do not wish to kill a man in cold blood if it may be avoided."

"Yes, that decision is most pleasing to me your grace." Dinadan replied. "I don't know how Gawain and Dindrane can expect our enemies to continue to surrender, and thus avoid needless combat if we kill our prisoners."

"Letting him go will warn them in advance that we are coming!" Dina exclaimed. "If there was any other choice I would say take him back to Camelot but that is not an option."

Tristram nodded in agreement at Dinadan's words and clapped his friend on the shoulder.
"Well said Dinadan!" he exclaimed, looking around at the group.

"No, it's not," Arthur said sadly. "But I don't think it would be right to kill him. We will make sure he is released at a point where there is nobody about and, hopefully, a place he doesn't recognise. Then if he is lost he will find it that much harder to inform someone of our presence, and we will be farther away by then. We can always go by boat on the way home, I suppose, and avoid the Saxons altogether."

"Yes, but what of the Irish?" Dinadan asked. "Have they not been troublesome of late?"

"King Angwyshance is no friend of mine but he dares not attack us while his daughter is my ward," Arthur said. "I don't think we need to worry about him so much. And you know, one of the treasures is said to be in Ireland."

"Yes, I suppose we would end up having to go that way in any case, so releasing him does little to alter our plans." Dinadan said confidently.

Arthur smiled as he realised that Gawain wasn't going to argue further.
"Indeed. Let's move on, then. We won't find those treasures by lingering."

At Arthur's words Tristram spurred his horse forward. "Come on you laggards. We'll be old men by the time we find these Treasures." With a laugh he was away.

Gawain laughed, and, cursing, was after Tristram.
"You won't beat me, Cornishman! I was born in the saddle!"

"How did your mother manage that?" Dinadan asked jokingly.

Gawain laughed and turned his head to look at Dinadan.
"My mother was a remarkable woman, sir! I don't believe I know half the things she was capable of."
