Lancelot was on his way back to his horse as soon as Morgan had mentioned Galahad was in trouble, "in the direction of the hoof prints then?" He asked Sangramore, readying his horse to go while he was confirming it. If Galahad was hurt, it would upset his mother to no end and he would lose his only brother.

"Aye," Sagramore agreed. "It's the only lead we've got."
He sent his horse into a fast gallop. Morgan was slower in readying her horse, seeming half in a daze. She urged the knights onwardds, saying "Don't wait for me. It will wear off in a moment!" Soon they were all on their way forward, hoping to find Galahad.

Despite Morgan telling them to go on Lancelot did not really set his horse to full canter until she was ready, just in case.
As soon as it became apparent Morgan was fine, he hurried with her after sangramore.

As Morgan and the men road, Morgan could be heard murmuring something. Her horse seemed to go faster than it should and then, so did the horses of the men. Whatever she'd done, she had increased their speed.

Some time later, the group spotted a cave in the distance. Morgan leaned forward in her saddle.
"I saw that cave in my vision!" She cried. "Galahad must be near here."

"Then we should hurry, if he was about to enter a fight when you saw him, then it could well be over and he may be in need to rescue." Lancelot said, trying to spur his horse on.

Morgan nodded and spurred her horse on faster. Soon enough they reached the mouth of the cave. A dim light inside showed that Galahad and the wounded soldier were were lying guarded by the two unwounded men.

Lancelot dismounted and headed for the mouth. He saw the wounded and narrowed his yes, a hand on the hilt of his sword just in case, "what happened here?"

"Lancelot?" Galahad moaned semi conscious. "Is that you?"

"Galahad? Are you alive?" Lancelot, relieved his brother was not dead, "If you are, you have some explaining to do."

"It is you." Galahad muttered. "Go away. I need explain nothing."

"Tell that to Lady Morgan, you bratty child," Lancelot replied testily and glared past the two uninjured men at his bother.

"Shes here too?" Galahad groaned.
"Tell me, are there any bandits left?" He asked the older knight, ignoring his brother. "I would rather face another one of them."

The old knight had his hand on his sword hilt still. Fearing Lancelot an enemy, he had been preparing to fight him until he realised they knew one another.
"They are all dead," he replied. "Unless there are more that were not in the cave at the time. I searched the cave while you were unconscious. There was no-one else and no way to escape save the entrance."
Morgan dismounted and, handing the reins to Sagramore, she approached the cave. As she stepped inside to join the men she said "You are a brave fool, Sir Galahad."

"Lady Morgan! What a delightful surprise." Galahad said, trying to pull himself to his feet and act as if he was unhurt.
