The Count, Philip was a greedy, villainous, ambitious man. He had heard of the legend of the Holy Grail, the cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper, and that whoever drank from it would gain eternal life and wisdom.

He wanted to find the Grail and use it for his own glory and power.

He hired a group of mercenaries, led by the evil, cunning and ruthless wizard named Merlin. Merlin claimed to know the location of the Grail, hidden in a secret chapel in the forest of

Broceliande.

Because he had blatantly forced a fearful monk who knew the Holy Grail's location to guide him there.

They set off on their journey, hastily riding through the great land of King Arthur. King Arthur was a good and noble king, who ruled with justice and mercy. He had a loyal and brave knight named Sir Lancelot, who was his best friend and champion.

Sir Lancelot was also secretly in love with King Arthur's wife, Queen Guinevere, but he never acted on his feelings, out of respect for his king.

King Arthur had also heard of the legend of the Grail, but he did not seek it for himself. He believed that the Grail was a divine gift, meant for someone who was pure of heart and worthy of its grace.

It was calling for him to seek

The Holy Grail.

But he hid his many conflicted emotions accepting the quest and said goodbye to King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, who both wished him well. He felt a pang of sadness in his heart, as he did not know if he would ever

see them again.

He mounted his horse and rode away from the castle. He followed the directions given by the Lady of the Lake, until he reached the mysterious forest of Broceliande.

Meanwhile, the Count and Merlin had also arrived at the forest.

They were sure that they would soon find the Grail and claim it as their own, entering the forest, they followed a hidden path that Merlin knew.

They came across a clearing, where they saw a small chapel made of stone. They saw a faint light coming from inside.

Merlin said,

"There it is. The chapel of the Grail. We have found it."

The Count said,

"Excellent. Let us go inside and take what is ours."

He drew his sword and walked towards the chapel, leaving...
