Viviane thinks long and hard about what Morgaine says to her about her abuse of power. She wonders whether or not she is truly acting out of the benefit for Avalon and Britain or whether she truly is power hungry. While she thinks on this, she thinks about Uther, who still lies dying after almost six weeks from when he was first wounded. Viviane knows that he will die shortly. When she gets up to go outside, she has a vision, which she sees in the sky as the image of Uther appears before her. He tells her that he has died in a battle with the Saxons. Viviane discovers that he went in when he did not have to; it is his pride that gets him killed.
