"C'est une longue histoire, une histoire de grand amour, de grande tragédie, de magie et de mystère, de triomphe et de désastre. C'est mon histoire. Mais c'est l'histoire surtout de la Table ronde où, autrefois, siégeait une assemblée de chevaliers, les hommes les meilleurs et les plus valeureux que le monde ait jamais connus. Je commencerai par le commencement, quand j'étais encore un enfant à peine plus âgé que tu ne l'es aujourd'hui".
