This could offer them the chance to preserve their language and culture. Arthur is concerned that they are already unable to feed the Fey. Gawain immediately shoots the idea down, pointing out there are Fey hiding in other villages. Druna could move the Fey to Byzantium on three ships. Gawain and Nimue meet up with Arthur, who has brought Druna (TK), a smuggler, over to their camp. Iris looks on in anger while Morgana stands at the tail end of the crowd, repeating Nimue’s new title in a monotone voice, touching her lips as a spider crawls across her eye. Gawain raises his fist in solidarity to the Fey Queen and the others follow him. Nimue gives the sword a fitting name for the new role she’s given herself: the Sword of the First Queen.

She vows to be their sword, shield, and that the Fey will live free again.
“This is our courage, our light in all of this darkness, our hope in all of this despair,” she tells them as the sword twinkles. The Fey watch as she pulls out the sword and explains its origins and significance to their people, the fact that it wields the power of their ancestors. Nimue points out that she, too, has experienced great loss at the hands of the Red Paladins. She accepts this and walks over to a bridge so she can overlook the other Fey people, who recognize the smoke and fire stunt she pulled at the mill. Gawain pulls Nimue aside to let her know the others are losing hope and he has nothing to offer him - all they have now is Nimue. Morgana tells the other two to retrace their steps as she insists she will retrieve the sword. Nimue is immediately horrified by what she just did. Morgana watches on as Nimue tosses the sword into the abyss. Keza chastises her to stop whining and lead with the sword. “I’m sick of honor bought with blood!” she exclaims as she kicks bones away. Nimue doesn’t buy it - all the sword wants is death. Nimue’s character is stronger than Merlin’s, Keza tells her. Keza senses her worry and points out the Devil’s Tooth chose her for a reason. Nimue has flashbacks of Merlin wielding the sword, death and destruction around him.

As they make their way through the cave they find themselves on a ledge, surrounded by a series of bones. Nimue sees it slightly differently (maybe drawing on her own experience here?) - the Cailleach might have not known her true nature when she first met the Celts. The people undefended find themselves at the mercy of demons, Kaze notes. She demanded payment, however: children to be consumed by the spider god. The next shows the Cailleach offering the people help, then turning the blades to protect the innocent. The first depicts the Celts who defied Caesar. The trio enter the dark cave and survey the artwork painted on the walls, torches lighting the way. He searches her room, finding her clothes and giving them a deep sniff. Nimue pauses as she exits the room, but the Weeping Monk senses something different about her presence as he subtly looks behind him. “Then, and only then, the heavenly fires will come for Merlin,” he says. Carden wants the Paladins to make the Fey extinct so they can possess the sword. The Weeping Monk enters with lists of the Fey Elders who are still alive. Carden knows a Fey witch escaped with the sword - the symbol is marked on Nimue’s victim. Nimue leaves to get dressings but overhears Carden talking about the sword and takes a jug from an unsuspecting nun to give herself a reason to enter the room. Igraine pulls a root out of the man’s throat. The other Paladins blame “the Fey girl” for his fate. The injured one is bloody, with bits of branches and roots coming out of places they most definitely should not be. Igraine and a well-disguised Nimue enter the room where the Paladins are being kept. Nimue and Pym try to make a quick escape once her secret is revealed, but several of the Red Paladins chase them through the crowd. Arthur warns Nimue the dice are weighted but she presses on anyway, knowing she can use her powers. A man interrupts to wage a dice bet: if he wins, he gets a kiss. Arthur may be young and scruffy (and, apparently, has a history of thieving), but turns out he’s a knight. The trio grab drinks as they learn about each other. Nimue walks away so he chases her, turning his flirt and exchanging names so they aren’t strangers - ladies and gentlemen, meet Arthur. Nimue and Pym make their way through the village to a man who’s singing to a small crowd. They arrive at the dock and the ship isn’t there, however, and won’t be back for six months.
She’ll cut her hair so no one knows she’s a girl and she’s got 20 silver - she’s got this, folks. Gawain (Matt Stokoe) took the Brass Shield, the only ship that crosses the sea to the desert kingdoms, but Nimue wants to get on it. Nimue and Pym are riding Nimue’s horse as they discuss the mission.
