Quotes4

  • Ommadon: I have weapons you would not dare use. Fear rules men. By summoning all the dark powers, I will infest the spirit of man so that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. What havoc and raze. Turn brother against brother. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines. I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy... and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.
  • Carolinus: Stop! This must not be!
  • Solarius: We want none of your dark magic.
  • Ommadon: While your powers die, mine will flourish. Man will never inherent my domain. For I am making man mine. He will understand and come to desire my magic. It is inevitable. You shall see. This dark determination I swear. By this red crown. The source of all my dark power. So be it! Now and forever!
  • Princess Melisande: ... Father, who are these Brothers? You've never spoken to me of them. I know you're the Green Wizard of nature's realm, but the others?
  • Carolinus: My brother Solarius is the Blue Wizard, lord of the depths and the heights. His realm is outer space, deepest ocean, highest mountain.
  • Solarius: [reading Carolinus' message] ... My brother calls council, but why? Lunarian! Lunarian!
  • [His dragon-companion appears, Solarius steps onto his back and they fly away]
  • Carolinus: ... And my brother Lo Tae Zhao, the Golden Wizard. His realm is light and air; he is lord of transcendence, healing, and contemplation.
  • Lo Tae Zhao: [reading Carolinus' message] ... I was expecting this; it was inevitable. Shen Zhu! Shen Zhu!
  • [His dragon-companion appears, they fly away]
  • Carolinus: And finally, high in Loathly Tower, my last brother Ommadon, the Red Wizard. Lord of the devil's domain, seducer of darkness, master of that heartless magic the world calls black.
  • Ommadon: [laughs] Bryagh! Bryagh! My fool brother has just realized the inevitable. Well, I'll go; it should prove amusing. Bryagh, I say!
  • [His dragon-companion appears in a blaze of fire and they fly away]
  • Carolinus: ... Astride the terrible Bryagh, he is absolute ruler of that inferno-like mass of primordial filth which is his domain.
  • Princess Melisande: But why does antiquity force you to include something so abominable?
  • Carolinus: As evil is a part of all things, evil is a part of our world of magic. For the irony of all existence is that good would be totally impotent, without the contrast of evil.
  • Carolinus: I propose we create the last realm of magic.
  • [an image of the realm appears on the table]
  • Solarius: Magnificent!
  • Lo Tae Zhao: Incredible!
  • Carolinus: The magic realm, where all enchanted things might retreat before their age ends. If we consolidate our powers, there will be enough magic left to create such a place, sealed off from the rest of the world by the mists of invisibility.
  • Ommadon: You would defeat science and logic with a foolish retirement village?
  • [laughs]
  • Carolinus: Not defeat, my brother, enhance!
  • Carolinus: Tonight, after you both have returned to your realms, I will turn to Antiquity for the choice. Its wisdom shall prevail.
  • Solarius: Well, whoever Antiquity chooses, your leader will have his job cut out for him. I leave him this - the Shield of Saturn! Forged from the mystic dust of her rings, it will deflect any dark magic spell.
  • Lo Tae Zhao: I have only implements of peace, but perhaps he will find the Flute of Healing Sleep useful. It is from the Temple of the Muses. When played, it will lull the most fearsome dragon to sleep.
  • Carolinus: Thank you, good brothers. Ommadon will not prevail, and his crown shall be captured.
