Princess Melisande
- Princess Melisande: May... may I join him, father?
- Carolinus: [sadly] Of all questions, I feared that the most.
- Princess Melisande: May I?
- Carolinus: That must be your decision child.
- [he hugs her]
- Carolinus: Go, and you may never return to the magic realm. For even now the great dome of invisibility grows over our world to protect its sanctity for all time. And no one on the outside may enter its boundaries, save for the length of a dream, or a flash of an inspiration. But it will stay, through the years and the centuries and the ages, a part of man for all time. And whenever man needs magic, we will be here.
- Carolinus: I call on all Antiquity to give me magic enough!
- [clutching his head]
- Carolinus: How does it begin? Carvic crome zohmini lava - Yes! Carvic crome, zohmini, lavathol...
- Princess Melisande: [screams] Ahh! Father! He's dropping Sir Peter!
- Bryagh: [laughing] May a rock crush your skull.
- [he drops Peter]
- Carolinus: Untumblay varistone misacronis madlayunrot...
- [a fiery pentacle forms on the ground before him]
- Carolinus: Oh the blazes! Kala!
- [the spell erupts and strikes Peter just as Gorbash catches him; Peter disappears and Gorbash falls]
- Carolinus: What happened? Where's Peter?
- Princess Melisande: He's gone! He's gone!
- [Gorbash is still falling, breathing out fire]
- Carolinus: Gorbash! You're releasing too much fire! Breathe in! Breathe in!
- [he crashes into the lake, unconscious]
- 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.
- Smrgol: By all, that's magic, is the dragon not a wonderful creature? Open your eyes, boy. Come on, come all the way about. Ahh, ha ha. It's me lad, your uncle. Don't you recognize me?
- Peter Dickenson: Uncle? What?
- [looking around]
- Peter Dickenson: Melisande!
- Princess Melisande: I am here, brother.
- Peter Dickenson: Brother? What... w-we kissed.
- Princess Melisande: Kissed?
- [gasps]
- Carolinus: What is it, child? Does he know where Peter...
- Princess Melisande: He... he... he *is* Sir Peter!
- Peter Dickenson: Well, of course I'm Peter.
- Carolinus: By the beards of Antiquity! I went and *merged* them!
- Princess Melisande: Merged?
- Carolinus: Peter and Gorbash are one! Peter... is *in* Gorbash!
- [Peter looks at himself in shock]
- Smrgol: Well, blast it man! Undo it!
- Carolinus: I can't undo, till I find out what I *did* in the first place.
- Smrgol: But... but where is Gorbash?
- Peter Dickenson: He's still inside here with me. I can feel him in the back of my mind... sleeping soundly right now.
- Carolinus: Well, may he rest well until I figure out how to separate you.
- Peter Dickenson: [dropping his head] This *can't* be a game, I, I never invented a rule to cover a situation like this.
