Cathbad teaches the Knights about the rules school-style, complete with Angus throwing the equivalent of spit balls at goody-two shoes Rohan and Deirdre sitting in the front row, who are TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING. The next chunk of the show shows both warriors practicing and training for their fight. Rohan spars with Ivar, Deirdre, adn Cathbad (who changes into a young warrior) and Angus helps him by putting his foot on Rohan's back while Rohan does push-ups. The warriors can take a second-- Rohan takes Cathbad and Lugad takes Torq. But Maeve also plans to show up even though it's against the rules. Aideen overhears the plot & warns the other 3 MKs. They arrive too late to get into the special fighting place (the Land of Lug or something like that). The entrance is a cave that only stays open a few hours. Anyway, after some ceremonial stuff (including Cathbad's warning to the warriors not to fight in this ring of fire, which is a doorway to a sacred graveyard full of dead warriors), they begin to fight with pikes provided by Lug (Lug is not seen). They fight, fight, fight, and end up in the ring of fire. Rohan tries to get Lugad to stop fighting, per Cathbad's warning, but Lugad won't listen. Maeve, who has shown up in the fighting place, throws Lugad his weapon. For the kajillionth time Cathbad warns everyone about fighting in the graveyard. Rohan calls on his Battle Fury armor, they continue fighting, but their fighting has defiled the place and comets and asteroids or something are falling down near their heads. Rohan sees the same mark on Lugad's arm that is on his own, makes a comment on it, and then pushes Lugad out of the path of a falling meteor. They land back in the ceremonial fighting place; Maeve insists Lugad finish Rohan off, but Lugad won't because Rohan saved him. (Thanks to Val K.)

Meanwhile, Deirdre and Ivar discover that the village where Rohan and Angus live is completely deserted. They enter the hut and discover Angus eating something that he cooked himself. They both look rather disgusted at the thought of eating it. Angus tells them that Rohan left early that morning and doesn't know where he went. Deirdre says that she thinks she knows where and heads out. Meanwhile, Rohan is in Tir-Na-Nog talking to Fin Varra. The little king reveals to Rohan that Lugad is his half-brother, since they both bare the mark of destiny. Rohan then calls on Aideen to get Lugad to go to Pyre's cave and meet with him. Aideen flies away and finds Lugad practicing with the sword Maeve gave him. Aideen tells him that there are many wonders awaiting him and that if he wants to see them he can follow her. He drops his fancy sword and leaves with her. Torc comes to retrieve Lugad and finds nothing but the sword, which he claims for himself. Lugad enters the cave where Rohan is. Rohan tries to convince him that they are brothers but instead they fight about it and Lugad doesn't believe him. Deirdre walks in them right when Rohan says they are brothers and is in shock.

Meanwhile in Temra castle, Numaine appears and calls on Mider. She wants Lugad returned to her and in return for Mider's help she promises to help him gain Tir-Na-Nog. Maeve comes in after a few moments, by that time Numaine is gone. She requests that mider casts a spell on Rohan to make him come to Temra. After a while Rohan arrives and the spell disappears. He argues with Maeve for a while. She knows that he and Lugad are brothers and reveals to Rohan that she also bears the Mark of Destiny. Therefore she is his mother. Rohan is sickened by the thought and leaves the castle. Ivar and Deirdre meanwhile go looking for Rohan. They enter into the hut where Angus is eating some vile looking soup, which he qickly offers to Deidre and Ivar. They both quickly decline. Ivar and Angus head off towards Temra using the Defender. Once there they encounter Lugad who immediately starts a fight. Deirdre comes by though and Lugad recognizes her. Within moments, Temra soldiers attack. Lugad turns against them and fights with Deirdre and the others. After the fight, Lugad leaves needing to think about things. Angus offers his arm to Deirdre, who readily accepts, leaving Ivar to walk back to Kells, since they took the Defender. At the castle, they are worried about Rohan since he has not returned. At the end you see Rohan kneel by a river, trying desperately to wash the mark off his arm. A man approaches him and asks what the best way off the island is. Rohan tells him that he'll show him since he's thinking of leaving himself.


Knight in the Forest
4/29/99

Maeve gives Torc a magic shield to use in the battle against Kells. The shield is enchanted with some sort of repulsing spell. But when he encounters Angus, Deirdre and Ivar, the shield gets destroyed by them all using their weapons together. Meanwhile Rohan has come to the conclusion that it is no point to run away any longer and returns to the castle. On his way there Lugad jumps out from behind the trees and attacks him. Rohan tries to tell Lugad that Maeve is there mother, but the warrior won't listen. Instead he keeps attacking Rohan. Garrett comes to the rescue in a new "toy", which he calls the Dragon Bow later. Garrett fights Lugad, who eventually runs away when he sees the Temra soldiers coming. Garrett and Rohan exchange pleasantries and head toward the castle. Once there, Rohan tells his friends that Maeve bears the same mark on her arm, therefore she is his mother. All of his friends are in shock. Maeve decides since she can't see, to get Lugad to fight for her, she will just have to do the next best thing. She summongs a Shadow and has him take the form of Lugad, hoping that when Rohan falters against attacking his brother, the Shadow can make its strike. Lugad has decided to run for Pyre's cave, hoping that he wil find Deirdre there, since she had been so kind to him. Instead he finds Numaine waiting for him. She decides to strike a deal with him and sends him into the forest to wait until he's needed. Meanwhile, Temra is attacking Kells castle. Rohan, Garrett, and Deirdre call their armour and manage to run the shade off, but not destroy it. They race out of the castle after it, where they come across Ivar in the Defender. Angus, on the other hand, is having a terrible time steering the Dragon Bow. He finally makes it to the battle and the five of them destroy the Shadow. In the end, they are all standing in the throne room of the castle. Rohan admits that he made a mistake in not wanting to attack what he thought was Lugad and decides that he will no longer hesitate. The King tells them that they all did a great job and especially Garrett for saving Rohan's life. Deirdre gets up and kisses Garrett on the cheek and thanks him. Angus just stares and asks for his kiss since he did fire the final blow that killed the creature. Deirdre just smiles at him and tells him that he should talk to Garrett. Garrett asks where all the gashes came from on his Dragon Bow and Angus comes up with some fantastic tale about enchanted trees trying to kill him.


The Final Battle
5/06/99

Maeve decides that she is going to get Deirdre away from the Mystic Knights and challenge their loyalty. Cathabad has a terrible vision, one showing that there is going to be a battle. One that Kells may not win. The Mystic Knights worry about Rohan because of his desire not fight his brother. This makes Rohan think that they are not willing to fight beside him, which they quickly assure him is not the case. One of the soldiers on the ramparts see the Temra army coming toward the castle, with Lugad and Torc in the front. Rohan requests that he be allowed to talk to Lugad, to try to end the battle before it begins. He agrees and sends a soldier with a standard of truce. He quickly returns with Lugad. Since Lugad is not around, Torc decides to attack. The Mystic Knights call their armour to protect the castle. Torc calls Tyrune knowing that the Knights will fight the hydra before they fight the troops. Rohan and Garrett get the Dragon Bow and the Defender. They run Tyrune off, but then the soldiers advance. Deirdre fights a couple of them, but soon she is outnumbered. Maeve captures her and gives her terms to the other knights. She wants the Dragon Bow and the Defender. They grudgingly give them up, but Maeve decides that she is going to keep Deirdre as a prisoner. The knights use their weapons to free her. Torc and Lugad come toward them in the battle cars. Rohan calls for his Battle Fury. They battle for a moment, when Torc fires the weapon on the Defender, hitting Rohan in the chest. Rohan is wounded severely. The knights race him back to the castle, where Cathabad tends to him. Before long the Temras are invading the castle. The King, druid and the knights take the wounded Rohan out of the castle and to the village. Maeve seats herself on the throne of Kells, proclaiming herself as Maeve, Queen of Temra and Kells. Mider appears and tells her that it is time that she help him gain Tir-Na-Nog. Cathabad says there is nothing he can do for Rohan, so he sends Ivar and Angus to Tir-Na-Nog to talk to Fin Varra, but the little King can do nothing for him either. While they are gone, Deirdre tells an unconsious Rohan that he can't die, since she never got to tell him her true feelings. They return and tell the King what Fin Varra said, which Garrett recognizes the phrase and produces something that Linette's father gave to him. Cathabad realizes that it is an Elixir of Vitality. He quickly gives it to Rohan and says the words, "Rare the chance to live again." Rohan awakes and Deirdre hugs him.


Banished
5/06/99

While Rohan is away, searching for Lugad, and the other Mystic Knights are away searching for Rohan, Cathabad and the King are kidnapped by Maeve and throne into the tower. When the other Mystic Knights return, they run right into the hands of Torc and his men. They are subsequently taken to the castle and imprisoned in the dungeon. Meanwhile, Rohan is in Pyre's cave, talking to the dragon. An old man appears and offers Rohan a deal. The old man has Maeve's chalice. Rohan agrees to the bargain and returns to Kells, where he dresses like a Temra soldier and sneaks into the castle. He approaches Maeve and challenges her. The deal is that if Rohan wins he gets Kells, if Maeve wins she gets the chalice. She agrees and they fight. Aideen, meanwhile, is freeing the other Mystic Knights (at I think it was her or maybe it was the old man, someone please correct me). They race into the throneroom where Maeve and Rohan were fighting. They want to help, but Rohan tells them not to. Maeve summons all of her power and transforms herself into a Naga (a half-woman, half-snake magical creature) and attacks using magic. They knights call their armour and all attack Maeve. Eventually Maeve is drained of power and defeated. The king and Cathabad are freed and Kells is returned to its proper ruler. The old man appears and reveals himself to be Nemain and steals away with the chalice. The King sends Maeve away to banishment on the Island of Tor-Mor, to be led there by Angus.
