 At the castle, The magic stone where its rings are still glowing. While Arthur in the round table where he and the knights are here for a meeting.

''King Arthur: In the ten years since Sir Lionel's death, equality, and freedom, have spread throughout the lands. Excalibur has given us the strength to stand together against all injustice. [''The knights applaud]'' Camelot has prospered beyond our greatest dreams-.''

Arthur was suddenly cut short when a loud thunderous noise came from above. A Griffin had broken through the roof and landed on the round table with pieces of broken wood from the roof. The griffin's wings extinguish the torches, sending the room nearly into darkness. The knights draw their swords ready.

''Knight 4: [whispers] It's a Griffin.''

The Griffin growls menacingly as King Arthur is about to reach Excalibur with his hand very slowly but the Griffin grabs Excalibur along with its scabbard and belt that was holding it with his beak, breaking Arthur's chair and slashing his arm, wounding Arthur in progress. The Griffin flies up from the round table as the other Knights start to charge and throw spears at the Griffin.

''Knight 5: It's taken Excalibur!''

''Knight 6: Arthur is wounded!''

''King Arthur: Never mind me! Find Merlin and go after the sword!''

The Griffin breaks out of the tower, destroying the entire roof, causing the guards to notice the Griffin and shoot flaming arrows, but to no avail, as The Griffin flies over the borders and the moat.

''Guard 1: Send word across the land: Excalibur's been stolen!''

[The Guard blows the horn as the drawbridge lowers and the knights ride out to get Excalibur back. Meanwhile, Merlin arrives at the guards' tower.]

''Merlin: Silver Wings, protect the sword!''

The Griffin is flying above the Forbidden Forest with the sword in his talons, A glint of silver appears in the sky and Ayden - a silver-winged Falcon - attacks the Griffin, swoops away, and attacks again, causing the Griffin to drop Excalibur in the forest below. 

The Griffin dives down to try and catch the sword, as it's falling. Excalibur breaks through the thorns, The Griffin screeches as thorn hands emerge out through the thorns, trying to grab the Griffin. The Griffin flies away from them but swoops back to regain Excalibur.

 The thorn hands grab his wings and his tail avoids them. As the Griffin repeatedly bites on the thorn hands, more thorn hands appear and grab him. Ayden watches as the Griffin escapes and flies away. Ayden flies down into the thorns, and his wing glints. Meanwhile, the sound of the horn spreads across the land and to the farm where a nearby farmer is harvesting grain when he hears the call.

''Farmer: Excalibur! It's been stolen!''

Kayley, at the farm who is collecting the eggs, hears it, gasps, and runs into the house. Later in the house, after Kayley has explained the situation.

''Lady Juliana: No! Not!''

''Kayley: But mother, Excalibur is missing. I must go after it.''

''Lady Juliana: That's a job for knights, not for a young girl''

She holds up a white dress, that the seamstress has been making.

''Kayley: But I want to be a knight. Going on grand adventures, [She does air sword fights] fighting evil, rescuing damsels in distress. 

The seamstress tries to measure Kayley but it is very hard for her because she keeps moving around. Finally, she measures her.

" Kayley: What is a damsel, anyway?''

Lady Juliana puts the white dress over Kayley's head, with help from the seamstress. While Julieta sighed at this while helping her mother to let Kayley try on a dress.

"Lady Juliana: Now, Kayley, Kayley, stand still, and try on your new dress.''

''Kayley: Mother! I don't want a new dress. I want to save Camelot. If you'd just let me, I know I'd find Excalibur all on my own.''

''Juliana: The knights will find the sword, and they'll do it by working together.''

''Kayley: [taking Sir Lionel's shield from a servant who was going to clean it] While I work here. Doing the chores, fetching the eggs, taking care of the house! Boring! Where's the glory in that?

''Lady Juliana: Kayley...one day, you will learn [she puts her hands on Kayley's shoulder, then places her hand on Kayley's cheek] what Camelot means. Till then, you'll stay here with me.''

Kayley escapes from her mother's embrace.

''Kayley: Oh, alright!''

She takes off the dress, Lady Juliana sighs and Kayley runs off to her and Julieta's room. Lady Juliana feeling remorseful of what she said to Kayley, looks at a framed tapestry of herself, Julieta, Sir Lionel, and Kayley..

''Lady Juliana: What would you do?''

Then Julieta walked over towards her home gently placed her hand on her mother's shoulder and gave her a small smile.

"Julieta: Don't worry mother... she'll come around"

"Lady Juliana: I hope so to Julieta"

They look towards the tapestry to the section of Sir Lionel. Since He saved King Arthur by sacrificing his life. But something bad will happen soon or later.
