THE BLOOD LANCE
'When he saw the Lance and
Chalice carried by a procession of knights and ladies,
Percival was obliged to ask, "Whom does one serve who follows
this?" Had he asked that question,
the Fisher King would have been healed of his lameness and the dying land would
have bloomed into life again. Because he
failed to say anything at all, Percival fell into a deep slumber and when he
awakened he found himself alone in a wasteland.'
