Sir Percival with his spear

   
 

 

         

It was extremely hot outside, and a woman who had come on the ship asked her servants to put up shade for her and Percival.  The woman then takes off Percival’s helmet and shield. They then fell asleep for a long time.

 When Percival woke up, he asked the women if she had any meat. She said that she did.  So together they ate and drank wine.  Percival drank a little too much wine which will be bad later on. 

 The woman then asked Sir Percival if he would be her faithful servant for the rest of his life.  Since he drank so much earlier, he had no idea what he was getting himself into, and he said yes. 

The woman then asked her servants to make them a bed to sleep in.  The both ended up in the bed naked, about to have sex.  Before this can occur Percival saw his sword that had a cross on it. He then stops before he does anything stupid.  After he recognizes that he was about to do wrong, the bed the two of them were in started up in flames.  It soon became a solid black cloud of smoke.
