Avalon Part Six

Lore & Background

The Avalon Clan are the gargoyle eggs of Castle Wyvern that were protected by Princess Katharine, Tom, and the Magus. The eggs were taken to Avalon where they hatched and grew to adulthood where they formed this offshoot of the Wyvern Clan. Katharine and Tom raised them as their own children, and thus gave each a name to be told apart from each other, so the Avalon Clan holds great respect for them. Known members of the clan include Gabriel, the son of Coldstone and Coldfire, and Ophelia.

In Their Own Story

The mist clung to the grassy slopes of Avalon, heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient rain. Goliath stood before the shimmering portal, his claws digging into the earth as he watched the island's magic weave its final spell. Beside him, Angela looked not at the exit, but at the stone that had bound them all together for so long. The air hummed with a low vibration, a sound like a thousand whispers warning of what lay beyond the veil. 'We cannot stay,' Goliath rumbled, his voice heavy with the weight of choices made and paths left behind. 'But we must not forget who we are.' As the light intensified, swallowing the horizon, the gargoyle leader knew that returning to Manhattan would mean facing a world changed by their absence, yet he stepped forward anyway, ready to protect what remained.

Reader's Guide

The episode opens with the climax of the battle against the Dark One's manifestation. Goliath and his allies must utilize the combined power of the Stone of Destiny and the island's magic to banish the entity back into the void. This confrontation forces Owen Burnett, disguised as Xanatos's servant, to make a critical sacrifice that reveals his true allegiance to the clan over his master. As the threat is neutralized, the focus shifts to the departure from Avalon. The group realizes they cannot simply return to their lives as if nothing happened. The magic of the island has aged them or altered their timeline in subtle ways, creating a disconnect with the world they left behind. Angela's role as the 'perfect' gargoyle is tested as she must choose between staying on the mystical island or returning to the dangerous reality of New York. Goliath makes the difficult decision to lead his clan back home, accepting that their duty lies in protecting humanity despite its flaws. The arc concludes with a somber return to Manhattan, where the clan finds the city changed and new threats looming. The cliffhanger leaves the audience wondering how the absence of time on Avalon has affected the political landscape of New York and what new enemies might arise from the shadows now that the Dark One is gone but not forgotten.
