Taliesin possesses an intense prophetic vision, with biblical references (such as Moses and Sodom). His love for Charis (of Atlantean origins) generates a prophecy that will outlive the ancient world. There is betrayal, jealousy, magic, and a clash between pagan gods and the one true God. The couple faces family and cultural obstacles, culminating in a Christian marriage and Charis's baptism. The episode establishes the union that results in the birth of Merlin, with elements of redemption and prophecy.
