Quotes 

• Anastia Renard : [to the Petros Xanatos and Halcyon Renard]  Okay you two. You can see them later. Fox needs her rest.

  [the grandfather leave] 

  Anastia Renard : I'll keep the baby while you sleep.

  David Xanatos : NO! That's not necessary. We have a nurse.

  Anastia Renard : But David, I'm his grandmother.

  David Xanatos : And you must be tired from your trip here.

  Fox : What's going on?

  Oberon : [Entering]  Yes, what exactly *is* going on?

• Anastasia Renard : I am gathering even now.

  Oberon : We discussed this, my dear. It is my law that we not directly interfere in human affairs. Let the woman keep her child.

  Fox : "Keep my child?" Mother, who is this guy?

  Oberon : *Mother*?

  [laughs] 

  Oberon : . Titania, what have you been up to?

  Fox : Who is Titania? Mother, explain yourself!

  David Xanatos : This should prove interesting.

  Oberon : More interesting than you know. It is time to drop this facade my Queen.

• Titania : [Speaking of the baby]  He has magic in him. I would not see it die as did his mother's. It must be encouraged, nurtured.

  Fox : This is ridiculous! My son will be nurtured right here! With his father and me!

  Titania : No Fox! The boy must be taken to Avalon where he can be properly trained in his mystical heiritage,

  [facing Oberon] 

  Titania : if, of course, you allow it, my lord.

  Oberon : As I see it, Fox has turned out to be regrettably human. And thus we cannot interfer in her life. However the baby is still of our blood and if it pleases you to take him, you have my permission.

  Fox : NO! You can't have him!

  David Xanatos : It's all right. No one is taking our son anywhere. Taking a child from his parents is the epitome of interfering with human affairs. By your own law, you cannot allow it.

  Oberon : I have made up my mind.

  Fox : Too bad for you!

• David Xanatos : Did you know that Anastaia was actually Titania?

  Owen Burnett : I did.

  David Xanatos : Then you knew that she came to steal my son!

  Owen Burnett : No. But I feared it!

• Owen Burnett : There are two things to remember: One. Energy is energy where generated by science or sorcery. Two. Oberon is vulnerable to iron. His magicks are powerless against it.

  David Xanatos : I knew you wouldn't let me down Owen. Wait! Where are you going? We've got a fight on our hands.

  Owen Burnett : I am truly sorry, Mr. Xanatos. But this is one battle in which I cannot risk becoming involved!
