Book 16: Of Sir Gawaine 1.)

17.) A voice stops Bors from killing his brother and a sudden flame rises between them , that heals Bor’s brother. The voice than asks Bors to travel to the sea to meet Sir Parcival. And after the two brothers forgive each other Bors starts his travel. At night he rests at an old abbey and hears that demanding voice again and he immediately marks himself with a cross on his forehead and picks up his travel. On a beach a ship with white saisl is waiting and as soon as he gets on board the ship starts moving (no crew mentioned) very fast. On the ship he finds Sir Parcival sleeping and both men soon recognize each other and are sure God himself brought them together. They talk and pray and the only thing they are missing while the ship travels forwards and backwards is Sir Galahad.
