Spawn: The Dark Ages #3 (1999) Glenn Fabry Cover

Spawn, the Black Knight, was now in the clutches of the Three Sisters, somehwere, away from the world... and now everything was going wrong. Guy DuBlanc was back to his terror tactics. People of the town were gathering in secret and speaking of open rebellion. Rivalen's grip was tightening around the populace because of his wife's death, and with DuBlanc he kept everyone afraid. Now Rivalen wants everyone dead. After some time, with just a thought Spawn finally escapes the Three Sisters and returns to his castle. There Merlin insists that he begin to train Spawn. During the secret meetings Spawn comes upon Pevvyn in the woods and gives him special instructions to gather the people. Spawn promises to protect the people. Merlin disagree's with this fools errand.
