 Parzival, the ‘mad’ knight in the eyes of the world, the seeker of the one Truth, ennobled to the supreme quest, has decided to start looking for the Grail.
Does he know that the heavenly things cannot be conquered in the same way as the things of the senses?
His path leads him to Fontane-la-Salvatge (Fountain of Salvation) where he meets the perfect Trevrizent who tells him:
‘Maybe the passion for experiences has shown you the way to gain the price of love? Thus, attach yourself to the perfect love that we are celebrating today!’

 After introducing him to a second cave, the hermit said to Parzival: ‘Do you wish to possess the Grail? I must pity your inexperience. Indeed, none can pretend to it unless he is predestined by heaven, who knows him well. If I must speak thus about the Grail, it is because I have seen it. I know it well. It is defended, in Munsalvaesche, by numerous knights: they are the Knights Templars who are a formidable troop. A stone feeds them, the nature of which is incorruptible and which is named: “Lapis ex caelis”, stone from heaven.
That stone is also called: the Grail.’
