"Oliver will stay, Master Twyti. And most of the capable hands will be available to help you in this. I will leave orders instructing them that I leave you in charge of the security of the manor and they are to follow your directions in that matter."
 
Master Twyti set about meeting with castle servants, getting himself informed on everything he would need to know. Not long after this conversation, one of the local knights, Sir Grummore, came riding to Ector's castle. He was going to accompany Ector's household on the trip.
 
Sir Ector saw Sir Grummore approach:

"Sir Grummore! You arrived at the most opportune moment. We are almost ready to leave."
 
"Aye, Ector, 'twill do me good to see {London, right?} . Suppressing petty bandits is needful work, for the peasants deserve better than to be robbed; but I yearn to see the doings of BRITAIN. Do you and your son Kay have any guess as to who may get to be King Of All Britons?"
 
"I wish I knew, Sir Grummore. I wish I knew. Word is that whosoever pull the sword from the stone at the church yard in St. Paul's shall be the the true King."

(ooc: yes, they are going to London, and I used St. Paul as the place where the sword is because I read it in some book, but I can't remember exactly)
 
BIG QUESTION: Is Merlin present at Castle Sauvage during this scene?



Grummore lowered his voice, as if someone in London might hear him otherwise. "Many of us have lamented that Britain is not unified; but is absolutely ANY king better than disunity? Are there any candidates to whom you COULD NOT bear to pledge your sword? For instance, what if that swaggering swine King Lot were made King Of All Britons?"
 
OOC: I hope Merlin is somewhere! No one has stepped out to claim the role, maybe because he is not an awesome amazonian queen with three invincible swords and riding the most beautiful and fastest horse in the universe, LOL. We shall see.

"I agree with you. 'Any' king just won't do. But do not worry Sir Grummore, I don't think King Lot is able to lift the sword. If he were to do it, I am sure the Good Lord would have a plan. In that case, we would still have our duty to pledge our loyalty."

A soft breeze blew with a strange strength. Vivien turned around her head, for it was warm and familiar. The trees now were still though the lake's waters were moving, making different shapes. The lake reacted in the same way she did.
She heard a strong voice, gay and secure.
"That might be enough for you, dear Lot." Said he. Vivien smiled and the waters pacified. She saw the tall, blond and white Celthon, teacher of Lancelot in the war - art.
"But... Master Celthon, I have not had enough!" Lancelot's tiny and broken voice spoke. Even though he was young, he could handle a sword as well as a kid double his age.
"And why would you think such a thing, Lot?"
"I did not even had the chance to strike back, Sir." Lancelot dropped his eyes when he realized Vivien was there. He did not like to be ashamed before his mother. Celthon glared at Vivien, half worried and half relaxed, and then, he gently put his hand under Lancelot's pale chin, to make him stare deep into his eyes.
"Remember, Lancelot" Celthon started solemny. "that I am not teaching you to kill, but to protect. A True Knight..."
"... thinks as if he were the people." Lancelot repeated and sighed, grinning. His eyes shone to the idea of being considered a future Knight.
"Very good." Celthon said, satisfied. Vivien placed one hand on Lancelot's shoulder.
"And I do believe you shall turn into the most important knight of all times." Said she, while Celthon disappeared among the trees and she stood enjoying more time with her beloved-as-her-own little child.

OOC: Isn't Lancelot supposed to be younger than Arthur? And is not Arthur only ten years old at B-King's chosen starting time?

It's ok. We can make Arthur 12 or 13 and Lancelot can be around 10 or 11. Or we can leave Arthur at 10 and have Lancelot be like, 8 and already in training. Now sweat Joseph.

EDIT: Ginny, that was a great post. Thanks.

Ginny's scene-writing was great; I just was concerned for chronology. But indeed, no sweat.


William Twyti spoke to some of the serfs attached to Ector's manor, to learn if they possessed and could blow hunting horns. He had in mind forming procedures for sounding alarms from any quarter of Ector's land if trouble arose in the absence of the knights....
 
"Arthur, is everything ready now?" Sir Ector asked his son.

"Yes, Sir, Kay and I are ready and waiting for you and Sir Grummore."

"In that case, we should ride now. What do you say Sir Grummore? Unless you are hungry and would like some victuals. But if you prefer to wait, we can stop in a few hours to eat and rest."

(ooc: LOL! Thanks Ginny *blushes like a school boy*)
 
"Thank you, worthy Ector," answered Grummore; "for my part my squire and I had something to eat before we rode over. I counsel that we set forth before the day is gone; I hear that Master Twyti has found numerous wolf tracks in the woods."
 
"Oh yes. It seems the predators are having a harder time than Master Twyti at hunting and are getting closer to the manor. But I trust him to keep our people and our cattle safe. And I agree with you. 'Tis high time we get going if we want to make the most of daylight."
 
I guess you could say life in Avalon was peaceful. No one of the outside world entered with out Morgause knowing so. And we rarely went out od Avalon. I could only name a few times.

The one time I remember going out of Avalon the most was when we went to the Lady of the Lake. Morguase had said she was connected to me. What that meant I had no idea. Connected by blood? to my future? I had no clue.


We rode up to her lake, the water crystal clear.

"Viviene," said Morguase as if calling her.

(ooc I figured that they'd have to meet. lol now in this version is Viviene going to be Morgan's aunt? Cuz isn't it so that Lancelot is her cousin?)
 
William Twyti bade the knights Godspeed, as did Father Oliver. Then Twyti and one of the men who had gone out hunting with him before dawn made rounds of the estate. Sir Ector already had redoubts here and there, where men caught in the open without time to reach the castle could make a stand with some protective shelter; Twyti wanted to know each of these places well. If any foe came, he himself would be in the thick of the defense with his longbow and his boar spear.
