Chapter 1:
I walked into Avalon school. When I walked into the school everyone began staring at me-for what I don't know?
I walked down a narrow hall way with many lockers on the walls. A group of women were huddled together and whispering excitedly.
Another group of men were tackling each other.
Leaning on one of the lockers reading a book was a very exquisite woman, her brown hair was tied in a bun, she was wearing a shirt and pantaloons.
I walked up to her and addressed her as politely as I could,
"Madam, I was just wondering what this time table is saying, I cannot understand a word of it, would you kindly help me?"
"Oh your time table, yes that old thing, here. Hang on a sec wait, I don't remember you. You new here at Avalon?"
"Pardon me madam, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Arthur, Arthur Pendragon. Yes, I am new here to Avalon, and you are?"
"Why hello Arthur. I'm Gwen, Guinevere Dame, now let me make sense of your time table. That is what you wanted, right?"
Not knowing what to say, I nodded my head.
"OK then let me read, oh hang on, you're in my class follow me."
I followed her down the staircase not even knowing where I was going. All I could think of was how beautiful Guinevere was, her good nature, kindness and her soft voice.
"Here we are."
When I walked inside the room everyone was already at their tables.
"Hello Mr" the woman standing at the front of the room said to me. She was quite a beautiful woman. She wore a blue dress which hung below her knees, across her bodice sat a brown belt. Her hair was a dirty brown.
The woman kept looking at me intently as if wanting an answer. I didn't know what to say so I thought of introducing myself.
"Um, oh, hello Ma'am I'm Arthur, Arthur Pendragon."
"Well, hello Arthur, welcome to Avalon. Hold on a second you have the same name as, Arthur Pendragon that King of Camelot. You know, the story of Merlin, Guinevere, King Arthur and Uther?"
Suddenly I felt faint. My head went hazy and I felt dazed. I saw a large rock with a sword in it. Then I saw a battle, a battle with a large masculine man whose hair was a golden bronze, with the most sapphire blue. Then I heard a woman scream out "Arthur, I will reign one day. Thy kingdom shall be destroyed, I will bring an uprising to Camelot. Then you shall die and I, Morgan Le Fay will be the best Queen Camelot will ever have!"
I woke to a strange pair of emerald green eyes.
"Hello, Arthur, are you OK?" I nodded my head.
"I'm Ms Clarke, your history teacher. Isn't it a coincidence though that we're learning about King Arthur right now, and you're Arthur Pendragon. Then when I mentioned things from the legend you fainted. How odd."
"Have you ever heard, that they say Arthur is living in the twenty-first century? We just don't know it." I looked at her as if she was a mad woman.
I sat in one of the chairs and Ms Clarke went into detail about King Arthur's life. Every time she spoke or acted out a scene of his life I felt as if I went into flash back mode and I was THE Arthur. Being taken away from Uther and Igraine, being sent to Sir Ector, retrieving the sword from the stone, battling against Morgan Le Fay and Mordred then arriving on the mists of Avalon.
After class I stayed back to talk with Ms Clarke. She seemed like a very smart person whom was vey useful for useless facts. I asked her if she really believed that the real King Arthur would come back. When she answered I noticed that something glinted in her eye.
"Honestly Arthur, I believe, now don't get uncomfortable; but I believe he is here with us in Avalon." I looked at her when I realised she meant me.
