Hello all! I asked my friend Midnight Moon XXX about whether I should write this or not and he was like, "Hell yeah!" So enjoy!

Chapter One

The dining hall was dim, with only a few scattered torches on the walls to provide light. There was a long wooden dining table, covered with a ivory colored tablecloth and decorated with expensive candles and silverware.

Lord Sonic sat on one end, staring silently at his dinner plate, mindlessly poking at a piece of chicken with his fork.

"My lord," the servant standing beside him said. He had short, shoulder-length jet-black hair and dark blue eyes. "Might I suggest you not… play with your food? You have other matters of business to attend to."

Sonic smiled. "I've lost my appetite, Maxwell." His smile faded. "So Sir Roswell has been banished?"

Maxwell sighed. "Yes. Convicted of theft and treason. Poor guy. He was good at his duties."

"Will there be a replacement?"

"I hear Sir Herald is already looking for one."

Sonic frowned. "Herald tends to my business affairs. Why is he looking? I thought General Antony would be the one doing the searching."

"Well the general was searching, but stopped when Sir Herald said he could handle it. He wants to find the perfect knight. Someone who is strong and is willing to give their life to protect you." Maxwell smiled. "After all, that's what the Knights of the Round Table do. They dedicate themselves to you. They live to serve and protect you."

Sonic got out of the chair, his red velvet robe falling into place behind him. "I'm going to my room. Please don't disturb me."

~The Black Night~

Sonic closed the his bedroom door behind him. He sighed before taking a running leap onto his bed, not caring that his golden crown fell off his head, and hit the wooden floor with a loud clattering sound. Sonic rolled onto his back and stared at the blank ceiling above him.

His bedroom was one of the largest rooms in the castle. There was a oak wood desk in the corner of the room and a large bookshelf settled by the door. (Even though he didn't like admitting it to people, Sonic actually loved to read.)

Sonic was almost asleep when he heard a knocking at the door. The king growled as he got up, grabbing his crown as he walked towards the door.

"I said don't disturb me, Maxwell!" Sonic exclaimed as he yanked the door open. His eyes widened when he saw Herald.

Herald was on the chubby side and had curly blond hair. His grey eyes showed a look of concern. "My lord?" He asked. "Is something wrong?"

Sonic shook his head. "No, Herald. I'm alright." He then noticed that Herald wasn't alone. A knight in blackish grey armor stood next to him, his arms folded across his chest.

"My lord," Herald said. "I found the perfect replacement! Someone who's way better than Roswell! This is Lancelot!"

Sonic observed Lancelot, with growing interest. Even though Sonic couldn't see his face behind that helmet of his, Sonic felt that he could trust Lancelot.

Lancelot cleared his throat. Sonic waited for the knight to say something. Anything. Yet he remained silent.

"He's very skilled," Herald said, ending the awkward silence. "Perfect for the Round Table!"

Lancelot kneeled down on one knee and bowed his head.

Sonic smiled weakly. "Yeah. He's… perfect."

So this is kind of short but I just wanted to introduce Lancelot this chapter. Future chapters will be longer. Comment and Review are appreciated
