Slight Preview of the story I'm currently working on. Transformers: The Last Knight (One off. No parings, no romance. Just for fun.)
Imagine it in Anthony Hopkin's voice, sounds better. XD

"This story takes place in the reign of King Arthur, but is like none you have ever heard."
"It begins on the field of battle, Saxon forces clashing with Arthur and his knights. Outnumbered and sustaining heavy losses from catapult fire and the fierce onslaughts of their barbarian enemies."
"The battle was turning grim for Arthur and his forces. Many men fled the field in the face of the unsurpassable force of Saxon might and savagery. Many knights begged the King to leave the battle but Arthur refused, waiting for his wizard, Merlin, who swore to aid them. Yet still he did not come. Many of the men doubted Arthur's wizard, claiming he was a charlatan and had no powers, but the king trusted him"
"Magic, does exist. It was found, long ago, inside a crashed Alien ship. But that was not all that was found."
"Still the knights begged to retreat, but Arthur stood firm in the face of adversity."
"It has been said through the ages, without sacrifice, there can be no victory and when all seemed lost, Merlin turned the tide of battle, bestowed with a sceptre and the aid of a dragon. The knights rallied. Their foes fled. And in the aftermath of battle an alliance was formed between man and machine."
My god father used to tell me stories of the Knights of Camelot fighting alongside transformers. To this day I remember the tales. Stories of those brave enough to stand for what is good and right, honourable heroes who fought with valour and where not afraid to die for what they believed in. But those are stories for children and I think everyone fears death. Honour. Valour. Loyalty and virtue. They exist only in fairy tales.
But they are what I aspire to be. Nobody is perfect and I don't claim to be, I'm far from it, but one thing I am, is hopeful. Hopeful that this war will end, it's ruined lives, split up families. Take me for example. I'm a British girl in America. My parents dead, my remaining family in England, my former friends turned on me for refusing to turn on the Transformers despite orders. Sometimes you've got to decide when to stop being a soldier and to be who you are. And I, I help people. Whether they are made of flesh and blood or wires and metal.
