Chapter One: Woads
I road along side my brother, Arthur Castus and his knights to the Bishop's carriage to escort him to Hadrian's Wall. The largest and longest wall in Roman history or in fact any history.
I finally reached a hill a hill and Arthur stopped us all as we sat on the hill. Soon, I saw the Bishop's carriage.
"As promised, the Bishop's Carriage." Said Gawain.
"Our freedom, Bors." Said Galahad.
"Hmm, I can almost taste it." Bors replied.
Every one chuckled.
"Your passage to Rome, Arthur." Galahad said to your brother.
We waited until a Roman officer was shot with an arrow and woads came from the forest.
"Woads!" Tristan said to Arthur.
Arthur speared his horse and head down the hill along with al the other knights and I. We road a few minutes until we reached out destination. I jumped off my horse as I reached the battle field and pulled out my twin swords. Which are very much like Lancelot's, but skinnier and longer. I fought and killed at least twenty woads. Then, one came from behind me and grabbed me.
"I would let go of me if I were you." I said.
"Why's that?" he said as he put a dagger to my throat.
"Because, my best friend is right behind you." I told him.
He looked a round and I pulled the dagger out of his hand and threw it at another woad. He looked at me and as I went to stab him, he caught my throat. I couldn't breathe. Soon, my life started passing by my eyes. Then all of a sudden, he let go and I fell to the ground, almost unconscious. The woad fell to the ground and I saw Lancelot in front of me.
"Are you okay?" he asked, lifting my head up.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Hand me my sword please." I said to him.
He grabbed my blade and handed it to me and I stood up and so did he. I couldn't explain what happened, because there was a silence. Well, except for war cries and weapons hitting each other. You can say we had a moment, but we both shook it off and continued fighting.
Just as I finished killing an other woad, I turned to see a woad come from behind Lancelot.
"Lancelot! Behind you!" I yelled to him.
He turned and stabbed the woad and put his twin swords in a scissor like position and cut his head off and blood going on Lancelot face and armor. He turned to me and nodded and I nodded back and continued fighting.
I finished my last woad and heard Bors yelling a war cry and sticking his tongue out. I stabbed the moving woad and walked over to my horse.
"I see you did well for your self, Elvina." Lancelot said to me.
"I was taught from the two best men I know." I said with a smile and gave him a hug.
We both mounted both out horses and road over by the Bishop's carriage. Arthur came over to Bors.
"Bors?" said Arthur.
"What a bloody mess." Bors replied.
"That not the Bishop." Said Arthur and he walked and eyed a horseman.
"Arthur, Arthur Castus. An image of your father. I haven't seen you since childhood." Said the horseman.
"Bishop Germanous. Welcome to Britain. I see your military skills are still of use to you and your device worked." Said Arthur.
The Bishop dismounted his horse.
"I thought the woads controlled the north." Said the Bishop curiously.
"They do, but he occasionally ventures south." I said.
The Bishop looked at me.
"A woman? Women can't be knights, Arthur." Said the Bishop.
"Ah, but she can. She's my sister." Said Arthur
"Oh, well my apologies." Said the Bishop.
"So, who leads these woads?" he asked.
"Merlin. A dark magician some say." Said Lancelot.
"Don't worry, Bishop, we will protect you." Said Arthur.
"I have no dout commander, no doubt." Said the Bishop and he got in the carriage.
