So those of you who have read my disastrous attempts at multi-chapter fics may be slightly wary of this, which is going to end up having many, many chapters, but I promise, this isn't going to end up a complete fiasco like the others :)

It was a cool winter night. The stars glittered above the great castle of Camelot, bright and shining in the cloudless sky.

Barely a sound was carried on the air and all was quiet and still. It would have seemed to be a perfect, untroubled night, were it not for the fact that hidden deep in his keep of stone, a king was raging furiously at his servants, effortlessly masking the sheer and utter despair that threatened to overwhelm him completely.

In a tiny stone room, there was a pretty girl with chocolate skin sitting at a bedside. The walls rang with the sound of her sobbing into her hands, whilst, covered with a mountain of rough blankets in the bed at her side, a pale and dark-haired boy lay unstirring, trapped in a slumber as deep as death.

Far away from the castle, alone and more than a little afraid, Prince Arthur lay under the stars, the only source of comfort he could find, and wondered how he would survive the night.

Please R&R :) next chapter will probably be posted tomorrow, or the day after. And no, the chapters definitely won't be this short :)
