Disclaimer: This story is pure fanfiction. People, places and names have been altered to fit into the plot. I do not own any of the knights and other recognizable characters from King Arthur. I own Lourdes, Aiden, Shinodians and various stock characters that appear later on in the story.

Author's Note: Hey everyone! Well, this is the fic that has been on hiatus for a while. I have been working on it for months, reading and revising, but I am finally satisfied enough with the story to post some chapters. It basically follows part of the movie's plot, slightly AU as the OFC is inserted, then moves on to concentrate on the main character's life, dilemmas and relationships with the knights. Simple and, others may think, conventional plot, but I concentrate more on the character's relationships and the way that they interact. So for the hardcore fans, don't kill me! I simply mean to borrow the characters and situations and weave a story of my own.

Revisions may be frequent, since I'm an annoying perfectionist. I continue to write as you read this! Also, I would love to hear from anyone and everyone! Any comments, questions, corrections, constructive criticism, suggestions and encouragement are welcome and appreciated!

PROLOGUE

20 years earlier

The wails of a babe pierced the night as a hooded shadow moved through the moonlit woods, attempting to conceal the infant in their arms. Spotting a small clearing, the mysterious figure bolted towards the direction of two silhouettes in the distance, both atop steeds, expecting his arrival. Reaching the mounted pair, the hooded figure raised the babe in his arms as one of the riders took hold of the now quiet infant. Gently rocking the babe in their arms, the rider looked down at the infant, seeing its curious eyes in the dim light.

"Take her as far as you can from here," the hooded man finally spoke, looking alternately at the two riders. "Care for her and love her as your own...as I do."

Without another word, the figure was gone.
