Some people are born to live extraordinary lives. The four children of King Englebert did not seem to be anything remarkable. Not in that lifetime at least. However, those four siblings kept being reborn and every life other than the first was incredible. Tales of their deeds would be passed on forever more. But stories tend to change with each retelling, little detail by little detail, until eventually the story is barely recognisable. So the following is a record of everything that truly occurred in the lives of King Englebert's sons and daughters.
King Englebert had two sons and two daughters. His sons, Alfred and Alexander, were strong and fierce warriors. The siblings were very close and could not bear to be long separated. Eventually Englebert passed away and Alfred became king. His brother and sisters assisted his reign and all four died unmarried so there were no heirs meaning Englebert's kingdom was lost and very soon forgotten.
Alfred was confused. Hadn't he just died of that fever? And why did he feel so… small?
"Hello Arthur. Welcome to the world little prince." Wait, had he been reborn?
Patience allowed her eyelids to flutter shut as she felt death descend upon her. A bright light shone on her eyelids. What was that?
"Congratulations my lady, it's a girl. Have you chosen a name?"
"Morgana. She will be the Lady Morgana." Patience opened her eyes and screamed.
Alexander gasped as the sword pierced his side. It was a fatal wound he knew. So it was rather a shock when it abruptly stopped hurting. He opened his eyes and saw a woman looking down at him. She gasped.
"Oh my poor Merlin. We shall have to keep you hidden my love."
Faith awoke feeling different somehow. She couldn't really tell you how though. A finger poked at her and she tried to tell whoever it was to stop but seemed unable to form words. So she opened her eyes. A boy of about four years was staring down at her.
"Gwen's awake!" he called out.
"Did you wake her Elyan?" a female voice asked as its owner entered Faith's range of vision. Faith found herself being picked up and realised something important. She was a baby.
