Camelot from a distance looked strong and beautiful. Nothing more simple could describe the mixture of feelings at the site. Camelot from a distance was prideful as well. For some time you saw trees on trees on trees, but up above the trees was the castle. Almost like a bird. It was in this moment of gazing at beauty that she realized how appealing Camelot looked. She had seen it many occasions on the inside, but during her field work outside the walls she had never seen the view people often described.
"Cassandra!" Her brother caught her attention. She glanced at Camelot once more and then rushed ahead to meet her brother.
"Gerard, do you think I might get a job in the castle?" Gerard laughed.
"Seek one you may do, but to get one would be rather difficult I would think."
"Why do you say so?"
"Because Cassandra, you have to do a great deal." She gave a rather childish look of annoyance and huffed to his side.
"Are you calling me lazy?"
"No of course not," he said ruffling the top of her head, "just that you would be preoccupied every moment you worked."
"Well I do that now."
"True enough, but still I do not think it would be wise considering your love of magic."
"Oh Gerard, what would happen? I can't get put to death just because I like magic. We know that I have no magical ability." Cassandra sounded rather disappointed by this.
"Still, loving magic isn't wise."
"And neither is fearing it as Uther does." Gerard whirled to her and they halted in their walk.
"Just promise me that if you seek a position in the castle to never speak as you do with me." Gerard whispered fiercely. Cassandra smiled at him and took his hands.
"You insult me brother. For I am smarter than I look." Gerard gave her an easy smile back and they began to laugh. They began to walk again, this time Cassandra took the lead. Walking as if a child playing some adventure game. Gerard smiled at her, then took a glance at the distant Camelot. Something he vowed he would see the end of.
