Disclaimer: I do not own King Arthur. Some other rich guy does.
This basically follows the same storyline as the movie, but I'm changing a few things...
---------------------------
Part 1
The Bishop frowned, obviously not very happy about what had happened.
They had made a girl into a knight.
Completely by accident, of course.Some how, the redhead had concealed her true sex and impersonated her dead brother. How she had kept it from the other knights, he would never know, but he was going to making a little trip to the southern wall of brittan anyways. She had served for 15 years, and now he was being forced to release her without punishment.
Then a messenger ran into his office.
-:-:-:-:-
Elanea faced her angry commander with a straight face, which was a good thing, because otherwise she would have been rolling on the floor with laughter. Arthur was giving her the longest lecture in the history of man kind on how pertending to be her long dead brother was wrong. Any other knight would have paled, maybe even cowered before the quietly furious man. Personally, she found it rather hilarious.
15 years with the same men, always in tight quarters, had passed since her brother had been murdered. 15 years. Yet somehow, these knights had missed that she was a she, not a he.
It was all rather funny when you really thought about it all.
Elanea hardly noticed Arthur had stopped speaking, except for that the room had suddenly become less...one really couldn't say loud because Arthur only got loud when he was angry at men, and she was a woman, so it was more like more tense than anything else.
She watched Arthur with the most innocent look she could manage. His frown deepened.
"Well, aren't you going to say something?"
Oooo...now she got to make him even more irritated. "Nope." By some miricle, she kept a straight face.
"What?"
"Nope."
"You're not going to say anything?"
"Well, obviously I have, seeing as how I had to answer your question verbally." She had always been good at being smart, even if she wasn't the best reader or writer.
Arthur gave an annoyed sigh, showing how much anger he was holding back. "Go on, I know what you're up to."
She broke into a smile then. "Aw, but I have sooo many-"
"Just get."
She didn't protest a second time and left, making for the stables as fast as she could, laughing all the way. She passed Gawain and Galahad on the way, making the two knights look after her in confusion. She couldn't wait to get to her horse.
-:-:-:-:-
Tristan watched Elanea as she saddled her horse. Unlike most of the Salmation knights, he wasn't desperately suprised by the sudden discovery of her gender. Byran, her older brother, had always been rather girly for a man, and his sudden willingness to fight and size change made it obvious, to him at least, that it wasn't the same man. She had been very embarassed when she was first discovered, by himself ironically, and she hadn't been the same towards him since. That was because he had decided he needed a bath soon after she had disappeared towards the lake.
She didn't even notice him until he said, "Elanea, what are you doing?"
she jumped and whirled around in suprise.Then she glarred at him for a moment for ruining her good mood, then jumped on her horse.
"You're a smart man, Tristan. What does it look like I'm doing?"
"You better not be going out on your own again." said another man, who had just walked into the stables. He gave her a charming smile. "Arthur will have your head when you come back, you know."
"He already wants her head, Lancelot, and a bit more if he is as smart as I believe him to be." said Tristan, smiling evily.
Elanea rolled her eyes as the two men laughed. "I'm going now, and don't follow me if you don't want to die tomorrow."
She clearly was not very happy with them. "If you come back alive, that is."
The knights burst into another round of laughter and Elanea moaned as she charged out of the stables and made for the wall gate.

Far from accurate, I know, but I had fun writing it.I think I'm better at writing evil and funny stuff, how about you? Well I hope you enjoyed it!
R&R!!
