This story was a Tokyo Mew Mew one but originally this story was about Angel's Friends, at that time I lost the interest a bit on the series and re-wrote it as a Tokyo Mew Mew one but now I have intentions of finishing this one as it was. The characters are:
Kayley – Raf
Garrett – Sulfus
Devon & Cornwall – Miki & Gas
Sir Lional – Malachia
Lady Juliana – Angelie
Ruber – Drake
Merlin – Arkhan
King Arthur – Tyco
Summary: Raf, a young, fearless lady and daughter of the best knight of King Tyco, embarks on a great and dangerous adventure when Drake, the man who killed her father when she was only 10, steals the legendary sword, Sulfus, a young and blind man, who only seems to trust his falcon and lives in the Forbidden Forest, and Miki and Gas, a woman and man cursed to be glued to each other until they know what it means 'Team Work'. Together, they must save the kingdom from the hands of Drake and retrieve Excalibur to its rightful place.
Final note: Don't worry, this won't be exactly like the original movie, there will be a few scenes and the ending as well will be made as my own ^^
Blind Love
Chapter 1 – Goodbye daddy…
In a far away land, pure and free, surrounded by a blue and clean sea, on the top of long cliffs where the waves reached, a family composed by three people rode happily their horses. A young girl with bright blonde hair, that reached her shoulders, and sapphire blue eyes laughed as she tried to make her horse run faster, her parents followed after their daughter, riding their own horses.
"Come on!" she said as they rode back to the farm where they lived. Once they got there, the young girl's father got out off his horse and walked towards his wife, helping her climb off of the animal while their daughter stood up on the cell, trying to keep her equilibrium, she called "Father!"
The man took his arms off of his wife and turned around to face his daughter, he laughed as he saw the girl trying to keep her equilibrium, he walked to her and once he was near enough, the blonde haired child jumped off the cell and her father caught her, however he lost his own equilibrium and both fell on the ground and rolled down, the woman watched the scene with a smile on her face.
"Father..do you really have to go?" asked the young girl as she turned around so now she was laying on her stomach instead on her back, her father stood up, supporting himself on a knee as he stared at his daughter.
"I'm afraid I must, Raf. You know the King's knights will be here soon." he said, the young girl named Raf giggled and keep staring at her father as she swung her feet back and forth.
"Tell me again, why you became a knight?" the young girl's mother rolled her eyes at this and shook her head
"Raf, you have heard it thousands times!" she said, her husband shook his head, turning his attention to his wife
"Oh, it's fine dear" and he turned his sight again to his daughter "Well, my daughter…before you were born, the land was dark and treacherous…" he explained as he drew three separated circles on the sand of the ground, his wife joined them and sat down on the ground "The people stood divided…brother fighting brother, the only hope for peace was the legend of the sword Excalibur. It was said that only the true king would pull this magical sword from the stone and unit the people. Many tried…all failed…then on the very day that you were born, an unexpected hero stepped for it…his name was Tyco…and he was the true king. With Excalibur at his side, he lead us out of the darkness and together we build the greatest kingdom of the land, and we overjoyed!"
By now Raf had stood up from her spot and was dancing and jumping inside a big circle she had drawn on the sand "Camelot!" she said as she stopped spinning around and let herself fall again on the sand, her father showed her his shield with the three golden rings united
"And so these three rings represent the unit of our kingdom. As a knight I took enough to protect Camelot, King Tyco and the Excalibur." Raf smiled and suddenly a sound propagated through the air, the family looked at the horizon where they could see a few people approaching the farm.
"The knights are here!" said Raf as she pointed at the couple of knights that rode their horses towards her home, the family climbed on their own horses and rode towards the knights, the young girl's father put one of his hands on his daughter's blonde hair and caressed it
"I must go now, Raf, the king summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot" he stopped his horse so he could lean in and kiss his wife "Goodbye" then he started riding back towards the knights, however little Raf rode fast too and followed her father
"I'm coming with you, daddy!" her father laughed and turned his face to look at his daughter as he keep riding
"Yes! When you're old enough, Raf! I will take you to Camelot, I promise!" Raf stopped riding as she watched her father disappear together with the other knights "I love you!" then he was gone, her mother joined her side and caressed the little girl's hair.
"One day…I will be a knight…like father"
Meanwhile Malachia, Raf's father, rode towards his partners and without stopping he called them "Let's go!"
"Let's go!" said the other knights at the same time as they joined him, Malachia rode in front of all of them. The four knights started their trip, taking the road that would take them to Camelot faster, the trip was about three days and the knights went on without stopping, only resting for a while at the middle of night but then started riding again.
Very soon the castle of Camelot could be seen by the knights, they were immediately welcomed by their partners, they let the bridge down so they could walk inside the kingdom, at the same time all of them sang a happy song
United we stand Hand upon hand United we stand Hand upon hand
Now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all
Now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all
Near the stables, a young boy could be seen practicing with a woodened stick, as if he was using a sword, everyone joined together near the castle's stairs where King Tyco, a long blond haired and blue eyes man, appeared on the entrance together with his magician, a white haired and blue eyed man, Arkan. The king joined his knights in the song
It's been ten years we celebrate Each of us will now divide
All that made our kingdom great
Liberty and Justice for all
In equal shares our countryside
Promising equality for all who reside!
From the shadows, and without anyone noticing it, came a man with short black hair and piercing green eyes, he joined the group of knights that followed the king inside the castle and inside the room where the Round Table stood
United we stand
Now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
The knights and the king sat down around the round table, they placed their shields on it and raised their swords in the air before they placed them on their sheaths that stood on the back of their chairs
Hand upon hand
Brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all
One by one, the knights raise their shields in the air as they say strong words
Liberty! Shall be greater than all Freedom!
Justice!
Trust!
Peace!
Honour!
By the same order, they started lowering down the shields as they keep saying the words
No one greater than all Goodness! Shall be greater than . . .
Strength!
Valour!
The cheerful moment ended when the black haired man lowered down his shield and put it on the table roughly, which made the other knights startle a bit, the man stared at them with a cynical and dark look, then sat down back on his chair like the others.
"Charming sing a song…now let's get down on business! I have waited too long for this day! What about my new lands?" he said, the king keep his calm and serene look but answered him
"Sir Drake, always thinking of yourself…The Knights of the Round Table have business with people and not to ourselves. The lands will be divided according each ones needs!" the knights all agreed with the king's words, except Drake…
"Then I need more than everyone! I wouldn't have supported you if I knew this was for…charity…" said the man putting anger and disgust in the last word, Malachia didn't like his words and hit with his fist on the table, glaring at the man
"The king has decided!" Drake smiled cynically
"Then it's time for a new king and I vote for me!"
All the knights started rising from their chairs, seeing these words as a threat to the king, Malachia clenched his teeth, looked with nothing but hate at the man standing on the other side of the table, he murmured between his teeth "I will not serve a false king…"
Drake kept his cynical smile "Then serve…" he suddenly took an axe under the table "a dead one!" and with that he jumped on the table, running towards the king, the knights did the same and tried to stop him, Malachia was the first to stand in front of the king but before he could protect the king or himself, he was hit hard by his adversary and fell off the table, the other knights keep trying to stop Drake but he easily defeated them and keep running towards the king, however…the king was faster than the black haired man and was able to take Excalibur off it's sheath and when the sword came in contact with Drake's weapon, the attack was repelled which made the emerald eyed man fly to the other side of the room.
He stood up from the floor and held his right arm that was wounded; he raised his emerald eyes and looked with pure hate at the king "One day that sword will be mine!" and he started running out of the room as the knights charged at him "Everything will be mine!" he closed the big doors before the axes and swords of the knights hit him. Once the evil knight disappeared from the room, the king and the other knights turned their attention to the knight that laid down on the floor, not moving…
"Is he alright?"
"Sir Malachia…?"
Meanwhile back to the farm, young Raf was playing with her horse, a woodened stick and shield on her hands as her blue eyes, eyed the target, which was a snowman, with "malice". She made her horse run forward and she laughed when she was able to dissolve the snowman into nothing when her stick, that was supposed to represent her sword, hit it. Then she heard the sound of horses approaching, the young girl looked at the gate of her home and smiled when she saw the king's knights approaching, her mother was sweeping the snow out of the entrance of the house, she looked up when her daughter called her
"Mother, listen! It's father!"
The blonde haired girl climbed off her horse and started running towards the knights, she got between them since half of them was on the right side of the gate and the other on the left, it had snowed not too long ago there was some mist in the air, she tried her best to see through it, looking for her father, however the other knights just looked at the smiling and happy ten year old girl with sadness and pity as they keep their way inside the farm. Raf keep walking through the knights, ignoring the sad looks she got from them until she reached the end and saw a woodened car being pulled by a bull, on the top of the wood a body was laying down, covered with a blanket and on the top of it laid a shield, the shield of the Knight of the Round Table. Since she had reached the end and saw everyone else but her father, Raf realized the worst…she took a few steps back with a pained look on her face as she murmured
"No…"
A couple of minutes later, all the knights, the king and Raf's mother, who was holding her daughter by her hand, were near a temple were earlier they had buried Malachia's body, King Tyco approached Angelie and gave her the shield that once belonged to her deceased husband.
"Your husband died saving my life…to save Camelot…Lady Angelie, the gates of Camelot will always be open to you…" he turned to face the knights and continued his speech "Sir Malachia…was my most trusting knight and also…my dear…dear friend…we will always remember how brave he was" and with that the king and the knights raised their swords in the air. Raf walked away from everyone and approached the grave of her father, she caressed it gently…then she walked towards her horse and hugged him as tears rolled down her cheeks, she turned around to face the small lake in front of her, the young girl kneeled down and stared at her reflection…
If you were with me now
I'd find myself in you
If you were with me now
Another tear rolled down her cheek, changing the appearance of little Raf to a teenager
You're the only one who knew
All the things we planned to do
The wind blew gently made the water move, making the teenager girl change appearance again, this time to an adult, she was now taller, her body with the right curves and her blonde hair was longer, reaching the end of her back and now caught in a low ponytail, the girl stood up and looked around before she keep singing
I want to live my life
The way you said I would
She run around a clean and pure field, then she sat down as she drew with a small stick the three rings of Camelot on the sand
With courage as my light
Fighting for what's right
Like you made me believe I could
She looked up at the sky and started remembering the moments she spent with her father
And I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
On my father's wings
She returned to the farm where she crossed paths with her mother, she handed to her daughter a bucket of food but she only turned around with a dreamy look
This world I'll never see
She threw the food at the pigs, who now covered with their food stared at her as if she was crazy
My dreams that just won't be
She looked at the top of the field where her horse, who obviously also grew up, stood
This horse's stride
with one days ride
Will have covered more
distance than me
Raf smiled, she picked up a rake and used it to jump over the pigs, falling on her horse's back, who once felt her weight started running
But I will fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
She passed by a scarecrow and hit it with the rake, immediately scaring the crows that stood there
And I can feel his heartbeat still
And I will do great things
She started approaching the stables, she eyed the straw as if it was her target, she smiled once again and threw the rake towards it, hitting it right on the middle
On my father's wings
Once again, Raf grabbed hold of the rake and brought a lot of straw with it, she put it inside the corral of the cows, then she turned again to her horse and gave him a bucket of water.
Someday with his spirit to guide me
And his memory beside me
I will be…
She opened the stable's windows and stood on the top of it
Free!
She jumped out of the window, falling on a piece of wood where a chicken stood, making it fly really high
To fly on my father's wings
To places I have never been
There is so much I've never seen
And I can feel his heartbeat still
Raf ran happily, with her arms open, on the top of a cliff until she reached the tip where the free wind played with her blonde hair
And I will do great things
On my father's wings
Her mother approached the cliff and looked up, she smiled at her daughter as she turnd around and started walking back
On my father's wings
Raf walked downstairs that were near the cliff and ran to her mother, they held their hands and both walked back inside their home..
