Authors Note: I don't own anything that may seem Familiar. I do own my made up Characters and the plot. If you would like to use them please ask.
I also wanted to note: That in my story every one in the movie survived (except of bad guys lol) and this plays roughly half a year later. Thank you for reading.
The Beginning
Charlotte- or Feather as she is known by close friends,( because of the feathers she always plated in her hair)- sat on the boulder outside her house looking to the west; the piece of paper in her hand was opened and closed so many times that the writing was nearly unreadable. Sighing Charlotte read the letter one more time in the light of dawn,
My Dear Feather,
It grieves me to know, that your Step mother refuses to change her mind about the marriage arrangements to - quoting you – the disgusting roman pig with his head in the rear,
I wish there was some thing that I could do to change her mind, but sadly I can't think of a way.
Yet do not worry, there may yet be the chance that you will be happy in the end. And No I do not suggest that you may learn to love this roman officer, so please spare me the foul langue.
I as I have told you when we met, I also have an older brother that was taken to service to the island in the north, Today I received a letter from him. He explained to that it appears that the Romans have decided to withdraw. They are going to leave the natives to their faith of the hands of invaders called, Saxons. His Commander decided that they would stay to fight. The Natives have crowned Him their King, now. My brother is now a Knight of the realm! He beckons for my family to come over. Mama and Papa said that they can't leave because my grand parents are too old for such a journey but they said if Percival and I wish to leave we were free to go. (Mind you, I think mother hoped that my brother can find me a man that I can't scare away– Feather grinned at that every time she read the letter-. That and because the unsettlement to the east.). I said that I would like to go. Percival agreed to come as well (I very much doubt that he had much of a choice after that unless he wished to go through with the wedding to the fat baker's daughter.) –Again Feather Grinned every single time. So we are going to leave for the island on the 5th of April.
You are of course welcome to join us. I know that you very much like to find out what happened to you Brother. I did ask about him in my last letter, I think it hasn't arrived yet. There are many things Romans may be good at (I'm sure), but their postal service is absolutely shocking.
As it may be, we will be passing your way so if you wish to join us just wait for us at you rock on the 8th at dawn, we should be there latest midday. If we aren't there, but you still want to come, just leave us a note. We will wait for you as long as possible. I hope you will come this trip would be very boring with out you.
Hope to see you soon my dearest friend,
Love Isolode
Feather sighed. She had tried to reason with her step mother a last time the night before. But she failed as usual. Having seen no other choice she packed her bags, saddled her horses and took her dogs (Hunter and Chase) to wait for the sun to raise.
The dogs each gave a soft bark telling Feather that she was not alone any more. With out a second thought, she snatched up her already strung bow and hid herself into a nock in the rocks. There was a single figure on a hose. Her breath caught in her throat. Something was wrong. IT couldn't be Isolode and Percival since it was only one person. Chances were that people already had found out that she was missing and her things gone. They could be looking for her already and this would be the first place they would look since she came here every morning for the past 15 and half years to see whether she could see him coming home. Pressing herself closer to the rock she felt her heart beat becoming faster and faster as the figure got closer and she couldn't make out the figure. "Feather I know you're here. I want to come too." Said a young voice she recognized. "Kay! You idiot you scared the day lights out of me!" Feather hissed angrily.
"I am sorry but I want to come too!" the ten year old insisted.
"Kay, you can't."
"And why not?"
"Because well… your to young."
"I am already ten. In a couple of years I probably will be called up to services." Her Nephew pointed out. Feather winced at that. She was about to continue to argue half heartily- a part of her already knowing that Kay won- when the dogs gave another bark. Grabbing Kay by the arm she pulled him out of sight and raised her bow again. This time she saw to blonde heads in the distance. She sighed in relief. By the time Isolode and Percival arrived the sun was already in the bright blue sky. Grinning feather hugged them both before she introduced them to Kay. She then whistled for her horses and dogs, swung herself into the saddle of Black-wind, her red-black stallion with a blonde mane. She didn't bother with a lead rein for Silver-shadow- which carried now both Kay's and her luggage- knowing that she would stay true to her name and follow Black-wind as if she were his shadow. Kay himself climbed on to the saddle of his horse, Cupper-hoof.
"That's a nice mare." Percival said with a look that clearly meant, isn't that horse to big for you? Deciding to misread the look Kay said:
"My parents were going to sell her to the butchers, because they think she is nasty. They just don't know how to handle her right."
"Now let's get going shall we. We have a long journey ahead of us." Isolode said in a tone that left no room for arguments. Kay gave the place he called home one last glance before rode on. Feather looked straight a head, not sparing look behind.
Authors Note: I know it sounds a bit weird with always just writing brother. But I want it to be a surprise whose relatives they are!! I wonder how many can guess!
I also like to say that I am simply using names from other knights of the round table, that as far as I can remember, weren't in the movie for some of my OC's. If people get upset about it I am happy to change them. I would also be happy if people would inform me whether my spelling gets to terrible. I am actually from Germany so English is my second language.
The knights will be there soon. Please bare with me it gets better.
If you feel like it review. See you in the next Chapter!
