-1Auras and Thoughts
Hey guys another King Arthur story from the writer Troyfan16 (aka me), some of the inspiration of this story coming from a fellow writer. I hope that everyone enjoys the story. I promise that this story will be updated on a regular basis, so unless there are any outside forces that I cannot control you can read the next chapter in a week or so.

"Savannah, please." the woman begged in a whisper. The woman that was being addressed gave a sigh of annoyance.
"Go on you may as well have it out your system it is not as though I wish to rest." the woman named Savannah said to her fellow rider. Savannah leaned forward and gave her horse a gentle pat on the neck.
The original speaker looked back up to the top of the wall, "Listen to me Roman pig! We have traveled far too long to engage in idle chat with a mere soldier of no importance. We demand entrance now!"
Savannah scratched the side of her face looking at the other woman, "Evelyn, that may have been a little past what you should have said."
"So? You say that like it is a bad thing." Evelyn replied with a shrug.
"If we are not allowed entrance to this fort then yes it is bad." Savannah replied, "You really upset him you know."
Evelyn rolled her eyes, "I did not notice."
"Evelyn if I have to sleep on the ground one more night because of your snappish mouth, your pain will be far greater then you can imagine." Savannah snapped back.

"Lancelot there you are, you are needed at the wall." Jols said nodding the way he had come. Lancelot stood from the table at the tavern and followed Jols towards the wall.
"The problem?" asked Lancelot.
"Two women." Jols said as they walked up the steps.
They reached the top of the stairs when Lancelot asked, "I again ask what is the problem?"
Jols smirked, "Choose your words carefully Lancelot."
Lancelot leaned against the wall while still glancing back at Jols and with a smirk said, "I always do."
"You never do." Jols whispered grinning.
"Good day fair ladies." Lancelot called down to the two riders. The two women glanced up at Lancelot, who studied the two women carefully. One had long brunette-auburn hair that was styled into a braid and pale green eyes that put a chill to Lancelot's spine. The brunette woman smirked at Lancelot as if she knew exactly what he was trying to do. He then realized who this woman made him think of and Lancelot glanced back at Jols whispering, "That woman has the same stare that Tristan does."
He looked back over to study the other woman. She had hair that hung straight and rested just past her shoulders and it was one of the most beautiful shades of blond he had ever seen. The woman's soft blue eyes were currently trained on him. They were not eyes that were studying him, like the first but they did hold extreme annoyance. Lancelot understood what Jols had meant and Lancelot also knew that he could have his work cut out for him. Knowing by the look on the woman's face her annoyance would soon pass through her lips.

Savannah studied the man who had joined the others on the wall. With a smile of her own Savannah could see the smirk slowly fade from the man's face. 'She is beautiful.' Savannah knew that it would be a bumpy road but none the less he and Evelyn would do wonders for each other's disposition.
Evelyn was quickly overgrowing the annoyance and moving onto anger as the man politely greeted them, "Your good day would be made better if you let us in."
"And how is that?" called the man smirking.
Evelyn took a deep breath and slowly released it, "Because I would not do something that you would regret."
"Eve calm down." chastised Savannah looking over at her friend.
The man at the top of the wall continued smirking, "Perhaps if you could give me your names then I would have them open the gates."
"I do not see how our names have any consequence to the situation." Evelyn called back.
"Well my dear, if you were on this side of the gate I would be happy to explain." Lancelot replied smiling.
'My dear? Who does this Roman bastard think he is to call me dear?'
Evelyn opened her mouth to vocalize her comment. Savannah however punched her friend in the arm and spoke, "My name is Savannah, and this is Evelyn. We only wish a safe place to rest for a few nights we mean no harm."
"Then allow me to be the first to welcome you." called the man.
He disappeared over from the wall and Evelyn turned to Savannah with a glare, "Why did you do that?" Evelyn rubbed the part of her arm that Savannah had punched.
"You know very well why." Savannah responded.
"Oh come on what is wrong with me insulting the curly haired Roman freak?" Evelyn asked.
"First he is not Roman, second he is the one who decided whether or not we could enter this fort, and the third and final point being you like him." Savannah said urging her horse towards the open gate.
Evelyn's jaw dropped, "Take that back! Hey I am talking to you! Savannah!"
Savannah turned over her shoulder giving Evelyn a wink as Evelyn sped up and rode next to Savannah, "Savannah you are doing it again."
"Get over it." Savannah shot back.
"Ladies!" The two women stopped and turned their horses to see the dark-haired man from the wall jogging towards them.
"Oh great." mumbled Evelyn.
"Be nice to him, you do like the man." whispered Savannah.
"I do not." Evelyn snapped back.
"I know you do. No hiding thoughts." Savannah replied. Evelyn shot a glare to Savannah before turning to the man as he bowed.
"I did not have a chance to introduce myself." said the man.
"And?" Evelyn asked annoyed. Savannah removed a foot from the stir-up and kicked Evelyn in the leg. The tone Evelyn held did not deter the man and he in fact seemed to enjoy it.
"My name is Lancelot." the man said smiling.
"Be nice." Savannah warned under her breath.
Evelyn took a deep breath and bowed her head, "Hello."
"How long will you be staying?" asked Lancelot. Evelyn turned to Savannah with an annoyed glare which only earned her a nod from Savannah towards Lancelot.
"A few days, possibly longer." Evelyn answered.
"I would be glad to show you a warm bed." Lancelot said.
"As long as it is as far from your bed as possible." Evelyn said with a polite smile.
Lancelot laughed, "You destroy my dreams lady, I also know a stable where you may take your horses."
"That would be appreciated." said Evelyn. A thud was heard Evelyn turned to where Savannah should have been sitting on her horse. Her friend however was laying on the ground next to her horse sprawled out. Evelyn jumped off of her horse and went next to Savannah.
