Gwen, Elyan and Leon
It was a special day in Camelot- it was the thirteenth birthday of the Prince, Arthur Pendragon and everyone had gathered to watch the parade, in the middle of which, was Prince Arthur himself.
In the crowd were the three quite unlikely friends; the children of the blacksmith Gwen and Elyan, and the son of a knight, Leon. The three watched together as the King's knights marched past, followed by Arthur, and the King himself.
"Look Leon there's your father!" As they all stood on their toes to catch a glimpse of the nobles and soldiers.
At that moment, Arthur looked over at them, and recognising Leon he smiled and waved happily before they were out of view and the parade ended. All of a sudden Elyan laughed.
"You're not blushing are you?" He asked his sister.
"No, why would I be?" She asked, her voice defensive.
"Aaw does Gwen have a crush on Prince Arthur?" Leon joined in the teasing as Gwen blushed more furiously.
"No, no way! He's far too..." She struggled to think if an excuse as her two companions poked more and more fun at her until they reached the edge of the forest where they like to play.
"Anyway," they'd had enough teasing her now and moved the conversation to something more interesting, "did you see those knights they were so cool! I can't wait until I can be one!" Leon went to pick up a huge stick on the floor but Elyan stopped him and took the stick instead. He pointed it at his friend's chest and said grandly
"Sir Leon I challenge you to a duel!"
Leon took another makeshift weapon from the ground and hit Elyan's away and replied,
"I accept your challenge Sir Elyan!"
They mocked bowing to each other and they proceeded to have a rather unimpressive fight ending with Leon winning then both boys laughing on the floor. Gwen however, did not look impressed.
"Oh honestly that was awful; I could beat both of you easily!"
At this they erupted into even harder laughter until they recovered enough for Elyan to say,
"Okay whatever you say Gwen. Besides girls can't be knights and you'd never beat us."
"Okay then, fight me and prove it!" She took Leon's stick and pointed it at her brother.
"Oh come on then Gwen! I'll try not to hurt you." He taunted her as he stood up ready to face his newest opponent.
Leon watched in amusement as Gwen absolutely thrashed her brother and his look of horror at being beaten by a girl. Needless to say they never let him forget that moment when he was beaten by his sister.
