Alright, Chapter III, here we go! In all honesty, I'm kinda surprised that I'm writing so much. Anyways, you're not here for my rambling, you're here to read my story!
As usual, I don't own anything.
Chapter III: Unexpected Undertaking
"Wait, WHAT? Nicholas, you never told me you were a Knight!" Judith's eyes were lit with fury. Honestly, Nicholas didn't see why it was such a big deal. Yeah, he was a Knight, but that's in the past! "Judith, I-" Suddenly, Judith cut him off. "Nicholas, why do you not tell me these things? First, please, don't keep any secrets from me. And second, who's that Mordred guy you were talking about?"
Nicholas put his hands on his head and began to explain. "Alright, Carrots. Mordred was an awful Knight, one of the first Knights of the Round Table. When Arthur went to duel Lancelot for the final time, he was accompanied by Mordred. However, Mordred was the only one who returned. When the other Knights questioned him about what happened, he said that he saw Lancelot kill King Arthur, and that when he did, he shot arrow after arrow into his chest, killing Lancelot. There was no one else who was there, so they had no choice to believe him.
Then, the enchantress, Morgan le Fey appeared,and said that Mordred was the next heir to the throne. When one of the Knights objected to the claim, Mordred had them executed for contempt. More and more followed after the first one. Eventually, Mordred began to recruit more Knights to replace the ones he had taken care of." Judith looked upon both of them with horror.
"That's horrible! Why did no one attempt to get rid of him?" Victoria said, "Well, I tried to once. However, he easily countered me and thought I was simply testing his abilities. 'Honestly, you must attack with more ferocity. You can't expect to kill anyone if you're aren't fighting with the intent to kill!' That fucking prick. Wish I could've killed him. World would've been better off without him." "Wait, so, about Nicholas being a Knight?", Judith said. "I WAS A Knight! I'm not one anymore! Why do people want me to be a Knight again?"
"Because, like I said, we need you. You're one of the only remaining decent Knights. Besides, Mordred's planning something big. None of us can stop him right now, and you're the only one with the potential to stop him." An idea came to Nicholas' mind, who slowly started to smile, and said, "There is another way. I could ask you-know-who to teach her how to fight." When she heard this, Victoria gasped. "You wouldn't! You know what she said, if she ever sees you there again, you're as good as dead!" Nicholas smiled, and said, "It's worth a shot. Besides, we don't have much to lose." "Besides our lives? You wouldn't dare go back there, and I know it!" Judith, tired of hearing them argue, decided to chime in. "Where exactly are you talking about?" Victoria decided to inform the rabbit of their intentions. "Nicholas' was talking about taking you to the Lady of the Lake, in order to have her train you in the art of swordplay. It's a bad idea, one that would probably get us all killed." "And yet, it's worth a try!" Victoria and Nicholas went back and forth arguing, so long that Judith decided to take matters into her own paws.
When Victoria and Nicholas were fiished arguing, they noticed a note on a tree stump. When Victoria read the note, she gasped, before stumbling backwards. "What is it? What's wrong?", Nicholas asked. Victoria responded, with tears in her eyes, "It's Judith. She went to go find the Lady of the Lake."
A.N.) Who exactly is the Lady of the Lake? What are her intentions? When will I write something decent? Find out in Chapter IV of, "OF BLADES AND BUNNIES!"
