Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters except for the OCs.
AN: Ok I really don't like describing people that much when it comes to writing so I'll just give you a general idea now.
Jasmine/ Rosita
Ok before she came to the dark ages she was 18years old. She has now been there for 10 years.
She is 5'7" with long dark brown wavy hair, and deep green eyes. When relaxing she remains covered up but when fighting she tends to wear something that she can move easily in. She is able to use an array of weapons her main ones being: her Sais Knives; Short swords; Throwing and fighting knives; Whips; and bow and arrow. She was taught to adapt her fighting skills to any situation that she may end up in (example: Like when Riddick uses a tea cup to kill one of the guards in The Chronicles of Riddick). She wears a dragon pendent around her neck; and a platted leather bracelet on her right wrist. She has the Tattoo of phoenix on the back of her right shoulder (quite big with its tail feathers going down the centre of her back); the mark of the legion on her upper left arm; and a horse on her lower leg. She is very quiet and doesn't really talk unless it is absolutely necessary. She's very serious and very rarely smiles but this is mainly due to the life that she has had. She has got a sense of humour which is rarely seen and she has a kind nature also.
Flick
She is 18years old. She is 5'6" with mousy blonde shoulder length hair and dark brown eyes. When relaxing she tends to wear skirts and when fighting she wears something that is easy to move in. When in battle she uses a broad sword and shield; double ended spear; and a battle axe. She wears a dolphin pendent and a gold bangle on her left wrist. She has a dolphin tattoo on the back of her left shoulder. She is quiet a bubbly person and always up for a laugh. She gives Bors a run for his money when they have their drinking games, and when she fights she tends to get distracted by a certain curly haired knight.
Steph
She is 18years old, 5'6" with long blonde hair and cystal blue eyes. When relaxing she tends to wear skirts and dresses, and when she is fighting she wear something that is easy to move in. When in battle she tends to stay out of the way and help the other by using her bow, but if she needs to fight she will use her short sword and battle mace. She wears an amethyst stone pendent and a gold bangle around her upper right arm. She has a small sparrow tattoo at the base of her neck. She is quiet at times giving her oppinons when needed, but can loosen up and have a good time when she is having a drink with her friends or when she feels she can relax a little.
Alright, there we go. I feel a lot better now that I have done that. On with the story!!
Chapter 5
452AD
An hour later the Knights and the women came through the gates of Hadriens wall. Rosita gazed around herself in hidden wonder at the people of the fort, many were busy with their work and some stopped to smile at the return of the knights. They kept going through the fort until they arrived at the stables and got off of the horses.
The knights were glad to be back at the fort and were eager to go to the tavern for a much needed drink. Rosita was hesitant about allowing her horse to be taken by the stable hands but when she got a reasuring look from Arthur, she handed the raines over.
"Careful, he may be a bit skittish for the next hour. Just try and calm him by talking to him as you brush him and there's an apple in the saddle bag. If he's still funny after that just come and find me." The stable hand nodded to Rosita before leaving with the Stallion.
"Rosita?" She turned around to see Arthur was the one who had called her. There was a man next to him. "This is Jols, he will take you to your room to allow you to freshen up if you wish and then bring you down to the meeting hall."
Rosita nodded her head and picked up her bags, following Jols silently as he led her to her room. When they got thereJols told her that she was on the same wing as the knights and that he would wait outside the room for her so she sould freshen up a little. Rosita walked inside and closed the door. Her room contained a single bed, a bedside table, a chest, some shelves, a small fireplace, a dressing screen and a wash basin. Rosita put her things down on her bed, and walked over to the wash basin. She washed face, then removed her tunic and trousers, leaving her in her under garments. She washed her arms, legs and torso before drying off and going back to her things on the bed. She pulled out a clean pair of black leggins and a long black dress/tunic that was figure hugging and went to just above her ankles, with long sleeves and slits up the sides of the dress/tunic all the way up to her mid thighs. Satisfied with what she would wear she put them on and pulled her boots back on and took a few of the braids out of her hair and brushed it a little, before going back to her door and opening it.
She opened the door and looked at Jols who leaning against the wall picking his nails. "I'm ready to go down to Arthur now." She said, then had to chuckle because she made Jols jump as he hadn't heard her door open.
"Ok. Follow me." They began walking down the corridor towards the meeting hall. Jols wasn't sure what to say to this new woman. He felt slightly intmidated by her because her silence and seriousness was somewhat over powering. She reminds me of Tristan. He thought to himself.
They arrived outside the meeting room after a couple of minutes of silence. Jols opened the door and walked in. "Lady Rosita is here to see you Arthur." He said when the knights looked at him.
"Thankyou Jols. Show her in please." Jols nodded to Arthur and stepped back outside. Before she came inside, the knights her talking to Jols. "Thankyou Jols. You've been very kind. By the way I'm no lady. Just call me Rosita." After that she entered the meeting room and looked around it in wonder. "Well Arthur. It appears the whispers on the wind about you are true. You really do believe in equality amongst men."
Arthur smiled at her kindly before speaking,"Yes I do. Please take a seat, dinner will be served shortly." She took a seat not far from Arthur and looked around the room in admiration.When she looked back at the group she noticed that Flick and Steph were watching her carefully. "If there's something that you wish to speak about don't hesitate to." She said to everyone, but particularly the two girls. The knights looked at the girls as they hadn't noticed them watching Rosita carefully.
A moment later, Steph spoke up in a calm voice. "You're not who you say you are. I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I know. I realised when Arthur asked if you were the one he was told about, then again when you spoke of Flick, I noticed a small flicker of recognition in your eyes. Your eyes also gave you away, deep as the darkest forest. But do you know what really gave you away?" As she spoke, the knights looked at her questioningly and Flick didn't know what to think. "It was just now, the fact that you weren't in awe at the room when you came in. It was as if you were expecting to see something like this. You never were able to hide your interest when it came to the legends of Arthur and his Knights...Jasmine." At the mention of the name, Flick snapped her head back to her in shock and the rest of the knights were really confused.
"I'm surprised it took you so long to figure it out. I knew who you both were straight away, you haven't changed at all." Jasmine said without emotion.
"We've only been in this time period for six months, but you...how is it that you have changed so much?" Steph stared at Jasmine intently waiting for an answer. Jasmine just looked at her for a moment before answering her question.
"I've been in this time period for ten years. When I first arrived I was in Rome and landed at the very feet of Caesar Marcus Aurelius himself, not only him but also Maximus Decimus Meridius. It appears that Marcus was also warned via a dream about my arrival, just like you were Arthur." She looked at Arthur who had a look of understanding on his face when she said this.
"Wait a second." Flick spoke out for the first time since Jasmine's true identity was revealed. "You mean, you actually met Maximus?"
"Yes and I faught alongside him in many battles, the biggest being the last battle Caesar ever saw. The battle against the Barbarions in Germania." Jasmine said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "And before you even ask...yes I have been by his side through every hardship he's ever had to face. I may never have saw it but you have. Just think of Gladiator." Flisck and Steph both looked shocked at this statement. "Now if you don't mind, I will return to my room, this talk has brought up some bad memories for me."
Without another word spoken from herself and before anybody else could speak, Jasmine was gone having almost ran from the room. No one noticing the tears in her eyes except for Tristan. He realised in that moment that she had been through more than any of the other knights and she had deeper wounds than any of them.
AN: Okay thats all for now. I'll try and update agin soon xx
