Summary: He is the bravest of them all.
A/N: Sort of a sequel to Bravery. Lancelot's thoughts when he's going to sacrifice himself to the veil.
7. courage.
we all want love,
we all want honour
but nobody wants to pay the asking price.
Look after him. Bring him home.
Lancelot glances at the unconscious Arthur. He is never meant to be the sacrifice; not with him or Merlin nearby. He is the Prince of Camelot, his is a death in battle, not in a temple of the Old Religion.
Well.. It's my duty to protect Arthur. Surely you can understand that?
He glances to Merlin. He converses with the Cailleach, a look of grim acceptance on his face. So ready to die, he muses, turning forward. Not today. No one else will die today, friend.
Sir Lancelot the Brave steps into the veil.
