Chapter 11
The last round was with swords. Morgana paused inside the tent for a few moments before leaving and going to join Uther and Adele. She sat down beside Adele, who wrapped her arm around Morgana and rubbed her shoulder softly.
The fight began and Vinnie was determined to win. He lunged at Arthur with the sword flying in all directions. Arthur lashed out quickly and the blunt end of his sword connected with Vinnie.
Vinnie ignored it and continued to lash out at Arthur like a madman. Arthur skillfully blocked the blows while weaving in and out of Vinnie's reach. Morgana caught her breath as Arthur's sword was knocked out of his hand by one of Vinnie's wild blows.
She watched as he weaved around the tournament arena, searching for a sword. She could see the desperation on his face as he ran around Vinnie for the tenth time. Morgana looked over to Uther and saw a sword in his belt. She reached over and grabbed it.
"Arthur!" she called and threw the sword out to him. The fight continued until Arthur managed to trip Vinnie up and he landed with a hard thump on the ground. Arthur pressed the tip of his sword to his chest and paused before taking it away and leaning down to help him up. Arthur turned to face his father, breathing heavily and Morgana was on top of him. She held him tightly in her arms. "I guess a girl really did save you now." Morgana murmured and Arthur smiled.
"Yeah," he whispered. "And I'm so glad she did."
It's not over yet! ;)
