Unexpected Knights. Chapter 1 Written by ZL

I could have nearly sworn that Sir Arthur avoided his knights when they called out to him, but maybe I was hallucinating. I shrugged it off but as words came out of his mouth, it not only surprised me but the knights too.

"What!" the knight who seems to be the youngest shouted, however, another laughed. I ignored the commotion and joined my friends, they were unusually quiet and all looked at me when I came and sat down.

"What?" I asked puzzled by the unusual quietness.

"We're joining them to rescue the pope," Ragonet said glumly.

"Who?" I asked looking around.

"Arthur's knights," my captain said smiling a little.

I went silent as the news rushed over me. More blood and more killing? I have to reconsider that.

"What! Why?" I asked bewildered.

"That's why we came here in the first place," Faccacia said obviously sad that she hadn't been inform till now.

Melanie nodded. "I was ordered by our king."

"And what's our reward?" I asked.

"Our release," Raciel said sipping her drink.

"I thought that's what he said about a month ago in our last quest," I said angrily.

"We have no choice," Melanie shrugged.

"I can't believe this? All of you is going to fall for our king's trap the second time? What did he say, exactly," I nearly shouted.

"He said he'll release us once we come back like them," Melanie said throwing a sideway glance towards the knights who were still arguing. "And who is 'us'," I asked.

Raciel looked up.

"Cursed our king," she said that bowed her head in embarrassment.

"Well-," my captain said.

"Out with the truth Captain; and the truth is that he didn't really specify who 'us' is," I said. People were starting to stare at me; I ignored them but realized that the other knights had scattered and probably getting ready to go on their journey.

"So you're not coming with us?" asked Melanie raising her eyebrow.

"Do I have a choice?" With that, I stormed off angrily towards the stables only to find two men there quarrelling with each other.
