ZL's note- First I would like to thank ChildlikeEmpress for reviewing. Well just to reply what you had said. What I mean is that Misty won't have a relationship with Tristan and Galahad but there will be a dash of romance if you want to know. Sorry about the confusion. Here's chapter 5! Enjoy!
Unexpected Knights.
Chapter 5
Written by ZL
We arrived soon to our destination. When I saw the people in front of the gate, I got the shocked of my life. They were serfs; thin and bony. An old man at the corner wrists cuff was hanging with no clothes and many scars on his back caught my eye. The sight was horrifying.
"I am Arthur Castus from Hadrian's wall. Open the gate!" yelled Arthur.
The gate opened and a plump man welcomed us. "Ah welcome knights! My name is Marcus Honorius. So you're the famous roman I heard about. I didn't know your knights consisted of women though. What can I do for you?"
His eyes rested on me and my five companions. My eyes bored into his. I could see his coldness in them despite being a pope.
"Who amongst you is Alecto?" asked Arthur his eyes browsing around.
"I am," replied a thin boy with a rather pale face.
"I am Alecto's father, what it is do you need from him?" asked Marcus.
I noticed that serfs were gathering and watching the commotion.
"An army of Saxons are heading this way. I have been sent here to evacuate you and your family," Arthur replied coldly.
"That is impossible! All our belongings are here. I am sure Rome will send an army," he said.
I hoped down from the horse. This guy was getting on my nerves.
"They have us," Arthur said breathing in.
"We cannot. It's impossible!" Marcus said stubbornly.
I had enough. I did the only way I could do. I walked up to him and punched him on his face; he stumbled and fell to the ground. The guards nearby make a slight movement but stopped when I started talking.
"Look, I have no intention too to help you and your people. Further more I am not willing to sacrifice my life for yours. However, you are our key to bring me and the knights here our freedom. So you'd better follow our instructions or I make sure I'll force everyone of you to the wall," I said hissing every word that came out of my mouth.
I could see fear beginning to cloud his eyes but I was sure he was ready to follow us back to the wall.
"Lady, me and the knights are hungry, get them some food," Arthur said grinning to a woman standing next to Marcus.
I turned my head from him and began to walk slowly towards my stallion. All of the knights were pleased and Dagonet remarked, "Remind me Lancelot never ever to mess with this lady here and be stubborn." Even Tristan let out a small smile.
"Are you from Rome," one of the serf asked Bors.
"From hell," Bors replied nastily.
I saw that serfs were starting to move slowly and realized that Arthur was walking towards where the old man was. I ran there and blended in with the crowd.
"Who is this man," Arthur asked to the crowd of surf surveying the scars and his wounds on his body.
"He's our village elder. He defied-," a man tried to say but stopped when he saw Faccaia drawing out her sword and slash the ropes with it.
Faccacia look at the people around disgustedly.
"For goodness sake! He's your village older and you leave him hanging like that? Are you all humans?" Faccacia asked angrily.
I was sure that the men were shocked to see Faccacia outburst. I got to admit I was shocked too for it was rare to see the timid Faccacia being angry or even shouting.
"Somebody, help this man," Arthur said to the crowd. A lady wearing a grey gown stepped forward and helped the old man.
The crowd soon dispersed and everyone continued what they were doing.
"Where should we camp?" I asked.
"Don't think anyone would offer us their homes. We'll camp and the corner there," Lancelot said.
We all took his advice and started to camp at the corner of the place. It was nearly nightfall and the weather began to grow chilly.
"Cold?" Lancelot asked when he saw me shivering.
"Just need to start up a fire and I'll be find," I replied, collecting a few branches around me to start up a fire.
"I'm going to scout the area. See how far the Saxons are," Tristan said riding up to us.
"Wait. I'll go with you," Faccacia said standing up.
I looked at both of them. I could have sworn Tristan was happy with Faccacia going with him.
"Come along than," Tristan said.
"Alright," replied Faccacia.
Both of them rode their horses into the woods and the rest of us saw them for awhile until they disappeared from our sight.
