Chapter 2
England Needs You Will
When Will came to he found himself inside a small dark dudgeon. It was a small dark room made out of green stone covered in slime. The ceiling was dome shaped and standing up Will's head almost touched the top of the ceiling. Two torches hung on either side of a wooden door the only way out of here. There were no windows but there were a few black bars in the form of a window on the door that you could see into the hallway beyond.
Will slowly got to his feet and walked to the door. He didn't expect it to work but he tried and failed to open the door. "Wat's already tried that Will they locked us in." Kate said. Will looked down Kate was sitting on the cold hard ground next to Roland who was next to Geoffrey who was next to Wat who was curled up nursing his hand which was red all over in a corner. "What did he do?" Will asked in a resigned voice. "He tried to break down the door when it wouldn't open. It would have work except its metal painted to look like wood." Geoffrey explained. Will rolled his eyes and slumped down on the floor across from Kate. The only space left to sit in the whole place.
Two days later Captian Darser opened up the cell. He really didn't want to be in France when England found out they had one of their favorite Knights in a prison cell for some time. "Follow me." "Who sent you here and why do you want my master?" Watt asked giving Darser a punch in the face. Roland laughed but held him back so they wouldn't tie Watt's hands together again. "I believe you shall find out those answers shortly from my master." Darser told him warily. "Who is?" "Lord Edward Hellslinger." "And who is this Lord? I only recognize those from England." "He was from England my dear William." "What's he in France for then?" Watt demanded. "Traitor." Kate muttered. "Wait till you hear his tale." Darser advised leading them down a narrow passage way and to a small wooden door three hallways away from the prison cell.
Darser knocked on this wooden door three times. "Enter." A voice said. They entered a large room with a large wooden table with seats all around. Edward was a small round face man with a silver beard. "Are you a soothsayer?" Will asked scornfully. "Do not the ancient craft of witchcraft those who do not understand the power or cannot use it themselves fear it." Edward sighed. "Darser you may leave but till Yohanna the guest are hungry and need to be served." "He's going to poison us." Geoffrey muttered. "Why would I poison you? I need you alive. In fact England needs you." "Oh brother cut the Drama and tell us why you've kidnapped us." Kate snapped. "Very well then please sit down." Edward said. They did so as Darser bowed out of the room. Roland untied Watt's bands.
"Twenty years ago I was a respected Soothsayer or Wizard of the King both are very different from each other but unless you're in the practice you don't know or unless you follow it. The Black Prince was not King then but his father was. He is King now. I told him a favorite Knight Count Adhamar would go into the future times and take over the modern world before we get to it and come back to conquer England save a Knight with pure heart go." Edward paused looking at Will. "Go on with you're story then before I decide to kill you instead of banish you." Watt growled. Kate bit her lip to keep from laughing. "And yes I was banished to France. A sad and sorry fate. I kept my eye on Adhamar and he has gone into the future to conquer the lands. This is where you come in Will. You are a Knight whose heart is still virtuous." "Can I quote you on that for when I write this story?" Geoffrey asked as Yohanna and several other servant girls came in. Edward glared at Geoffrey who shut up but glared right back. "As I was saying. I need to send you into the future. If you can defeat the armies there that Adhamar has built gangs they call them I believe he cannot bring them and their modern technology to defeat England's King which is his plot. What do you say to that William Thatcher? England needs you know more then ever." "What century are we talking about here?" Will asked. "I will send you into the millennium the year they call 2000 beginnings. Will you help me Will?" Edward asked. "I say absolutely not if he's going to imprison us without talking to us like a normal human being." Watt declared. "Since when have you ever been normal?" Kate asked picking up some fruit off her plate and eating it warily. "I say why not it's an adventure you're lady will be safe here." Geoffrey said. "You just are lacking in writing and need something new." "Indeed I shall be the first to write about this time travel business. And shall sell millions of copies." Geoffrey said taking a bow. "Will you do it?" Edward asked. "Yes." Will said sighing hopefully Jocelyn would wait for him. "Good. Finish eating you're supper and then we shall see about provisions." Edward said sending Yohanna and the other servants out of the room after they had given everyone a dish of French food.
