Dawn. The perfect time to prepare an attack. With Roman forces moving rapidly in there direction it was about time to strike. Artemis wasn't intent on a massacre, but if these people had to fight and a few Romans died would that sacrifice really be worth it? Would blood bring about independence? It was a thought the blonde was trying to get her head around, seated once more by the water she waited for the others to awake. What would Lancelot have done? It was one of the most prominent thoughts in her mind. Would he risk open war just to prove a point? Of course he would. It wasn't the best example to have chosen, she knew that. Sighing she rested her head against one of the fence posts.
"She has a plan Arthur, would you trust her as you trusted Lancelot?"
"I don't know her Guinevere, I can't place these peoples lives in the hands of some reckless girl"
"She's not reckless Arthur, she's like Lancelot."
"Tristan you know if I could trust her I would, but these people do not deserve to die because she can't cope with her brother's death."
"She can cope Arthur, that's why she's here."
"Fighting a cause that will end up getting her killed"
"You once served Rome, you're here now, you know how their minds work."
"Fine...but if the need arises there can be no hesitation in striking her down"
Conversation. Not a good one at that. It could be heard from a good 5meters away. Artemis heard it all. She was going to prove she was better than her brother and prove that she wasn't going lead them to be slaughtered. Arthur may have had a point. Grief may have been fueling her determination, but if it meant these people didn't have to answer to Rome it was worth it. Well it seemed right at the time, the battle however made her see much more clearly.........
