Ok so now things will actually start to get a plot going!! Wahoo score for me... this is by far the most committed I've ever been to any story of mine... I don't have the attention span.
Galahad and Arthur sat at the round table, contemplating whether the anniversary ball for King Arthur and Queen Guinevere should be themed or not. They finally decided on a masked ball set for in four fortnights, leaving time for preparations and invitations. The Royal Scholar sat at a small, rectangular table to the side, and was preparing the list of invitees; the many lords, friends, knights, and other important people who if not invited would show up anyways but with instead of gifts, they would bring swords.
"It will be quite pleasant to see all of my knights together again. How empty this table always seems with just my local knights around. I greatly wish that there never was a need to send any of them away. Dragons in the South, Pirates in the East, its quite a wonder that you and I can stay here without going bored out of our minds." Mused Arthur.
"Yes well you do get quite bored of socializing after some time. I wish to be with some of the other lords, when you hear about their adventures and trials, it of course reminds me of the old times." Responded Galahad.
At this Arthur frowned, "The old times were horrible good knight. One could never wish for that again. It was all wrong, now we are free."
"Are we really free? We cannot do what we really want, which is to ride away and find adventure; you for you are king, and I, for you are my king. I recon Tristan must be quite free, we have not heard from him for the longest time. Such a pity, he had wonderful prose."
"Ha ha. Yes he did. We certainly must have him come to this ball. Oddly, none of the messengers sent to him, never returned, as I would guess is his way of 'graciously' declining my invitations. I know what! You must ride to the north, and must bid him to meet with me, even if he will not attend my ball. Alas, another quest and another empty seat, but you should leave to' morrow at dawn, I still have other knights whom I can converse with."
"My king, I shall do as you wish." Complied Galahad with a quick bow before exiting the chamber.
