Disclaimer: I'm sure you know that I don't own any of hte KIng Arthur related stuff, I wish I owned the knights, then I wouldn't have to write stories about them!
Rated R for violence, graphic themes, violence, sexuality, language, etc...
This is just a little prologue type chapter to set the scene
The moon hangs ominous over head in a starless dark as a village lies in turmoil. A savage group of warriors has attacked the small defenseless village and plans to leave no survivors. Screams echo throughout the village as people run in terror desperately trying to escape. Fire spreads quickly through the village of small huts destroying everything and everyone in its path. Horrifying screams intensify from inside the fiery huts.
A girl runs furiously through the streets desperately calling out for her family. She stops dead in her tracks as she reachers her home, screaming in horror. The small hut is ablaze and the girl can hear the awful screams of agony coming form her mother and sisters trapped inside. She is frozen with guilt as she screams out and bursts into tears. One of the attckers spots her as a survivor and heads straight for her to kill her. She sees him and fearlessly runs towards him attacking him with all her young might, kicking and hitting as tears stream down her face. Suddenly, it all goes black as the attacker hits her bluntly inthe head with the butt of a knife and she falls to the ground.
I wake up in darkness as always with the heat of my burning home still on may face and the shrieks of my dying family still ringing in my ears. I get up as usual unable to escape the dream that haunts me very night, as it has for years. Even the solace of my new family is not enough comfort. I rise without disturbing anyone to practice with my weapons. It is useless to wake my brother or any of my friends as no one can help me escape the horrors of my past.
So, I know it is very short, but I promise Ch. 2 is coming soon and it will detail how the knights come to be involved, who the main character is, etc...Please review with any suggestions!
FYI: I can't think of agood name for the main character so any help is welcome!
