Galahad tip toed into Angharad room, quitely, he walked over to the crib beside Angharad's bed. He looked inside and saw the little baby boy, who was starting to fuss. It was early in the moring, two hours before the sun would raise, on eve of Angharad eighteenth birthday, as well as Galahad and Angharad's wedding. Galahad walked over to her bed and leaned towards his sleeping beauty and kissed her. She woke up slowly, streching her arms over her head. Then she smiled at her lover "What are doing?" Galahad smiled "I want to show you something, get ready. Wear your riding clothes" Angharad sat up, then motioned to the crib. Galahad picked up the boy and handed him to his mother. Angharad, then, feed her son and burpped and handed him back to Galahad. She got out of bed and walk over to her closet and got dressed.
Galahad laid him back in his crib, then traped on the baby carrier on his chest. He laid a blanket on the bed and picked the baby up and wraped him in a bundle and slid him into the carrier. By the time, he was done, Angharad was ready to go, her black hair was down up in a braid and she wore trossers. Galahad looked up at her tired face.
The three quitely tip toed out of the room and down the hall and outside, where Angharad was suprised to see to horse already saddled and ready to go. Galahad helped Angharad on to her horse, then carefully got on to his. The rode slowly, so no one could hear them, till the were out of the village.
"Galahad, were are we going?" Angharad asked after ten minutes of riding. Galahad looked at her and smiled "It's a suprise." Angharad sighed.
After an hour and half of riding through a trail in the trees and in the dark. They finally reached their destination. Angharad jaw dropped at the sight. It was a cliff over the ocean. Angharad jump off her horse tide him to a near by tree then went and stood over by the edge and looked down.
Galahad got off his horse, and gave the babe to Angharad, who was in a daze. Then took off to bag that were on his horse. In one of the bag there was two blankets and pillow. In the other was two loafs of bread, some cheese, grapes, to goblet's and a skin full of wine. He spread one of the blankets on the ground. Angharad turned around and looked at Galahad with a big grin on her face. "Breakfast is served." said Galahad with a bigger grin then his love. Angharad sat down beside Galahad and laid her head on his shoulder. Galahad feed her a couple of grapes and they sat there in silence and watched the sun rise.
Angharad had fallen asleep on his shoulder, so he garbed the baby from her arm and laid her on the oillow and put the free blanket over her. He laid the boy on his fore legs and started and tickle the boy. "Hey, Roparzh. Whatcha doing? Whatcha doing?" he said in a silly voice, the boy smiled. Even though the child was not his, Galahad couldn't be happier to be apart of his life.
Back at the village, there were people getting ready for the celebration. Vanora, was prepareing food with some other women. Guinevere was busy getting everything organized. Bors was watching his children and Gawain was helping. Arthur, was wondering when Galahad and Angharad were going to wake up. So he went to check on his sister. He knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so he went in. She wasn't in bed and his nephew wasn't in his crib. He searched the room, but she was no where to be found. He quickly ran to Galahad's room to see if she was with him. But no sign of them, all three were gone.
Arthur ran down to where his wife was, people bowing as he ran by. "Guinevere!" he yelled as he entered the hall. Guinevere turned around and smiled "Yes, dear." Arthur had a worried look on his face "Have you seen Galahad and Angharad today." Guinevere shook her head "No, Their probably still in bed." Arthur shook his head no. Guinevere was now as worried as Arthur "I haven't seen them, where could they be?" Arthur shook his head then rubbed his temples with his hands.
Angharad woke up and watched as Galahad was playing with he son. She touched Galahad's back, he looked back at her "Good morning, sleeping beauty!" Angharad smiled and looked at the sky. Then she sat up quickly "Galahad!" she said with a worried tone "I didn't realize that it almost noon, we have to get back. Arthur is going to go crazy. just like when we went for a walk for ten minute's. I probably going out of his mind." Galahad put his arm around her "Don't worry, I left a note explaining where we are." Angharad sighed in relief. "Well, we should go back and help them prepare." Galahad siged. "Alright"
The three got back to the village and one of the children yelled "King Arthur, I Found Them!" Angharad and Galahad exchanged glaces of confussion and Got off their horses. Arthur came running towards them, his face was red with anger. "Where have you two, been." he said take his nephew and handing him to Guinevere, who was behind him, "Take him away, I don't want him to hear me yell." he said to his wife and she nodded her head a left. Galahad look at Angharad scared of of his mind. "Funny thing, I went to both of your room's. But you where nowhere to be found. We searched to whole village, and no Angharad and Galahad. So I just want a straight answer. Where Have you two Been?" Arthur yelled. The other villages stopped what they were doing and stared at the mad King.
Angharad looked at Galahad with a stern look "I thought you left a note." Galahad nodded "I did" Arthur said more calmly, but he was still angery "What note?" Galahad looked at his king and friend "The one I left on my table stand...oh no" Galahad put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the note. "It in my pocket." He said with a weak grin. Arthur crossed his arms across his chest. "Galahad took me to see the sunrise about an hour and half ride east of here." Arthur anger had left him and sighed. "Oh Galahad, you were always the Romantic one. But next time remember to leave the note. Or tell me the nigth before." Galahad was relived, the only time he had even seen Arthur this mad was when, he was Fifteen, when Gawain and himself hid Arthur's sword on him.
"Well, now that's all cleared up. Let's get ready for tomorrow." Said Arthur with a half smiled on his face, he was still alittle shook up about not knowing were his sister was.
