Thanks for reviewing!
I love you all!
They rode out of the protective wall into Woad area. They rode fast and hard to get one fourth of the way their in the time of one day. It was a raining day on the 3rd day and they were riding fast when Tristan told Arthur, "Woads."
"Where?" Arthur asked looking around.
"Everywhere." Was the replied Arthur hoped he didn't get. Just the arrows started shooting out at them . When they rode a different way they would end up being trapped by vines.
"Well What are you waiting for?" Gawain yelled at them. But the horn went off. The woad looked at them again and about to shoot when the horn went off again. The woad looked disgusted and left.
"Insh." Dagoent yelled. "Devil Ghosts." They finally arrived at the place. The gates closed as they rode in front of it.
"Who goes their?" A solider asked. Asia looked at Tristan with a smirk. His face remained blank.
"I am Arthur Castus. Commander of the Sarmatian Knights, sent by Bishop Germanius of Rome." Arthur replied to the mercenary. "Open the gate."
The gate was opened a few moments later to reveal a short, fat man in ornate robes and flanked by three mercenaries. He looked like someone Asia knew.
"It is a wonder you have come." The man said as he walked through. "Good Jesus. Arthur and his Knights." He attempted to pat Galahad's horse but the young knight pulled his horse back. "You have fought the Woads. Vile creatures."
Asia made a face and thought At least they aren't fat like you.
"Our orders are to evacuate you immediately." Arthur got straight to the point, not even bothering with pleasantries.
"But that…that is impossible." The fat man stammered.
"Which is Alecto?" Arthur started to search the faces of the villagers.
"I am Alecto." The boy on the wall was sickly skinny and pale, much like the woman next to him whom Asia took to be his mother.
"Alecto is my son." The fat man stated the obvious.
"No really? I had no clue." Asia muttered to Gawain wryly. The knight sniggered lightly and earned a slight glare from a mercenary. "OOOO Tristan has a few men to kill I think ." Gawain whispered back when that mercenary openly checked Asia out. This earned Gawain a punch on the arm from Asia and a threat with her dull knife.
"More like checking you out." She muttered back as Arthur and Fat Man yammered on about some stuff Asia didn't care about.
"Ooh he shouldn't do that." Asia shook her head grinning. "I'd have Tristan, Arthur and Vanora. They should be scared of her the most."
Gawain chuckled. They tuned back in just in time for Fat Man to refuse to leave. Asia nudged Gawain and moved her horse closer so that she was next to Arthur and Galahad.
"Go back to work! All of you!" Fat Man yelled at the villagers and his mercenaries pushed them all back to work. As the bullying continued Arthur dismounted and strode up to Fat Man. Asia grabbed the horses' reins.
"If I fail to bring you and your son back, my men can never leave this land." Arthur informed Fat Man. "SO you're coming with me, if I have to tie you to my horse and drag you to Hadriens Wall myself. My lord." The family seemed affronted at this. "Lady my knights are hungry." He added to pale Lady. She sent a questioning glance at her husband who nodded and headed to the house, closely followed by Alecto. Fat Man was about to follow when he turned around and spoke.
"Does your maid want to help?" They all instantly knew he meant Asia.
"You son of…" Asia began before Bors put his hand over her mouth. Asia licked it.
"Ewwwwww! She licked it!" Bors squealed like a girl. Everyone sniggered.
"She a warrior. Tristan…" Arthur said and Tristan was gone.
"A woman warrior?" The fat man asked also openly checking her out.
"Don't you have a wife to check on?" Asia asked him. HE quickly left to the house. Asia was drawn to a hut.
"What's in their?" Asia asked a monk. Tristan had come back and was talking to Arthur. Tristan glanced at Asia and came over with Arthur following him.
"Its a holy place! No can enter." A monk yelled at Asia.
"What is this?" Arthur addressed the men walling it up after Asia was a failed attempt.
"You cannot go in there. No one goes in there. This place is forbidden!" The man said and Arthur moved them aside with Excalibur.
"What are you doing? Stop this!" Came the shouts of Fat Man, who name may be Marius. The Roman came striding over to stop Arthur but was blocked by Bors. After contemplating the wall, and ignoring the knights warnings Arthur called Dagonet to pull it down. He did and then kicked in the door. Arthur grabbed a torch and went in, followed by Lancelot, then Asia, a priest, and then Gawain. As they descended the spiral stair they heard chanting in Latin.
"Who are these defilers of the lord's temple?" A wretched man demanded coming out of the second chamber. The first was surrounded with corpses strung up by their wrists.
"Out of the way." Lancelot pushed the man aside and looked around the second chamber. The sight was horrific. Everywhere that they looked there were decayed or decaying bodies in all forms of torture positions and cages. "the work of your god." Lancelot addressed Arthur. "Is this how he answers your prayers?"
One of the monks spazzed as Lancelot hacked open a dead mans cell.
"How dare you set foot in this holy place?" He dragged Lancelot away from the cell. Devoid of all patience Lancelot stabbed the man. He fell to the floor dead.
"That was a man of God." Another monk admonished.
"Not my god!" Lancelot said.
"Look for survivors." Arthur told them. Arthur found a woad women. Dag had found a small boy. Asia was about to leave when she heard a small weak cough. Asia followed it to find a small girl about 5 years old on the verge of death. Asia opened the door with a quick swing of her sword. The girl shriveled back when Asia went to get her.
"Its okay baby. I'm here to help. Those nasty monks won't come back." Asia told her. The Little girl took her hand.
