An: The next update may be awhile because I have written a section that needs more explination so I have to write a few parts in between first. Hopefully it will be soon though. Thanks to all the readers.

Breaking

"So how did you come up with his name?" They were walking along the lake behind the wall, calmly talking. It was a big difference from earlier in the day when they had been shouting at each other. It was quite a change from the usual women he associated with. Guinevere usually argued with him with an odd calmness, Vanora usually just slapped him and walked away and the other women just smiled and ignored him. Elaine raged back and gave him as well as he gave himself.

"My father chose it. You see, when I was born there was this women in our village who claimed she could see my future. I was supposed to have a son who would become the greatest knight and he would be able to use the shield that covers our ancient father's grave. He was also supposed to be related to someone who was supposed to be able to defeat the lions that guard the first Corbenic ruler, Galahad." Elaine shook her head. "I never believed it, but I humored him."

"So I'm supposed to defeat lions." Elaine rolled her eyes.

"Apparently. The legend goes that a Knight would come and defeat the two lions that guarded Galahad's grave. Once he did that he would meet a grail maiden of the house of Corbenic and 'beget' a lion that would become the greatest knight." She paused and looked at him. "Don't let it go to your head."

"No, of course not, my lady." Elaine's eyes narrowed at his sarcastic tone but she did not reply.

"I suppose you will want Gally to stay here with you."

"I would prefer that, yes. I don't care what you think of me, Elaine, but I want to be involved with my son." He walked to stand in front of her. "Regardless of how I feel about his mother." Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"And how is that, Sir Lancelot." He could feel the bridges they had built since that morning starting to break. "Let me guess, you are still under the delusion that I tricked you into my bed in some strange way of getting back at Guinevere for marrying Arthur. I hate to break it to you, but you're not the end-all in the universe. We are both to blame for that night, and I hold no regret or shame about it. At least I called you by your own name." With that she left him standing beside the water with his thoughts.

Lancelot swore to himself. That was not what he intended to happen, and her response was surprising to him as well. He knew that she had been angry at him for claiming she was using him to get to Arthur and frankly after he had rode for a day afterwards he had come to that conclusion too. He respected Elaine for the fiery way she went into everything, and he realized now she didn't realize that fact.

The bridges had crumbled into dust.

Review Responses:

Babaksmiles: I'm glad you like this story. It's usually updated daily.

Evenstar-mor2004 Well, this gives you a hint at his reaction. One day perhaps I shall write a direct segment with his reaction. Thanks:)

Cardeia: Ah, well technically his version of them was general ownership too. Just have to refrain from having them exactly the same or with the same events. It would be interesting to see where you would go with it. You should at least write it:) As for Lancelot's reaction, it is going to take a couple a fights and other things before they both figure it out and get things together. It's fun to write this:)
