Chapter 19- Death Part II
(Promise no one will kill me after this chapter!)
BACK TO WHERE LANCELOT STOOD HEADING TOWARDS CRYNIC WHO HELD A CROSSBOW WITH NATALIE BEHIND CRYNIC.
Lancelot took a slow step forward while wiping his blood stained blades on his pants. He watched as Crynic turned towards Natalie. Not noticing that there was an arrow in the crossbow, Lancelot descended on Crynic and brought his blade to the saxons neck just as he pulled the wooden trigger on the crossbow.
Lancelot's short sword wept Crynic's head off of his shoulders. Lancelot looked down at the crossbow; he was surprised that it didn't hit him. Lancelot looked up to see Natalie standing there with a smirk on her face. He noticed the arrow in her heart as she fell to her knees.
He ran over to her and bent down. He put his hand on her cheek. "Don't Natalie. I
need you. Tristan needs you. Who am I to speak with when lonely?" He whispered desperately. "Natalie...live for me. Your brother... the one who trusted you first." he repeated. Natalie moved her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Lancelot pulled her body against his, hugging her tightly against him. He pulled away as he felt her body go limp. He looked into her green eyes to find that they were empty. He shook her body and placed her in his arms. He stood up and made his way to where Arthur was with the other knights.

Arthur forced Cerdic to his knees. He lifted Excalibur above his head and brought it down upon Cerdic's neck just as Cerdic whispered, "Arthur..." Cerdic's body fell to the ground lifeless. The battle was over and woads were finishing off any Saxons that still remained alive.
Arthur made his way over to where Tristan layed on the ground, his breathing shallow. Emilee saw Arthur approaching and she held Tristan's head up. "Arthur, he needs serious attention. No normal healer can help him. I can get Merlin." She mentioned.
Arthur shook his head yes and Guinevere ran to where Merlin might be. Gawain and Galahad approached next, both looked exhausted and had minor wounds. Bors came up after them , he had a huge gash in his back, but he too would be fine. Gawain saw Lancelot heading towards them with a body on his back.
Galahad looked around and asked worried, "Where is Lauren?" Guinevere came up with Merlin behind her. "I sent her into the woods to take down some Saxons that headed for the caravan." answered Guinevere. Galahad nodded and turned back to where Lancelot was seen waling towards them.
Gawain looked around the group. "It is either Jols or Natalie on his shoulder." he told them all. Emilee jumped up leaving Tristan on the floor. Merlin bent down next to him, analyzing his injuries.
Lancelot approached the group and layed the body next to Tristan. Tristan looked at the body and let out a sigh. He touched Natalie's face and ran his fingers over her lips. His Natalie, was dead. He stared at her green eyes and saw a slight tint of happines, if that was even possible. He held her in his arms, while Merlin looked over him.
Merlin felt Tristan's heart and told him, "I can save you, but something inside of you wishes not." Tristan didn't look up at Merlin, but kept his gaze on Natalie. Only last night did they tell each other how they felt, and now it was all slipping away.
Tristan felt his heart beat become harder as the knights headed back to the wall. Lancelot stayed there with Merlin and Guinevere, looking over the two. Lancelot sat next to Tristan and Tristan looked at him. Tristan handed Lancelot his sword and he knew what to do. When a brother in arms is in pain, that will never heal, help him end it all.
Lancelot called for Arthur, who was slowly walking away. Arthur came back and Lancelot told him what Tristan wanted. Arthur raised Tristan's sword above his head and embedded it in Tristan's heart.
Lancelot and Arthur grabbed the bodies carefully and carried them back to the wall...

Since Natalie was killed by Crynic, and Tristan was mortally wounded, Arthur should give him a quick death. But this is not the end. I have maybe two or three chapters left. Tell me what you think of it.
Reviews-
Raingingfire7- This is not the end, but my to main characters that I love are dead. I might write a sequel about Selene and Gawain, with Galahad and some Lauren, on their trip to Sarmatia and back. Thank you!
