REVIEW
"Nothing too important." Said Nicole.
"We hope." Whispered Kama.
Tristian and Dag left the girls at their room, the girls cleaned up and changed into spare clothing they had. (Dresses) They went to the dinning room were Arthur was waiting for them.
----
"Thank you for coming." Said Arthur.
"No big deal." Said Kama as she and Nicole sat down.
"I would like to star5t by properly thanking you for the assistance you provided in defeating the Saxons."
"It was an honor to fight with the legendary knights." Said Nicole.
Arthur laughed, "I hardly think we are legendary."
"Where we are from you are heroes, and your men." Said Kama.
"And where is that?" asked Arthur.
"Not something we can tell you." Said Allyson.
"Why is that?" asked Arthur.
"If we told you who we are and what we know then it could make a lot of bad stuff happen for a lot of good people." Said Kama.
"How am I able to know if I can trust you?" he asked. "You don't." stated Nicole.
"We know all about you and you are a good person, and we are good people so trust that." Said Kama.
"What we can tell you is we are here to help in any way possible." Said Nicole.
"What do you know?" asked Arthur.
The two friends looked at each other uncomfortably, "What do you want us to prove?" asked Kama.
"That you know so much about me." Said Arthur.
"Alright," said Kama with a deep breath, "Nicole why don't you? You are better at this then me."
Nicole rolled her eyes and started, "Your mother was a weld and your father a Roman officer which explain your loyalties to Rome and a feeling of wonder for this land, also a reason you believe in God. Ah, your mother died in a burning building when you were a child you ran to your father's grave and tried to pull out the sword. When it did not move you cried out 'Father let loose your sword' But by the time you got to the house it was too late and you fell to your knees crying, holding the sword that you now wear in your belt."
"H..how do you know that?" asked Arthur in a broken voice.
"We can't say. Sorry." Said Kama.
"Well I am sure you have other plans to spend your afternoon rather than prove yourself to me." Said Arthur with misty eyes.
Nicole felt for Arthur and looked at Kama with a puppy face. "No." whispered Kama.
"Fine," sighed Nicole, "She loved you." Arthur looked up and Kama slapped her forehead, "Those were her last words that she loved you." Said Nicole.
"Thank-you." whispered Arthur looking down.
"C'mon." said Kama pulling Nicole from the room.
"What were you thinking?" asked Kama in a loud, fierce whisper. "I don't know Arthur looked so upset I had to say something." Replied Nicole.
"What is wrong with Arthur?" asked Gwenivere.
"He's upset about his mother, well you know the story." Said Nicole.
Gwenivere looked at the door thinking, "I would like to show you two something tonight."
"Alright, you know where our room is?" asked Deidra.
"Yes."
"Ok well I guess we will meet you tonight." Said Kama.
Gwenivere nodded and walking into the room that Arthur was in. "Come on we might as well go and practice archery." Said Nicole.
"Do we have to?" asked Kama.
"No but if you'd like to have your ass handed to you on a silver platter by the Saxons then by all means don't practice." Said Nicole.
"Butthead." Grumbled Kama.
"Love you to." Said Nicole looking for a servant.
"Can I help you?" asked a man.
"Hello Jols. Yes we'd like to practice our archery, and we don't have the proper equipment."
"Ah speak no further, I'll take you to the armory." Said Jols.
"Thanks." Said Nicole. They followed Jols and he took them to a large walking closet at the back of the house.
The girls both picked out a long bow and a quiver of arrows, "Thanks again." Said Kama.
"No worries." Said Jols with a smile. Nicole and Kama went back to the field with the new weapons.
"What do we use for a target?" asked Kama.
"Well how about," started Nicole looking around, "some of that wood?"
"And practice shooting at the Saxon's knee caps?" asked Kama doubtfully.
"We'd stand it up vertically and it's better then nothing." Said Nicole walking to the pile.
Nicole grabbed a piece of wood and stood it vertical, "That's sort of like a man."
"If it's a four foot circus midget." Said Kama.
"Shut up if you are going to act like a cat tossed in a dryer then go away." Said Nicole loading her now and turning to her target. Nicole fired and it would have hit a man in a very sensitive area, and Kama said, "That's just wrong."
"Well it'd slow him down wouldn't it?" asked Nicole loading her bow again.
"Possibly or just piss him off to no end." Said Kama grabbing an arrow. The two girls shot and they would have pierce a man's shoulders.
"Not to offend you ladies but you have no aim." Said Tristian.
Nicole and Kama turned to see Dag and Tristian standing there watching them. Nicole aimed and shot the arrow stuck in the ground a hairs' breath from Tristian's foot.
"I take that back you have beautiful aim."
"What do you mean?" asked Nicole turning back to the target. Then she turned her head slightly with a mischievous grin said, "I missed." Tristian stood there a moment then waked next to Nicole.
"Keep your left arm straight when you draw back." Said Tristian. Nicole did as she was told and then release hitting the 'man' in the chest.
"See much steadier shot." Said Tristian.
"But I found Nicole's first shot so much funnier." Said Kama.
Nicole laughed, "Damned knows they deserve it."
"As amusing as you may find it that won't kill a man." Said Dag standing next to Kama.
Kama loaded her bow and shot hitting the nasal area, "That'd kill them."
"So what do you guys want?" asked Nicole grabbing two arrows.
"We could ask you two the same." Said Dag.
"You could but you haven't, not that you'd get one if you did." Said Kama. Nicole fired and both arrows landed in the gut region.
"Show off." Said Kama rolling her eyes.
"Oh well you'll get over it." Said Nicole.
They continued to fire arrows into their make shift enemy, "Well Kama I think we got him.' Said Nicole staring at he penetrated wood.
"I do think we are fair shots my dear friend." Smiled Kama.
"Why do you practice like this?" asked Tristian.
"Don't worry about it." Said Nicole. Kama walked to the arrow-infested wood and started pulling arrows out. The girls pulled out all the arrows and began all over again. The two men just shook their heads and left them alone. As the afternoon progressed their shots improved but as the hours creep away the shots grew sloppy again.
"I quit for the night." Said Nicole in a tired voice. "Me to but we might want to do have some dinner though." Said Kama. "Yea dinner sounds good right now." Said Nicole walking back to the house.
- Diner went well nothing crazy happened Kama is lying down and Nicole
is pacing around the room waiting for Gwenivere to show up. -
"Nicole stop pacing or change directions, you are starting to make me nervous." Said Kama.
"Sorry." Said Nicole turning.
There was a knock on the door and Nicole answered it first, it was Gwenivere in a cloak. "Are you ready?'' she asked.
Nicole nodded while Kama nodded and with a grin said, "Ready and waiting."
"Good follow me."
They followed Gwenivere out of the town, "Where exactly are you taking us?" asked Nicole.
"You'll see." Was all Gwenivere said.
"Can't get more cryptic thin that." Muttered Nicole.
"Actually you can." Said Kama.
"And you think I'm the smart mouth." Said Nicole grumbling.
Gwenivere led them into the woods and they had gotten to a clearing when they heard voices on the wind. Nicole walked closer to Kama and whispered, "We are surrounded."
"By who?"
"Who the hell do you think?" asked Nicole in and angry whisper.
"Chill ok. They won't hurt us since we are with Gwenivere." Replied Kama.
Moments later several weld warriors surrounded the three women and Gwenivere stood to the side as a man passed through the circle.
Nicole looked at the man and started jumping up and down exclaiming, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Kama look who that is! Oh my gosh!"
"Geeze Nicole calm down before you wet yourself." Said Kama looking at her friend as if she were crazy.
Nicole stopped jumping but continued excitedly, "But Kama look at him do you know who that is? Oh my gosh!"
"Calm down Nicole it's just a man." Said Kama stepping away from her friend.
"But…but it's Merlin." Said Nicole in awe.
