The group rode their horses to the Village that was being pillaged. It seemed as if the whole thing had gone up

into smoke. Ebony looked at it with a cold dead stair as the memories of what had happened to her village came

back to her. The Woads quickly turned there attention to the coming knights. Tristan pulled out his bow and

quickly took out three of the blue demons. Quickly fallowing in his lead Ebony took out two more. This enrages

the blue warriors causing them to charge the 7 knights and one girl. Every one quickly pulled out their weapons.

Tristan and Ebony were able to take out another 10 warriors just with their bows.

Lancelot had jumped off his horse as soon as the two had taken down another 10 warriors. He had always

preferred ground hand to hand combat. A warrior came charging at him and with a quick thrust of his twin swords

he was able to take them out. A snap was heard and knowing it wasn't a fellow knight he quickly thrust his sword

into the enemy behind him. The enemy gave a small cry but quickly died. Two more woads came charging

Lancelot which was more of a challenge then one but he was still able to take them out. Like his sister he had the

images of his own village pass through his head and that had only angered him. He would let no devil live that was

willing to take the lives of those who couldn't defend themselves. Lancelot saw as one of the Woads try to sneak

up on a small child that had been hiding in the tree's. With out a second thought he sent his sword hurling into the

warriors back dropping him to the ground. He quickly ran to collect his sword but not without taking out another 2

woads.

All the other knights had also quickly taken out many woads. It seemed that even though they were greatly

outnumbered they were able to take out the Woads very quickly. There where still about 25 and these where the

most vicious.

Ebony regretted the spar with Galahad before this battle because her arm was throbbing. Out of the corner of her

eye she watched as a Woad tried to sneak up behind her and with a quick turn she thrust her sword into him. She

soon found her self fighting beside the ever loud Bors.

" How you doing gurlie?" he asked before quickly taking down a woad that was coming at them.

" Fine although it mite take me a year to get all the blood off" She said offering a small grin but not before taking

out a knight that was bout to shoot an arrow and Arthur.

The fight that had lasted an hour but by the time they were done all the Woads were dead. The ride back to the

camp was in silence. Lancelot refused to speak to Ebony so he road in the back of the line with Bor and Dagonet

leaving Ebony with the two youngest knights. They had all stayed silent until they were in the wall. Every one

being hungry they all handed their horses off to Jols and headed to the tavern. Before she could leave Lancelot

grabbed her arm and quickly pulled her out the back.

" What the hell do you think you were doing going with us like that!" He said in anger

" Fighting what did it look like I was doing dancing" She shot back

" Well its not your place you should have stayed in the fort" Lancelot said his voice getting louder

" What and be sewing a shirt for you or maybe bedding every one like your whores!" Ebony said now yelling

" Well you better not be like them but it is better for you then being out there you don't understand the life of a

warrior!" Lancelot yelled back

She took one step forward and slapped him hard. Lancelot let out a small gasp and raised his own

Hand.

" Do it Lancelot" She said defiantly raising her face so he had better access.

It took him a second to realize what he was doing. He would never hit a woman much less his own his own sister

who he loved more then any one. Lancelot quickly dropped his hand took a step back and also let go of his sister

that was when he noticed the bruises forming on her arm from were he grabbed her and it ripped him apart

knowing he did it.

" You forget brother I have seen as much as you if not more. I saw our village murdered , and ransacked

god I'm so numb I can't even cry for goddess sake. I have seen things that even bright nights as yourself should

fear." She screamed and stalked out of the room.
