Disclaimer: I do not own any part of King Arthur and do not claim to. So don't sue me, because you wouldn't get much any way! I only own the characters I create, so….
Summary After an incident involving the Church of Rome, a Sarmatian knight by the name of Marsile is ordered to escort Bishop Germanus to Hadrian's Wall in Britain, the fort of the legendary Knights of Arthur. Once there, the manipulations of the church are revealed, in more ways than one…

Some of you may notice that the timeline for my story is different than the one in the movie. The reason for this is: 1) It works with the story (duh) and 2) I added three years to the timeline, because it seemed unreasonable that the Roman Empire would take these boys under the age of fifteen and immediately begin their service. It would take time for the boys to be trained, because, after all, the Romans would want to get the most out of their service. So while the knights before Arthur, Lancelot, Tristan, and all of our other favorites, were finishing up the last 3 of their 15 years, the others were going through weapons training and such…
…I hope that makes sense to all ya'll ;-)
To those who read the story when the first ten chapters were originally posted, I apologize for this delay and confusion. Being the busy girl I am, I rarely had time to write and update, and as a result, lost focus on the story and got a serious case of writer's block. In my mind, the best way to pick up where I left off was to go back and rewrite the old chapters, adding things in that had come to me later, or fixing things I hadn't noticed before, thereby refocusing and making the story better (not to mention longer!).
So I apologize again and thank you in advance for giving the story another chance!
