Disclaimer…I don't own anyone from the movie! This is for my enjoyment! Also, all the Original Characters are MINE! Also, the knew names and titles are just one of a few that they will have depending on where and who they are with!

It was a cool dreary day that greeted Emogen and Lancelot as they grumbled and slowly pulled on their day clothes.

As they reached the Meeting Hall they saw, Arthur, Merlin, Cordelia, and Merkin already seated and eating breakfast.

As they sat down, Lancelot grunted out, "Why, why does it always have to be cloudy here? Just once, I'd like a day full of blue sky and sunlight! It'd definitely make me feel more awake for this blasted meeting Merkin INSISTED on having."

Merkin eyed him distastefully and grounded out, "We're here to make sure that your friend, ARTHUR, becomes King. If you are so tired, leave but remember this, if you do not help you cannot gain station."

Lancelot glared at the older man and said, "I will not leave. I just hate cloudy days. Plus, I'm not leaving because YOU want me to old man. I don't know what your angle is, but you'd better stop and work together with us. This silly old feud you have with Merlin is tiresome. By law, you and Merlin aren't even supposed to have the power that you do. I'm surprised that Emogen and Cordelia haven't stripped you of all your influence publicly yet."

The two men stared at him in shocked horror.

Arthur and Lancelot shared a smirk and the cousins giggled slightly as Arthur added, "Yes, Lord Connor told us a nice story about the government and how you got your so-called power. In any case, I already have sixty percent of the councils support. This meeting really wasn't necessary. If that was all?"

The four younger people were standing up to leave when Merlin jumped to his feet and said, "We need to have a list of positions and titles ready for tomorrow. This will be a delicate balance of Sarmatians and Britons as you know."

The four sighed. Just once! Just once! I'd like to have a full day of nothing but relaxation and freedom. Is that too hard to ask? All four asked to the gods at the same time.

"Very well." Conceded Arthur as Emogen and Lancelot pulled parchment, quill pens, and ink wells to them.

Merkin nodded and said, "Right then, the role of King belongs to Artorius Castus-renamed King Arthur Pendragon of the Briton Isles."

Arthur grimaced slightly at that, but he knew it was important to remove himself from his Roman background. The people of the Briton Isles may admire him for his military leadership and success in battle, but they would not accept him if he had ties to his roman father.

Merkin added, "The role of Queen belongs to Cordelia Verdi-renamed Queen Cordelia Dragonheart of the Briton Isles."

Arthur and Lancelot raised their eyebrows at that. Cordelia had a roman surname?

At their curious looks, the raven hared blue-eyed woman sighed and said, "It's just like Briton itself-Briton with a Roman father, or in my case, a Roman grandfather on my mother's side."

Lancelot looked to his lover and saw her nod her head in agreement.

Merkin cleared his throat and said heatedly, "Yes well, that couldn't be helped. Cerwen was kidnapped and violated by the roman bastard, but he gave us three beautiful strong leaders: Aidia, Kornelia, and Etain. Now, the Knight Commander and King Protectorate should be a Woad and I nominate…"

"Hold! The title of Knight Commander and King Protectorate should be someone that the King, ARTHUR, trusts with his life. This honor should go to a Knight." Interrupted Cordelia with a large scowl directed at her father.

Merkin shook his head viciously and said, "No! Our people need to have high position in our new kingdom or it will crumble in a matter of years!"

Emogen had, had enough! Merkin was just too stubborn for his own good.

She jumped to her feet and said loudly but deadly, "If you cannot meet us halfway UNCLE, then you will be removed from these talks like Guinevere was, understand?"

Merkin was about to retort when Tristran made his appearance startling the old man because he did not realize that Tristran was there in the room. Arthur, Lancelot, Emogen, and Cordelia smiled at the scout. He nodded at them and glared at his future queen's father. Merkin gulped and nodded in agreement.

Emogen sighed and said as she pinched her nose, "Now, our people will have titles and standings in our new kingdom uncle, you have to trust us to make the right choices though. You, Uncle Merlin, and father are no longer as influential as you once were now that I am back and Cordelia is supporting my ideas. Remember, whilst you have command of half the people, our half have the most prestige."

Cordelia stood, moved to her cousin's right side, placed her hand on Emogen's shoulder, nodded seriously, and said, "She is right. Also, now that Guinevere's been escorted off this land with what few truly loyal Picts she had, her forces have long since joined either my people or Emogen's. Your power is weakening and it's time for you to acknowledge this. If we keep fighting, we'll never get anything established and all our hard work to free Briton will be for naught."

Emogen ended, "So, what will it be?"

Merlin, Merkin, and Duncan, who had entered just before the talking began, nodded and Duncan said, "You are right daughter, it pains me to admit it, but our power has been weakening. Actually, it's been weakening since you three came of age. We, I, just didn't want to give up all the power."

The two nodded and returned to their seats.

Duncan cleared his throat and said, "Then, Arthur, who will become your Knight Commander and King Protectorate?"

Arthur cocked an eyebrow at Lancelot. The curly hared Knight shrugged and smiled slightly.

"Lancelot shall become my Second-n-Command and General of the Main Army as the Knight Commander's title of power alludes too. Plus, he will become my heir should I die before a boy is put on the thrown or he will rule until my son is of age."

Merlin looked to the double sword carrier and asked, "Do you agree to this?"

Lancelot looked up from his writing and said, "Arthur is my best friend, if, IF this scenario come to pass, I will take the power with honor, but it is my duty as his second to make sure that it never happens. Chances are, I will die first out of the two of us since it would be my duty to protect him and watch his back."

Duncan raised and eyebrow and asked snarkly, "You would give up your life so easily for his?"

Lancelot glared at his future father-n-law and said passionately, "Arthur is my best friend! Nay, he's my brother! I have bled with him, cried with him, and killed with him! I have watched his back for fifteen years and not once have I failed in my duty. I did it not because Rome commanded me too. I did it because, even from the beginning, he earned my trust and respect. He still has it and I'll happily give my life for his. Arthur is a great man. This world would lose a terrible soul upon his passing. If me dieing to save his own is the price to pay to make sure that some from of goodness and justice lives on this planet, so be it! I'll do it happily and with honor. Does that answer your question, Lord Duncan?"

The group of people gathered in the Hall stared at him in awe. Arthur's eye glittered with unshed tears as he stared at his friend. Lancelot lowered his eyes to the table and smiled sheepishly. He knew he was blushing as well. Tristran, from his place in the shadows, nodded and said, "Lancelot's position is clear. We'd find no one better to become King Protectorate."

Merkin, Merlin, and even Duncan had to agree to that. Emogen smiled proudly at her lover and added his name to the list. Lancelot's title earned him the third most powerful rank in their new kingdom, but she knew Lancelot would not abuse his new power. Despite what he said otherwise about himself, she knew her love was a good, respectful, honorable man.

Merkin stated, "The role of Knight Commander and King Protectorate belongs to Sir Lancelot du Lac of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Lancelot Shieldguard of the Briton Isles.

Cordelia added with a twinkle in her eyes and a small grin on her face, "Well, if we are to have a Knight Commander, we will need an equal balance to his power: Lady Ambassador of Peace and since Emogen has had ample experience in the ways of peaceful negotiations, I nominate her as Lady Ambassador of Peace."

Arthur nodded and said, "I agree. She would do well in this position. Plus, it will keep both Emogen and Cordelia in high positions of power like now, so we won't lose any support when the government shifts. It'll just be that our future goals will change."

The three men agreed to that.

Merlin stated, "The role of Lady Ambassador belongs to Lady Emogen Verdi-renamed Lady Emogen Serenity of the Briton Isles."

Duncan asked, "So, we have King, Queen, Knight Commander, and Lady Ambassador. What is next?"

The group silently pondered this when Tristran spoke up, "Arthur and Cordelia will need to have many eyes and ears out upon the land. In the event of another invasion, they'd need to know before hand to adequately protect the kingdom. For that, you'd need a spy or lookout group for that."

Lancelot grinned and said, "Or, perhaps, we'd need someone titled Head of Intelligence, say Sir Tristran of the Sarmatian Knights?"

Tristran nodded his head in agreement and looked at the elders. They nodded. It seemed silly, but all of them felt fear swell in their breasts when they stared at the scout in the eye.

Duncan stated, "The role of Commander of Intelligence belongs to Sir Tristran Sharpeye of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Tristran Sentinel of the Briton Isles."

Emogen was smiling happily as she wrote all the names and titles down. Things were finally starting to look up for her and her people. To make it even better, Lancelot and Tristran, the two Knights she was closest too, were staying here with her to help her, Cordelia, and Arthur rule this land.

"The next order of business will be the leaders of the Army that answer to Lord Lancelot." Stated Cordelia.

Arthur asked the Pict men, "Do you have any warriors that have the skill to lead and will follow what I and Lancelot say and not question every order we give them because they have grievances against us?"

Duncan shook his head. Merkin and Merlin opened their mouths to reply, but shut them again and echoed their brother-n-law.

Emogen bit her lip and said, "Well then, I guess Gawain, Seamus, and Dean can become the Masters of War."

Lancelot asked, "Who are Seamus and Dean?"

Cordelia replied, "Seamus is Emogen's second and travels with her wherever she goes. He's like her bodyguard and has been our friend for nearly fifteen years now. He's very loyal to Emogen and loves her like a sister. His favorite saying is 'If my Emmy like you, so do I'. We can trust him with this responsibility. Seamus is my second-n-command and follows my every order without question. He does know when to question my orders, but in private where others cannot see us and see the discord within ranks. He's private and skilled. He will not fail either myself or Gawain."

Merkin nodded and said, "I agree. So, the roles for the Masters of War belong to Sir Gawain Grey-wolf of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Gawain Axelord of the Briton Isles, Sir Seamus Encante of the Briton-rename Lord Seamus Swordking of the Briton Isles, and Sir Dean McCannon of Briton-renamed Lord Dean Arrowhead of the Briton Isles."

Arthur interrupted, "I just had a thought. Are we going to have money or a barter system? Just keep in mind that, occasionally, we WILL have to bring in imports from other countries."

Duncan sighed and said, "I think, if that's the case, we should have a monetary system."

Merlin added, "I agree. Besides, we are used to the Roman money system and not a barter system. It will not be to big of a change if we keep a money system."

Lancelot answered, "Then, who shall be the Head of Finance?"

Emogen looked up from her parchment and suggested, "What about Dagonet? I thought I heard him and Lady Fulucina talking about numbers and money yesterday. He seemed to know what he was talking about."

Merkin sighed and said, "It should be one of your Knights Arthur since we do not have someone that well versed in money and numbers."

Arthur nodded as Merlin said, "The title of Head of Finance belongs to Sir Dagonet Surefoot of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Dagonet Monies of the Briton Isles."

"Who will train the new soldiers? We will be recruiting, right." said Tristran.

Arthur looked to his scout and said, "Well, if my Lords do not object, I'd like to place Galahad in the position. He may not like killing, but he has an excellent way of transferring knowledge to others."

The three Pict Lords shook their heads. Even though they did have such a person, the Knights are the better soldiers as past battles have shown. To have one of the Knights teach their children how to become great warriors would be an honor.

"So, the title of Arms Master belongs to Sir Galahad of Greenhill-renamed Lord Galahad Weaponsguild of the Briton Isles."

Cordelia piped in, "Once again, if we are to have such titles as Arms Master, Head of Intelligence, and Masters of War, we will need equal powers of balance. So, I nominate Mistresses Ula, Alma, and Enys to become the Ladies of Medicine."

The entire group agreed to that choice whole-heartedly.

"So," stated Merlin, "the titles of Ladies of Medicine belong to Lady Ula Lock of Briton-renamed Lady Ula Healing of the Briton Isles, Lady Alma Terra-renamed Lady Alma Peaceful of the Briton Isles, and Lady Enys Plethora-renamed Lady Enys Tranquil of the Briton Isles."

Emogen looked through the window and sighed. We have been here since dawn and it is now midday. And we still have a lot more choices to make.

She blinked as Guinevere's face floated to the forefront of her mind and asked, "What about our new court systems? Are we going to leave it up to a council like it is now, or will we change it?"

Arthur rubbed his temples and thought it over.

He said slowly, "The Romans had a nice way to go about judging people, although I'd like to change some of it. Would you please hear me out, before refusing my idea?"

All the others nodded silently as Arthur explained, "Well, when someone was accused of a crime, they'd hire a Legal advisor and then they'd go and present their case to a judge. This judge could be anyone we wish, but they would have to be unbiased towards many people and issues. I know none of my Knights can become so impartial, so I'll leave the person to fill this position in to you all."

The five Pict leaders talked it over quietly for a few minutes before Merkin said, "We choose Conner McLeod. He is a very easy-going person who never takes sides unless he has heard both sides of every story. When he's done that, he chooses the side that has the most positive evidence as support. He'd make a wonderful…ah…judge."

Merlin asked, "So, this title shall be?"

Lancelot answered, "His title shall be Head of Regulations."

Merlin nodded and announced, "The title of Head of Regulations belongs to Connor McLeod-renamed Lord Connor Arbitrator of the Briton Isles."

Lancelot looked down at his and Emogen's list of names and titles and laughed.

"What is so funny?" asked Emogen with a smile.

He grinned at his lover and said, "Well, I think Bors will be quite put out if this kingdom doesn't have a city for him to be governor of!"

Arthur smiled and the others looked at the two former Roman soldiers in confusion.

Arthur explained, "In our last few months of service to Rome, Bors went on and on about staying here while the Romans withdrew and becoming Governor of his own city. If he doesn't get this position, we'll never hear the end of it."

Lancelot grimaced and added dryly, "Literally."

Cordelia shared a look with Emogen and opened her mouth. But before she could say anything, Tristran interrupted once more, "How about naming him Governor of the city of the new kingdom. Bors' 'assistant' for lack of a better word, can be one of the Picts."

Merlin, Merkin, and Duncan looked at one another, but nodded in agreement.

"So," said Emogen as she wrote it down, "The new Governor of our city will be Sir Bors?"

Cordelia spoke up before the eldest men could, "The title of Governor belongs to Sir Bors Bearhound of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Bors Governor of…what will our city AND our kingdom be named?"

The group stared at one another in shock. They had spent most of the day cooped up in this little meeting hall deciding who will receive which title for their new kingdom, and they hadn't even named it!

Merlin said, "If I may, I had always hoped to name our new world Camelot, meaning free will of the people."

Arthur smiled and said, "That's perfect."

Cordelia smiled and said, "I agree."

Lancelot and Emogen just smiled. They didn't care either way what the land was called, they just wanted to live in this place in relative peace.

"Fine then, our Kingdom shall be Camelot and our city's name should be related somewhat to the Kingdom's name so…how about Kameland?" suggested Lancelot in an attempt to hurry the meeting along. He was starting to get antsy and he really wanted to go outside and practice with his swords. It had been nearly two weeks since he picked them up for more than simply cleaning them.

"Kameland it is!" cheered Cordelia as she continued, "The title of Governor of Kameland City of the Kingdom of Camelot belongs to Sir Bors Bearhound of the Sarmatian Knights-renamed Lord Bors Chiefton of Kameland City of Camelot of the Briton Isles."

Arthur sighed and asked, "Is that all? Are there anymore positions that needs our immediate attention?"

There was silence.

Arthur nodded and stood, "Well then, I say this meeting is adjourned…"

Merlin, Merkin, and Duncan had all cleared their throats simultaneously.

Arthur rolled his eyes heavenly and asked, "Yes?"

Merlin asked boldly, "And what of us? Will we be demoted in this new world of ours, or will we have some means of survival?"

Lancelot rolled his eyes and groaned.

Cordelia glared at her father.

Emogen, on the other hand, had expected something like this and replied smoothly, "Of course you will have some prestige father, Uncles, but your strongest characteristics are more geared towards advisory practices. So the three of you shall become Arthur and Cordelia's advisors on matters of State!"

Lancelot grinned broadly at her and said, "So, their new titles shall be, Advisor of State."

The three men smiled and nodded. They could live with that kind of power. They were getting old anyway and the power struggles of everyday ruling were wearing them down. Let the younger generation deal with it now. They thought with smiles.

Cordelia smiled at her and said in a cheerful voice, "The titles of Advisors of State belong to Lord Merlin Wise, Lord Merkin Battlement, and Lord Duncan Fairview-renamed Duke Merlin Magilos (Celtic word for advisor) of the Briton Isles, Duke Merkin Wisdom of the Briton Isles, and Duke Duncan Just of the Briton Isles."

With a smile, Emogen and Lancelot twirled their wrists with a flourish as they ended the list. They blew the ink dry and rolled the parchment up.

Arthur said, "Emogen and Lancelot can hold on to those until tomorrow when we announce who shall obtain titles. If that is all, this meeting is adjourned!"

Very quickly Arthur, Cordelia, Emogen, Lancelot, AND the even patient Tristran ran out of the Meeting Hall.
