Power of wisdom; Hiya Lars! Wow did you give me a complement? This is a real Kodak moment isn't it?
ShyLittleViolet: Well I don't want to kill them! I would hate to kill them, they are all so cute! C'mon Lancelot is the standard heartthrob! Tristan has the whole bad boy thingy going on... And Dagonet is just plain cute!
wency: O well I'm a quick writer or what ever is should call myself....
Erika; Thanks a lot.
Kaie: O well I wasn't planning on killing him anyway, he is just too cute. He has the whole big teddy bear thingy going on... And well, I didn't want the knights to be throwing themselves at the girls, if you know what I mean. That would really be bad for their image.
HGandRHrforever: Well I damn hope they are going to save the knights! So you see I have no idea of what will happen, I am pretty sure that I'm going to save Dagony (its my nickname for Dagonet.) And you're Texan? That's got to be fun! Plus I didn't know that there where milder swears than "darn" so thanks for learning my something new!
Obscurity of Truth; Well in this chap is a little bit more Tristan, I kind of portray him as what I think he is...I'm not making sense am I? I almost never make sense.... O what ever, here is a bit more Tristan action for ya!
chiefhow: Tristan's accent is sexy, but everything about him is sexy...don't you think?
Some of you might have seen one of the reviewers used the nickname Gollum-freak...I think you want an explanation about that....am I right?
Well I'm a big lord of the rings fan and I have an ultra strange liking for Gollum, I know freaky. Well I have one wall filled with Gollum pictures, posters, dolls and drawings....that's how I got the nickname Gollum-freak...
Chapter 4; the conversation, about going home.
After the "little" conflict with the Woads. They started heading for the great wall, better known as Hadrian's Wall. The knights didn't really ride with the bishop and his entourage. The kept their distance, the knights didn't really seem to like anything that had to do with the Roman Empire. The road up to a hill and watched the Romans pass threw the gait.
"This is a lot bigger than I thought it would be." Lea said impressed by the big building.
"Yeah it looked so much smaller in the, -But than it hit Jillian these men didn't know about the movie, hell they didn't know what a movie was! - Distance." She said trying to camouflage the almost biggest mistake ever.
Luckily none of the knights paid attention to it, they where to busy thinking of their freedom. They had absolutely no idea of what faith had installed for them.
"Well now that we're free men, I'm gonna drink 'till I can't piss straight." Bors said already planning his evening.
"How charming." Lea mumbled.
"You do that every night." Gawain said with a small smile; he was the only one who had heard Lea's mumbling.
"I never could piss straight. Too much of myself to handle. Down there." Bors said pointing to an area below the belt.
"That's too much info." Jillian said.
"I agree." Lea added a bit disgusted.
"Well it's a problem! No really, it is. It's a problem. Its like-" Bors said but was cut of by the other men;
"A baby's arm holding an apple." It was unison; Bors probably said it a lot.
"You're disgusting males." Lea said loud enough for all to hear.
"Yeah, real perverts aren't they?" Jillian said smilingly to her cousin.
"Damn right!" Lea replied.
Galahad gave an irritated sigh. Sign for the other knights to start riding for the wall or this little argument would probably get ugly...
After a little while Galahad started speaking again:
"I don't like it. He's here to discharge us, why doesn't he just give us our papers?" He said pensive.
"Is this your gratitude?" Gawain laughed.
Galahad grinned a little.
Jillian was glade that they where still joking around and didn't have a single clue of what was going to happen. It was going to be depressing...really depressing.
"Galahad, you still not know the Romans. They don't scratch their asses without holding a ceremony." Gawain said laughing.
"Why don't ye just kill him, and then discharge yourself after?" Bors asked. Lea saw that he was seamy serious! This disturbed her!
"I don't kill for pleasure. Unlike some." Galahad said looking at Tristan intently.
"Well, you should try it someday; you might get a taste for it." Tristan said, this was the first time the girls saw him really interested in something the others where saying.
Gawain, Lancelot and the girls started to laugh.
This was proof for Lea; Tristan had a sense of humour! He didn't show it but he had it!
"Its part of you. It's in your blood." Bors said seriously. Lea didn't know he could be serious. Goofy....really goofy. First Tristan is funny, now Bors is serious....
"N-no-no.-" Galahad said laughing a bit. "As of tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory."
"Wanna bet?" Jillian said.
Lea felt like ripping her cousin's pretty little face of her pretty little skull.
And after receiving an ugly glare from her cousin it hit Jillian she had said something completely moronic.
"Why did you say that outlawed you big cow?!" Lea thought feeling fairly irritated. Well you can't blame her, can you?
"What do you mean?" Galahad asked suspicious. The other knights seemed to be a little confused to...
"I meant, that you can't just stop killing...you haft to build it down first...before you can really stop killing. You can't just switch it off, the killing I mean." Jillian said. She knew she wasn't making perfect sense, she was totally rambling on....
"Right..." Galahad said a little confused because of the very strange explanation Jillian just gave him.
"I've
often thought what going home would mean after all this. What will I
do?
It's different for Galahad. I have been in this life longer
than the other. So much for home – it's not so clear in my
memory." Gawain said clearly thinking.
"Well, speak for yourself, its cold back there. And everybody I know is dead and buried. Besides, I have, I think, a dozen children." Bors said, weird that he hast to think about how many children he has.
"Eleven." Gawain corrected.
"You don't know how many children you have? That's not very good you know." Lea said.
"I don't think he knows what a dozen is." Gawain whispered to her.
"Oooo..." Lea whispered back.
"You listen, when the Romans leave here, we'll have the run of this entire place. I'll be... governor of my own village, and Dagonet will be my personal guard and royal arse-kisser, won't you, Dagony?" Bors said to his best-friend. Or so the girls think...Bors and Dagonet seem to be very close.
Jillian thought so when she saw the movie, well by the way Bors reacted to Dagonet's death it was pretty obvious that they where close.
And Lea had come to the conclusion because of the way they acted around each other. It was almost brotherly.
"First thing I will do when I get home is find myself a beautiful Sarmatian woman to wed." Gawain said dreamingly.
"A beautiful Sarmatian woman? Why do you think we left in the first place?" Bors said, after saying that he moos, presumably imitating a cow.
All the men started laughing our girls on the other hand....
"Did you hear that? It's like feminism never even happened! I hated it when he said that in the movie." Jillian said very quietly to her cousin.
The men didn't hear, they where to busy laughing.
"Well it hasn't! We're hundreds of years to early." Lea hissed.
"O yeah. Sorry force of habit." Jillian said sheepishly.
"I know." Lea sighed.
"What about you, Lancelot? What are your plans for home?" Bors asked after the laughing finally stopped.
"Well if this woman of Gawain's is as beautiful as he claims, I expect to be spending a lot of time at Gawain's house. His wife will welcome the company." Lancelot said smirking.
"I see. And what will I be doing?" Gawain said raising an eyebrow.
"Wondering at your good fortune that all your children look like me." Lancelot said; if possible his smirk grew.
Bors fell into a fresh fit of laughter.
"Is that before or after I hit you with my axe?" Gawain muttered.
Bors didn't seem to be able to stop laughing now.
"Bors, dude snap out of it." Jillian said looking at the very amused knight.
Tristan visibly ignoring Bors and the others whistled his hawk. The very beautiful bird landed on his left arm.
"Where you been, eh? Where you been?" Tristan said to his hawk in a loving town. He was just filled with surprises wasn't he? Lea had expected a killing machine, what did she see, a man with a weakness for animals.
"Say Tristan!" Jillian said trying to get the scouts attention.
"What is it?" Tristan said still focussing on his bird.
"I have been wondering; dos you're bird have a name?" Jillian asked.
"No." Tristan said shortly.
"O, okay." Jillian said softly. She always had wanted to know what the birds name was. But as she had expected, the bird was nameless.
"What will you do, Arthur, when you return to your beloved Rome?" Lancelot asked his friend.
"Give thanks to God that I survived to see it." Arthur replied.
"You and your God. You disturb me." Lancelot smiled.
"We are Christians; we believe in god, got a problem with that?" Jillian said with her natural air.
"Of course not." Lancelot mumbled trying to keep the girls from making a scene; if there was one thing he had learned from his life as a ladies man it was that a wronged woman is much more dangerous than an army of enraged Woads.
"It's good that we finally meet a couple of Christians on this island." Arthur said dreaming of his pretty little Rome.
"Let's get back to you Arthur." Lea said trying to dodge any questions about where she and her cousin where from.
"Yes Arthur, why do you want to return to your Rome?" Lancelot asked again.
"I want to return to Rome, Lancelot I want peace. I've had enough fighting. You should visit me in Rome." Arthur said dreaming of his ideal Rome.
"Maybe..."Lancelot sighed.
"It's a magnificent place, Rome. Ordered, civilized, advanced-" Arthur said with a goofy smile (the kind of smile who would expect of a teenager in love, not the kind you expect from a warlord!)
"A breeding ground of arrogant fools?" Lancelot asked frowning.
"The greatest minds of all the land have come together in one sacred place to help make mankind free." Arthur said with another one of his googly smiles.
"...And the women?" Lancelot asked slyly smirking.
"Freaking man whore..." Lea muttered.
"What was that?" Gawain asked.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing." Lea mumbled.
T.B.C
Okay some of you might have noticed I used the nickname Dagony for Dagonet. Don't ask my why, I just do....well actually I thought it was cute..... I know I have a very twisted mind.
