The day, you, slipped away

Was the day I found

I have had my wake up

Won't you wake up.

I keep asking why.

I can't take it

It wasn't fake.

It happened you passed by.

Chapter Twenty: The Start of a Battle

The knights rode along side of the caravan that left for safety. Smoke filled the air giving Hadrian's Wall a dead feeling. The only one's that stayed behind were Guin and Arthur. Sabina stayed quiet and didn't say anything. Evelyn looked ahead with sorrow and sadness in her eyes. Valerie stayed along Tristan. They both felt sadness for their friend was fighting alone. Natalie had a few tears run down her face. It shouldn't end like this.

Lancelot looked over at Natalie and saw tears run down her face. He didn't say anything knowing she just needs some space. She and Arthur had like a brother sister connection, though they never really talked to each other. He could see it. These four girls had an impact, a huge impact on all of them. These four girls gave four knights, including him, something to love.

Dagonet just looked at Evelyn and his heart was stolen. Of course, she is a beautiful woman and had a wonderful personality. She was fun, loving, nice and funny. Everything Dag could hope for. Her brown eyes lit up when ever she saw Dag and vise versa. Now, they have admitted their love for each other and they're happy as can be.

Tristan and Valerie. Lancelot never that it was possible for Tristan to find the right woman after Isolde. But, he was wrong. Val was the only young woman who could make Tristan smile and laugh. Though, come to think of it, Tristan was a little more open then what he used to be. Ever since he saw Valerie, he became for social. They had a very strong love connection and it took them a long time for them to admit it.

Galahad and Sabina were just two young adults. They heard each others names and they were in love. Eight hours of knowing each other and they already had sex. Yea, not such a great night for everyone else. But, they loved each other so much.

Lancelot and Natalie. They had the strongest love connection of any of the knights. It was powerful that Lancelot had to admit that he loved her the second his saw her. And vise versa. Natalie loved Lancelot so much. Where he was, that was he home. If he died, then she died with him. She'd kill her self if he died…just to be with him. She'd blame her self if he ever got hurt. And Lancelot would do the same thing. Their love was an uncommon love.

Arthur and Guinevere. Arthur looked at her in the dungeon and he knew under her dirt covered face, she was beautiful, that she was a woman of beauty. He fell in love with her. And like everyone else, their love would last for an eternity. When they die, they will still love each other. Arthur would die for her and she him.

Bors looked up and saw Arthur in his full armor and his armored horse up on the hill through the smoke. He rode his horse out of line and toward the hill. He stopped and unsheathed his sword.

"Artorius! Ruuuus!" Bors cried and lifted his sword.

Arthur didn't respond and Bors slowly lowered his sword. Arthur horse made slight movement and Arthur raised his banner.

"Ruuuuuuuuuuuuus!" he cried back and Natalie rode her horse out of line next to Bors.

Her horse reared in the air making a whine of victory. Arthur smiled at her. She couldn't see him smile, but she knew he was and she smiled back. Natalie and Bors rode back into line and Arthur watched his friends ride away. Arthur looked ahead and saw that the Saxons were calling for a truce. Arthur stuck his banner into the ground and rode off toward the gate. The knights watched him ride away.

A few minutes later his returned, though the sound of Saxon drums were ringing through the air. Natalie's horse grew restless and reared in the air uncontrollably. She pulled on Ty's reins and as soon as she was back on the ground, Natalie pulled her out of line, stroking her neck. The other horses grew restless. And the knights pulled them out of the line. Natalie whispered in Ty's ear a song to calm her down. Lancelot looked up at her and smiled. Natalie looked at her sister who smiled back. Evy and Sabina smiled and so did the other knights.

They dressed in the armor except for Natalie, Sabina and Evy. They rode up to the hill and Natalie picked up the pace to get up there first. She rode up and stopped next to Arthur and pulled her sword out and smiled at him. He smiled back and the other came up besides them. Arthur smiled and looked ahead as the Saxons marched in through the gate. The girls had their weapons ready. Tristan got out his bow and shot an arrow through the air into a tree which hit a Saxon scout. Val smiled at him and gripped her sword. The woads fired arrows and they sword in the air. Arthur moved his horse forward and thus the Battle of Badon's Hill began. Natalie cantered her horse faster and through her sword in the air just in time to catch it to kill a Saxon as they reached the small army that feared them.

They rode forward after killing them and then turned around and rode back behind them. Sabina took a swing with her sword and decapitated a Saxon and blood sprayed her light skin. Evy cat one's head open cause blood to fly in the air and come down like rain. They turned back around killing the last few Saxons letting blood fly in the air once more. Natalie saw a Saxon making a run for it and she turned her horse around. She raised her sword as she got near him and cut his back and a few bones from his spine flew through the air and his scream pierced the wind around her as she rode back to the others…
