Chapter two: The journey
Our journey was long and tedious. I was very lucky that I had learned combat and self defense because it wasn't long before young men started to approach me. After they learned that I was not to be messed with, (it took a couple of head bangings and ass kicking's) they left me alone. Lancelot was also very protective and never left my side.
The boys eventually treated me as an equal in most cases. Some would never get over it and shunned me altogether except to call me a slut or some other slur.
There were some who I got rather close to though, like friends or brothers in some cases. Two brothers named Gawain and Galahad became close friends. Galahad was twelve and the youngest boy there and was rather cute with his dark eyes and dark curls. Gawain, seventeen and one of the oldest there, was a bear with long sandy hair and was funny and very likeable. The four of us became close friends and they watched my back just like Lancelot.
Other friends were Bors and Dagonet, also brothers who became friends to have fun with and make jokes with. Bors was a rotund boy who was more muscle than anything was a jokester where Dag was quiet and sensual. Also there was a sixteen year old named Tristan who almost seemed dangerous in his own dark ways. Other friends included the handsome and charming Gareth and the wild but friendly Percival. Bedivere was Percival's older brother and was charming in his own way but mostly kept to himself.
Not so friendly were Malagant and many others. I won't spend much time on this because they were cruel and often times disgusting.
Ages are as follows for the people listed above.
17 – Dagonet, Bedivere, and Gawain
16 – Tristan and Malagant
15 – Lancelot and Percival
14 – Me and Gareth
13 – I don't think there were any
12 – Galahad and he's the youngest
All the other boys not mentioned were within this range. We passed time with talking since were riding most of the time and had to stay with the officers. Months passed, I think three months.
We had to cross over to an island to get to our station, Britain. Finally, we were there.
