Knights of the Round Table
It had been five days since the council of the round table had decided to keep Arthur's death a secret. You would think they would tell the whole kingdom. Arthur was a leader. The sword had proven that he was true king.
The planned to make decisions amongst themselves, as Arthurs most trusted advisers they were sure they could make the decision.
For the first few months of the secret Lancelot hoped Guinevere would bear a child. But, alas no child came to bring peace to the kingdom.
The first years were fine. Everyone in the castle played along. If they didn't they would be beheaded. Erec grew weary of no single person having power.
Erec was a proud, haughty man. Taking any woman he desired. No one had a clue why Arthur awarded him knight of the round table.
Erec's craving for power led him to take place on the throne. He took Guinevere for his queen and announced himself ruler of Camelot.
No one rebelled against his rule. The Knights had grown old and had no fight left in them. The ones that refused to live under Erec's rule left to the far edges of the kingdom.

Lancelot's old bones burned in the noon daylight as he hefted his hoe up to break the soil. He could almost feel the sun burning his skin to a crisp. His to sons were taking quite a burning themselves.
He had cried when they were born. His only joys left since Erec's rise to power. Arthur and William. His wife was named Emma and she had also given him a little star, Stella.
The farm he had bought for hid family was thriving. Beautiful fields of corn covered the area surrounding his home. In harvest season they made bag upon bag of gold.
He had a nice life…

The small bag of coins clattered in onto the inns desk. The Black Knight sighed. Another bounty collected. Even when he was a boy he was skilled at killing.
He was the brute force used in the dirty missions. The silent murders noble knights couldn't do.
He had been gathering rebels to help his fight against Erec.
They would take back there throne…
Thanks for reading. I'm sorry it was short. It's really late and this is the only day I can use my mom's laptop to type this up. I really hate typing on my phone. I want to thank my bathtub for giving me this very short idea. And also JaystarDeamon for following (that made my day ). Comment. Follow. Favorite
