After Arthur Pendragon defeated Vortigern, he reclaimed his rightful throne as the true king. He knights his friends and is now in charge of the kingdom. More than a year has passed and everyone seems to be focused on why the King still hasn't found...
Daisy woke up from her slumber. She had been wandering for almost an entire week. She walked into a forest one early afternoon, but her sense of direction was terrible. She got lost and kept walking until it got dark. With nowhere to go, she stumbled upon a cave. It was not the greatest place to sleep, but it did provide some type of a "shelter" until she found a permanent place. The food she took from her house is almost gone. She has about a day or two left on it to survive. She did have some luck when she found a river near the cave. At least she was able to maintain her hygiene for the entire week.
She stood up and put on her coat. She had a goal for today. She will find a better place. The cave was a saving grace and it provided her a good shelter, but she couldn't stay here anymore. Daisy stepped out of the cave and started walking. She opened a jar and drank from the water.

Half an hour later
Daisy stopped walking and sat down on a big stone to take a break. The shoes she wore weren't made for walking long distances. She enjoyed the silence of the forest. Suddenly something caught her attention. She heard footsteps. It wasn't just one set. It was more than one because she could hear two male voices. The voices were getting close.
"So William, do you think he will finally make a decision today?" Tristan asked.
"He better pick someone. I'm losing my patience and he's just making everything more difficult for all of us." William replied.
William and Tristan looked up and stopped walking. They saw a young blond woman sitting on a stone. She saw them too.
Daisy stood up and couldn't hide her fear. Why are these men here? "Who are you?" She asked.
"Young lady, I think we should be the ones asking you this question." William replied.

"Stay back. Don't take another step." Daisy instructed.
"What are you doing here?" Tristan asked.
"I was taking a walk." Daisy answered.
"You cannot be serious." Tristan remarked. "There's no way you were just taking a walk in this area."
"I am serious. I'm just passing through." Daisy insisted.
"Miss, you don't look well. We could help you." William tried to get her trust. He took a small step forward. "I'm William and this is Tristan." He pointed with his finger to Tristan. "We're knights."
"Of course you are and I'm the Queen of England." Daisy sarcastically replied. "Are you deaf? I told you not to take another step. You leave me no choice." Daisy quickly grabbed an empty jar and threw it at William. He ducked at the last second and the jar barely missed his head.
Tristan couldn't hold his laugh and let it out. William got up and glared at him. "What are you laughing at? I could have been hurt."
"I'm sorry, William. She's got quite a strong arm for throwing things at people. I didn't think she would attack you. I underestimated her." Tristan apologized.
