"State your name and you reason of being here," called a young man riding atop a horse.

I stared at him in awe, he looked so... kingly. He was wearing a flowing red cape and was that... chain mail? Why was he wearing the clothes of a knight? A reenactment, maybe? "Did you not hear me, girl?" he demanded. 

I snapped back into reality and focused on the sword pointed at my chest, "M-my name is Danielle. I, um, don't exactly know how I ended up here." I could feel a warm tear roll down my cheek, and for the first time since I woke up, I realized I was scared.

The man on the horse frowned down at me. He looked me over carefully and held out his hand. I looked at him, confused. "Your bag," he ordered. I handed it up to him and watched as he pulled out my phone and Walkman, looking confused as to what they were. He decided they were of no importance and placed them back. Next he pulled out my combat boots, not taking any interest in them. 

"You will ride with us to Camelot, Danielle. We will provide you with food and shelter, but I will require answers," the knight stated.

He handed me my bag and pointed behind him, "You can ride with my servant, Merlin." Another young man came riding towards me. He stopped just in front of me and held out his hand.

"Hello," he smiled, "I'm Merlin."
