Excalibar part 2
After Sir Owain picked up the gauntlet the knight in black said that the challenge shall be at dawn and that it is by the knight's code: to the death. I walked back to my new room after everything that happened. I was behind my screen changing when suddenly my door opened. I looked around my screen and saw Arthur.
"Arthur!? What are you doing?!" I asked and hid behind the screen. As if realizing that I am busy changing he answered.
"Sorry,I thought you were not here." Arthur said. Finally I was finished changing into my night gown I walked out from behind my screen and saw Arthur sitting at my table.
"So is Sir Owain ready for tomorrow?" I asked and went to sit in front of my mirror brushing my hair.
"I think so but I am a little worried, since this will be his first real fight." Arthur said.
"Well if it makes you feel any better I will come just before the fight to wish him luck." I said to Arthur.
"It would. Thank you." Arthur said smiling and I smiled at Arthur through the mirror. He left after that to get some rest.
The next day I got in a red dress with gold linings.
It was around noon and I walked to the room next to mine. The door was open and I could see Arthur and Merlin preparing sir Owain for the fight.
I knocked before I entered making all three of them turn to the door. "I came to wish you good luck." I said to Owain who looked at me. I handed him a piece if red cloth to wear as a token.
"Thank you, but I do not need luck." he said and I nodded before leaving to the tournament ground. I sat down next to Morgana and Gwen.
The fight started and as it progresed I could have sworn I saw Owain's sword touch the knight but the knight didn't even flich.
Just as Owain was about to land another blow the kbight stabbed him killing him.
The knight threw down his gauntlet again Arthur was about to pick it up when his father pulled him back and Sir Pellinor picked up the gauntlet taking up the challenge.
The challenge would take place the next day also at noon.
And so it did. At noon the challenge took place and everyone watched as sir pellinor's sword entered the knight but nothing happened to the knight.
Arthur challenges the knight it was at that moment I started to worry for Arthur's live. Later that night I walked to Gauis' chambers. I knocked before I walked in.
"Please tell me the two of you know what that thing is because it is not human and everyone saw the sword enter it." I said looking at Gauis and Merlin.
"It is called a wraith. It was once a man named Tristan de Bois, he was Ygraine's brother." Gauis said
"You mean that thing out there is Arthur's uncle?" I asked and they nodded. Merlin left to go talk to Arthur and I looked at Gauis.
"Can you do anything to try and stop Arthur?" I asked looking at him.
"Well your in luck because the king is taking Arthur's place I just need to give him this." Gauis said holding up a potion bottle.
"I will take it to him." I said and Gauis handed it to me. I walked to Arthur's room and knocked on his door.
"Come in. Except if you are Merlin." Arthur said and I frowned opening the door.
"No but I am his sister." I said walking in.
"Adelaide what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Well I know that you are stressed so I went to get you a tonic for your nerves." I said handing it to him.
"I will take it later." Arthur said.
"No please take it now " I said and Arthur nodded taking the tonic. I walked up to him when his eyes began to close.
"Come on sit down on the bed." I said leading him to the bed. He sat down for a while before laying down.
"Will you stay here?" Arthur asked but it sounded as if he was drunk.
"Sure just until you are asleep." I said suddenly the door to Arthur' s room closes and locks from the outside. Well it looks like I am staying.
I sat in one of the chairs in Arthur's room before I know it I was fast asleep with my head laying on the table.
I woke up the next morning and my back was stiff. I stood up and walked to the window. Arthur was still fast asleep. I looked out the window and saw the people moving towards the tournament grounds.
I heard movement from behind me and saw Arthur sitting up. As if realising he has to fight he jumps up.
He ran toward the door.
"No luck I already tried it. It's locked from outside." I said looking out the window. Arthur jumped when he heard my voice.
"You gave me that tonic to put me to sleep. Why?" Arthur said/asked
"Well it wasn't my idea it was your father's I just offered to gave it to you and for the why, because I didn't want you to get hurt." I said looking at him staring into his blue eyes.
I heard cheering from the tournament ground and looked out the window and saw Uther fighting the knight. I turned to look at Arthur and he was standing behind me looking out the window.
Uther killed the knight. Again. And Arthur and I was finally let out of the room. I found out that it was Morgana who locked me in the room with Arthur.
Things turned out to be great and everything was alright.
For now...
