The First Female Knight Of Camelot

Chapter 1

It was a still dark when the young girl awoke. She grabbed her bags and walked to the front door. She looked around the home she loved. The only place she cared about. Opening the door, refusing to turn back she climbed upon her horse and set off from the town she knew as home. It was going to be a long journey but she was ready. Every minute of her life had led her to this moment.  

The sun rose over the trees as the girl raced through them. She was tired but she needed to do this. A full day past and the sun was setting. She found a safe looking area and finally climbed off the back of her beautiful stallion. She collected some wood and started a fire. The night drew in and soon her eyes closed and sleep took over her.

When she woke up, she stretched out her, now aching, limbs. She climbed on the back of her horse and took off for the last leg of her journey. She could see the castle not far from her. Taking a deep breath, she rode into the centre of the castle grounds. Her horse, Emerson, dark as night, tired from the ride. A guard approached her. "State your purpose". "I seek an audience with the king." The guard took her in and smiled. "Of course". She took her horse and tied him up as she walked towards the castle. The guards walked her to the door of Uther's grand hall. "Come" Uther said. In walked the young girl. She was small and looked weak, fear filled her small frame. "Hello. What is your name?" Uther asked. Taking a deep breath, she replied. "My name is Amy Dragonslayer. I am the daughter of the noble Mayard and Moraya Dragonslayer. I have come for the right be a Knight of Camelot Sire" Amy said. Arthur, who stood beside Uther looked shocked. "You can't be a Knight. You're a girl" Uther commented. Anger surged through the girls blood. "Do you have any evidence to say a woman cannot be a Knight of Camelot? I am of Noble blood. That is all I require is it not. Please. Let me train and judge me from there. But do not judge me due to my gender Sire" Amy said. Uther looked her up and down. "Send for Geoffrey. He must have something to prove her wrong. Take her to a room for now." "You can train tomorrow with the other new comers. But I do not want them knowing you are female. You want to be a Knight? You will disguise yourself as a male. Arthur, make sure she looks suitable before stepping out on that field. I need my men focused, and not on a child" Uther said before walking out. Arthur turned to the girl. "The chance of you surviving this is slim" He said. "Says who" Amy said and then walked out of the grand hall.
