( Okay, this is my take on the Arthurian mythos/the matter of Britain. Much like Geoffrey of monmouth, I scraped together little bits and pieces of legend and history into a big heap, mixed in some of my own imagination, and told my own version of the story. I focused mostly on the works of Gildas and Bede, as well as the welsh legends/mythology, while mostly ignoring Everything that came after Nennius, using it only sparingly. I am writing this in fragments, as if it were pieces of a tattered manuscript found in an old monastery, with parts and pages missing. So the narrative will be a bit jarring, but it should be easy to follow. Also, there are a ton of anachronisms and historical inaccuracies in here, but remember I am writing this as a fairy tale/mythology/fantasy story, and not as history. Anyway, I hope somebody besides me enjoys this, and more chapters will be coming soon! )
