A Long Overdue Reunion

[Arthur Pendragon]

Arthur usually didn't like doing this: standing outside, waiting to greet a visiting royal family. Usually Morgana was the one who got stuck meeting and greeting, but Arthur also knew that was only because he made up excuses to . . . well, not be here. He would use the excuse of having to train his men, or patrol, or something but today, his father made it a point to make sure he was present. At first, Arthur was not thrilled about the idea . . . but that was before he heard that the king's daughter would be accompanying him. That immediately peaked Arthur's interest. He had met Princess Polyxena when he was much younger and while he'd spent some time with, he didn't know her as well as he could. Which he hoped to change. As they stood in the courtyard, their visitors came into view. Well, the carriage did anyway, with the king riding on horseback, surrounded by their army to of course protect them on their journey -- for one never knew the dangers that could arise.

Arthur found himself rather eager to see the princess . . . for reasons that any young prince would wish to see a woman who was rumored to be quite beautiful. When the carriage came to a full stop, one of the guards announced the royals names, before the king dismounted and came up to approach them. As was Arthur's duty he walked toward the carriage as one of the men opened the door, and Arthur stood there with an extended hand to help her out of it. As he turned his head to see her, it was then that he was very, very glad that he was standing here, for the rumors were true: the princess was indeed extremely beautiful. "Princess Polyxena," he greeted, waiting to assist her from the carriage, and now more than ever, rather eager to do so.

[Princess Polyxena]

Polyxena was very happy when she heard of her trip she was going to take wit her father to Camelot. She had visited the impressive kingdom so many years ago and she has missed it. As always during the journey, she was reading a book to help calm her down and when she wasn't reading, she was looking out of the carriage's window enjoying the nature. It was perfect, except when her father stopped reading his political documents and started to talk about boring themes -- well for Polyxena they were. So much so that she pretended to be hearing him and was laughing on the inside from embarrassment. He was the king and she didn't want to be rude with him, even if he was her father. She was just sad that her mother wasn't accompanying them. It would have be great if they were all able to travel to Camelot.

As they got closer to their destination, Polyxena began thinking about Lady Morgana. She was always so kind and her dresses were the best in the world. Then there was the Prince. Polyxena had met him many years ago, but she was only a little girl and she didn't have much time to get to know him better. Furthermore she has heard many rumors of his beauty and his kindness from other ladies who was made a visit previous months ago! So she just wanted to check this out for herself if these rumors was true! She closed her book when the carriage stopped and with some help, she got out. And there she saw the blonde prince of Camelot standing friendly and ready to help her. "Hello Prince Arthur." She gave him the sweetest smile that she could manage after the long and tiring journey. So the rumors were true. He truly was beautiful and kind prince of Camelot.
