Journey with the Knight [Gwaine]

[arabis]

In Arabis was given birth again the wish to travel in Camelot. She has a lot of years to visits this beautiful kingdom and she had missed it enough, so much the kingdom as long as also the persons that lived there. The last time where she had travelled in this famous kingdom, it should they was before Morgana opposes in all the friends and acquaintances. Truth if she could make something and they do not become all them his would make. For this reason it should it does something. Was boring who remains all the day in the castle.

She ran to her father and him it asked her it leaves to go to Camelot. Naturally her father did not want it afterwards hears conversation, from all what had happened the previous days. Believed that existed still danger there. But Arabis accomplished it says to him that does not exist no danger there who and that all they is sure. Persuaded by this argument with this, other natural and would not leave her to go her alone. Then he explained that the knights they were enough occupied in order to take her there, and didn't hear any conversation in the solution to went alone.

Finally with the idea to call a knight from Camelot to escort her, agreed also her it left to travel there. All them was thinking as long as she waited for the knight to arrive. She had taken together some clothes, thus and differently she was going to buy there new. Also a carriage it had been prepared, in case where princess would be tired to ride anymore. A escort of also certain soldiers they would accompany them. All they was ready, they saw the knight coming.

This was one task that Gwaine was incredibly surprised to have received. Apparently a princess from the northern lands had requested a visit to Camelot and she needed a selection of knights to escort her across the borders. Gwaine could understand that, after all, it was hardly incredibly safe given that the kingdom was still finding its feet after Morgana and Morgause’s fall from power. Arthur had taken over most of the duties now that would be left to the king, not many had really seen Uther, at least not in public, since order had been restored to the kingdom. Gwaine couldn’t say he felt particularly sorry for the man himself, but he felt worse for the effect it was clearly having on Arthur. Perhaps the stress had blurred Arthur’s perception somewhat, because no one in their right mind would put Gwaine in charge of a princess, especially if she was young and beautiful.

He had a team of knights with him, they had only been riding hard for a day or so, though they would need to rest for the night the journey back to Camelot wouldn’t take them that long so long as the weather remained quite fair, and as long as the princess was an experienced horse woman. If she was a novice, or preferred a carriage then the journey time would be doubled automatically. Gwaine wouldn’t be that happy at that, given that it would mean one more day that he wasn’t spending in the tavern. Being a knight of Camelot had severely cut into his drinking time.

They were approaching the castle, and Gwaine looked around at his fellow knights as they gawped up at the magnificence of the castle. Gwaine had visited here once before, but he hadn’t been invited that time of course; he had just been seeing what was here, he hadn’t spent long in this neck of the woods though, he’d gone further east and had ended up in Mercia instead. The ale had been better there. As they entered the courtyard, Gwaine was approached by a servant who asked the nature of their business, “We are here to convey the princess to Camelot, we are the knights of Camelot.”

Arabis had started to fret. She does not like to wait, but she wanted to wait for her. Anyway, she was somewhat nervous for the journey, at that moment She turned back to her luggage and trying to remember that she had taken all the necessary clothes with her. She was lost in her thoughts, when suddenly I heard footsteps from horses.

Then appeared a messenger, who must have been new as she does not remember him at all. This blonde servant, announced that the knights of Camelot had arrived and was ready to accompany her. Almost as soon as he finished his words of the knights made their appearance. Arabis felt a satisfaction when she saw them, because they are going to begin their journey. But rules wanted to introduce herself and welcome them. "I am princess Arabis, and welcome to Archelandi!" she said with a sweet and gentle smile.

Gwaine had never really been put in charge of anything like this, especially when conveying a woman was brought into matters. No one had really trusted Gwaine with things like this before, and he wasn’t quite sure what he had done to earn everyone’s trust this time. Perhaps it was supposed that because the woman they were coming to convey was a princess he wouldn’t try anything. Plus, he had his men to keep under control, so he was busy enough with the tasks he had been set. Gwaine was enjoying stretching his legs further than the castle of Camelot. He hadn’t really been out much, and even when he was sent on patrol it was nothing like what he had been used to when he had been a nomad.

He dismounted his horse quickly; some of the knights did the same, though some remained on their horses. Gwaine walked up to the small entourage in front of him, there were a few there to greet them, and one woman who he supposed must be the princess. It shocked Gwaine that the woman introduced herself, given then most princesses were usually kept behind their fathers, or brothers, until they were married. As far as Gwaine was aware, the Princess was not married. He gave a low, and respectful bow; the other knights following on cue. “It is a pleasure to meet you Princess.” He drew himself back up and then looked around at his knights, “We are the knights of Camelot, and we have been sent to convey you on your visit.” He wasn’t really used to the whole regal or formality act. He just went along with it, and hoped that everything would be fine, “Are you ready to leave, Princess?”
