 Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur set out to find Leon, to reveal his presence and to explain what tomorrow would bring. At least for this, Arthur would be staying. He would stay until things were properly restored, but not to claim any kinship. It was better this way anyway. For Camelot to have a governing system that involved people who knew what they were doing. As he made his way through the crowd, he found Leon and explained all that would happen. Leon was understanding and Arthur could see that same look of hope upon him. They eventually parted ways, and as Arthur was walking towards where he would meet Guinevère, he suddenly felt someone grab his arm and the first thought that came to him . . . was that he had been exposed. And, he had. Just not in the way he'd thought.
"About time you got here." Arthur's face held the shock that he felt upon seeing Gwaine, Percival and Leon. "How . . . " They explained what had happened. They'd heard of the Pendragon son and had pieced things together. The town had been ransacked after Morgana failed in capturing him and through the process, they had gathered their information. They'd tried to find him to no avail, so came where the armies were gathering . . . to wait for him. It did not need to be said, but Arthur knew what this all meant. Not only did he have the support of his brothers, but, they seemed to have enough faith in him to know he would show up. Arthur hugged each one, so incredibly relieved to see them. They then spent a little while talking, catching up, as Arthur told them too what tomorrow would bring. His brothers of heart explained that they had just lay low, a joke at Gwaine's expense of whether the man was even capable of laying low.
It felt . . . incredible. To talk to them again, to be able to jest with them. He had missed them so incredibly much and it was so easy to fall back into that blacksmith life. Once all was explained, Arthur realized that Guinevère must be waiting for him. He also knew, that he should introduce them. If he and Guinevère were to leave after this, chances are, his brothers would be venturing out with him. They were all unused to settling in once place. Arthur went first though, telling the men to stay a bit back. Seeing that Guinevère was indeed waiting, Arthur approached her. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting," he first apologized. He extended his hand for her to take, implying that they were going to go somewhere. "There are some people I would like you to meet," he told her with a smile. "Very close friends of mine from my home." His brothers of heart.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She spoke of how she felt like she didn't know him, and Arthur truly wanted to change that. To let her feel like she did know him and . . . it was clear that it was this side of him that she wanted to get to know. A side of him that had been rejected by his own father though he supposed now, it was a different case considering what he found out about the former queen. "Of course," he told her with a small smile.
"If there is anything you'd like to know Guinevère, ask," he encouraged. He also knew that if she felt this way now, it would only grow to be more intense when they returned to Camelot . . . and the castle, -- should they be victorious. "I know there is much that has been left unsaid," he began to say in full acknowledgement. "So should there be anything you want to know, I will answer everything." Because, now that the truth was out . . . there was no point withholding anything anymore. He opened the door to their house, waiting for her to step inside before he followed, closing it behind them, and relieved for the place that granted them privacy . . . should she wish to inquire about anything tonight.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur could not stop smiling as she spoke of how they could be anything; that she lowed sewing and could perhaps pursue that. "Sounds wonderful," he said. The idea of it; of both of them doing something they loved. Pursuing a life together; a simple, happy life. Arthur had had that not too long ago yet the thought of sharing it with Guinevère made it seem brighter. The question of Morgana brought him back to reality where they would first need to get through tomorrow. There was still some things they had to do before they could embrace their life, but now, the incentive was there. The motivation was there.
"At first light," he explained. Which was good. The sooner they got this over with, the better. The sooner she failed in pulling out the sword, the sooner she would leave Camelot and it could be restored to what it once was. At the mention of Leon, Arthur nodded. "I will speak to him and explain all this to him." Of Morgana. Of what he suggested they do to govern Camelot. Though maybe Leon would have a better suggestion since he was more well versed in politics considering his position.
"That sounds perfect," he said, eager to hold her, to lay by the fire, to fall asleep next to each other. Fortunately, many did not recognize him so he may be able to get away with not being pointed out. Leon surely would not expose him. "I should go then. Speak to him so that I can spend the remainder of the night with you." Their life together, could start tonight. "Where will I find you?" So that he would not have to wander aimlessly around this place.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur was unsure how long the kiss lasted but eventually, he began to draw back, easing out of it. His forehead touching hers as he just focused on breathing after that incredible embrace. Her words broke the silence and he softly smiled. Nice. He slowly his eyes to look at her and see her smiling.
"Nice," he repeated, a light and playful tease in his voice. He drew back a little more so that their foreheads weren't touching, but stayed relatively close to her. "A fresh start," he began to tell her. "A promise." Something else that the kiss indicated. "Of a life . . . together." Where they could leave all this, and start over. Start fresh. Start, together.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur continued to take in her words, seeing her smile, and the certainty in which she spoke them. She wanted a fresh start as well. It meant more to Arthur than he could say. That after everything, she was willing to go with him to lands unknown, and . . . to give them a chance. To build upon something that was mutually felt between them. To know that it was not one sided and that she too was willing to go with him to explore what they had. To find happiness. Arthur felt overwhelmed with emotion. He could say nothing. He could do nothing but just gaze at her, soft intent upon his features. As if he was mesmerised by the woman before him. He didn't know what tomorrow would bring, nor what the future had in store for them. But he was eager to find out . . . together.
That was when the emotion became too much to just remain idle. As if an unseen force pulled him towards her . . . as it had the very first day they met. Perhaps it was indeed fate, that he was meant to meet her all along. Slowly leaning forward, he inched closer and closer, until he felt the softness of her lips against his own, closing his eyes and basking in the sudden burst of feelings that exploded within him. The sensation that was unlike any other, and one he had longed to experience. Not quite realizing, just how much until this moment . . . where he kissed her for the very first time.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur was surprised to hear it, in the best way possible. He could feel his heart swell with emotion upon hearing that she would leave with him. Even planning it out to suggest that they could stay for a bit, make sure things were settled and then making their way to start a new life . . . together. That was becoming his new favorite word. His smile faded but only to let the emotion show on his face, of just how much her offer meant to him.
"You would do that?" He asked, clearly touched by her words. "You would leave your home . . . to be with me?" The place she grew up in. The castle that she worked in. He knew that she had worked for Morgana but still. It was the place she was used to. She was most familiar with. And . . . to hear that she would leave all that, and go somewhere far away enough . . . meant the world to him. So much so that he didn't have any more words to offer other than the ones he spoke. As if trying to determine whether this was truly real.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur gave a small smile at her speaking of how he could bring people hope. He still disagreed, but he at least could feel like he was doing something to help. That in his position, he was able to challenge Morgana to something like this. But before he could give any words of disagreement, she asked him what he would do after this. It was a good question, not one he had given much thought towards. "I'm not sure," he admitted. "I don't know how safe it would be to go home." Because, he doubted Morgana would stop hunting him. At some point, she would try to reclaim the throne, but Arthur hoped that this bought the kingdom enough time to rally their defences, gain the support of their allies, and strengthen Camelot to be strong enough to eliminate any threat that Morgana may still posed.
He was about to ask her the same thing, whether she would still work in the castle or not . . . when her question caused him to pause. It was more the one that came after. "I asked . . . " He paused, remembering exactly what he had said, but dared to hope that her answer had changed. He knew what he had asked of her was unfair to her, and yet . . . he'd asked it anyway. And now she wished for him to repeat the words. He took a slow breath. "If you would come with me." He looked at her intently, his words both an answer to her question as well as a question itself. Would she come with him, when all this was over?

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur felt a strong comfort in her words. That they would face her, together. For he knew that it could not be easy -- to say the least -- for Guinevère to face Morgana after quite literally stabbing her in the back. "Together," he repeated, wanting her to know that this time, he would stay until it was seen through. That he would not flee when danger was upon them. That they would do this, get through this . . . together. He drew strength from her in ways he could not explain. And she gave him confidence in matters that he otherwise had none. His feelings for her grew intense with each passing day and . . . he wasn't even certain how to vocalize them. He gave a bit of a smile at her next words.
"I spent some time with the druids," he began to explain. "They told me of this legend, and I thought it best to raise the challenge as a means of relinquishing her from her title and throne." In a way where -- hopefully -- no one had to die. As to what changed his mind? "The thought of so many dying in this war." He paused for a moment, looking at her. "The thought of harm coming to you." And know, it would be his fault because he had run away and not done something to help. The next question . . . was not one he held all the answers to, but he could give suggestion. "I am not certain," he admitted. He had no mind for politics.
"Perhaps reassemble the council," he suggested. He'd learned that under Morgana's rule, there practically was no council. "They could govern until a more suitable alternative is found." Until someone was put in place. The council would have representatives; people who knew politics. It was not at all common but it was a solution better than Morgana's rule. "Either way, Morgana will no longer have power over the people. Camelot can find peace once more." That was the ultimate goal after all. He softly as he looked at her. "The people can be happy." And by people, he meant her. The implications clear in his words. But despite him leaving -- twice -- he wasn't ready to give up on them: on himself and Guinevère.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur felt glad that he had some answers to her questions due to time spent with the druids. Of course he did not know with absolute certainty, but he could only relay what he had been told. "It is a sacred space, protected by the druids. Magic will not work to pull the stone out." But her next question brought up another concern. That she could kill him there. That she could use magic on him, just as she had in the cells. "It is also a place where violence is not permitted." The only relief found there was that the druids would be overseeing it. So if Morgana tried anything, he would hope that they'd step in.
He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. A reassuring one. Giving her a small smile to continue to reassure her. "I could be killed on any given day," he began to say. Her wrath was extensive, and she would not stop. "So could any one else who she decides is not fit to live." Killing people needlessly. Spreading her cruelty to all grounds. He knew that this was not just about him. "The war is coming. The armies have rallied. Should we not make attempt to end this peacefully?" Just as single combat between two forces could name a winner in a war . . . he saw this as a similar challenge. Instead, it was not a duel. Not in the traditional sense with sword fighting. Merely . . . sword pulling. "It is a risk I am willing to take." Because while he feared for others . . . he feared for her the most.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Her words just further proved what an incredible person she was. And considerate, though he knew why she had wanted him to take the role of king. He still wasn't sure he could, but he would at least do something useful so that the people no longer had to live in fear. "You have such a good heart, Guinevère," he told her with a light smile. "You risked so much, for everyone. Because you wish only to help them; to save this kingdom." And he was indeed ashamed that he had not shared that selflessness. "Perhaps, there is no choice. There is no escape from this." From being hunted by Morgana. From the blood that ran in his veins. He did not want her to feel guilty, or to feel that any of what had happened to him was her fault.
Once again, relief washed over him as she admitted that she too wanted to see him. With her next question, he knew it was time to reveal his plan. "I have challenged Morgana to pull the sword from the stone." Something that only few have attempted, but never succeeded in. "The news will undoubtedly spread by first light, and the people will gather to witness it." If she truly was all that they claimed, she would not be successful. "There will be reason for her to lose support." Because if she could not do it, others would question her right to claim the throne. Because it started with people's strong beliefs in legend and history. They believed in this. It would surely make an impact. Though . . . Arthur knew he conveniently left out the part where he too would have to make attempt. Even though it was insignificant, for he was certain that he would not be able to lift the sword.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Hhe loved seeing her smile. He still remembered the first time she did when they had met at the city. It was an image he memorized and carried with him. Seeing it now, seemed to add a beacon of light amidst all this darkness. "For you," he confirmed, wanting her to know that. Not about to deny that. She spoke of how he had left without saying goodbye and . . . he knew that while he left a letter for her, he felt the need to explain. "I know," he acknowledged. He owed her an explanation.
"I was, ashamed." He still was. "You held so much hope in me, Guinevère. And I know that leaving was a cowardly action. I did not have the strength to look you in the eye and say goodbye." He had been weak, and even more of a coward for not doing so. "I wish, I could have made you proud." Because, he cared about what she thought of him. "The others do not know I am here." He had come to her first. And he would tell her of what tomorrow would bring before all others found out. "I wanted to see you." More than anything, and with his words, he dared to reach out and gently take her hand in his own.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Hhe felt more relieved when she moved closer to him, and he did the same . . . until they were standing in front of each other. And her words, made his heart beat faster in his chest. Causing that same flutter of emotions, as if he was a young boy with his first crush. Yet, it was so much deeper than that. He couldn't explain it, but he just kept being drawn to her. Like a moth to a flame. Despite his leaving, he truly could not stay away. Not from her. He couldn't help but smile as those emotions grew stronger, hearing that she missed him.
Relief continuing to wash over him. "I missed you too," he admitted. She didn't appear angry with him and for that, he was quite grateful. "I thought I could stay away. That it would be easy but . . . turns out, it's not." That he still felt this pull to do something, whatever that may be. "And a great deal of it, has to do with you." He wanted her to know that as well. That this time, it wasn't some emergency that rushed him towards her. It wasn't that he needed her immediate help. She had given him strength in ways that he had not thought possible, and perhaps never truly thanked her for. But he felt it now. As he always did in her company.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She didn't seem to reject his company -- yet -- so he stepped a little further into the room. He wasn't exactly sure he was ready for everyone to know he was here. He wasn't sure he'd ever be ready for everyone to know. "I wanted to help," he revealed. He still didn't know what his future held, but with the challenge, he hoped that at the very least, it would get Morgana off the throne.
And if the only price to pay was that he too had to attempt to pull the sword, then so be it. It would make no difference to the outcome where Morgana was concerned. As long as she couldn't, that's what mattered. "How have you been?" He asked with genuine curiosity. And concern. The last he had seen her was the night after she stabbed Morgana. He supposed that it was at least good that she did not have to feel the burden of taking one's life. For Morgana lived through the attack. A result that Arthur knew some were disappointed with.

That was the most ridiculous thing Arthur had ever heard! A sword in the stone. More ridiculous was the part where someone said he should try to pull it out. No. He would not. Yet . . . Camelot was turning darker and darker. She needed to be stopped and Arthur knew he was no match for her. He was but one man and he didnt even have any magic. But, he didnt need to pull the sword out to prove anything. She did. So Arthur listened and learned. Of the old legend of this sword. It was im a sacred space of peace, where no violence was permitted. Protected by druids who's purpose was this and only this. Arthur knew what he must do. He needed to challenge Morgana.
But no one could know where he was going. And yet even the thought was daunting. So Arthur left; earlier than intended but he left. He needed a few days to himself. He was now fully healed -- at least physically -- and needed to determine what his next move was. If Morgana couldn't pull the sword, surely it would mean something to the people. Perhaps, that was all he need do. So, with the direction given, he made his was to the druid protectors. It was strange for they did not seem surprised to see him. It was almost as if . . . they were expecting him. Arthur didn't have time to dwell on it. He told them of the challenge and they said they would set it forth to Morgana. But that he too would need to make an attempt to pull it out. Arthur agreed, knowing he wouldn't be able to do it. He was not meant for this.
Now, there was only one thing left to do. One person left to see. One . . . he prayed was still safe. One he had not stopped thinking about. Guinevère. He made his way to the ancient castle, noticing the heavy guard and trying to casually approach. Anyone but Sir Leon. He managed to get in as most were asleep at this time. How he was going to find her, he had no idea. But he wanted to tell her of what would happen tomorrow. Of this plan. He wasnt even sure if she wished to see him. Would she be angry with him for being a coward? He was unsure what compelled him to look inside a room but he immediately took notice of her. By the window. Looking as beautiful as ever. He paused there, just gazing at her before he took a deep breath and stepped inside the room. "Guinevère."

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur had not stopped riding until he horse needed rest . . . which simultaneously went with the time that Arthur physically could not move on. The neglected wounds were starting to take their toll and when he inspected them, some seemed to appear as if they were worsening. He thought he might have a broken rib, or something that would heal, but it was getting more serious than that. Combined with the blood loss, Arthur knew he wouldn't be able to journey much longer. Yet, as fate would have it . . . it seemed he would not need to. A small group of people came to his aid, taking him to their camp and . . . it did not take long for him to realize who they were. Druids.
They tended to the wounds that Guinevère had not, and Arthur had mentioned that it was lucky they found him when they did. But, they commented that luck had nothing to do with it. It was fated. There was that word again. Fate. Destiny. The druids knew who he was and spoke of the future that he would bring. Uniting the lands of Albion. Arthur didn't believe it, but he would not offend the people who helped him. In fact, he questioned why they had knowing his blood line. Arthur had spent the next few days there with them. Learning about the kingdom. About the Pendragons. He still held no pride in the name, but he listened. Taking in their words. It appeared it was not only Guinevère or the knights that held some sort of fate in him. The Druids spoke of Camelot, of what he would bring to the kingdom.
Arthur still didn't believe it.
But he remained among them, for it seemed like the safest place. Days started to turn into a weeks, and word was reaching them about the heart of Camelot. About the state of it. It had been discovered quickly that Morgana was not dead, and that she would continue to strike at them. Arthur had told them he wanted no part of this and yet . . . he was hearing tales. Of blood shed. Of her continued search for him. Of her lust for power. Her corruption. Her ruthlessness. How many people had to die for her to be satisfied? It would never stop. And Arthur felt that continued burden upon him. A burden that he thought he could escape by leaving the situation and yet . . . it had followed him here.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur had a feeling that wasn't what she was going to say, but he didn't push it. It would not do them any good. "Good night," he told her in return, though he made no move to rest. He just watched her for a moment, before going back to the pack on his horse. Looking inside, it seemed Leon had packed Arthur's cloak that he had come into the city with. Good. It would cover his blood stained and torn shirt until he found something better. Putting it on, he kept rummaging through the packs to see what else was inside. That is, until he heard the sound of hooves. Arthur was about to reach for his sword but despite only having met him once, he could make out the shadow of the man. Leon said that things were clear, and Arthur just simply nodded.
He asked him for a quill and paper. Leon didn't seem to question why, as Arthur assumed he'd have it to relay messages if need be. Moving to sit, he began to write. A letter expressing his gratitude to Guinevère for all that she had done. An apology for having disappointed her and not being the man that she hoped he could. A vow that he would never, ever forget her. And it was signed, William. He assumed she would burn it the next day but just in case, he signed it with another name.
Folding it, and setting it next to Guinevère's head where she sleep, Arthur then turned to Leon. The knight seemed to be able to tell that he was not going to stay, and the two shared a brief conversation. Arthur also apologized to him, and Leon . . . for whatever reason, still seemed to see him as king. He told him it would be safer as it were if he was not with them, for they would most likely be hunting him down. He bid farewell, wished him luck on his mission, and wrapped his cloak around him before mounting his horse, and disappearing into the shadows.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT No hard choice to make. That sounded simple indeed. That, sounded like most of his life. All of his life, with the exception of the past few days. He thought over her words, truly wishing that circumstances were different. "Perhaps, a life like that will return." But, more than likely separately. Guinevère was going to stay here and fight for the kingdom, where as Arthur was going to leave.
He didn't believe this was a part of him, and . . . it was better than he not force the people into another Pendragon rule. They needed to break free from it and hopefully find a better sovereign to serve them. "You must be tired," he said, realizing he was still holding the cape. "You should get some rest," he suggested. For tomorrow would be a long day, another day. Leon had said they would reach the castle soon enough, and Arthur hoped that for Guinevère so that at least both her and Leon would be safe and do . . . whatever they felt they needed to to save Camelot.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur faintly smiled when she spoke of how she wished he had given her a different name. How she wished she had given him a different name. He felt the warmth of her touch and despite the sensitivity of his skin, he felt nothing but comfort from the embrace. Their close proximity made him want to lean in and kiss her. More than ever. Yet, what would that do? They would go their separate ways, and it would only serve as a painful memory of something that had felt so good -- for he already knew that much without kissing her -- yet could not be. The temptation was strong though, and Arthur wasn't sure he was strong enough to resist it.
"What do you think William and Rosa's lives would have been like?" He asked softly, daring to imagine a world as such. Though, Arthur had imagined one not too long ago. He had only been a blacksmith. He'd thought of finding a woman he loved. Marrying her. Being a husband and . . . being a father. A simple life. Yet, a cherished one. And now . . . what was he? An exiled prince? Bastard of the former king? He was no longer a blacksmith, and no longer a citizen of Camelot. How he wished he could go back and yet . . . somehow still have Guinevère in his life.
