 Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT How long had he served him. Too long. He loathed each and every moment of it, but he just had to keep in mind why he was doing it. He would avenge his mother, and all those other lives lost because of his ruthlessness and obsession with power. His greed would be his undoing. "3 weeks," Arthur said stoically. It had taken time to 'earn' Helios' trust, and to move up in the ranks. To be noticed enough to get close to the man.
Warlords hardly trusted anyone so the fast that he was tasked with this deed of guarding his wife in his absence, certainly said a lot. Arthur just hoped he could one day get close enough to him so that he could kill him. "How long have you been married to him?" He didn't know much about the man or his marriage -- nor did Arthur care to know. He inquired more out of wishing to learn just how important this woman was to Helios. So that he could learn how much of an impact her death would have on the tyrant of a man.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur wasn't sure what rebuttle to expect from her. He did know that he was playing a dangerous game with his words, as they came out too naturally. He had to be careful. He did not know this woman but could only assume that having been married to Helios, she was just as ruthless. Instead, she told him that he was sent here to guard, not speak, and Arthur knew that was probably the safest thing to do right now.
Yet, he could not help the smirk that formed on his face as he looked at her. He had a strong feeling this would not be the last of their conversations. "Very well," he told her, taking a couple steps back, though not retreating fully. "As you were." Meaning, he was going to remain here as instructed and whatever she wished to do in her time . . . well, he was not going to take this task lightly. "Do not let me interfere with your day to day tasks." She spoke of bathing and doing . . . other things. Part of him wondered if she was bluffing, or if she really held no shame in doing such things with an audience present.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Honor. That composure he was striving to maintain just became a little more difficult, for the word hit a nerve. Honour. He had once considered himself to be honourable; a trait that his mother had instilled in him. But he knew that in what he was doing, what he was planning . . . there was no honour in it. There was no coming back from it. Honour had died with his mother and without it, he was nothing. He sole purpose of existence was to exact revenge on Helios and then . . . Arthur didn't know what would become of him. Without honour, he was an empty vessel. A beating heart. Breath leaving his body. Yet, without the strength of heart that his mother had raised him with.
He remained silent for a few moments, holding back the true effect the word she stated had on him. But to agree and say he had no honour here, may insult Helios and who was to say she would not report to her husband about such things. But surely, even a warlord knew there was no honour in what they did. Never the less, Arthur would not risk it. "I am good," he said bluntly, knowing he had to focus on that part of what she said. "Good enough that your teases are futile." Unlike however many other men she had strung along in her twisted games. Just like her husband. "Though it does raise the question, of how many others fell victim to your luring." A returned tease -- so to speak -- and perhaps, curiosity. How many guards for his wife did Helios go through?

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT This time, it was more difficult to keep his gaze locked in place, and now follow her as she began to circle him. Her words, the tone in which she spoke them, the way she moved around him . . . a temptress, to say the least. But Arthur stayed perfectly still, slightly tilting his chin up as his eyes remained forward. Any move, any suggestive action, any lowering of his guard, and all he had worked for would be undone. All hope of avenging those dead at Helios' hand, vanished. No. He had to be careful, and not let her words effect her.
So he could do only one thing: ignore them. Not think too deeply upon them. Yet, he wondered. If this was sport to her. Teasing and taunting men, to lure them to temptation only to make claims against them to her husband. Perhaps it was as much of a sport to Guinevère, as forcing men to fight was to Helios. Such a perfect pair indeed. When she circled back around to face him, Arthur looked at her, that same smirk playing upon his features. "Now it is clear, why Helios required a new guard for his wife," Arthur began to say, knowing he had to choose his words with caution. But he also wished her to know, that he was not going to succumb to whatever she seemed to be tempting him with. Perhaps, if his motivations were different . . . who knows.
But he was here for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the enemy. Or in this case, perhaps enemies. "Seems you have your own games you play with the men Helios stationed in this position." His eyes remained on her, working to keep his tone composed and almost . . . casual. "Save your breath, My Lady." He now broke contact of their eyes, looking in front of him, past her. "I am not interested." In her. Well, not in the way she seemed to be teasing him with.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Though Arthur's gaze remained forward, he could feel her eyes on him. Not that she was even trying to be subtle. He just remained perfectly still, not daring to return the same gaze upon her. He knew nothing of the woman, and should he even look at her the wrong way, she could make such a claim to Helios. If the warlord caught even the slightest cause for suspicion, especially when it came to his wife . . . then Arthur would be dead before he drew his next breath. So he knew he had to tread carefully.
To feign loyalty to Helios while also creating some ease between them in the hopes that she would slip up somehow. Surely no woman who married Helios was that intelligent after all -- a bitter thought that remained in the former blacksmith's mind. "Now what kind of guard would I be if I let you out of my sight," he said with a slight smirk. "I shall be remaining here for the duration of his absence." He was going to be as a shadow. She had a screen to change behind, and a bed to sleep in while he would remain at the door. Limited privacy; that was the deal.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur practically scoffed at her words of Helios thinking so little of him to entrust him with such a task. She seemed to meaning to provoke him, and well, Arthur knew he had to remain composed. He was not one to lose control or composure so often. Though he knew that with everything going on, each moment he was here just added to the building rage that would eventually unleash itself when able to confront Helios, and kill him. Or perhaps Guinevère.
"It seems you are the one who thinks so little of yourself if you consider this a menial job." If she thought it was due to a low opinion of him that Helios would entrust him with the protection of his wife. The man did not like to compromise any of what he owned; a wife included it would seem. "But, say what you will, my orders are clear." Which meant, he was not going to waver. Truth was, this would give him close proximity to her, perhaps learn more of the warlord and then . . . strike when the moment was right.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur knew for this ploy to be successful, patience was key. But this, was a waste of time. Waiting on the other end for the woman to open the door, or grant him entrance. Still. He knew he had to act carefully. Cautiously. Helios held great suspicion for many -- as a warlord would. Arthur had not moved through the ranks only to fail just because he could not wait a few moments. But those moments became longer and longer and soon enough, he decided enough was enough. He pushed open the door and stepped inside, seeing the woman emerge from the behind the screen, and make a demand . . . presuming she wished to know what he wanted.
Well, this was Guinevère. He could certainly see the appeal of the woman. She was indeed a beautiful woman. Shame he'd had to kill her. How a woman could marry such a man as Helios, he would never understand. A wife who stood by his side, condoned such actions of the killing of innocent. It was sickening. But then, power corrupted many it would seem. "I was sent by Helios to serve as your personal guard," he told her, unapologetic for entering. "As he is away these next few days," Arthur added on. Probably raiding another town. Just more fuel to Arthur's ever burning anger towards the warlord.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur could still see it so clearly. As if it had just happened a matter of yesterday. Watching the children, slaughtered. Innocent men and women. Only a few spared for their skills in combat. And . . . his mother. Attacked. Brutalized. The horrific scene burned in Arthur's mind; leaving a permanent scar. And all he could do not, was strive for the sole goal of killing the man responsible: Helios. It had not been easy, but Arthur knew he had to look at the bigger picture. He would train. He would fight. His skill as a blacksmith lending aid when it came to being useful in combat. And sure enough, the predictability of a warlord did not fail.
He was rewarded for his skill, moving up the ranks. Arthur knew he had to be patient, though his mind had become consumed with the need to avenge his mother. All lessons of honour and forgiveness thrown out the window the moment his mother was taken from this world before her time. All because of a needless violence. Through Arthur's ascent through the ranks, he had just been appointed to be the personal guard of Helios' wife, Guinevère. Many knew of her, not everyone had such access to her.
To Arthur, she was someone that Helios loved and someone he assumed loved Helios. That was reason enough for her to be a target. Helios had taken the person that Arthur loved most . . . Arthur would return that favour. He would kill the person Helios loved most: his wife. Arthur made his way to the room she was to be in, uncaring if it was hers or a shared chamber. He gave a knock, waiting on the other side to be granted access to the woman herself.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur noticed her tears and was about to ask . . . only to realize the cause of them. Or at least in part. Tears of what he hoped was happiness, though her words seemed to be consistent with this. To hear her speak of tonight being the greatest day in her life, filled him with unimaginable joy. "As it is for me too," he told her, leaning down a little to kiss her tears away, while turning on his side so that he could lay next to her. Though he kept his body close, not wishing to be parted from her. Not wanting any distance between them. For so long, they had to have space, and distance, and be parted from one another. Tonight, it was all about the very opposite of all those things.
Resting his head next to hers, he looked at her with soft intent, his hand caressing her cheek to wipe away any remainder of the tears. She told him that she was glad it was him and . . . it continued to make his heart swell with pride. He had once thought of not being the one she wished to be with. Of her wishing for another. But the thoughts were set to rest, for they were married. She was his wife, and he was her husband. Nothing else mattered. She then spoke of the night at the inn, and he softly smile, recalling that night all too well. And, the embarrassment he'd felt when he had to abruptly move away from her.
"I feared not being able to control my desire for you," he admitted to her, kissing the side of her neck where it was so close to him from this angle. "I'm glad I no longer have to," he said a bit playfully, though, not without truth. He had told her how desirable she was that night . . . and so many other nights, he'd thought of her. Wondered what it wold be like to touch her. To kiss her in ways that they had never kissed. But that night at the inn, had been the first his body had reacted in such a way with her near . . . and it was not a memory that would so quickly fade from his mind.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur's heart ached when hearing Guinevère's words. He had dragged her into this world. While he knew that she wished to be his wife, it had not been about being queen and when he . . . died, that was what he had burdened her with. The responsibility of ruling a kingdom, absent his company. The guilt felt over leaving her in such a way was . . . overwhelming. All he could do was assure her he was here now, but even still, he had no idea for how long. He wanted to trust that he would be here, yet he did not know the constraints of magic. He did not know if this was just temporary or not. He had assured her that he had no intention of leaving her and while that was true, he had made the same promise over a year ago and had still left her in this world. He looked intently at her, feeling the softness of her touch as her hand rested upon his cheek. He leaned forward, resting his forehead against hers.
"I'm here now," he practically whispered. "We have overcome so much," he told her. "Perhaps, love is even stronger than death itself." He liked to believe such a thing and considering recent events . . . it could very well be true. Moving his head back he moved to open the door, waiting for her to step inside before following. He wasn't sure what he expected to see inside; a changed room perhaps. But as he entered, all too casually closing the door behind him, he paused, looking around, taking in the sights of the familiar space. A space they shared for years. "It looks the same," he commented, thinking aloud. He wasn't certain what he thought she would have changed but . . . couldn't help but notice that it looked almost exactly as it had, last time he was here.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur loathed the thought of having to ever move from this seemingly perfect position. And with her curled up closer to him, her hands wandering over him, the impossibility of moving grew stronger. He smirked with amusement upon hearing her speak of how her husband knew how to please her. "Does he now?" He asked teasingly. "He sounds like a lucky man, to be able to do such things." And Arthur knew that he was. Extremely lucky indeed.
"So what it is, that pleases you?" He asked in the same teasing voice, his hand still caressing her skin as he playfully encouraged her to voice what she liked. Truth was, he quite enjoyed learning her body. Her likes and dislikes. Where and how she liked to be touched. Such knowledge one he did not hold prior to their first night together; their wedding night. But as time went on, and with each time they made love, he learned more of his wife's pleasure. Just as he learned more of his own.

for the love OF CAMELOT As if Arthur hadn't been beaming before, he knew the expression grew tenfold when he heard his father speak those words. Words, of being proud of him. That was all Arthur ever wanted! To make his father proud. To be the son that his father always wanted. He wanted to be as strong as him; a great king. And hearing his father speak such things, made Arthur's heart feel as if it was going to explode from his chest. This time, the heavy beating was not due to the adrenaline of victory. It was from the emotional reaction to his father's praise. And, just when he thought it could get no better . . . he spoke of his mother. A topic that was seldom broached, was not offered and Arthur had to bite back any tears in his eyes over the mention of his mother.
His mother, whom he had never met. His mother, who his father now told him would be proud of him. Both parents were proud of him! Arthur just grinned, a wide smile, as the surprise of his father's words subsided. "I am honoured," he told him, voice thick with sincerity. "To make you and . . . mother proud." He almost stumbled over the word, but he said it. And it felt incredible. "It's all I ever want; to be a man you'd be proud to call son." And his father said that! That he was proud. Arthur suddenly longed for nothing than to hug his father, but . . . he tried to remember words of not letting ones emotions control them. To be more composed. How did his father do it all the time?! Suppress such strong emotions?! Arthur felt as if he was going to fail at it!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur gently took his sword as she handed it to him, telling him he would need it. Yet it was her former words that stuck with him far more. He leaned forward, lightly kissing her lips, knowing that this would be the last moment they had alone for at least a few hours. "I love you too," he practically whispered. "With all my heart." Another reminder of sentimental words that they exchanged numerous times over the years . . . before he had died. With that, the two stepped outside to finish the fight. And it didn't take a great deal to do so, with the aid of their knights, and magic, the Saxons were already retreating, and Arthur finished off what he could.
When there seemed to be no more trace of them, the knights still scouring the town to make sure, the question of his presence re-arose. How? When? So many questions in their eyes yet none seemed able to find the words. The council was not far behind them, and Arthur spent the next little while, briefly explaining. Merlin corroborated his explanation, telling them that this was destined. They assured a more in depth conversation would take place but right now, they needed to see to the wounded. The night carried on with checking on the injured, seeing how many casualties they had, accepting that the battle was won but the war was not over and . . . still many trying to process the king's return. Yet with the Queen's confidence in her stance with him, they were more inclined to believe it was him.
When exhaustion seemed to take over many, the night reached it's inevitable conclusion where many began to retire to bed. Arthur spent a few moments speaking with Merlin, before he was ready to leave . . . with Guinevère. Yet, he knew he had to see how she felt about this. Moving closer to her, he tried to determine how best to . . . ask. "If it is too much, Guinevère . . . I understand." If him laying next to her after all this time of being dead was too much . . . if she needed time to process all of this . . . he would respect that. Though, he strongly hoped that it was not. For he longed for nothing than to hold his wife in his arms.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur gave her a small smile when she spoke of how it wouldn't leave her side, feeling her touch upon his skin. In the absence of one sense, he felt as if all others had intensified. That her touch felt softer than ever. "A few days," he repeated, knowing that nothing was certain and that there was always a risk of it being longer. Yet her hopeful voice gave him just that: hope. Perhaps it was dangerous to hold onto but . . . why worry unless there was reason to. Arthur's curled his fingers around her hand, raising it to his lips where he kissed the back of her hand lightly, before just casually resting it on the bed, fingers still intertwined.
He remained composed when she suggested moving, though internally, he felt a sense of . . . panic. The thought of moving from here, of tripping or stumbling and thus, looking like a complete idiot. Looking weak. He would need to practice on his own before attempting to move with company in the room. While he knew Guinevère would never judge him, he still did not wish her to see him acting so . . . pathetic. "Perhaps we can just remain here?" He both questioned and suggested. The fire and table suddenly felt too far away. "Though, you are welcome to come closer," he said almost teasingly. He obviously wouldn't do more than just hold her, but he wished for her to be comfortable as well.

for the love OF CAMELOT The hour was late and Arthur had just returned from another failed mission. Failed, because they had not yet found Morgana. His failure started in not being able to protect her, in letting Morgause take her. And now, each day that passed in which she was not found, continued that failure. Time was moving and the more than went by, the less the chance they had of finding her. But Arthur wouldn't give up. However, exhaustion was taking it's toll on him. He did not remain in the city for more than a day or so before venturing back out there. The fact that Cenred was getting bolder in sending men after them did not help. The small search parties were having to become larger ones just to ward off his attacks.
Once dismounting in the courtyard, Arthur handed off his horse, careful not to awaken too many who were now asleep. He was told his father was in his chambers and expected a full report. This, was the part Arthur hated most. Having to face his father to tell him that he had failed yet again. Arthur wished that he could return with the news that the king longed for: that Morgana was returned home, safe and sound. But today, would not be that day. Tonight, would be another sleepless one. Arthur pulled off his gloves as he made his way to the king's chambers.
He was running out of ways to tell his father. Running out of excuses. Pausing outside the door and took a slow breath and knocked, waiting another moment before entering. "Sire," he greeted, stepping inside, not bothering to freshen up or change out of his chainmail. He needed to tell his father right away. He could not be a coward about this. Closing the door behind him he took a couple of steps in the room and paused. There was no other way to say it. "I'm sorry." Arthur's head lowered, knowing, that in this moment, that was all he could say. That those two words . . . explained so much.

for the love OF CAMELOT There had truly been no feeling like it ever before. This was the first tournament that Arthur had been old enough to enter and . . . not only did he enter, but he had won! That feeling of victory flowed through him, adrenaline pumping through his veins. He had looked at his father applauding and never had Arthur felt more happy. He hoped only to make his father proud and he surely he had done just that, by proving his worth! Proving his capabilities. Proving . . . that he had what it took, to one day be king! When Arthur finally left the arena, he went to his room, unable to stop smiling.
There would be a feast tonight to honour the champion. And, that was him! Arthur had attended so many feasts where others were honoured but not this time! This time, it was him. He was the honoured one! He was the champion! As he set his sword down on the table of his chambers, still beaming, he turned to the door upon hearing it open. When he saw who entered -- his father -- Arthur straightened himself up a little. "Father," he greeted, the smile still unwavering. "I won!" He blurted out, knowing that was obvious but still too excited to contain himself. After all those years of intense training, all those lessons, all that hard work . . . he had won his first tournament! His first tournament, EVER!

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur could see the moment realization dawned on her. Her way her eyes widened and her words slightly trailed off. Her then incomplete sentence, which only left Arthur more embarrassed over the situation. He wasn't sure what the end of that sentence was, and he was even less sure that he should ask. "So . . . that's why I . . . moved away." And why he stopped. Until he could regain composure. Get a better grip on himself. "It was nothing you did." He felt the need to reassure her of that, still remembering her tone and expression when he had turned to face her. It was just . . . her.
His love for her displayed in a more physical form. A form he had as little control of as the feelings in his heart. His body, his emotions had such a natural reaction to Guinevère and this apparently was on exception. It was one of the few times they were alone, away from everything and everyone and the fact that they had been undressed and kissing so intimately after a deep conversation of commitment . . . well, suffice it to say that had been enough to really get his body to react.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She didn't know a Merlin. "Yes," he answered honestly. "He is someone important to you too." Considering they were close friends. Though in hearing that they would be celebrating 20 years since the Great Purge soon, it helped give some insight into where he was. But the question was . . . why was he brought to this particular time period? "He will be coming soon then," Arthur said thinking aloud. Why now? Why here? It was before Arthur had formed the connections that had shaped his life. With Guinevère. With Merlin.
Why, now? He looked at her as she quickly corrected herself, not wishing to offend him. He couldn't help the slight smile. How different she was. From the woman who called him an arrogant pig, and challenged him in ways that taught him so much . . . to, this. Apologizing for a slip of words. "There's nothing to apologize for," he assured her softly. "Magic is never truly gone from Camelot. That is learned the hard way." And would continue to be learned when the celebrations took place. "I'm sorry Guinevère. To put you in this position of telling you something I ask you not to share with others." He could imagine it was a burden, especially now when they hadn't built that trust for one another. That love for one another.

Tag: Guinevère Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT She said she was dressed . . . though Arthur knew that didn't mean her clothes were dry. He felt horribly, and was well aware he owed her an explanation. But how to explain it was the real question. He waited a few more moments, continuing to take slow breaths. Continuing to try and regain some composure. Trying to think of anything other than her in such a way. And finally . . . his body settled. Still. He waited a few additional moments just to be sure, and to somehow think of a way to explain this to her. Eventually, he turned and paused only for a brief moment before reaching for his shirt and pulling it over his head. It was still damp, but it was only fair. He let silence linger for . . . well, he wasn't sure how long. He also was just standing there, keeping some distance between them. Yes. He owed her an explanation indeed.
"You're . . . very desirable, Guinevère," he began saying. Unsure how else to put it. Of course she was desirable, whether she knew it or not. "And . . . " Bloody hell, how did he explain this?! Did she know the full details of what happened to a man when faced with such desire? This wasn't exactly a conversation he'd planned out, or even thought to have. "Sometimes that . . . desire . . . " He felt like an idiot. And this was embarrassing! He was struggling to articulate what had prompted him to break away from her. "Manifests itself in a very . . . " He couldn't look at her, knowing he was looking off to the side, as if trying to explain. Hand gestures wouldn't help. He just had to come out and say it! "Physical way." There! Did . . . she know what he was getting at? He had no idea how clear that was! "For a man." Oh yeah, as if that made it any damn better!

Tag: Lancelot Note: Better layout coming soon! for the love OF CAMELOT Arthur smiled at the knight's concern, which, was understandable. So he worked to quickly put Lancelot's mind at ease. "All is well," he reassured him. "I just came to see how you were settling in," he told him truthfully. "May I come in?" Before, he may not have considered asking . . . back in the days where he was apparently far more arrogant.
Which, Arthur could see the point people had when accusing him of so. Mainly Guinevère and Merlin. But now, he did not take such things for granted. These were Lancelot's quarters, his personal chamber and royal or not, Arthur would not impose himself. He had after all, spoken of equality among them and he meant every word. No one should be judged on what rank they were born into but rather, the actions that reflected what was in their heart. "If you are not too busy," he added on with a slight tease.
