"I...I think I can pull the sword."
[i]Did I actually speak there? Respond? Oh no, this is worse than I thought...[/i]

[b]The man laughs.[/b] "Well, then, kid. Go on, give it a try!"
-
[i]Oh no.[/i] [b]Yuria, or Arthur, walks over to the sword in the stone.[/b]
-
[b]People in the crowd point at Yuria. Some laugh, some sigh. What was this kid thinking, trying to pull out a sword people in their prime couldn't?[/b]

-
[b]The sword comes out easily. The onlookers are shocked into silence. Then, a few seconds later, they begin chanting.[/b] "King Arthur! King Arthur! King Arthur!"
-
[b]YuriArthur looks around in joy, holding the holy sword.[/b] [i]Wow. This is something.[/i]

Edited by Cazberry Pie: 7/27/2016 2:14:16 AM[b]Time seems to skip by, and Yuria is sitting at Arthur's desk, looking at Excalibur. Wondering what to do.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria sighs.[/b] [b]She gets up.[/b]
-
[b]A knock at the door. A woman comes in, presumably Arthur's mother.[/b] "Artie? What are you planning to do?"

Edited by Orn: 7/27/2016 2:18:57 AM"Nothing, mother. Just...thinking." [i]HELP ME!!![/i]
-
"Dear, you pulled the sword out. I think you need to train with it. I hired a professional, he's downstairs, waiting."
-
"Oh! That sounds great. Thank you, mother." [b]YuriArthur gets the sword and goes downstairs.[/b] [i]Oh no...[/i]
-
[b]A man wearing a black tuxedo, black sunglasses, and black awaits. He smiles as he sees Yuria.[/b] "Hello! My name is Guldan. You must be Arthur."
-
[spoiler]Oh shit.[/spoiler] "Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you, Guldan."
-
"Well then, your highness, we best get started." [b]Guldan leads Yuria to the courtyard, and raises a sword.[/b] "You may have the first move."
-
"Oh. Ok." [b]YuriArthur approaches, swinging at Guldan.[/b]
-
[b]Guldan easily blocks.... Time speeds ahead once more, and Yuria is 17, the day before Arthur's birthday. Guldan is speaking to her.[/b] "I've trained you well, these 6 years. Tomorrow, you become a man, and with that, you bear the full burden of the King. Are you ready?"
-
"Yes. Thank you for everything...it means a lot."
-
Edited by Cazberry Pie: 7/27/2016 3:02:04 AM[b]Guldan laughs, and pats Yuria on her/his head.[/b] "I do hope you are a good king, Arthur...." [b]Time speeds up, and it's Yuria's first day as King. Many people run up to her, and she is somehow able to solve their problems with ease. One man runs up, at the end of the day.[/b] "Please, your highness.... My wife is innocent, she didn't... she didn't murder the child!"
-
"Slow down. What do you mean she didn't murder a child?"
-
"I-I... the townsmen are putting my wife on trial... they said she murdered our child... but she didn't! She was framed! I swear!" [b]Tears run down the man's face.[/b]
-
"Lead me to where she is. Please."
-
[b]The man leads Yuria to the courtyard, where his wife is about to be hung.[/b]
-
[b]YuriArthur is shocked.[/b] "Woah, woah..." [b]They seem to be addressing the townsfolk.[/b] "Why are you hanging this woman? Is there evidence to support that she murdered a child?"
-
"Yes!" [b]One calls out.[/b] "She was found with a bloody knife in her hands! The day after!"
