*Cyan grabs the hilt and pulls upward with nothing to lose*
English
-
[b]The sword comes out of the stone easily. The spectators are shocked into silence, wondering how a 12 year old could have pulled out a sword men in their primes couldn't. Soon, however, they begin chanting.[/b] "King Arthur! King Arthur! King Arthur!"
-
*Cyan is a bit surprised as well, then holds the blade in the air in pride*
-
[b]Time seems to skip ahead, and Cyan is sitting at Arthur's desk, staring at Excalibur. Wondering what she should do. A knock comes from the door, and a woman walks in, most likely Arthur's mother.[/b] "Artie? What are you doing?"
-
Oh, um... Not sure really... Lost in thought probably? *She chuckles a little* [i]PLEASE don't let this be like last time.[/i]
-
"Well, I hired a professional to train you in swordplay. After all, a king should be able to fight."
-
Yeah, don't want the blade collecting dust. *Cyan stands up, still not quite used to balls, and picks up Excalibur* Lead the way
-
"He is downstairs, waiting for you." [b]Cyan walks downstairs, to find a man in a black tuxedo, black sunglasses, and black hair.[/b] "Ah, you must be Arthur! I am Guldan." [b]He extends a hand.[/b]
-
*Cyan shakes it firmly* Pleasure. I suppose you heard... Bah, you have. Should we start?
-
[b]He laughs, and nods. He leads you to a courtyard, and draws a sword.[/b]
-
*Cyan draws Excalibur* Who goes first?
-
"The trainee may start." [b]Guldan smiles, bowing, and standing in a defensive stance.[/b]
-
Ah, okay... *Cyan circles the man, then lunges at his leg but quickly stabs at his shoulder before he can react*
-
[b]Guldan turns amazingly quickly, and blocks Excalibur with his sword.[/b] "Ah, Arthur. You seem to have a talent...." [b]Time seems to speed up, and Cyarthur is 17, the day before Arthur's birthday. He/she is talking to Guldan.[/b] "I've trained you well, these 6 years, Arthur."
-
Yes, you have and I thank you for that.
-
[b]He laughs.[/b] "Tomorrow, you become a man, Arthur. And with that, you gain the full responsibility as King upon your shoulders. Are you ready?"
-
Yes. I am ready to be king. I have some big plans
-
"I'm sure you do...." [b]Time skips forward again, and it is Arthur's first day as king. Many had come to the castle, to greet him, and Arthur spoke to every one of them. By the end of the day, he was sweating. But before he could get any rest, a man runs into the castle.[/b] "P-please, my king! My wife is about to be hung... she is innocent! She did not kill the child! Please...."
-
Woah, woah. What's going on. Slow down. Breathe, breathe. Tell me all of it.
-
"Th-they are accusing m-my wife of m-murdering our b-baby...." [b]Tears begin rolling down the man's face. Outside the castle, a woman is about to be hung.[/b]
-
Well let's go outside and make sense of this. *Cyan makes her way out of the castle*
-
[b]The townsmen are yelling at the woman, who is crying. The man seems unable to handle it, and runs up to the woman, attempting to calm her down.[/b]
-
Alright, calm down! Does anyone have any evidence against her?
-
"She was found with a bloody knife in her child's bedroom!" [b]One man shouts out.[/b] "P-please, your highness... I was framed... a man came in while I was asleep... put a knife in my hand after using it against my b-baby...." [b]The woman cries out.[/b]
-
And... You knew it was a guy... When you were sleeping.
-
[b]The woman's eyes widen, and the man runs up to Cyarthur, holding a knife up to his throat.[/b]
