Heaven's Mistake
- - -

(Nero Voiceover): Legends are not made...they are born, Arturius, from the day he was born, seemed almost pre-destined to be a great leader; to face seemingly overwhelming odds only to come out triumphant. After the Saxons fell to his legendary knights he unified the once divided lands forming a place of peace and honor. Continuing the tradition of knights, Arthur awarded the strongest, smartest, most honorable men to serve in his court.

The funny thing about legends is....they always have another chapter...

Chapter One: Wishes and Farewells
King Arthur’s Court, Round Table
IC: King Arthur, Bors, Galahad, Gawain

King Arthur stood before his most trusted men as they had gathered around the holy round table. He looked each of them square in the eye as he began his tale, bending over slightly, resting his hands upon the surface of the table.

“Knights... Brothers in arms... Your courage has been tested beyond all limits and have proven yourselves time and time again. This is why I am asking you to accompany me on this mission. The Lord God came to me in a dream and set before me a task of the utmost importance.” He paused and glanced around at each of them once more. Bors, Galahad, and Gawain knew what was in store. Any speech from Arthur that started off like this always meant sacrifice.

“He has instructed me to travel to Canterbury…there is a monastery there which holds the path for us to take…” He straightened himself up. “We search for the Holy Grail. The cup Jesus Christ used in the Last Supper. Men have searched for it since day one for its legend on bestowing eternal life upon whomever sip from its righteous rim. Men have become corrupt and obsessed…even to the point of murder. They will stop at nothing to get their hands upon it.”

“What makes us so different from them then?” asked Bors. He knew others were thinking the same. “If we are searching for it ourselves…”

Arthur turned to him. “We are not seeking it for self glory…but for the glory of God.”

“Your God, Arthur…” Gawain sat forward. “You ask us…some who do not even believe in God…” He gestured over at Nero. “Some who have no religion…” He gestured to Theodred. “Some who have embraced Roman Catholicism.” He gestured to Geoffrey. “And those few who have chosen to stick with their own gods.” He then gestured to the three original knights. “The only one remotely qualified is Aiden…” he said as he glanced over at the man.

“You speak the truth Gawain…” Arthur said. “But out of all my knights, I trust all of you the most and would want no others by my side. The fate of this quest is uncertain and death is always a possibility but I ask that all of you think about the matter. I leave tomorrow when the sun is high in the sky. I will wait in here for those who decide to join my quest.”

Chapter One: Wishes and Farewells
King Arthur’s Court, Round Table
IC: Nero

Staring almost blankly at Arthur as he spoke about his dream, the new quest which would follow. A god that allows people all over the world to be slaughtered in horrendous ways…is no god. If this had been anyone else he would have laughed and called them mad. This man was not a normal man; he was a leader, a king, and a friend. Closing his eyes briefly allowing his frustration to die down before attempting to say anything. “Like Gawain said...Your God, Arthur” pausing for a moment to look into Arthur’s eyes “But…I am a knight, I follow orders” pulling his eyes away towards his drink, raising it into the air “To the journeys and battles that await…in which we will all to gladly meet head on “ smirking at Bors.

"You have my arch and sword Arthur... I bring luck in battle and quests..." he said to the king. If the Holy Grail was made of metal it would be easy for him to get it no matter how well protected it was, but if the legends about it being made of wood were true then it would require more dextericity.

"Wherever you takes us I'll follow..."

"If it is The Lord God's will, and as I have made habit trust you with my life and my honor that your decisions are, that you will not err in judgment, then you also have my sword," Aidan Of The Emerald Flame, the dour and religious Irishman, took from his seat and gave a polite bow to Arthur, sword held close to his heart.

"As this quest is held, so is my sword," Aidan announced, taking his seat once again.

"I would gladly follow you to the ends of God's green earth, to hell and back for such a glorious quest," Aidan said, and then gave what was the closest thing he could muster to a joke, "but let us hope it does not go that far," Aidan noted with a slight chuckle.

“My lord as ever you have my hammer at your side. I will follow you to the ends of the world through fire and water you will have me at your side.” Said Theodred standing and bowing his head to Arthur and a stamp of his war hammer on the stone floor to show his approval. “If you need a wall at your back I will be there to support you.”
He then takes his seat looking at those who haven’t yet said anything on the matter

Arthur let a smile flash upon his lips as the knights swore their alligence to him and his quest. "Knights, I thank you for your words. Your presence is, as always, an honor."

"I meant no disrespect Arthur," Gawain said as he sat forward. "You know we would ride to the ends of the earth with you." He managed a smile.

"Aye," agreed Bors with his smirk of his. Galahad nodded his agreement.

Arthur smiled. "Aye, I am aware..." He looked each knight in the eye. "You know what I ask of you and have embraced this opportunity with open arms. Sleep on the matter...and I shall see you on the morrow."

Each one of the knights left to go and do whatever they pleased for their last night alive - as far as they knew anyway.

IC: Arthur, Guinevere

Arthur turned his eyes to the heavens. "Oh, merciful God, I have such need of Your wisdom and strength now. Not for myself, but for my knights. Grant them the wisdom and strength for this mission and I will pay You a thousandfold with any sacrifice You ask of me. I ask no more than that."

"Always praying," came a voice from the doorway. Arthur looked up to see Guinevere's smiling face.

"Aye...but do you expect anything less?" He asked as he made his way to her. "Especially in a time when their very lives may be lost..."

"No..." she said and looked into his eyes before leaning in and planting a kiss upon his lips. "But what tomorrow brings...we do not know..." she took his hand and lead him from the great room.

IC: Aidan Of The Emerald Flame

Aidan stood from his seat, depositing his sword into his sheath. There was nothing to sleep on for him, he was ready to go on the quest with no qualms from the moment it was proposed. Call it Faith, call if foolhardiness, but Aidan had it in spades when it came to God and King Arthur, and if both called him to a mission? It was a done deal.

He looked around, there were few to converse with, Arthur having absconded. Pagans, heathens and the Godless. While he held no contempt for them, none were of his kin, and Aidan a solitary man.

"I wish you all a good night, I will be in my quarters, to pray. Anyone wishing to join me, may," Aidan said courteously, setting off for his quarters.

IC: Vixen

Vixen had asked for council with Artur in his chamber, she was granted this, but rather hoped that she would be admitted along with the quest, despute her....gender.

When she was met with the prescence of the King, she curtsied graciously and stood, addresing him formally.

"Dearest King," She said. "I wish to join your holy quest, but I fear I am not to your expectation nor needs." She continued.

"But there is one thing I do possess that may be of interest to your Holiness." Vixen said, beggining to prepare herself for her display of power.

She breathed in and looked at the jug on the table beside them. Slowly but surely, the water rose out of the jug, hovering in a large ball of liquid. Releasing, the water slugged back into the jug.

"The water's of the world are at your disposal, like myself." Arabella said, curtsying once more.

He stood up out of his seat grabbing his goblet and finishing his ale off looking at Aidan as he offered anyone to join him in prayer. For one time in his life he considered a religion feeling that if Arthur found it good enough to follow there must be something to it. However once again he decided against it and walked towards the courtyard to the local inn to get a drink using his war hammer as a staff as he walked out the door

Being summoned when he was with the Queen did not make him happy as King Arthur made his way back to the Round Table to be greeted by a woman. Why a woman was brought before him in the great hall, was beyond him.

King Arthur watched the display of the young woman with interest. When she finished, he scratched his chin. "You have an extraordinary talent, milady." He said, not denying it. "However, this quest is not for the faint of heart and calls for wits and tactics beyond the normal. I'm afraid I will have to decline your wishes...go...return to your family." He turned, heading to the door when he stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"You would do great service to your country if you remain here. As is, this dry weather is not helping our crops...perhaps you may use your talent to replensh them...good day..." He said and disappeared.

Vixen was furious, her family had always been devoted to battle, religion and their king and he had just turned down a powerful ally. Her brow creased as he left, giving away her discontent and anger.

The king had lost a follower and gained an enemy, "Hell knows nothing like a woman scorn" She muttered under her breath.

With that, she too dissapeared into the shadows, commencing the plot that would lead to the downfall of this quest.

"I see you have a warrior's heart..." said Geoffrey. "Too bad you are in a woman's body..."

"What troubles you and why are you so upset?..." said Geoffrey and continued. "I guess you wanted to come in our quest... and if you really wish to come I have a deal for you that you may like..."

"What is this offer you speak of?" She enquired.

She was weary of this Knight, he had knowledge of her ever growing distaste for their King. He could alert anyone and get her slaughtered, but he was not doing so.

"I know that your heart is not white, there are shadows in there like the very same that cover us now..." said Geoffrey in a serious tone. "However I do believe your intentions for our quest are pure and I am of the opinion that everyone should be granted a chance even if their gender is a problem, everyone should be allowed to fight for the kingdom they love..."

"My offer to you young lady is to disguise... Come to this quest as my squire... I will make the necessary adjustments to you armor and we will cut your hair... You're not tall or strong like a warrior but the knights will mistake you as a young squire..." said Geoffrey. "You will aid me in battle in return that you do not speak or make yourself notice because then it would be my neck and your in risk..."

He looked at the lady trying to see if it was a good thing to do and then spoke.

"What do you say?"

As dawn set in, Arthur woke, walking down to the Great Room and sat in his chair. His knights had all night to do as they pleased. They each pledged their loyalty and commitment to this mission and he knew without a doubt that they would hold up their end of the bargain.

Horses were being prepared as he waited, supplies stocked, weaponry available...each horse custom prepared for each knight to his liking.

A few hours later, Bors, along with Gawain, were the first to enter. Head ringing with a slight hangover, Bors plopped himself down while Gawain rolled his eyes with a chuckle and sat in his. Now all they had to do was wait for the others.

Vixen was perplexed, Geoffrey had a point. But she was beyond that, she didn't desire to play dress-up and follow unheard of. She wished to parade around as the head woman, the first knight of her kind. She wanted Revenge.

The King had humiliated her and he was to pay for it, dearly.

"What do I say?" She asked rhetorically.

"I was asked by the King to remain here and watch over the land, it is with great honour and respect that I wish to do so." She said cunningly.

"Gooday to you Sir Knight" She said, curtsying and then walking away.

Aidan strolled into the court, back straight and head held up high. Unlike some others, who Aidan looked to with condescending eyes, Aidan had not drunk a drop over the night. Aidan walked by Theodred, Bors, and Gawain. Aidan had compulsively checked to see that everything was in place- his supplies of medicinal herbs which he had learned of from his apprenticeship with the medicine man, dried food to prevent lost time hunting, his horse with a beautiful emerald seat, skirt and pommel, everything he needed.

Aidan took a seat, putting his hands behind his head and sitting back. "We're waiting on the rest of the Knights," Aidan said blankly, he didn't care enough about the rest to even memorize their names.
