Tin Universe Daily #142
There are so many versions of some stories,
Especially when a prospective to the title of
The Pledge is screwing with reality in Utah,
Deep
within the castle, below the dungeons, and past the depths of the cold of the
Earth to the chambers of Merlin. Sitting in a chamber that if you entered would
seem more like a small church was Ywain, Knight of the Round Table and son of
Morgan. And by his side was Mordred his half-brother and one of the most noble
of Camelot’s Knights.
Ywain
has a charge as The Protector And Guardian Of The Nine Maidens Crystal. The
most powerful object in Merlin’s keeping and considered by many to be one of
The Seven Treasures Of Creation. But with The Nine Maidens Crystal it has more
to do with the power it contains within it than simply the sight of its beauty
or its rarity of existence.
Sitting
within this church like chamber Ywain studies scriptures and other writings
given to him by Merlin to pass the time. He is not allowed to leave the chamber
for any reason and if he does so his punishment is death on orders from King
Arthur himself.
And
with his charge as protector of the crystal, Ywain has become a Knight who has
never known combat, but is still one of the most respected of the Round Table
Knights. Other Knights come to him for counsel and teachings and he has taken
an oath of chastity to keep any temptation to come between his desires and the
protection of the crystal.
That
oath really pissed Perceival off but that is a story we do not have the time to
go into here.
Mordred
on the other hand, a noble and brave Knight he maybe, could never have taken on
the charge his half-brother lived day in and day out. Mordred has always had
this gut battle deep within himself that has had him throughout his life trying
to prove himself over and over again and is known as the Knight who never sits
still for very long; so, putting him in a small chamber below the depths of the
castle has him wishing to join his comrades above in the defense of the
kingdom.
But
he has his orders also.
And
with his orders and by his blood he will defend his brother until his death if
needed.
