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
which when entered seemed more like a small church were Ywain, Knight of the
Round Table and son of Morgan. Also by his side were Mordred his half-brother
and one of the most noble of Camelot’s Knights.
Ywain had 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.
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 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 would have had him wishing to join his
comrades above in the defense of the kingdom.
But he has his orders also to where he is now.
And with his orders and by his blood he will defend his
brother until his death if needed.
