There are so many versions of some stories.
Especially when a prospective to the title of The Pledge is
screwing with reality in Utah.
Lancelot, Arthur, and Perceival stood, ready, awaiting the
charge. Merlin had lowered his magic’s. The time was now. If this day would
produce stories to be retold they would start with this moment. There was
nothing but silence within the kingdom now. Arthur by way of Merlin and Delta’s
plan had sent word to Russia that if he let all leave Camelot outside of the
castle unharmed they would lower Merlin’s magic’s.
Lancelot had warned all Knights what was going to happen.
They were to take all the people of Camelot away from the kingdom as far as
they could go until they heard word from the King or Merlin to return.
Perceival was the first to speak up after all of this had
taken place, ‘I looked through Merlin’s globe of sight. The Vampires have
allowed all to leave to your request my King. Now they have the castle
surrounded. Looks to be around one thousands of them. Their King, this Russia
as Merlin calls him is standing at the main gates awaiting what I do not know?
Do they know how many we are here?’
Lancelot leans against a wall putting on his armored gloves,
‘This vampire leader is trying to think like our warlock and figure out what is
happening against his knowledge.’
Russia stood with his warriors knowing full well Merlin had
a plan, he always had plans upon plans, but he also knew of nothing the warlock
could do that could stop his army. A handful of Knights and feeble magic will
not keep him from re-entering the flesh world.
And nothing could stop him from tasting Delta’s blood.
‘Merlin?’
‘My lady.’
‘What you and Delta speak of is madness?’
Delta turns to Guinevere as Joanshir, Mordred, and Ywain help
Merlin move a number of chairs, bookcases, and a huge filing cabinet against
the chamber door, ‘Not madness, just the things dreams are made of.’
It was sudden. Smoke began shooting up the walls of the
castle transforming into armored vampire warriors as it entered the windows of
the main hall. There they went up against Lancelot, Arthur, and Perceival.
The battle had begun and Lancelot being the born leader that
he was took charge, ‘Arthur guard the door. No matter what you do not move from
it until one of us falls. Perceival to the stairway, I see smoke there
already.’
The King moved back as his friend yelled and Perceival ran
to the stairway just as the smoke Lancelot spotted changed into a link of
vampires lined up the steps in single file, which lead up to the main hall.
All the vampires surged into the hall at the same moment.
All the Knights raised their swords as one. The battle would rage in the favor
of the Knights for over an hour, and then the vampires started to make headway.
Blows hit white armor, men were backed within the room, and two hours after it
began Perceival fell from a cut across his neck.
The battle stopped for a few moments as vampires swarmed
Perceival’s body feeding on his blood and flesh, then more vampires appeared
focused on the sight of Arthur and Lancelot who both stood backed against the
door. All that can be said is that they fought valiantly and with fierce fury
from every inch of life they had left until they both fell and the door was
shattered and smoke charged down the steps towards a wizard’s chambers.
