It was another sunny day on the farm near the beach. A family rode along on horses to the beach and the eldest girl, Kayley, who was about twelve, stood up on her horse's back when they stopped. She was wearing a tunic and leggings rather than a dress, and a blue cape. "Father!" She called out.

The mother of the girls, Julianna, got off her horse and then helped her youngest daughter from the horse. "There we are, Guinevere." she smiled.

"Thank you, Mother." the girl said softly, before clinging to her mother's dress, a bit wobbly from the ride. She was about ten years old, and looked almost exactly like her mother only with her father's brown eyes. And unlike Kayley, she was wearing a dress, holding herself as properly as a noble lady should.

The father named Lionel chuckled as he stood in front of Kayley's horse and held out his arms for her as she stood on her horse to jump into his open arms. Kayley jumped into his arms, laughing. Julianna walked down the path with Guinevere. Guinevere watched her father and sister with a soft smile. Lionel laughed as he carried Kayley before the two tumbled down together playfully and rolled down together.

"Father, do you really have to go?" Kayley asked him.

Guinevere knelt politely nearby her father and sister. Julianna watched and smiled.

"I'm afraid I must, Kayley," Lionel softly told her. "You know The King's knights will be here soon."

"Tell me again why you became a knight." Kayley asked her father.

Lady Juliana gave a soft laugh. "Kayley, you've heard it a thousand times!" She smiled.

"Oh, please, Mother, I want to hear about King Arthur again too." Guinevere begged.

"It's fine, dear," Lionel smiled to his wife before he drew in the ground to give a visual. "Well, my daughters, before you were born, the land was dark and treacherous..."The people stood divided, brother fighting brother. The only hope for peace was in the legend of Excalibur, for it was said that only the true king could pull the magical sword from its stone and unite the people."

Kayley and Guinevere both smiled to their father. Julianna sat down on the sand too. She remembered how it was when Kayley was born, those two years were worrisome for her, though luckily, Kayley didn't seem to remember the worry, before Guinevere was born.

"Many tried, all failed. then, on the very day you were born, Kayley, an unexpected hero stepped forth, his name was Arthur, and he was that true king," Lionel continued as he smiled to his lovely wife and two daughters. "With Excalibur at his side he led us out of the darkness, and together we built the greatest kingdom on earth, everyone rejoiced."

Kayley giggled and pulled Guinevere to dance with her. "Camelot!" She giggled.

Guinevere actually danced along, giggling too. She did love to dance. Julianna smiled as she watched them.

"And so these three rings represent the unity of our people," Lionel continued as he used his shield as a demonstration as it seemed to show three interlocked rings. "As a knight I took an oath to protect Camelot, King Arthur, and Excalibur."

A horn sounded not to far away.

"The knights are here." Kayley grinned and got up from the ground.

Julianna helped Guinevere up and they all went up to their horses and mounted them. Guinevere sat properly in the saddle, careful not to have her dress wrinkle. She would miss her father, but knew he always returned to them.

"I must go now, girls, The King has summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot, goodbye." Lionel told his family before kissing his wife and he soon went over to ride off.

Kayley rode her horse after him. "I'm coming with you, Daddy!" She exclaimed.

Guinevere started to follow too, holding out two clean silken handkerchieves. "Daddy, please take this to Arthur, and tnere is one for you for a safe journey!" She exclaimed. One handkerchief was pure white with the inital A on it along with a crown, and the other was a light blue with F for Father on the corner, she had made these herself.

"Yes, when you are old enough Kayley, I will take you to Camelot, I promise," Lionel told Kayley before smiling to Guinevere. "Thank you, Guinevere, I shall deliver them with great care. I love you both."

Kayley smiled happily. "One day, I will be a knight, like Father." She said.

Guinevere returned to their mother's side too. "Maybe you could be my knight, Kayley." she agreed, with a sweet smile to her older sister.

"Let's go!" Lionel told his fellow knights as he soon rode off with them to where they were needed.

Julianna led her family back to their house. And then they set to waiting until Lionel would return to them in six days or so.


The days passed and Kayley was showing her friend how to joust on the practice dummy she had made. Guinevere was helping her mother sweep snow from the path, though wearing a thick cloak to ward off the cold as her body got more prone to illness during the cold months. She gasped as she heard neighing and turned to look at the gate. Lionel didn't seem to come back yet which worried his family of course. Julianna looked curious. Kayley ran forwards, pulling Guinevere along too, excited her father was back not meaning to look like she was ignoring Evaine though. She smiled looking up at the Knights looking for her father.

Guinevere looked too and was the first to notice the ox pulling a cart that had a body on it. "No!" She cried out and dropped to her knees.

"Miss Guinevere?" Evaine asked curiously and worriedly.

The ox may not had expressed himself much, but even he looked grim for the sisters and their mother. Julianna's eyes widened.

"No..." Kayley gasped when she noticed, shaking her head.

Guinevere covered her eyes with her hands with a quiet delicate sob.

"What's happening?" Evaine asked.

The ox looked regretful for the women of Sir Lionel's family.


Soon, the knights built a stone coffin for Sir Lionel and laid his body to rest. Julianna stood nearby, holding Kayley's hand in one hand and Guinevere's with another. Kayley held Evaine's hand as tears streaked down her cheeks. Guinevere stood beside her mother, her own tears visible in her eyes but not able to fall. She may have been the youngest, but she held herself straight deciding that as the one who was planned to be the future queen she would hold it together for her family.

She looked up at the King, sad but strong. Evaine sniffled as she felt so bad for Kayley and Guinevere, but especially Lady Julianna. Even if she didn't exactly know the man, she felt like she missed him just as much as she did with her own heart aching, after all, she was a little misplaced in the world. Arthur looked sad for Guinevere and decided to go and comfort her. Julianna let her youngest daughter go to the King. Kayley held her friend's hand tightly. Guinevere stepped forwards and curtseyed to the King as he approached.

"My dear Guinevere." Arthur bowed royally.

Guinevere looked up to the King. "My Liege, how did my f-father die?" She asked, her voice trying to be brave, but cracking a little over the word 'father'. She placed one of her currently tiny hands on the top of one of his.

"Are you sure want me to tell you?" Arthur asked just to make sure before he would make this day any worse for her and her family.

"Please." Guinevere nodded, then moving her other hand so she was squeezing one of his between both her hands.

"As you wish," Arthur gently told her. "I'm afraid there was a disagreement at the Round Table. Your father sacrificed himself to save me."

Guinevere closed her eyes, a few tears escaping, before she opened them again. "A-At least he d-died protecting his K-King." she said quietly, squeezing his hand for strength not to cry.

"Yes..." Arthur replied. "I am so sorry."

Guinevere pressed a kiss to his ring in thanks. Arthur bowed his head gently and comfortingly for Guinevere as he knew this had to be hard on her and her sister.

"My Liege, I promise you, I will grow to be someone worthy for you." Guinevere whispered.

"Your affections flatter me enough, but I appreciate your ventures." Arthur whispered back.

Guinevere gave a watery smile to him. Arthur smiled back in comfort.

"I'm so sorry." Evaine softly said to Kayley.

Julianna wiped her tears away.


Kayley looked at Evaine. "Stay by my side?" She asked quietly, needing her friend closeby a while.

"I will." Evaine promised Kayley.

Julianna took a look at her daughters, then nodded to the King. They were brave enough for this. Kayley gave a tiny smile, but it faded, though she was grateful for her friend.

Evaine smiled sadly back. "Are you gonna be a knight though?" she then asked.

Julianna accepted the dented shield that was passed to her by one of the Knights. Kayley looked to her friend and nodded.

"Maybe I could join you!" Evaine beamed hopefully as she looked eager to begin her very own adventure.

Julianna held the shield lovingly. Kayley looked sad, but gave another small smile. She, however, went to pay respects to her father.

"I'll let you alone right now then." Evaine decided for Kayley's sake.

"Thank you, I'll be back in a little while." she whispered. She then went to her father's grave, caressed the circle's a little, then couldn't resist running to her horse and crying into his mane fringe.

Evaine nodded as she waited for Kayley since this was more of a personal family moment. Kayley then went to a small pond and looked at her reflection. Evaine wished there was something she could do to help Kayley and Guinevere.

Soon enough, the King and his knights left and Julianna looked sadly at the shield.

"Milady, my wife and I have known you for a while, your daughters are good friends to our daughter, so if you'll allow us a place to live, we would love to help you out here." Evaine's father told Julianna.

Guinevere came to join Evaine and her sister.

"Better?" Evaine gently asked Kayley as she stood between her and Guinevere.

Kayley sniffled but nodded. "I will grow like my father wanted me to, but every year, I'll renew this vow right here." she said quietly but firmly.

Guinevere nodded. "When I'm Queen, you shall be my knight," she told Kayley, then glanced up at Evaine. "Are you going to be a knight too?" She asked quietly.

"Yes!" Evaine beamed as she took out her own sword, though it wasn't a real one and she had made it herself. "When I grow up, I'm gonna be the best knight there ever was while fighting alongside Kayley!"

Kayley actually giggled to that. Guinevere nodded solemnly.

"Adventure Time!" Evaine announced for herself.

Julianna accepted the terms and soon, ten years passed.


Kayley looked to Evaine with a smile. "This year is the year." she told her, now a young woman with her hair tied in a ponytail.

Guinevere was sitting on a high rock nearby, writing something on the Book of Parchment she had.

"This will be quite a noble quest and venture for us both." Evaine agreed in excitement.

"Girls, what are you up to?" Evaine's mother asked as she was about to hand wash laundry.

"Doing our chores and practicing." Kayley smiled.

Guinevere hummed quietly as she wrote, gazing out at the sea, now and then. She tucked her long dark brown hair behind her ears and continued to write.

"That's nice, but make sure you get them all done in time." Evaine's mother replied.

"Yes, Mother." Evaine said respectively for her mother.

"Of course, ma'am." Kayley agreed. She then looked up at her sister.

Guinevere's chores were recently dwindled to evening chores as she spent her days practicing all she would need to be Queen. However, today she had been allowed a day off, but would still have to do the evening chores. Evaine's mother then picked up any clothes she found and went off to clean them.

"All right, chores first, and then adventure." Evaine replied.

Kayley nodded, and started to do her chores with Evaine. Guinevere smiled sadly after she finished her writing. She then gently closed the book. Evaine sighed as she was forced to do chores, but she put up with it to appease her parents.
