QUEST FOR CAMELOT (DP STYLE)
A very long time ago, in an era known as the medieval ages, a young 10 year old girl with black wavy hair and wearing an orange and yellow tunic with grey pants, a red cloak and short brown boots was riding on her horse alongside her father who was wearing a blue tunic with grey pants and blue boots. Another woman wearing a rose pink medieval dress, pink cloak and had short brown hair was riding on her own hose alongside them.
The girl's name was Valerie Grey, her father was Damien Grey, one of King Fright Knight's Knights of the Round Table and Angela Foley who was Valerie's aunt.
They rode down to the beach, just down the hill where their home was. Valerie laughed as she jumped off her horse and Damian caught her in his arms. They all laughed as Damian and Valerie fell down and rolled down the hill.
After finishing laughing, Valerie sat up from the grass and asked, "Father, do you really have to go?"
Damian chuckled as he sat up and then answered, "Yes sweetie, I must. The King's knights will be here soon and I have to head to Camelot. But you won't be alone here you know. You've always got your aunt, uncle and your cousin Tucker as well."
"Can you tell me again why you became a knight?" Valerie asked, pleadingly.
Angela laughed at her niece's enthusiasm and said, "Valerie, you've heard that story a thousand times."
"It's fine Angela." Damian said with a warm smile.
He drew three individual circles in the sand as he began the story, "You see my daughter, before you were born the land was dark and treacherous. The people stood divided, brother fought against brother and there was nothing but horror and bloodshed. There was only one hope for peace and that was in the legend of the sword known as the Soul Shredder. It was said, that only the true king could pull this magical sword and unite the people."
"So…anyone could've pulled the sword out of the stone?" Valerie asked.
"Yes and many tried, but all of them failed." Damian continued. "But then on the very day that you were born, an unexpected hero stepped forward. His name was Fright Knight and he pulled the sword from the stone, showing everyone that he was that true king. With the Soul Shredder at his side, he led us out of the darkness and together, we built the greatest kingdom on Earth. Everyone rejoiced for the people were finally united."
"Wow! Camelot!" Valerie exclaimed as she danced around the giant circle her father then drew and then fell down and giggled.
Damian pulled out his shield and showed her the three connected circles on it as he finished, "These three rings represent the unity of our kingdom. As a knight, I took an oath to protect Camelot, King Fright Knight and the Soul Shredder."
The sound of a horn could be heard in the distance, signalling that the other knights had arrived for Damian.
They all climbed on their horses and began riding up the will to meet up with the other knights. Damian then said, "Well I must go now Valerie. King Fright Knight has summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot."
He gave Angela a hug as she said, "Be safe brother."
Damian nodded and gave Valerie a tight hug. His daughter then said, "I want to come with you daddy."
Damian chuckled and said, "When you're older Valerie. I will take you to Camelot, I promise. I love you very much my daughter and promise me to always be the strong brave girl I know you are."
"I promise." Valerie said as she hugged her father once more.
Damian then rode off and joined the other knights. Valerie watched her father go with a smile and said to Angela, "One day Aunt Angela, I will be a knight like my father."
Damian and the other knights which included Frostbite, Pandora, Ghostwriter, Jeremy, Lancer, Amorpho, Zortheus, Phoenix, Jacob Baxter, Walker, Justeco, Archer Ghost, Wulf and Elliot travelled down the main road to Camelot in three days. Once they arrived at Camelot, everyone cheered for the Knights of the Round Table and it was also a special day, for they were going to divide the lands equally amongst the people.
KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE
United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No-one shall be greater than all
Over at the stables, a ten year old boy stood in front of a makeshift practice dummy and wore a makeshift armour and shield. Using a staff, he blasted the stick off the dummy with ghost energy. He stopped and smiled as he heard the sound of the knights' arrival.
United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No-one shall be greater than all
As the knights climbed off their horses, they all cheered as they saw standing at the top of the stairs was King Fright Knight and Clockwork, Master of Time, magical arts and his most trusted advisor and friend. Fright Knight waved and smiled at everyone. It had been ten years since he pulled the magical sword the Soul Shredder and bought them all together as one kingdom.
FRIGHT KNIGHT
It's been ten years, we celebrate
All that made our kingdom great
Liberty and justice for all
The knights all followed Fright Knight inside and headed for the great hall where they had their meetings. Out of the shadows of the hallway, a shadowy figure came out, with white silver hair and a goatee. His name was Vlad Masters and although he was one of the Knights of the Round Table, he had selfish ambitions and goals and didn't fully believe in all the ideals and beliefs this kingdom had.
This one had a smug grin on his face and silently followed behind the others.
Each of us will now divide
In equal shares our countryside
Promising equality for all who reside
Fright Knight opened the large doors where the large round table stood. Vlad stood behind and curled one of his fists tightly, while the others walked up to the table and stood at their seats.
FRIGHT KNIGHT AND THE KNIGHTS
United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No-one shall be greater than all
Fright Knight raised the Soul Shredder in the air and then the other knights raised their swords in the air and placed them in the sheaths that were attached to their seats. Each of them then raised their shields in the air and called out the words and ideals that they lived by.
"Liberty." Pandora said.
"Justice." Frostbite said.
"Trust." Jeremy said.
"Freedom." Lancer said.
"Peace." Amorpho said.
"Honour." Walker said.
Goodness." Justeco said.
"Strength." Wulf said.
"Valor." Damian said.
They all then gently placed their shields down on the table gently. However Vlad slammed his down on the table hard as he shouted, "ME!"
All the other knights glared at his rudeness as they all sat down. Vlad said as he then sat down, "Charming song everyone, but we have some business to attend to. I have waited a long time for this day. What about my new lands?"
Fright Knight shook his head at Vlad and said, "Sir Masters, always thinking of yourself. As Knights and as King of Camelot, our obligations are to the people. The lands shall be divided according to each person's needs."
All the knights nodded their heads and agreed with their king, except Vlad who didn't like the way Fright Knight was thinking.
"Then I need more than everyone." Vlad stated, his grin dropping to a glare. "I wouldn't have supported you all these years, if I had known you were running a charity."
"The King has decided!" Damian snapped. Showing that none of them were liking Vlad's attitude at all.
"Then maybe it's time for a new king and I vote for me." Vlad said, now showing his true intentions.
Damian stood up and said to Vlad defiantly, "The only king I will ever serve is Fright Knight. I will never serve a false king."
Vlad suddenly changed into his ghost form and formed a spiked mallet out of his ecto energy and roared, "Then you can serve a dead one!"
He charged straight for Fright Knight, hell bent on destroying him. All the knights stood on the table and charged at Vlad, ready to defend their king. Damian grabbed his shield and was the first one to stand in defence of Fright Knight, but Vlad hit the edge of his shield and struck Damian right in the head, sending him crashing to the floor.
Vlad blasted Walker out of his way and charged straight for Fright Knight. Fright Knight acted quickly and grabbed the Soul Shredder from his sheath attached to his seat. Before Vlad could even strike, the magic of the sword reflected his strike and sent him flying in the air before crashing on the floor.
Fright Knight held his sword ready and shouted, "Vlad, you are hereby banished from this kingdom forever! Leave and never return!"
Vlad growled and said as he flew out the doors, "Mark my words Fright Knight, one day that sword will be in my hands and all will be mine!"
The other knights threw ecto-blasts and spears at him, but he made his escape before they could even touch him.
They all then looked down at Damian. He was not moving, nor breathing. Fright Knight asked Frostbite, "Frostbite, is he…"
Frostbite looked over at Damian and tried to feel a heartbeat. But there was none. He looked up at everyone and shook his head.
They all gasped and then looked down solemnly. Damian Grey was dead.
