"It is the traditional way," Gawaine said, impatience
entering into his voice.
"Be patient, Gawaine. She doesn't know. Now, the
swords." After they both locked the skeletal hands around
the swords' handles, they glowed with golden light, and as
they watched, the glow crept out from the handle and was
slowly replaced by a gleaming steel blade. Both knights
now held a complete sword in hand. At the top of the blade,
the letters KAC were engraved.
"What do the letters ..."
"King Arthur's Camelot," Lancelot said as he pushed
the boat into the water. A small current flowed away from
the beach and toward the other knights.
"It cannot be."
The boat drifted toward the middle of the lake. On
the other shore, a knight pulled a bow from his shoulder and
notched an arrow to it. Toward the boat, he fired. The
arrow burst into flames in mid-air and sailed straight and
true to the boat, and when it hit, the straw in the boat
immediately caught fire. Seconds later, flames engulfed it.
"Now, they have peace," Lancelot said.
"Look," Galena said. Through Lancelot's body, she
pointed toward the knights who were riding away. One by
one the first ten knights shimmered, and they and their
horses faded away. Then, the air around the two riderless
horses shimmered, and gradually, two figures replaced it.
Trilesa gasped. On one horse sat a beautiful woman with
long red hair hanging to her shoulders, and on the other sat a
tall, muscled knight with jet-black hair.
“It is them,” Lancelot whispered. “The two who
were closest to King Arthur –“ He paused.
Each raised a sword in the air as Lancelot knelt.
Overcome with emotion, Trilesa also knelt. The two knights
raised their swords.
They lowered them a few inches.
Lancelot felt a tap on his shoulder. He held his breath. And
in unison, they raised their swords again and lowered them.
Lancelot felt a tap on the other shoulder. He closed his
eyes, too overcome to look up. Several seconds passed.
"They're gone now," Gumpley said.
Trilesa stood and stared at what she could see of
herself. "What is this?" She asked.
Lancelot whistled in amazement. Leather-like
armor, vest and pants, covered her. Also, he noticed a
sword hung in a sheath attached to a belt. Neither had been
there seconds before. Lancelot looked at himself.
"You have the same," Trilesa said. "What does it
mean?"
Lancelot's eyes glowed with pride. "It means I am a
knight again.”
“But what about me?”
“You too."
"All of us?" Gawaine asked.
"All of us,” Lancelot said.
"All right, Sir Lancelot, what we do next? ..
