<span style="color: #BF0000">King Arthur smirked at seemingly nothing as if remembering a secret joke. In reality, it was because of how Miss Lovelace had reacted to his presence touching her mind and enabling her to see exactly what he had wanted her to. He sat in his golden throne, Excalibur in hand as he stared at the empty seats surrounding the round table. Arthur placed the sword on the edge of the table and began rubbing his wrists with remembered pain. He had asked to be buried with his kingdom to wait until he was needed again. Now was that time, of that...<br/><br/>"Hello, brother, I see you have awakened."<br/><br/>The voice sent a chill down his spine and he turned. Arthur wondered why he hadn't heard the woman enter his castle. As he turned he saw that she was without any footwear, but she wore leather armor. Arthur sneered inwardly, knowing that he had left his guard down.<br/><br/>"Brother? My only sibling is dead, and she died in the great war before I sealed myself here."<br/><br/>"Yet you see me standing before you? Haven't you realized that you are missing something?"<br/><br/>Arthur leaned forward in his chair, showing his interest and causing a lock of long black hair to fall in front of his face. "Missing what? I have Excalibur, the rest will come in time."<br/><br/>The woman smirked, and he did see the resemblance. She had long straight black hair that fell just past her shoulders. She looked like she was in her twenties, but something in her eyes gave her the appearance that she had seen more than her fair share of things and gave her a wised appearance. "Excalibur <span style="font-style: italic">two</span>!" she said the second word slowly and she moved to take a seat in one of the seats meant for the knights.<br/><br/>"Two?! What nonsense is this?!" Despite himself, Arthur felt his anger slipping. He gripped the hilt of his famed blade so tightly, that his knuckles were so pale they practically glowed against his already deathly pale skin.</span><br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œThis keeps getting weirder and weirder,â€ Lance commented off-handedly, whispering to avoid drowning out the TV. â€œHey have you heard anything about some kind of prophecy coming true? Some people were talking about it but I didnâ€™t get all the details. Something about a king, or whatever? Have you heard anything?â€<br/></span><br/><br/>Dimitri scowled. "I don't believe in such things. They said the world would end just because the Mayans ran out of room on their calender, but here we are. Whatever's going on, there's a perfectly good explanation I can assure you." Bimka wagged his shaggy white tail slightly. The Samoyed was panting despite the cold, but they had been wondering around the city for hours now.<br/><br/>"I suppose you're thirsty," Dimitri said, as he scratched the dog's ears. Saying it reminded him of his own hunger. "Well, we've obviously just met, but perhaps if something fated is going on we should stick together? Least ways, it couldn't hurt, especially since this is our second meeting. I think we should go grab a bite to eat. I'd be willing to pay, but we'll have to stop by my hotel room."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">That is, assuming the card reader still works... Damn technology, why must you act up now?</span>the Russian student thought with a sigh.<br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Well i found her a long time ago though not in this plane I'm not sure how she got here I'm guessing it was due to that light." she sighed still confused, "Well it's nice to meet you Danielle and don't worry she won't hurt you just lay about until either she needs food or we need to move outta here." Just as she said that the two women heard a loud grumble sound that sounded like thunder.</span><br/><br/>Dani was about to respond, but jumped at the loud sound. The sky was clear, and she looked towards the dragon, realizing it must have come from her. "Are you sure she won't hurt me? That sounded like a very unhappy growl!"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"The name's Lucy Pendragon, nice to meet you. I would like to sincerely apologize for not greeting you before. I'm not really one for the supernatural even though strange things have been happening lately."</span><br/><br/>"Pendragon?" Dani repeated. "As in... Hmm, where have I heard that name before?" She asked aloud. "Oh well, I guess it's not really that important. My name's Danielle. I came here for vacation, but... something strange is going on. A blinding white light appeared and so did that dragon and Stonehenge looks as though it was just built. Since Stonehenge is the only... building -ish thing here, I wonder if we went back in time or something? Or maybe this is the start of the end of the world? Another odd thing is that I have no cell service either, even though I just called home yesterday."<br/><br/>Dani shook her head as if to clear it. "Sorry, I'm rambling." She gave the newcomer a friendly smile.
