<em>"Excalibur. I've come along way, to seek your audience---"</em><br/><br/>"Fool!"<br/>The legendary weapon boomed before the poor girl could finish her sentence, jutting the curved handle that bone-white cane just under her nose and effectively cutting off her words.<br/><br/>"I know why you are here."<br/>He spoke with an air of certainty, twisting the cane so it mushed her lips and bumped against her nose, gazing at her with his unblinking eyes.<br/><br/>"You are here to bear witness to my great legend."<br/>He released her face from his cane and twisted around, taking broad pacing steps as if contemplating.<br/><br/>And before she could respond...<br/><br/>"You fool!"<br/>Once again the cane found her mouth and shut her up, prodding the curved end into her face every few words.<br/><br/>"I am far too much for a mere woman to handle.  You've wasted your time coming here."<br/>And, again, before she could respond, Excalibur twisted around and strolled a few steps away from Sarah, twirling his cane... leaving her with her fate.
