Chapter 52 - The Rouge Knight

Camelot is in ruin. All the knights that died during Camlann have been buried, and now. Madoc sits on the throne. That formerly belonged to King Arthur. Making Madoc the new King of Camelot.

Besides the throne stood some of the knights that had survived Camlann. Knights such as Sir Bedivere, Sir Tom, Sir Loholt, Sir Mabon ap Modron, Sir Gwyn ap Nudd, Sir Geneir Gwystyl, Sir Escanor the Large (Who was knighted by King Madoc), Sir Manawydan fab Llyr, Sir Sagramore, Sir Tom Thumb, Sir Lanval and Sir Azrael.

On the other side of the room stood the head physician of Camelot, Amir, and besides Amir stood the person who made sure that King Madoc did not die during Camlann, the lady Morgause.

The doors to the throne room went open, and in walks Jacob with Sir Lancelot in chains.

Jacob throws Lancelot down on the ground in front of King Madoc, and then Jacob says " I have brought him, my King "

Jacob then goes to stand with the other knights. Right beside his squire, Nungal.

Nungal wanted to kill Sir Lancelot, but Jacob held him back.

" Sir Launcelot du Lake. Sir Loholt has informed me of yours and lady Guinevere's affair while you were away from Camelot. Do you deny this accusation " said King Madoc.

" No my King, but If I may ask. Where is my son Galahad " said Sir Lancelot.

" Galahad is currently in Egypt under pharaoh Tutankhamun's watch and care. Sir Galahad has been made aware of the situation, and has decided to stay in Egypt for awhile " said King Madoc.

" I see. Then what is my fate? " said Sir Lancelot.

" Before that. I asked, my dear knight Jacob to bring something else alone with you. Jacob did you bring it? " said King Madoc.

" Of course, my king " said Jacob. Who then walked over to King Madoc. Who was now standing in front of Lancelot.

Jacob then held forth a sword, and all Lancelot had to was " That is Excalibur "

Madoc took hold of Excalibur by the its helt, and then said " Before we rode to Camlann to fight with Sir Mordred and his army. Loholt told us about your affair with lady Guinevere, but the two of you were no longer in Camelot. So it was with a heavy heart that my brother rode forth to Camlann, and as the new King of Camelot. I hereby sentence you, Sir Launcelot du Lake to forever serve Camelot and her people as the rogue knight, and you shall do so while wielding Excalibur, as a constant reminder that you in part killed its former owner, my brother, and the former King of Camelot " said King Madoc.

Jacob released Sir Lancelot from his chains.

Lancelot then took Excalibur with both his hands, and then said " I accept my fate. I shall hereby serve Camelot and her people as the rogue knight, and I shall do so while wielding Excalibur " said Sir Lancelot.

Lancelot then stood up, and walked over to the other knights.

King Madoc looked at at Jacob, and then said " What of lady Guinevere? "

" The lady Guinevere is currently in her homeland. Shall I go and get her, my King " said Jacob.

" No. Leave her be. For now the lady Guinevere shall remain in her homeland " said King Madoc.

" Yes my King " said Jacob.

Madoc then went back and sat back on his throne with his DragonExcalibur at his side. King Madoc then said " Camelot and her people shall prosper once more! "

Everyone in the throne room bowed in front of King Madoc, then all of them yelled " Long live King Madoc! Long live the present King of Camelot! "

Later, at a house within one of Camelot's forests.

The lady Morgana is sitting in the house watching the fire from the the fireplace.

The door to the house then opens, and in walks Jacob.

Lady Morgana does not even turned around. All she says is " Have you came to kill me? "

" No " said Jacob.

" Then why have you come "

" I have come to punish you "

" Are you going to rape me. Go ahead. I won't stop you. After all. I finally got my revenge on Arthur "

" And now what "

" Now I can die knowing that Accolon can rest in peace in Avalon "

" Like I said. I am not going to kill you "

Morgana stood up from the chair she was sitting on. She now stood face to face with Jacob.

" Then why are you here " said lady Morgana.

" I will show you " said Jacob.

Jacob then snapped his fingers, and then started to walk towards the door.

Lady Morgana looked confused.

" Just what did you do? "

" I made it so that you can never leave this house. You will never age in this house. You will never be hungry or thirsty in this house. All you will see in this house. Is your beloved Accolon dying over and over again " said Jacob.

Lady Morgana had a look of horror on her face.

Lady Morgana rushed over to the door, but Jacob closed the door and walked away from the house, and all Jacob could hear from the house was the screams of lady Morgana. Filled with horror and despair.
