King Arthur HSA
You extend your hand toward the knight sprawled on the ground. As you pull him up to his feet, you hear jeers among the knights, joking of your unnecessary affinity toward the weak. You realize that most of the new generation of knights do not recognize who you are since they have never seen your face. This is a first, you think to yourself, for it has been years since you have been disrespected in this manner. Your anger subsides as you realize it is your duty to guide these mislead knights, just as your God guides you through his word. Clasping your hands, you announce yourself as their King. The knights are shocked, some clamber onto their knees immediately, while others hesitate before bowing. The crowd also seems surprised as they all draw a collective gasp in broken unison. You call for your loyal guards, and they approach from the shadows of the audience stands.
“ From this time,” you announce in a clear voice, “ All knights present at this jousting ground will be set forth on a mission to find the legendary Holy Grail! But only the most devout and holiest will encounter it. The knight that brings me the Grail will rise to the highest of my ranks in the Kingdom! ”
The new generation of knights rise from their knees and shout their approval in unison. But as you walk away, you chuckle to yourself, knowing that if these knights will have to sharpen up quite a bit if they want to find the Grail.
