Through Time for Love

Chapter One
The beginning

London, England 2004

Arthur O'Shay was the Professor of Medieval History at a small
college in America he was here in England on Business. A few weeks
before he had received word that the remains of a Medieval castle
had been found. He had been contacted by an old and dear friend of
his.

He jokingly called his friend Galahad although his real name was
Gallad. He was a kind and gentle soul he and his boyfriend Wayne
could be gruff but he was a good man. Gallad was an archeologist so
whenever he found some Medieval artifacts he would give Arthur a
call.

When he got off his plane Gallad and Wayne were there waiting for
him, he received a hug and kiss from both of them.

"So how was your flight?"

"Oh it was fine Gallad, much nicer then my last one" Gallad laughed.

"That's good to know, you complained about your flight nearly the
whole time you were here last."

"I did not"

"Yes you did" Wayne replied. Arthur scowled at both of them.

"So what did you find exactly"

"A very old castle that judging from what I have seen so far it is
at least several centuries old"

"I am looking forward to seeing it"

"I know you are that's why your going straight to bed when we get
back to the house"

"Yes mother"

"Arthur so help me you say that to me one more time Wayne won't be
able to stop me this time"

"Ok, ok I give I am rather tired"

"Well when we get to the house take a hot bath, get something to
eat, then go to bed"

They got in Wayne's car and headed to their house which was close to
the center of town. Arthur always loved their house, on the outside
it seemed like a normal house but on the inside was a historians
dream there were pieces of art, armor, swords and more from so many
different times and periods.

Wayne took Arthur's stuff to the guest room and Arthur took a hot
bath, followed by some food and he was already feeling much more
alive, after saying goodnight to his friends he went to his room and
fell asleep not too long after his head hit the pillow.

Arthur looked around he was no longer in his bed in the guest room
he was in a wide open area a great wall stood before him. A young
man on a black horse wearing armor, with two blades strapped to his
back rode up. "Sorry I kept you waiting Bors wouldn't let me leave
actually it was one of his kids." the man said dismounting.

Arthur had no idea who stood before him but he found himself
answering. "That's quite alright" the man smiled.

"I know a perfect way to apologize for my lateness" then
he closed the distance between them and pulling Arthur to him began
to kiss him deeply. Arthur found his arms going around the mans neck
and he was returning the kiss. The other began to kiss slowly down
his neck suckling where his pulse was strongest Arthur moaned in
response.

"I love you Arthur" The knight breathed. Then his eyes widened
slightly and then he was on the ground bleeding from a bad
wound. "Arthur" he gasped out then he and his horse faded away and
Arthur awoke sitting up in his bed.

There was a gentle knock on the door. "Yes" Arthur called.

"Breakfast is ready" Gallad replied "Come on out of bed you lazy
thing" then his footsteps could be heard leaving.

Arthur shook his head and got out of bed when he was dressed he
headed downstairs. After a wonderful breakfast Arthur, Gallad, and
Wayne went to head to small bakery where they were going to meet the
rest of Gallads team.

When they got out of the car and were heading to the entrance of the
bakery someone bumped into Arthur and stole his wallet. He noticed
it a few moments later.

"Hey!" Arthur yelled. "Come back here you thief" and he began to
chase him Wayne not to far behind.

The thief didn't make it much farther because there happened to be
an off duty police officer who saw the scene unfolding. When the
thief was close enough the officer tackled him and pulled out the
pair of handcuffs he always kept on hand and forced the guy to drop
the wallet and then handcuffed him. A fellow officer was close and
took the thief away.

"Is this yours sir" The officer said. Arthur was speechless the man
standing before him looked exactly like the man from his dreams only
he was dressed in regular clothing. He was tall, dark curly hair and
eyes a goatee with elements of a beard forming.

"Sir?"

"Y…yes that's my wallet"

"Here" The officer said handing him his wallet back. "We haven't met
before have we cause I swear you look familiar"

"No I don't believe we have, I'm Arthur O'Shay"

"Lance Wolfram" the two men just stared at each other both knew
there was something familiar about the man in front of him. "Well
Arthur it was a pleasure, maybe we'll meet again"

"I would like that" as soon as the words came out of his mouth he
was shocked that he had said them. Lance smiled and nodded.

"Good day Mr. O'Shay" then he was gone. Disappearing into the crowd
and Arthur knew then and there that he wanted Lancelot Wolfram.
