Never the Same Again Part 3
“You have a son” Gawain said somewhat in shock.
“Yes I have a son you act like it’s a bad thing”
“But I thought you loved Arthur, but then again I wasn’t so sure when you left before the wedding”
“I have never stopped caring about Arthur, I couldn’t stay there knowing that I would always be near him but no longer able to touch”
“So you returned here and found a woman”
“Something like that, it is a long story”
“Oh we have plenty of time”
“Fine I will tell you just let me get hinghings.” With that Lancelot began to walk away and he was limping. Gawain and Galahad looked at each other concerned. What had happened to the knight?
A short time later Lancelot, his son and nephew mounted their horses their thing in saddle bags. Then the five of them began their long ride back to Arthur. “So which will you tell us about first your leg or the young woman you were with.” Gawain d and and Galahad just shook his head.
“One day I was returning home, I wanted to be there before nightfall. I was but a few miles away when there on the ground I found a young woman. She was hurt and unconscious when I went over to her. I wouldn’t have felt right for leaving her there so I brought her home. As she recovered she told me that hers was one of the villages that had been burned recently. We began to talk and we soon discovered that we had a lot in common. I knew I would not be seeing Arthur again and she understood that although I loved her very much my heart would truly belong to him. We married in spring and were happy for a few years when she told me she carried my child. She never fully recovered from the birth and died a few months after our son was born. My sister died a few years ago and I took my nephew in. My leg that is another story for another time”
As they traveled Lancelot caught up on what had been happening since he had been gone and Gawain and Galahad got to know Lancelot’s son and nephew.
Finally the day came when they arrived at Camelot. Word was sent to Arthur that Gawain and Galahad had return with Lancelot and to others. Arthur didn’t quite catch that part as he found himself smiling his brave knight had returned at last.
Arthur was there in the courtyard with Bors. Arthur was barely able to restrain himself to wait as Lancelot dismounted. As soon as the knights feet touched the ground Arthur was there pulling him into his arms and kissing him passionately. After a moments hesitation Lancelot began to return the kiss.
“I have missed you so much my brave knight”
“Oh, Arthur” Lancelot said holding Arthur tightly. Then there was the clearing of three throats. “Hello Bors, Arthur there are two people I want you to meet.” He motioned the two young men forward. “This is my nephew Drake and this, this is my son Perceval”
“Your son?”
“Yes, Arthur my son” When Arthur started to say something else Lancelot shushed him. “I will explain everything, let us go someplace private”
Arthur nodded then led Lancelot to his study it didn’t escape him that Lancelot was limping. When they were both seated they were both silent a loa long time. Then Lancelot told Arthur what he had told Gawain and Galahad. “You have to understand Arthur she and were both lonely and we did love each other.”
“I understand Lance, I truly do I may have Guinevere but she could never truly compare to you. Will you have me back despite the fool I have been”
Lancelot managed to stand and limped over to Arthur and pulled him out of his chair and kissed him with all the pent up emotions he had kept inside all the years he had been gone from Arthur’s side. “That answer your question”
“Yes” Arthur said before he swept Lancelot into his arms and took a side passage to his room. Where they took their time getting reacquainted. As they laid in each others arms Arthur found himself asking about Lancelot’s leg.
“A few years ago my village was attacked I lost my sisand and I received this leg wound. I was feverish for days, well that’s what they told me they feared that they would have to remove my leg. As it is I have this lovely limp.”
Arthur was speechless. “I nearly lost you and I wouldn’t have even known it”
“It is in the past now, Arthur I am here with you again and I am not going anywhere”
For the first few months things were fine but that was when Guinevere began to act coldly to both Lancelot and Arthur. Merlin was not to happy to have the knight back either. He knew he had to get rid of the knight before he messed up his carefully laid plans.
Lancelot had been back a little over a year when he and Arthur had went out for a ride. They had been gone a few hours enjoying each others company when they were attacked. Even though he didn’t realize it then the ones who attacked them were after Lancelot.
Even though Lancelot was a great fighter he was no longer able to move as quickly because of his leg. As he fought of one attacker he felt the blade of a sword plunge into his back a little below his heart.
Then just as quickly the attackers were gone and Arthur was at Lancelot’s side. “Lance look at me, can you hear me”
“A…Arthur” Lancelot choked out. In his mind Arthur was plunged back nearly twenty years when he had found Lancelot after his rape.
“Lance stay with me, I don’t want to lose you”
“A…Arthur…I have…to tell you…it was…it was…Merlin who prevented…me from…returning…I just…wanted…one last…night” Lancelot managed to gasp. “I. “I…don’t think…he wanted…me to…come back”
“Lancelot stay with me with me” Arthur said desperation in his voice. “Don’t leave me, not again”
“Hold…me” Arthur held Lancelot tightly in his arms. “I…nevenever…really the same…was I”
“No you weren’t but I still loved you”
“L…love you, Arthur”
“No, don’t you dare say goodbye” Arthur yelled. “I refuse to lose you again after finding you after all this time” then Arthur began to pray, begging for Lancelot to be spared.
“Arthur…” Then Lancelot became limp in Arthur’s arms.
“Lance no” Arthur cried.
Then a soft gentle voias has heard. “Brave king, he who holds his fallen knight weep not. For you knight shall be returned to you. We are not ready for him to join us.”
“Who are you?” Arthur asked.
“We are the guardians and protectors of knights and kings, past, present, and future” Then Arthur heard a deep intake of air he turned his gaze to his brave knight as his eyes focused on Arthur.
“He will live, he is whole once more” then the voice was gone.
“Arthur, why am I on the ground? Have you finally decided to ravish me” Lancelot said with a smile.
“Lance”
“No Arthur I am whole once more the damage has been repaired. And I have been very patient so kindly remove your clothing or I shall do it for you”
Arthur found himself smiling. “Of course my brave knight, what shall we do about Merlin”
“Lets deicide that later right now you owe me a lot of make up sex” Lancelot said grinning as he pulled Arthur to him. It was true that he was never the same, but it didn’t matter to Arthur, after all he had his brave knight with him now and forever.
