Hey there time traveler. I say that only because you ran away, tripped on a log, fell over a cliff, down a waterfall and ended up in another time. Kind of like that show where the family did something similar and ended running into dinosaurs and shit. Only difference is you see castles, knights and everyone else is dirty. Chances are you are now in the middle ages; good thing to cause a murder charge would have been your third strike back in your time. You up to speed now? Good, let’s move on.
It appears that you landed on the outskirts of a dingy looking town, you say so cause all the years of modern living pampered you. By their standards they are probably one of the cleaner kingdoms. As you get closer parts of it appear to be destroyed, but many of the towns people are hard at work rebuilding. They begin to spot you one by one, turning and whispering at the sight of a bear walking through their town. “Howdy ya’ll,” you manage to say. With a cough you give it another shot, cause that first one was weak. “Pleasant afternoon good people!” you shout as you wave… still no reaction, maybe it’s not so much your delivery and more the fact that you’re a walking talking bear.
In the corner of your eye you spot a small child assisting with the placing of a roof. He for a moment looses footing and stumbles back. Before he can hit the ground you dive in and catch him as if he was that hail Mary pass that scored the team a touchdown. It’s probably not the best analogy to get into your head, because you just spiked the little kid and started dancing. Needless to say after your heroic deed you ended up in jail.
Later in the day guards entered and stepped aside. A elegantly dressed maiden then entered motioning for the guards to open your cell. “My apologies for imprisoning you good sir bear. Please follow me.” With a shrug you nod and follow the maiden through the jail and castle until you reach what one would assume is the grand hall. It’s big and has a few thrones in the back with smaller tables on the sides, what else could it be?
You look around and eventually catch the gaze of a beautiful lady sitting in the largest throne. Her arm is resting on the crown as she waves, motioning for you to approach. “Hey, what’s up?” you stammer as you walk forward. Silence befalls the room as everyone else has kneeled at this point. With some awkward gestures you follow suit so as to avoid more jail time. “Good sir bear, by any chance are you brethren of sir Lancelot?” the queens inquires. This is responded with a confused face on your end, so she continues. “It’s just that you and the noble knight bear a shocking resemblance, I thought you may be of kin.” “S-ure?” you managed to let out. With a smirk her eyes glisten, “Well then sir bear, may I have your name please? And if you are not already serving a land, may you consider serving mine?”
Decision time:
Sorry I don’t like titles (6-M)
Let us discuss this further, over dinner perhaps? (6-N)
