Description
In days of old, it was commonplace for a brave knight to sally forth at the behest of his king, to seek out and vanquish some or other dark wizard who happened to be meddling in the affairs of decent townsfolk in some distant corner of the realm. The tale oft told is of a wizard vanquished and a knight returning in triumph to the court of the king. What you don’t hear about is those cases where the vanquishing doesn’t go as planned and the knight that returns to the court has been taken down a peg or three, to put it mildly.amandasreadingroom.wordpress.c…

Yes, I love this concept - well carried out as always - and I too love the willing volunteers at the end (But pedant's corner coming up: It should be ...gift thee... not ...thou... Dative case not nominative in this instance. I personally wouldn't have had the switches between 'thou/thee' and 'you' - though it is possible. And finally 'Come ye hence..' means 'Come from here'. If you meant 'Come (to) here' i.e. Come to me, then it should be 'Come ye hither...' Sorry! Just trying to tighten up an already excellent caption)

No need to apologize. I'm sure you're right. I claim no learned knowledge of Ye Olde English, it was just instinct from what I've heard on TV. I'll try to remember to check that next time a similar idea occurs.

Wow. A great one, Amanda! But I want to point something out to you, because you so rarely do this. You've misspelled comrades...
So how will Arthur's court treat her, I wonder? Shades of DC Comics' story Camelot 3000...except there it was Tristan who was reincarnated as a beautiful woman.

Yikes! That one slipped right by me! MY bad; I didn't check that word, like I usually do. Darn the fact that the SnagIt Editor doesn't have spell-check! This wouldn't have happened in a text editor like Word or FrameMaker. I'll fix that later. Thanks, Mellissa.

...Other than defeating the knight. You went from evil lord, to sex change doctor... Pfft, I don't know which side to feel sorry for.

I hear ya, but I think the modern dark wizard is fully able to do both jobs.

Surprise someone won't be an apprentice not to become evil. But just for the extra piece. XD Dark doesn't always mean evil though.

You're right. Personally, I'm a big fan of the dark. I'm usually awake through most of it. Best time to write!
