Reading Notes: King Arthur: Part B

Characters: King Arthur, Sir Bedivire, Sir Lancelot

King Arthur: Has been mortally wounded. wants to get rid of Excalibur

Sir Bedivire: Is crying because he thinks King Arthur is gonna die. Is kind of weak of heart.

Sir Lancelot: Is sad that he can not keep seeing his love affair because her husband died and she became a nun.

Plot: King Arthur has been mortally wounded and is actively dying on the battlefield. Sir Bedivire is there and crying over his dying body. King Arthur asks him to throw his magic sword, Excalibur, into the water. He agrees and takes the sword to the water. When he gets there, he looks at the sword and sees all of the gems and jewels. He thinks about how it would be a shame for it to be thrown into a lake, so he hides it away and returns to the King. The King knows he hasn't done it though because he asked him to describe what had happened when he threw it in. He tells Sir Bedivire to once again go and throw the sword into the water. He goes again, but again he is unable to throw it in. He again goes to Arthur and again he sends him back. Finally, he actually does ti and a hand reaches out and catches the sword and pulls it under. He tells the King what happened and then is told to take the King to the water. When they get there, there's a barge full of crying women and Sir Bedivire puts King Arthur in there. He later dies. The Queen learns of the King's death and runs away to become a nun and dies as one. Her affair lover, Sir Lancelot, tries to contact her, but she turns him away and Lancelot stops eating and eventually dies.

Setting: After a battle and over the course of a few years.

Things I can Change: I think the ending presented in this version of the story is really sad. I think I would try to find a way to make it a bit happier.

Sun Wu Kong's terrible rage and battle prowess was well known. They didn't know if even their own King could defeat him. "Hey!" bellowed the stone ape, "Give me back my kids!!" evidently he wanted to try negotiation first. Stammering, the Devil-King responded, "Wait don't you want to fight me?" He had not expected the legendary Sun Wu Kong to reason before using his brawn. "Of course, but I'm trying to control myself so they don't have to see your sorry state after I'm done with you."
