22nd DECEMBER: (Guinevere, Elaine of Corbenic, Pain)
Elaine tried to get up, without much success. She had a bad fall and her horse Lily was ignoring her calls.
Brisane had been right, Elaine should have never left the castle alone. But she had been desperate to see Lancelot. Her Lancelot.
“Are you hurt?”
Elaine turned. A woman was looking at her. She had managed to take Lily’s rein and in her other hand she had the rain of a beautiful white mare.
“Yes, I mean- a bit. That is my horse.”
“I imagined,” smiled the woman. She wasn’t exactly beautiful. Brisane
would have disapproved the way the stranger was dressing (with red which was awful with her strange orange hair) and smiling (like… like a peasant girl) but Elaine felt strangely charmed by the woman’s sincere smile.
“Let me help,” said the woman, giving Elaine a hand to get up and helping her to get on Lily. “Where are you going?”
“To Camelot.”
“Wonderful!” laughed the stranger. “I am the queen of Camelot!”
