December is a busy month, so as a special extension, Challenges 08 & 09 will be held together with extra time to complete them both.
CHALLENGE 08 is: HEART OF THE PENDRAGON [theme-specific].
Interpret this however you like, but your icon must contain Arthur in some way :) What, or rather who, is inside Arthur's heart? What does Arthur fight for? What kind of king will he be? What secret does he harbour? What is his greatest fear? Greatest triumph?

Special categories for this challenge are:
